Video game developer BioWare has offered a number of details on how it plans to change the nature of the MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic with the upcoming 1.3 update.

The Question & Answer session is pretty lengthy and tackles a lot of subjects about the game, explaining that the main aim of the company is to increase the scope of the experience and make sure that all players, even those who have hit the level cap, have something to do.

The developers have confirmed that Ranked Warzones will be included in the 1.3 update and have also hinted that HK droids, which BioWare has used as a source of comic relief in Knights of the Old Republic, might also be coming to the MMO.

Star Wars: The Old Republic has been steadily dropping sales since it was launched in late 2011 and BioWare has already promised more frequent content updates in order to keep players interested and subscribing.

well duh, they removed world unranked, PvP and made the "War Zones" cross servers. This effectively turned a nice, unique and fun game into a World of Warcraft clone, with voices.
