Upcoming project, as of NBA Live Coins

with the route. You never know, this might work out really well and get loads more people playing our games. Maybe it'll become a regular thing where I change the name of the company every three years or so. (I won't)." Discussing his upcoming project, as of  NBA Live Coins yet unannounced, Marshall explained, "It's a completely new IP, completely self-funded and it's completely brilliant. It'll follow that classic Zombie Cow line of silly irreverent humor, and it's all coded and art-ed by me."

 

As part of an extensive Gamasutra feature interview with BioWare founders Greg Zeschuk and Ray Muzyka, the pair discuss the NFL Coins inevitability of their MMO being compared to World of Warcraft and why it doesn't bother them.When asked if he's bothered that Star Wars: The Old Republic is compared to WoW, Zeschuk tells Gamasutra, "No, I think it's inevitable. We're a pretty big developer that happens to be using the biggest license in the world."World of Warcraft, he says, has "set

 

expectations" and "conventions of gameplay that have been experienced by millions." "So, you know, you pay attention to those things, but while you're paying attention, you're doing your own thing," he tells Gamasutra. The Old Republic "is a very different experience."He continues, "It's obviously a BioWare game... It's very, very compelling. I think it's different. I think WoW and all the other MMOs, they have the same sort of challenge... There are thousands and thousands of heroes.

 

don't really feel special. It's an amazing experience, and it's really rewarding and fun, but you just don't feel special. That's what we're trying to do."Muzyka takes the contrast further. "The reaction that we've had, and a lot of people playing it have had... is that frankly once you've tried it, you just can't go back. You don't want to MMOGO try other MMOs anymore. I think that's what imbuing the game with a sense of heroic purpose and identity achieves." He's confident of the product's quality. "
