BioWare adds Irish customer service center

lmao. Bioware and customer service thats a good one....

the only game related thing we havein galway

I take it this game is gonna be riddled with bugs then?

This game is gonna blow anyway. LucasArts should have had KotOR 3 made instead of this crap.

i can see me calling them and every one of those folks sounds like shaemus from wwe. ha, well ok seriously, good job bioware. and i am not being sarcastic!

@Smarty12 - I half-heartedly agree with you. But if you have been watchin the updates and seeing the videos I think you'd change your mind. Bioware IS creating another KOTOR. The thing is you can be online with 10 of your friends. It has the same combat and classes as in KOTOR, it has the same dialogue choices as in Mass Effect, and the scope 13 times the size of Oblivion. I have great faith in Bioware. They have never let me down.

Good for the Irish I guess

Northern Ireland would have been a better location.

@ danaketh I remember when SOE took over the Matrix Online. That was way back in the day but I'm pretty sure that was a sad day to remember. Matrix Online was great.

Smarty21: Yeah, enough dull fantasy MMOs that a lot of ppl don't care about. There's a lot of ppl who want SW MMO as a replacement of SWG that SOE managed to make worst MMO on planet...

BioWare please don't make MMO's. We want Mass Effect 3 and more games like Dragon Age. Even Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic 3 would be awesome. Just not an MMO, we have enough of those in the industry...

good for their Irish clients I guess...

And for those saying it's not news worthy - For me being in the UK I find the fact that Ireland is actively trying to get gaming companies to set up shop an interesting fact. Makes me wonder if the UK is doing anything similar.

@Shawn45 I just went back to WAR and it's really not that bad mate. I'm also a WoW player but so bored of it I thought I would try something else and unlike some other MMOs, you still get other new players in the starting area of WAR. If you have not tried it recently give it a go, if you have just ignore me. :)

Is this news-worthy? lol Dell has registered a new 1-800 number and it is thought to be connected with the newly founded service center that was recently constructed in New Dehli! Whoo. Hahahah

Aww, good for you Bioware!

As an irishman, I think it's great for Galway but the people who take up those jobs are immigrants anyway so no 'Top o the monrin to ye' unless it's in a moldovan accent. Also, to answer another question, US companies base their European HQ in Ireland because it's the closest country to them, and they love playing on our golf courses, simple as that.

I really hope that they don't release this game when it's still obviously in beta form. COUGHCOUGHWARHAMMERCOUGHCOUGH. Sorry, I just had disappointing memories from a game I thought was going to be amazing happen to turn out to be complete crap because it was rushed...

i don't know much about this game. but i do know that it's made by bioware...and that's good enough for me.

Release date is pretty soon, yeah? They'd better damn well finish the game before they release it. Before any morons go off on a tangent about how "MMORPGs are never finished": There's a FINE LINE between "Ready for release" and "NOT ready for release". My example is Star Trek Online.

@nickythenewt21 Was thinking the same thing... slow news day I guess.

"Top of the mornin' to ya what can I do you for?" I would call their customer service every day to hear that....

Why not put the Headquarters in the middle of Europe instead of at the outskirts?

I live in Ireland but am surprised at the decision to base it in Galway. with the exception of a few main cities such as Galway, Ireland's business is mainly centralized around its capital, Dublin. This placement must be to keep costs down as I cant see how it would be more convenient. However as I am pursuing a career in Multimedia with a view to electronic design I welcome the investment of new business.

It's good that they will have support in that region. I'm hoping this game is going to be good. I'm getting a new laptop at the end of the year so I can play Starcraft 2 and SW: The Old Republic on it.

I don't know if that will be enough if it's as popular as WoW at launch. I think this is really the only MMO that can pull WoW players. It seems to be a similar type of game, but better in every way.

@nocoolnamejim But Jim, there are like zero shooting games on the 360, Mass Effect was too generic being a blend of shooting and RPG elements. We need more shooters... /sarcasm I completely agree - Mass Effect had its own niche until 2.

Cool... do they say 'Tap 'a' tha marnin' toe ya' when they answer the phone? :D

awesome :D

I work in CS, wish I could work for BioWare :(

YAY:D I wish I lived in Ireland:)

So there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Looks like EA are planning big things for "SW:TOR". Anticipation heightens...

ireland rrrrrr or something something beer

Hurray for the Irish!!

not far from where i live

Ah that's sounds good

thats pretty cool, more guys to play with.
