BioWare's founders, Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk, have been cagey about the in-development BioWare MMO for months now. Unwilling to do more than talk around the edges of the project, what they have said about it at events like GDC is highly intriguing. In a chat with the folks at the MTV Multiplayer blog, the doctors offer yet more teasing hints about the game, while simultaneously praising the recently launched Age of Conan from Funcom.They view Conan's success as an indicator there is still room in an already-crowded marketplace. They also note that they take very seriously the concerns of solo-oriented and console-only gamers. In essence, Zeschuk says, they've been looking at other games and considering their own path regarding the interactions between players. ""Instead of forcing players to do things; allow them options and choices," said Muzyka. "They can tailor their experience. This is what we're trying to do with our game, as well. This is why we tend to not make linear games. The consumer expects that."" The good doctors also don't rule out the possibility their own title will make its debut on a console ... though they don't say it will either.
