A favored SWG developer moves to SWTOR

Massively reports that a  one of Star Wars Galaxies’ developers, and apparently a fan-beloved one, has moved on to the The Old Republic development team: 304o5x

Massively has learned some exciting news for Hoth and Death Troopers.

His wit and easygoing demeanor gained AdeptStrain quick rapport among fans. Roleplayers, in particular, have a vested interest in his work because of the added character customization given by the Appearance Tab. Some players are even considering moving to SWTOR just because AdeptStrain is now a part of the team. A loss for SWG truly is a gain for SWTOR.

Based on their job postings, it does not seem that SOE are looking for a replacement, but when they do, he or she will have big shoes to fill. We at Massively congratulate Matt on his new position and wish him well.

Matt has also since made a couple of posts on the forums (post 1, post 2, post 3):

Hi guys and girls,

If you played SWG in the last two years or so, you know me as AdeptStrain. For everyone else, nice to meet you!

I’m insanely excited to be something really amazing.

I can’t wait to start having some interesting conversations. Till then, I’ll be diligently working on my various tasks.
– Matt

Post two:

Thanks for all the <3 guys. To answer a few quick questions, my job title is programmer. My current tasks are… my current tasks.

Replying to questions about his ingame allegiance and class:

I honestly have no idea. I normally like being on the good side of things, but I also tend to find the Trooper class is pretty awesome.

The best of luck to Matt in his new job and congratulations to both him and BioWare on the new partnership.
