I'd be very cautious around taglines like "from one of the creators..."

Star Wars Galaxies was developed by a lot of people, and all you need to do is look at Turtle Rock, Left 4 Dead, and Back 4 Blood to see how little those taglines matter.

Fair, but in this case, it's Raph Koster. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raph_Koster

He was Creative Director for the original SWG, and then Chief Creative Officer under Sony once they bought it.

He also was a lead designer for Ultima Online before that, and did work on multiple other games (Including EQ2) afterwards.
