I like this Quote...
'Galaxies launched in 2003 and has been tweaked a few times since as its creators realised what people wanted to do.'

I read it. Yeah, it was pretty funny with the SWG reference.
I wouldn't say the reporter was biased in the writing. More of not knowing a d**n thing with the history of SWG. So if he wanted info of SWG, he probably went with the official people. And well... that should be spun positively by them for their "product."

A few minutes interview with a PR flack and viola, 'In Depth Reporting' at it's best.
Someone should point the author in the dirction of the missing Jimmy Hoffa corpse and JFK assasination, I bet with his crack reporting skills he'd have both crimes solved within a week.........
Damn it, now I gotta move the bodies.
Don't worry, I took care of it already.
Even the Emilia Earheart stuff.
Send the check in the mail, plz.

Sweet Mother of Meat! They gave us the CU and NGE!... and actually drove players away by the freighter-load!

Aye just a clueless reporter tbh but lets be fair when a big media corcoration starts reporting on MMO's something must be going right.
I expected better reporting from the BBC. This is quite a let down.
That artlicle read like an advertisment for SWG.
Ya star wars galaxies is taking on WoW. I wonder how that is going for them?
SOE didn't have the manual to make MMO's and that is why swg sucked? Oh well then I forgive them.
Hey fellow cabal members are you ready to return and play swg now. They didn't have the manual the first go around. Apparently they just found one. Its time to go back. Esh. My bad fellower swg/ngers. I am now in your ranks. SWG pwnzerz.

Funny thing is this game was more popular when it wasn't trying to be like another game. Rather, it had more subscriptions when it was trying to be it's own game.
You at least google the damn thing to get some backstory. He just wrote it off press releases and talking to PR reps. That wasn't a news article, it was a reacharound.
I thought the beeb knew about journalism.

"It's for adults," he said. "We did not want to be a teen-rated game, we wanted to have the possibility of making a game that takes the licence seriously."

SWG ADDICT...clean since the NGE
"Galaxies was one of the first MMOs," said Mr Neri. "There was no handbook on how to do these things."
Well at least they finally finished writing their handbook on how NOT to do these things....lol
SWG ADDICT...clean since the NGE
muahaha they tweaked the game out of competition, SOE ban made me go to WoW and after being UNprema-banned I played the tweaks and like hundred of thousands of you - quit .
Now Its LOTRO. SOE is not longer in competition . SOE's only hope to obtain MMO glory once again is the DC Universe MMO but a Belfry full of Batmans does not sound like my idea of fun.

That’s not unbiased, that just uninformed, or, wasn’t pertinent to the article.
Not every article needs a whole section devoted to the "Horrors" of SWG.

"Hello person posting on a site specifically for MMO's in a thread on a sub forum specifically for a particular game talking about meta features and making comparisons to other titles in the genre, and their meta features.
How are you?" -Me
Damn it, now I gotta move the bodies.
LMAO, proper corpse disposal should always be a high priority.
From what I have read of BBC coverage of MMORPGs, the guy writing all these articles thinks because he started with WoW, there was nothing previous to that which was any good.
I am sure many four letter words could be created for a response to that.
Now playing: VG (after a long break from MMORPGS)
Played for more than a month: Darkfall online, Vanguard SOH, Everquest, Horizons, WoW, SWG, Everquest II, Eve
Pre-combat upgrade two statements about SWG
1) Fastest selling MMO to up to that time period.
2) Second largest MMO in north america.
People left because the game didn't work. Making drastic changes to a broken game so that it is a different broken game doesn't change much. if they had just fixed the game it would have rebounded.
