SWG an Empire Divided: What would be a more fitting name?

ArcAngel3

The game we all know so well is officially called Star Wars Galaxies, an Empire Divided.  I've heard it called many things, including Star Wars Galaxies, a Community Divided, thanks to some horribly divisive management decisions. 

What names can you come up with as current or former players that sum up your experience with the game? (They can be positive or negative; I welcome all points of view and experiences.)

For me it would be something like "Star Wars, Rise of the Sony Online Empire, the magic of childhood overshadowed by corporate greed."

r0de

I think taking Galaxies out of the name would sum the game up better.   Honestly, Galaxies are vast and diverse, and the new SWG is nothing like that.  So, Star Wars: an Empire Divided is a good name.

I think if they were to back track to preCU SWG, Star Wars Galaxies: Sagas would be a more appropriate name.  You make your own saga in the SW universe.

Star Wars Galaxies: A Game With a Development Team So Creatively Bankrupt That They Think Meatlumps Are Star Warsy And Iconic

Forcan

Personally:

 

Pre-CU = Star Wars Universe

CU = Star Wars: Galaxies Divided

NGE = Star Wars: The Jedi World / Star Wars: Iconic Crap of Star Warsy

Calling on all Master Jedi for (minor) help, you can take part in Master Norris™’s effort to rebuild the Jedi Order, and overcome the obstacles that encompasses. And of course there’s hundreds of hours worth of content for our two non Jedi Classes, Guy with Gun, and Guy without Gun. (All of which Jedi are able and entitled to.) All for the mere price of 69.99$ (Not Including S/H, M/R, Sales Tax, Inflation, or Processing Fees. Except to wait 6-8 weeks before excepting a 6-8 week delivery.)

As always we’ve got an unlimited number of features and content as is our every expansion.

Meet and interact with famous, Star Warsy™, and Iconic™ Characters™ all from the expanded Star Wars™ Universe such as

MK-09

Stith

Jinzo

Captain Jack Sparrow

Barry Bonds

Foxxy Love

and of course Chuck Norris™

Explore the Massive City-Wide Planet of Coruscant (In one of eight separate instances) and see exotic locations such as.

The NewJediOrderTemple (Hand constructed by Master Chuck Norris™}

The OldJediOrderTemple Ruins

The Old Jedi Bath House Ruins

The Emperor’s Petting Zoo

Burger King (of the Jedi)

The SenateBuilding (Currently being rented as an auditorium)

Palpatine’s Secret Love Nest

AK-47’s Secret Anti-Matter Bomb Factory/Gift Shop

As always we’ve got AWEOMSE new loot and abilities for you to find!

Mandalorian Jedi Robes (Jedi Only)

Quadruple Bladed Lightsabers (Jedi Only)

Blue Steel Color Crystal (Jedi Only)

Jedi Sanctioned Jetpacks (Jedi Only)

Jedi Personal Clone Armies (Which are Jedi in Clone Armor, Jedi Only)

New Jedi Powers like Flight, Intangibility, X-Ray Vision, and The Ability to grow your Fingernails Long. (Jedi Only)

Jedi Collectible Cards (Jedi Only)

Advance Bounty Hunter Training Droids (Jedi Only)

Intergalactic General Surveying and Harvesting Satellites (Jedi Only)

Cheese (Jedi and Non-Jedi)

We’ve gotten an even bigger series of quests and amazing story arc’s that will BLOW you away.

Chuck Norris™ have almost completely defeated the Empire single handedly (Literally, he only used one) stopped himself as it was simply to one sided for them to win. In his infinite wisdom he left the Empire intact as an opportunity to help train new future Jedi in an effort to build the “New Jedi Order of Chuck Norris™”. Train under the Jedi Master Chuck Norris™ and learn the fundamentals of both achieving peace and launching a man into low orbit with a well placed roundhouse kick. Test your bravery against Storm Troopers, AT-AT’s, the Alabama National Guard, Smurfs, Lawsuits, Boredom, International Long Distance Fees, and Brian Boitano to become on of the few Chuck Norris™ sanctioned Jedi Black Belts in the known universe!

Also be sure to take time off from the main Story Arc to enjoy some of the other quests, such as.

Search the Emperor’s massive petting zoo, defeat the Satanic Sheep of Sidious, and discover the might warrior Stith, and learn from how to be underappreciated and overqualified.

Infiltrate the Ruins of the ancient Jedi Bath House, and rescue Captain Jack Sparrow and his immunities from the ghosts of the last Jedi orgy and their undead army of Gungun eunuchs.

Travel to Burger King (of the Jedi) and assist Barry Bonds in taking advantage of their incredible menu and prices. Then help Barry do battle against certain legal accusations and certain publications to secure his claim in the Hall of fame.

Discover Jinzo’s sinister plan to destroy Coruscant with a never ending run of a poorly produced theater version of “Reservoir Dogs” which he runs out of the former senate building. Bring Jinzo to justice on Court TV for copyright infringement against Quentin Tarantino, and get his Jedi Master Collector Cards in the lawsuit.

Help MK-09 destroy AK-47’s anti-matter bomb factory and his platoon of enchanted robotic dwarves. Then raid his gift shop of reasonably placed knick knacks and prove once and for all that HK-47 was just ripped off from MK-09. (Or at least prove he thinks that)

Join the Mystery Solving Musician, Foxxy Love, unravel the clues surrounding Palpatine’s secret love nest as you both go deep undercover for the truth and a few hundred bucks.

Naturally we’ll have some incredible gifts for simply ordering the expansion.

Your first Pre-Order reward is your own Personal Star Destroyer. The long awaited Capitol Ships have arrived (in a single one time expansion Pre-Order reward.) at long last. The Star Destroyer will be PoB ships with 100,000,000 Mass and 1000 Weapon Slots, all of which will be loaded specifically with new L99 PoB Parts.

The ship’s interior will match that of it’s actual size, and L90 NPC’s will manage all gunner and repair duties while in use. It’s also contains all important city structures, including a starport.

The Star Destroyer also has the unique feature of being able to land and be placed as a House. To help it’s landing the Star Destroyer is capable of bombing any area of any planet to make room for it’s placement as a house. While as a house it’s guns as a ship become active NPC Turrets. While it’s landed, it can still be used a ship without even losing it’s placement as a house.

The second Pre-Order reward is the actual “Chuck Norris™, Jedi Black Belt” which grants it’s wearer immortality, the ability to warp space and time, and turn people into frogs. (Jedi Only)

The Third Pre-Order reward is the Republic Diplomat Speeder (As seen in Episode III). Faster then any Previous Vehicle introduced in the game, it’s also the only useable vehicle on the planet of Coruscant.

Even those who don’t pre-order will still get the elusive “Sewer Rat” mount, the only useable mount on Coruscant. (Using it however will cause your character to become deathly ill)

We’ll also be introducing a new dynamic “Enabler” system for both loot and quests. To make the game more Star Warsy™ you no longer simply “accept” quests and “rewards” you’ll now need to find “enabler” items.

These extremely rare, no trade, no drop, no stack “enabler items” will needed both to start and end quests. To “earn” a quest now you must loot certain enabler items and give a correct combination of these items to an NPC in order to start the quest. Like bringing the “simple Whopper Meal”, “advanced iPod”, and “exceptional Sony Plasma Screen TV” to a certain NPC (Which we won’t say) and you’ll be able to start the “Red, White, and probably Illegal” quest.

When you finish a quest you’ll have to also give the NPC a proper combination of items to get a reward and credit for completing it. Enabler Items are looted and random from NPC’s all across the planet. Also, improper combinations result in the destruction of all enabler items in your inventory.

You know what's funny? After the latest update (re:Meatlump crap), I can see them reading that post and thinking 'Hell why not?'.

Can I see them actually adding a Burger King? Emporers Love Nest? Petting Zoo? Yes, in all honesty, I wouldn't put it past them. I do believe they are that out of touch. After the Meatlump King fun park, anything is possible.

 

Good post BTW.
