Well thats disapointing...I know this was intended for younger audiences but I was expecting an mmo. I mean Free Realms is for kids but it is an mmo. This game seems lazy and misguided I think. A f2p Star Wars mmo no matter what the intended age group is would attract alot of people, this on the other hand will just be scorned by most gamers out there.
I dount SOE bothered investing too heavily in this as ToR is going to destroy it without a trace. I can't see anyone playing this once Bioware release The Old Republic.
No I can see why SOE have gone the route they have though it does seem a step back and unlikely to make best use of the IP or the legions of Clone Wars fans.
You realise this ISNT aimed at "hardcore" mmoers right?
Oh wait i forgot mmoers seem to think every game is made for them.
Its good to see that there are still a few normal people with a brain, that hasnt lost touch with reality . The majority of MMO'ers are the biggest self-centered group of people that I have ever seen. They think every game should cater to them and if it doesnt, its an automatic FAIL!!!. Every game has to have PvP, Every game has to have jump, Every game has to have this, every game has to have that. Get over yourself people. The MMO genre needs diversity and that include: games for hardcore, games for casuals, and games for all age groups.
Edit: I am speculating but I think SOE is making these kid MMO's to try to draw in some extra income to help fund their next mainsream MMO. We have'nt seen the last of SOE in the "so called " mature MMO market. ( in general clone wars has the same maturity level as mainstream MMO's)
Waiting for:EQ-Next, ArcheAge (not so much anymore) Now Playing: N/A Worst MMO: FFXIV Favorite MMO: FFXI

let's not jump ahead of ourselves. let's wait til TOR releases and see if it isnt a POS wanna be MMO. then we can make formulated opinions, rather than assumptions.

Knowing what Free Realms is and reading this by Guest Writer, I am not sure if he/she tried the final version of Clone Wars Adventures. Its possible there is more to it than just the lobby once further fleshed out. However, watching the trends of Lucas Arts marketing department, I would not be surprised if there is a memo to SOE to K.I.S.S. on this project.
Since its prepping for launch at the same time as DCUO, it probably won't get the same level of attention. Lets face one truth, LA wants to end thier relationship with SOE. Thier in it for the money, short or long term.

Cool
Looks like SOE is making another NGE.
For such a mature community, we're all sure interested in this kids' game.
Naw, nobody it really interested its just another way for the haters to attack SOE.
WOW isnt great because it has 12 million players. WOW has 12 million players because its great.

True, this game has been very rushed. I think it was near the end of last year when they were pulling together a team to make a propsal to lucas.
Taking a few minigames on top of the free realms engine is about all it looks like. To bad, the free realms engine actually looks pretty decent.
