How Will SOE Make SWG 2?

Personally i'd love to see it made like the sandbox SWG used to be, with massive open scope, player cities, and many classes. However i fear SOE will try to make it like WOW from day 1.
It would be so cool to see Star Wars Galaxies 2 if it was like the first one, but 3rd generation graphics, the draw distances of Vanguard and i'd even except WOW style instanced dungeons, as long as the rest of the game was a sandbox. Of course it would also help it if was technically polished from day 1, and got a good stable launch. If i was SOE i'd buy the Crysis Engine, aim for a 2009 release day (By that time everyone would have PC's that would run the engine really smothly and it will still look good) and just polish the game, until its was released in Q4 2009. It could take the MMO world by storm, and in 2009 i think it would be possible for a amazing MMO to have 10 million players.

I'd like to see another developer pick up the Star Wars MMO title. SOE ruined it for me, so I really don't want anything to do with them again.

badly.

SWG - Killed by $OE
WOW - Retired

If and when the next Star Wars mmo is made you can bet a different developer will make it.
Second, I really doubt it will be a "sand box" game similar to the original. The reasons why are simple.
World of Warcraft. a good game but it seems that its success will mean everyone will clone it.
SOE tried to copy and paste WoW into SWG but we all know that.
I would LOVE to see an open sand box game that incorperates the following:
Sim City like building, Lots on NPCs that live in player build cities, full space sim and combat all incorperating Star Wars lore.
I think when players have alot of freedom to infuence the world it makes it fun for everyone but there must be alot of things to keep people busy.
Sad Outdated Entertainment has already had their shot and mutilated it. Time for someone who is more in touch with reality to get a chance at making a decent Star Wars MMO.
I would like to see the original sandbox gameplay brought back, as I just loved the skill trees and such. Also, perhaps have this one set in the Expanded Universe? I think having a more open ended SW universe setting would ROCK. I LOVED the original SWG but almost didn't play it as I do not like playing a MMO that is set in a specific era of time where hthe events of the world are set and unchangable.
Anyway, I hope to see this happen one day!:)
With any luck they wont.......
EVER.......
Critical thinking is a desire to seek, patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to consider, carefulness to dispose and set in order; and hatred for every kind of imposture.
By buying out George Lucas?
My guess is that they (whoever makes it, that is) will make it however will make the most money.
That might be a pseudo-sandbox style, might not. Perhaps the success of some up-coming sandbox style games will determine what direction they go.
I could see the success of the following MMOs as harbringers of hope for something other than WoW with blasters:
1. AOC
2. PoBS
3. Vanguard
4. Africa (or whatever that game is called)
Honestly, if they took everything they did right with the space game, and applied it to the ground game, they might be on to something.
PS: Before you blame SOE for messing up SWG, take a good look at the other games SOE is doing, and then think about the company that has been looking over SOE's shoulder on every move it has made with SWG. Then reallocate the blame accordingly.

SOE clearly does not believe at all in anything but cloning WoW and reusing junk from EQ2. Which is why Raph left, among other things.
If SOE handled another Star Wars MMO it probably wouldn't launch with even 100,000 players. Their reputation is completely and utterly shot with Star Wars and with the fan base.

SOE can help to make any future MMOs (not just a Star Wars one) much, much better, by not being involved with them.
How will $OE make SWG 2?

But then again.... I could always be wrong?
1) NO SOE AT ALL IN ANY WAY SHAPE OF FORM
2) eather time place in the far past or close future in the movie timeline
3) do not call it SWG2, the name itself will make some gamers from SWG not want to play, call it SW Online, or SW Universe. The name will make it seam like a new take on it.
That is my two cents, i could go on about the gameplay elements that i want in the game, but that is for a diiferent fourm lo.
SWG2(or whatever) will only survive and satisfy its constomers by being a 'niche' game which the Devs/Moneymen have to be willing to accept from the beginning. Not every MMO gamer or Star Wars fan wants to be running around killing things with a lightsaber, when 25% of most servers were Jedi and Smuggler's still couldn't smuggle(my pet peeve) that game was dead. No updates on older quests and minimal effort by the devs/SOE/LucasArts at all not counting the dreaded NGE etc.
Star Wars should be a sandbox and can very well follow the original storyline(to LucasArts' liking) with world events and eventually the elimination of the Jedi.
theres no way soe will develop another starwars game. I would quit MMO's all together if either of these comapnies developed a game together again. and i would lobby congress or whoever decides this crap to get a "hazard to your health" warning on the box and stating clearly on the box that there is no such thing as a persistent world and stating exactly where your sub fee is going? How many people thought 15 buck a month was for the persistant world and future development?
See you in the dream..
