Star Wars Galaxies: Jeff Haskell Dev Diary

The Star Wars Galaxies official site has been updated with a dev diary by Jeff Haskell, a recent addition to the Star Wars Galaxies design team.

My name is Jeff Haskell (AKA Jaskell) and I am a new addition to the Star Wars Galaxies design team. For the past 3 years I have been working on SWG as part of the SWG QA Team. I was a tester, a QA tool scripter, and now my dreams of becoming a SWG designer have become a reality.

A long time ago, in San Diego...

In 2003 I first read about SWG in Game Informer and PC Gaming. Being a huge Star Wars fan I clearly remember fantasizing about being a part of the development team but I really didn't take the dream seriously until I was laid off as a computer consultant. As fate would have it I inherited a home in San Diego, California and moved in. I had to find a job locally and had forgotten that SOE was a stone's throw away.

I was a perfect match for SOE, but SOE didn't know it. I sought to remedy this by hanging out in their parking lot with résumés until security booted me.

    He should get to work on the new Death Star version 3.0 and a blue glowy of Grand Moff Tarkin for chapter 9, so when KoTOR Online is announced he can  say "The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away." "You may fire when ready"

    I wish I still had Jeff's enthusiasm for SWG. I remember the days when all I could think about was getting home to log in and make my own way in the Star Wars universe. Something happened along the way and my zest and zeal for SWG was lost.

    Yeah, the NGE happened

    SWG is dead, I wish they'd just bury the damn thng already. SOE should take the people they have wasting time on it and devote them to other games, Like poor MxO, who has a team of ONE working on it. (Poor Rarebit).
