Comments
i'd love to see a second shot at the series...
by a good game company.
blizzard is the first mmo developer proven to be good, so i'd have to be someone who like they, are new to the industy...
then it might have a shot of being cool. $0E is simply trying to turn all of its games into wow.... mimicry is for survival, not fun. fuck you soe

Well I have heard the rumors that LucasArts wants a good Star Wars MMO to be ready for the time the new live action TV series launches, probably around 2008 sometime. Now if it will be SWG fixed up or a whole new game remains ot be seen, but I can believe they would want a MMO to tie in with the TV show.
Humm wrong!!! I would love SWG beeing made by the same guys who made KOTOR, or by the EVE-online guys... Hell NO!! I don't want a WOW clone, I want what swg was pre-cu, Complex, not for everyone But the best game ever...
I would only play SWG2 if
1) SOE Had no part of developemnet Whatsoever.
2) SOE will NEVER have ANY part of it Whatsoever.
3) Space was Developed by CCP devs (Eve-Online)
4) Land battles were developed by Mythic (Dark age of Camelot)
5) Complete ability to loose EVERYTHING you own, Except for levels, such as when killed by a player, Full looting no mercy, let the carebears cry it out.
6) Huge Factional Battles Open PvP and only RP servers Available.
7) Fewer servers, larger amounts of people per server, Eve servers are a good look 20,000 players on a server instead of 5,000 is a nice change. (helps fill out the universe of Star Wars Better IMHO)
8) Smuggleing to ACTUALY BE IN THE GAME.
9) The game Launches with both planets and space travel and fighting ready, i mean whats star wars without the stars?
10) The Devs are forced to play 15 hours a week of their game, to let them get a first person look on what needs to be changed.
With # 1, and 2 already being set in stone as requirements, all i would want is one other from this list, and i would play and buy this game, if they dont do this looks like Star Trek Online for me. Or maybe ill just still play eve. I dunno. Vanguard ftw though lol. I have high hopes. LA and SOE might just shitcan this game, and start a new, since htye are finding out MMO's build a reputation, and people ussually check forums before purchasing a game, and when they see forums of hate, and SOE being the laughing stock of the gaming world. I suggested to a GM in the EverQuest 2 chat, that they should just take the SOE logo off the Star Wars galaxies box in an attempt to get a bigger player base. He laughed.

I agree. Cheers mate
It is a nice concept you have..... the KOTOR team merge with CCP (EVE)... damn.. that would be Sweet...
Hold on....
I changed my mind.
Bad Idea... If they ever came out with a game, It would be my ruin.
The Beautiful lady of my life would leave me, my precious mutt-cat would fossilize on my lap from neglect. And I would be a Howard Hughes (in his later years) look alike clutching a mouse playing the game.
bad Idea.
did a quick serch for any info for SWG2 on google and found nothing but rumors but i did find this

I would only want SWG 2 to be developed by:
Sigil-as they have a lot of the original people who developed pre-cu SWG, and they are hardcore.
Turbine-They make pretty solid games and I like their MMO's so far.
Blizzard-Only if they hired some new artists and didnt make games cartoony. But it is so unlikely since they have their own franchises.
And maybe just LA.
I will settle for any company besides SOE.
Whannnnn Whannnnn dat is the sound of 20 year old babies
Hey, its all about $$$ with SOE and Mr. "Im not a Corporation" Lucas.
FU $OE for the CU and now the retarded version you have given us now.
Hopefully hes refering to Obsidian, Kotor 2 sucked.

To be honest it was both Bioware and Obsidian, both had problem with Lucas Arts, and so did Pandamic

I didnt know about that. Anything would have been better than the ending in kotor 2, I dont know which is worse, the ship being able to fly (and somehow get out of that trench) after it was basically smashed, crushed and broken in half, or the final battle with those stupid floating sabers.
