Star Wars Galaxies Changes Coming
by Maarten Goldstein, Nov 02, 2005 4:50pm PSTA new producers letter has been posted on the Star Wars Galaxies website announces that changes are coming for this MMORPG. Julio Torres of LucasArts admits that "the game does not feel like a heroic Star Wars experience" and "Many of our fans who bought the game did not see enough Star Wars style action early-on and ultimately left our world" and hopes that improvements to combat, profession and character development will make for a better game. Many of the changes will come this month.

I was hyped when I first started but the game was pretty shit. I got all the way to master bounty hunter back when you had to walk everywhere and 5 out of every 6 bounty missions were bugged....that game was not ready for prime time back then!
Amazing, I was right! It really is sad. SWG had so much potential and was really a diverse MMORPG but it suffered from being released way too soon before enough content and bug/balance fixes could be completed, and in the end that killed the game. It's sad to see a game that offered so much get more and more dumbed down as the devs just give up.
Basically the game is going to be turned into a twitch-based 3rd person shooter. There will be 9 classes instead of 36, and you can start as a Jedi. Although old Jedi will be a bit more uber.
I, for one, might just resubscribe for this.
