Everyone hear about the SWG debacle?

MMORPG = Abomination

Ive come up with my own new way of doing a Star Wars MMO.

Basically combining KOTOR and SW Battlegrounds.

Too bad no one would play it even if it got built.

You replace the jedi powers with the stupid 'convert and heal' powers from SW Battlegrounds?

A real good Star Wars MMO would be more like Planetside and less like EQ. The way I picture it in my mind is like one long game of counterstrike that lasts until one side or the other takes over everything, then resets. Or something. Or maybe is divided up between planets and takes about a year before the galaxy resets. Who knows.

This click an NPC, click a button, go get a snack stuff is for the birds.

Yeah, I've always fancied games with large strategic maps with battles being waged to take over each of the little territories. Tribes 2 was supposed to be like that with a variety of servers connected through a matrix, each one of them representing one small area of the total map, but that never materialized. Sigh.

I like mmos, especially I like the interaction with other players . Currently I'm playing Eve and am enjoying it very much.

MMOs = Group Sex
SP Games = Masturbation

Masturbation seems the safer option.... again. Sigh.

It's too bad about SWG. I really don't understand how the programmers can be that dick about it.

Considering the quality of available partners, masturbation is the more satisfying option.

That's why almost the entire first page of the thread is from August of last year.

Damn thread necromancers.

Exactly...but then put into a meaningful persistent world

...with NPC civilizations taking part to claim territories too

...with a skill system integrated that helped towards the objectives (aka bomb disarming or gun skill)

THATS a good start right there.
