ShredderStatus Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) I would gladly pay $100 a month for that game. The days of star wars mmos are done mmos in general are dying. Disney will pull the plug a year after the movie and make a p2w app game instead. Edited November 20, 2015 by ShredderStatus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Victus Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I would gladly pay $100 a month for that game. You may get your wish. There is a rumor floating around that Daybreak Media (formally SOE) is negotiating doing a new Star Wars MMO revolving around the new trilogy. Nothing concrete solid yet sadly, but something to hope for, to add at least more options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kianabamin Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Google SWG Emulator. I'm sure there is something out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterSpatula Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 The last year or two of SWG, all anyone did on the forums was complain about how bad it was and how BW was going to show SOE how a Star Wars MMO was supposed to be. So it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azudelphi Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Would entirely depend on the gameplay, the content, graphics, stability, balance, etc... All hypothetical. SWG 1.0 had its strengths, but had serious weaknesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be more believable if these rumor starters linked it to EA instead (and even moreso if they tried to imply the new project out of Montreal is that - which of course it isn't, but still).

Meaning that Disney could develop a new mmo based on the new time line. I think I read that in some of the business articles from back then. I hope it is true.

He gives a behind the scenes of what happened and why, and explains that the SWG we all loved was only a mere shadow of what it was suppose to be. Just the things he talked about that they had planned on doing was nothing short of incredible. Certainly worth the read. They need to recapture that dream and make it happen!

I can't find the exact details of the deal signed between Disney and EA. Keep in mind, it is just a rumor. But every rumor is started with at least some truth in it. So for all we know, Daybreak could develop a Sci Fi MMO inspired by Star Wars, but not be Star Wars, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

branmakmuffin Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I would gladly pay $100 a month for that game. So, why are you here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holocron Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 So, why are you here? Cause it doesn't exist yet, and I like the SW ip. Although the voice overs and story telling have spoiled me, I can guarantee I wouldn't be here playing if it weren't for the Star Wars element. AND I suspect I'm not the only one who feels that way. Increasingly there are more and more negatives to this game than positives, so I feel we are all being slowly forced down the same road to cancellation.

Well THAT more closely coincides with what Smedley bragged about before "leaving" daybreak - that they had something SWG fans would be really interested in. But it was a VERY vague statement open, obviously, to a lot of different interpretations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't kept up. Last I heard they were having all kinds of problems and it didn't sound like a stable environment. That could be completely off the table now.

Blackbird Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I would gladly pay $100 a month for that game. $100/month is a bit steep. I could see maybe $40/month, provided they did it right (pre-CU style, of course). But yes, that would be awesome. You may get your wish. There is a rumor floating around that Daybreak Media (formally SOE) is negotiating doing a new Star Wars MMO revolving around the new trilogy. Nothing concrete solid yet sadly, but something to hope for, to add at least more options. Considering what SOE did to the last SWG, I sincerely hope this is just rumor. Google SWG Emulator. I'm sure there is something out there. There is. You should read Raph Koster's article about SWG. SWG was meant to be way more in depth and complex than what it launched.

I assume this is the article you are referring to, in case anyone wants to read it: http://www.raphkoster.com/2015/04/16/a-jedi-saga/ Seriously, someone give that man a SW license and the resources to make it happen!

Nothing concrete solid yet sadly, but something to hope for, to add at least more options. EA and Disney have an exclusive deal, so they wouldn't be able to get access to Star Wars until that deal runs out, then it takes 5-10 years to develop a MMO from scratch. So, don't count on it any time soon, if it even happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaximusRex Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 The rose tired glasses are strong with the SWG crowd. Yeah, game peaked at 300k subs, then dropped drastically and limped along for years with less than 100k, and then closed down when SOE decided that 30k subs wasn't worth renewing the License over.

bseefeldt Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) There were rumors of a SWG 2, But sadly the rumor is always a lie but to anyone that didn't play SWG and wants to talk trash I lol at because you dont know what you missed in this games hay day. A game that is as old as SWG but still has a better Starfighter system then what most MMO have today. A real crafting and housing system that blow away again from what we have today. So If they were to take all the thing that made SWG, with what players want today's. It would be amazing! but I feel it will never happen Edited November 20, 2015 by bseefeldt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
