Star Wars Galaxies: State of the Game

Star Wars Galaxies senior producer Gary Gattis has posted a new “State of the Game” report for the month of June. In it, he discusses the three main systems to be enhanced in Publishes 9 and 10. Check it out:

One of the more controversial changes that is occurring with Publish 9 is that characters who unlock their slots Between Publish 9 and Publish 10 will not be able to immediately convert to a Padawan. There are a number of reasons why we feel the need to do this, but foremost is a transition period between Force Sensitive and Padawan that will not be done until Publish 10: The Jedi Trials. If you do unlock you will be notified, but not able to convert until P10. If you do not unlock but are along the way, partial credit will be given. This has been discussed in the past few Friday Features.

Looking forward, the three main systems that we are enhancing are: Jedi, Combat Balance, and the Galactic Civil War (GCW). They are turning out to be extremely extensive (and extremely cool!). Accordingly, we want to focus as many resources as we can on them. This is challenging when doing parallel development of JTL, which in some ways is a completely new game. We have made some adjustments to the Live schedule, based on our desire to fully realize each system.
