SWG: Rage of the Wookiees Designer Diary #2

GameSpot’s second designer diary for Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees is now online, in which producer Dallas Dickinson provides some details about Kashyyyk and its new zones. An excerpt:

After determining which planet we would add with the next expansion, we moved on to deciding what exactly would appear on that planet. Again, knowing that Kashyyyk is the wookiee home planet made some of the content choices obvious. We know that the wookiee is one of the most beloved species in the Star Wars universe and that players would surely want to discover more about them. With Rage of the Wookiees, however, we took many cues from our current player base. Directed adventures, like the Death Watch Bunker, and the story-driven events, like the Cries of Alderaan, have been some of the most well-received content updates we’ve done so far in Galaxies. To that end, we’ve built the planet Kashyyyk to be an adventure planet that offers directed content and intense story-driven mission arcs.
