First post, not sure if it's all true, but it made me laugh A LOT.

most interesting find clivey O_o

this intrigued me a good bit so i looked into it. for anyone else interested the most easily accessable information database for the change is found here (http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/content.jsp?page=STAR%20WARS%20GALAXIES%20NEW%20GAME%20ENHANCEMENTS%20GENER AL%20FAQ) . Although while researching this i noticed that the updates SOE has planned for the game(testing and developement) including the expansion dont seem to have anything to do with this change. If nothing else this is worth the $10 to knock the dust off the years of my life down the hole ascending a jedi T_T all in all i think its a good thing =D i like star wars, shooting games, and shooting people, not to mention long walks on the beach, The Color Purple, and massive explosions...

as soon as the people that poured their time into maxing out a jedi template and going through the months of PvP ranking manage to pull the 36 incher out of their asses they will see the game MAY actually be fun now(emphasis on may)

The link Oril posted confirms that it is real. It's just hard to believe they would just overhaul the entire game after so many years.

its not that hard to believe when you consider how utterly bad the first 2 versions of the game sucked. Not only that this is SOE we are talking about, if they can make a game worse...they will. consider this: back when i played SWG there was a running joke on my server that everyday when you logged in you were confronted by a message that said: "Today's Patch Notes-Found a place players were having fun and removed it."

Anyways i can understand them making this move from a business view point. at one point in time over 100,000 people played SWG now give or take 5 do. if they can come up with a change so drastic that it will make the 100,000 people pay $14 to reactive their accounts SOE just netted 1.4 mil. if the players then find out the game sucks anyways and leave SOE is still in the green and will probably just shut the game down(similar to what happened in japan). Maybe im wrong and the game will be worthwhile now, but i doubt it =D

Hopefully it'll be a lot better. The original game was just too easy and boring. I hope they decide to add raid content to give something for guilds to actually do together in that game.
