Star Wars Galaxies Support To Remain

October 23rd, 2008 No Comments   Posted in News, PC

It appears that the Star Wars Galaxies team is prepared to continue putting time and effort into their game despite the recent announcement of the Bioware Star Wars MMO. Now, it’s not as though they didn’t have plenty of time to think about a strategy to keep their game alive even with the competition. LucasArts executive Tim Nicholas stated that they think the games can coexists, and that certain mistakes made in Star Wars Galaxies will be avoided in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

“We have many other features planned to support Star Wars Galaxies. We see no reason why the two games can’t exist together.

We’ve learned how important it is to listen to your community and act on that feedback. We also realized what players expect from an online Star Wars game – they expect to be that iconic Star Wars hero as soon as possible. They don’t want to play for hundreds of hours just to become a Jedi.”

Now, just because the games can exists together doesn’t mean they will. I expect Star Wars Galaxies will come to a quick end after the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic.
