I was one of the founding members of SWG. Well no i wasnt but I did get the chance to play SWG from year after release. Everyone break out there shock machines cuz thats what were goin do to the SWG franchise! We need to breath some more life into this one legged meatlump. SWG2 is the awnser for your Star Wars onine fix. I think there should be a SWG2. So heres the poll!

Should add the option of "Yes, but only if SOE DOE NOT make it" If that's the case I'd very much like to see another Star Wars MMO.

Sums up my feelings about SWG pretty well

Star Wars Galaxies: R.I.P.
(1) No way in Hades if it's made by SOE or any of the guys currently in that shop ...
(2) Has to be named something else, you wouldn't spend millions to launch "Titanic 2" and expect a rush of customers.
Star Wars Galaxies 2 has such a nostalgia type ring too it. I bet if there was some RvR type pvp playing fields,with the current PvE system thats in SWG as it is now, with enhanced atmospheric visials SWG2 could become something spectacular. Maybee a few dungons like the Current imperial base on Datonie. The badge system was ingenious! Got have that too! And the 32 professions to pick from was also something that was great!

John Smedley beat up my grandmother.
Now that everyone has posted there thoughts about a SWG2 mabee we can go into some detail about what would make SWG2 the most sucessfull mmog on the market. Ideas like PvP,PvE,RvR,crafting,professions,etc.. Share you opinion on what you would want in SWG2.
What Id like to see in SWG2 is maybe some PvP instance battlegrounds. The badge system could wrap around the PvP. Maybee have the Starting areas for players on like the death star, and the light side ship where new talents could be leveled up there with classes. Those are just few that are tickling me.

Secondly if there ever will be a second Star Wars MMo then hopfully they make it out side the Films time line... so we could have some intresting features.. like a guild could become the new "empire" or somthing like that.
and i really think they should allow player housing but inside the pre made city's... so a guild would perhaps controle one town and allow certain people to live in side there city..
other than that... like many of you have said if there ever will be an new SW MMO that is not done by SOE i will be deffinetly be playing that game... but i seriusly doubt that i will ever activait my SWG account again. even if its SWG2 or somthing like that
Sorry for typos... dyslexic and just too damn lazy to proof read every post for 30 min
(yes i am aware of spell check but it does not help that much
Very good ideas from the last poster. Yes the player made citys were something that was exiting yet satisifying in SWG. It drew people togather to focus on a goal and set out to do it. I my self never joined a player made city but I did travel through them quite frequently for resources,ship parts,design ideas, community relations, and so forth.
The numbers show so far that the majority of the poll takers would in fact support a SWG2 all the way! This isnt suprising to me at all.
But, It was still star wars, which was awsome...
though pre-cu system is nice, cant rly see it without swg though, perhaps im just off but
Starwars Galaxies, An Empier Diveded, That's what it says on my box anyway.
So far out of 63 voters 66.7% would support a SWG2 in some way. After that comes a 14.2% of voters that would not support a SWG2.
These numbers indicate a strong push for another great Star Wars online experience. While there was 19% undecided with some "Star Wars therapy" im sure some of those would join the supporting group. I mean if you were one of the lucky ones to catch the comercials for Star Wars Galaxies, those were great.
o and what does pre-cu mean?

CU means Combat Upgrade. Pre CU means the time before the Combat Upgrade. The way things were before SOE tried to balance the combat in the game. The way things were were better... unbalanced... but better. I did not like the CU... but lived with it.
Things were pretty much unchanged from the CU to the NGE. In pre-CU days SWG was like a giant giant live Beta test. And like a beta... unbalanced. For example (imo) Melee players were king... period. Ranged toons were highly gimpy (except Rifleman/Combat Medic template).
Execute order 66 again please! Call it SWG 2... call it whatever... until the NGE returns creatures, returns complete freedom to hybrid yourself in limitless ways, returns Jedi to an unlocked and RARE profession and returns scout/ranger skills... I will not play it.
status... SWG refugee
IF YOU KEEP LOOKING AT ME YOU'LL SEE ME KILL YOU
Pre-CU. Yes its all about pre-cu! I remember when I was a doctor working in the Coronet city hospital on Corellia pre-cu on bloodfin. For those that didnt play SWG this city im refering to, Coronet, would be similar to a Ironforge in World of Warcraft. There were thousands of people lining up to me to get patched up and buffed everyday. I had to have bounty hunters and comandos protecting me at all times from all kinds of dangerous things while working in the hospital.
I think if a SWG2 came out the buffing and healing system would be well implemented by copying that of the buffing system that came with SWG upon release. Maybee add some more complications to each or intricacies to both the buffing and healing but the framework would be best kept the same. Maybee some deep inriching atmospheric side quests for each profession granting new abilities and badges with some up close and personnel cut seen interactivity.
Keep voteing!!

QFE and or it is subject to NON core game changes or within at least 3 times or so.
No matter what as long as SOE or almost LEC does not play a major role in it -- which is almost funny yet sad, yet true all the same.
Kinda fucked up it ended up this way.

I would fully support a SWG 2 if it was nothing like preCu, CU or the NGE. No need to try and bring back any of that mess, start fresh and invent something new.

One thing that Star Wars Galaxies did so well was sticking away from what 90% of most other sucessfull mmorpgs do and thats those craza instance's. Star Wars Galxies realy adapted well without having to implement such things. The Geonosion LAb on Yavin 4, The Warren on Dantooine,Nightsister fortress on Dathomir,Squil cave;Fort Tusken and Jabas Palace on Tatooine. There is Plenty more that I could list but these were a few of my favorites that might not have been so fun to go too if they were made into instances.
