I think it would rock if it had a Pre-CU number of professions, brought back the battlefields they had in the beta/first week of the game, and made getting jedi 100 times harder than that joke of a holo grind. Or even remove them. Oh and lets try to get a balanced, not bug filled game into play too.
I vote a total yes for it. Even now the game is different and almost dead, but it is STILL one of the best games ever made.
I got a chance to take part in the Bunty Hunting action when the game was first released. The amount of balance this brought to the classes was fantastic. Im not sure theres anything more thrilling then being able to take away xp from another player thats desperatly trying to scrape up xp by killing unarmed meat lumps and such.
I agree with your ideas buckshot , i too am a SWG vet from the Lowca server they completely ruined the game with the CU if SWG made a new game exactly like Pre-CU i would but it in a heartbeat no joke. Pre-CU this game was the best game i have ever played in my entire life.
I really would love to see a SWG 2, afcourse new graphic engine but pre-cu crafting was my best experiance ever in a mmorpg especialy the depth in crafting, when doc. i loved competing against other docs with who would make the best buffs, patients was required cause some resources you had to wait for day's/weeks some even months, but you had so many choises in what to craft as a doc or even a medic had some fine skills, well actualy most proffesions pre-cu where great ...buggy..still great compared most mmorpg's i tried after.....oh my day's as a DE, Doc, medic, Ranger, Scout,TKA, CH, BE the Ahazi server almost became my second home, made lots of friends but lost many aswell ..thanks to SOE !!!! as most of them didn't return back to the mmorpg scene or movedonto other hobby's.
Easy fix just a SWG classic server with all updates up to the CU. SOE would get alot of players back and making such a server would not be hard for them to do at all!!!!!!!!!!
Yea lol do you even relize what would happen is SOE did that? Everyone that played would join the classic server!! And then it would be flooded lol with lots of lag. But ever day i miss the lag in coronet and theed and on dant. When i went back to play the game and re-activated my account when i was walking around coronet i was lucky to see 2 people in the same spot.
Yet another of my polls is reaching the stratus of 200 voters. Which can only mean one thing! Statistic count and discussion! 69.2% of our beloved Star Wars Galaxies fans have rang in supporting the notion of Star Wars Galaxies 2 to become reality. 15.6% voted to not support and 15.1% voted undecided. While the supporting voters percentage has droped some what since the begining of this poll the almost 70% still represents a good idea of what type of fan base a Star Wars Galaxies 2 can deliver. Adding the 15% of undecides to are 70% gives us 84.2% that would more then likely make SWG2 a sucess.
There was always alot of discussion on everyone enjoying the PvP when SWG was still a hit. I think some xtra PvP content would be only right for a SWG2.
So I was browsing around the forums today and came across a few other SWG2 thread's. I hadn't seen any other threads or topics other then this one up untill today. Aparently there was a thread started Feburary of this year that had the same topic SWG2. There must be more Star Wars fans out there then I once had thought wanting a SWG2.
At the risk of being attack and Flamed have you ever thought of getting CCP and Bioware to do it. Bioware did a AWESOME job with KOTOR and CCP has done a great job with Eve. If they follow through with what they want for Revations would that Backend not work? With additions and of course the Star Wars look, feel and skin's.
Everyone break out the coolade and hi-c cuz my second thread I ever posted here at mmorpg is heading to 2000 views! Thanks for all the replies. Continue to harass the oblivion about makeing us a SWG2.
I don't understand some of you, this is like let's make the impossible possible. SOE won't give up their licsences unless LucasArts revokes it(which might happen pretty damn soon), If SOE did design a SWG2 who the hell would go to it? It's like if I punched you in the face, then when you got up I said I wouldn't do it again, then just punch you in the face again. They will ruin the game just like they did with the first one. The only reason I can come up that anyone would want such a thing is that SOE has brain washed the lot of you. Instead of giving your money to a company that will bring you nothing new and low development, give your money to me. At least then it'll be spent properly on hookers and booze. Blah I'm out.
[[ DEAD ]] - Funny - I deleted my account on the site using the cancel account button. Forum user is separate and still exists with no way of deleting it. Delete it admins. Do it, this ends now.
I voted undecided, because none of those options fit me. I would support a SWG2, but it would depend on how they developed it and what the future plans for the game would be. I could care less who runs it though.

MMORPG's w/ Max level characters: DAoC, SWG, & WoW
Currently Playing: WAR Preferred Playstyle: Roleplay/adventurous, in a sandbox game.
I don't think they could make another Star Wars MMO without slightly modeling it after the current SWG, and I don't want to play anything slightly resembling it anymore because they'd ruin it again.
I think they need a player run SWG game, where we make decisions rather than corporations and developers. Then we shall reign.
I am hoping they pick a time after Return of the Jedi, this time and have a more active crime base, jedi from the go ( as protectors of the peace and a damn hard system ) and the fragments of the empire. With alternative classes that will make people not just want jedi a craft base that need active crafters I could go on but you get the idea... hopefully
In another thread I found was some great shots of pre-cu. There over at http://www.swgpics.com/gallery/. I never took any screenshots back when I was playing my Swordsman at the release of SWG altho I wish I would have. As many times as I went to get buffed at coronet with 100s of people standing in line would have made for some good ones.
The Medic/combat medic/doctor professions played a vital role in the economy and stability of the intital SWG. With these professions it brought all kinds of aspects onto the already full table. These professions with added content would be fantastic in a SWG2.
I would only go back if they revert to the OLD system of class/professions. Where you can mix and match your skill points and what not. That is what made SWG so different from other games and made it so much fun. You can change through out the game and you can have fun doing it. Also they need to go back to the older combat system they had before the CU-upgrade when I closed my account. I would love to see a new SWG... hell make it REAL TIME COMBAT Kind of like in Age of Conan.. that would be awsome.

Let SOE rot in the deppest pit of hell with 100 clones of richard simmons!! a fitting end.....
