Star Wars Galaxies: Gardens, gardeners and greenhouses

SOE is on a roll. After giving the Entertainers some love, the Star Wars Galaxies development team, headed by Helios_SOE, dished out fresh concepts for a new set of Gardening and Exterior Design expertises. These skills are said to allow players to buy deeds for outdoor plots or greenhouses, and grow various plants (green thumb not included). Decorating the outdoor plot with player craftable outdoor garden decorations is just one of the many possibilities (can you say Animal Crossing?).

The fun doesn’t stop there as the devs are considering putting a Gardening system in place. This would be something that will be much appreciated by Gardeners who would then be able to collect both common and rare plant seeds. These seeds can be cultivated into living plants that have to be watered and fed and be taken care of when they catch illnesses. How Tamagotchi-like, but we’re still listening.

You might think that this plant business might be a little out of place. Well, think again, because these living plants can be “cross pollinated with each other to create new species of plants that canÂ’t be attained through normal seeds”.  What this tells us is that these plants can be used to create buff and healing items for players or pets. It can even be an antidote to poison! Sweet!

But before you do the dance of joy, be reminded that these are all concepts that have no guarantee of getting implemented. They’re simply posted in the SWG forum as a way for the dev team to get as much comments and suggestions as they could gather. If they feel that majority of the community likes the idea, then perhaps your dream garden will materialize right before your eyes. Bring out the shovels!
