SWG: 2006 is one helluva good year
The holidays are one of the happiest times of the year. It’s that time wherein you’ll have a break from school or work and just lounge around the house with family and friends to relax…unless you’re the designated cook or dishwasher, then you’ve got a lot of work on your hands.
It’s also a good time to catch up on gaming. Some of you probably have a next-gen console or a handheld lying around the house and you’ll always have your MMORPGs to tinker with. The problem with MMOs is that holidays also mean weak update schedules because everyone is on vacation and server populations are really busy among other things. But if you’re playing Star Wars Galaxies, then you don’t have to experience all those hassles.
According to Site Manager for Star Wars Galaxies Rachel Langdon “the developers have done an excellent job providing new chapters, bug fixes and updates throughout the fall season. These updates have included new expertise systems for most classes, fixing up some of the legacy quests and providing an overall better experience, certainly when compared to the game just before the launch of the “Chapter” system.”
And since Christmas is a time to be honest about your mistakes and to learn from them, Rachel shares this tidbit:
While the developers have admitted that the NGE was a bad move for the most part they are starting to right their wrongs and previous players are starting to return to the game. While some of the removed features such as Beast Mastery and Pets may not return any time soon at least SOE is making an effort to reintroduce these concepts. I’d say that within a years time that Galaxies will no longer be a grinders game and that the recent trend of new players, returning players and trial accounts will only continue to increase.
Indeed, optimism is a good way to start the year. One could only hope that this positive kind of thinking could spread like a brush fire.
