The truth is, this game is so far from release there is no way to say what it will or will not eventually be. Everything can be changed, this far out. Right now, the Repop is nothing, it does not exist beyond a demo and some ideas.

If this game is ever released at all. It is not funded, remember.

And no one can say that is not the way it is.

Anyone who says different is selling something.

I suppose you could apply some of that to any game that is not released. It has been alpha testing since June though, so I suppose it exists beyond a demo. The game is a late 2013 release, so it's not THAT far off.

kind of a silly question. i doubt they set out to make a game that is like SWG. while it sounds like it has some similarities, i doubt you are going to get very many people saying yes, because i doubt they set out to make swg2.

It's so damn similar I got the willies.  Can't wait, really looking forward to giving this a whirl

Yes

judging by the info the dev release on the forum

if we are lucky enough, Q1 / Q2 of 2013 for Beta, then maybe Q3 2013 release ( hopefully )

but again, it has been said, it's going to be released when its ready

Talk about the worst pvp system ever. "Flag yourself"? Being able to control when and if you can be attacked is too "Hello kitty island adventure" for anybody with a backbone in gaming.

It worked fine, especially with scanners to unmask your allegiance and faction-sensitive mine fields. Sign up with either side and you were never in real control.

That plus the "crackdown" troops walking the streets and the ones walking into cantinas could flag someone as an "overt" member of one faction or the other.

Frankly, open, non-consensual PvP in a game with heavy crafting is not a good thing, especially when there are dedicated non-combat classes that do the crafting.

Personally, I think SWG had the right balance for that.

Might be easier to answer if you put a check list of what SWG was to you.  Can't answer this as a yes or no because it's not exactly cloning SWG.

Is it a SCI-FI MMO? Yes

Does it have a skills system? Yes, even more so than SWG with more skills. We even train how much it hurts to fall down LOL.

Is gear dependent on dedicated and trained crafters, resource quality and complex crafting system? Yes

Player driven economy? Yes

Player built cities and housing with full customization and deco? Yes

Nonlinear progression? Yes

Is that enough for you? Just ask and we'll provide an answer be it right or wrong for you.
