 Isn't The Repopulation being made by ex-SWG devs? Also this is another shameless plug for The Repopulation since it sounds really great in concept. I'm hoping it lives up to it's promises because it could be great in the way SWG was pre-NGE for it's sandbox qualities. SWG's setting in the timeline sucked though; it could have been so much better had SWG been set in an earlier era like SWTOR or been set to take place after RotJ.

Err that's a big fat no to the devs ever working on SWG saying that though there is a big influence on Repop,but regarding engines Hero is very capable but it is still in constant development  Hero devs next goal in development I think is codename Sapphire which I would assume will be the most stable release according to Idea Fabriks website.

Repop is the closest we are gonna get to swg2

I dont think those devs realize the zerg thats gonna hit their game on launch

Soe has clearly stated it will only focus on inhouse brands for the near future

Until they partnered with ProSieben, who now seem to be pulling their strings like LA did

Also LA said they are not going to be dealing with 3rd party devs either, with Bioware being the last.

If there is going to be another SW MMO it will be by LA themselves ...  unless they change their stance too

It won't be as big as you think, but then admittedly thats my opinion and you have yours time will tell.

Op the short and simple answer to your thread question is, No.

Overall i'd say Star War is a dying IP. Most gamers these days weren't even born yet when Star Wars came out.

What has been done recently to increase its fan base? The clone wars cartoon? :P

Just the Original Trilogy is enough.

My nephew and niece watched it, aged 5 and 6, a few years ago, and now avid fans of it, who do not shut about it. I had no influence in their decison! :P

Another 10 years and they will be able to play and pay for MMOs. It will be a shame if there is no SW MMO around then

I think everything said by any of these companies should have "for now" appended to it. You never really know what they're going to decide in the future, and it doesn't make sense to stick to past decisions when current events dictate that you do something different "right now".

However, I don't see a new SW mmorpg being made anytime soon, and I especially don't see a remake of SWG getting made, ever.

 

Who says anything about about a remake? Is GW2 the same as GW1?  Is EQ2 the same as EQ1? Is FF XIV the same as FF XI?

Dying IP? Really? I'm guessing you don't have Kids...

personally ANY sci-fi game with SWG NGE futures will do the trick for me

what i was exiting was the housing system. so rich so huge so versatile

Repopulation doesnt seems to have housing close to SWG. I want to make wrong but i dotn think so.

You will get EQNext. That is the next SWG.

I highly doubt they will try to obtain the Star Wars license again. They can make their money on their own IPs.

SOE = freemium

that mean SWG 2 = freemium, cash shop and plex like gold selling

That would make SWG 2 totally poinless and not worth looking for me.

Now for the bigger Star Wars news.

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2012/10/30/disney-buying-tar-wars-maker-lucasfilm-for-405b/?intcmp=features

Now that Dinsey has bought all of Lucasfilm Ltd., all the sub units of Lucasfilm plus all rights to Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises as of today.

It just may be possible that we could see an SWG2 mmo if people let Dinsey know that they want it to tie in with the Star Wars Episode 7 (release 2015, 8 & 9 (2 to 3 years apart).

So we need to wait and see what Dinsey does with it.

One thing I hope to see is Dinsey close down SWTOR and take the rights back from EA.

SWG was dying a long time before SWTOR released due to the way it was handled by SOE.

 

I do not agree.  The servers had a healthy population after the last server merges. It seemed that all of us "die hard" SWG fans were never going to give up on it. And, the devs in the last 3 years were amazing considering they were only a skeleton crew that remained.

They took the turd, that was NGE, and turned it into a really good Star Wars MMO.

Interesting bit of news I've come across only as a rumor BUT, got a friend who still occasionly plays TOR In their guild 2 of their members work on the Bioware staff, they have come out and basically said, and this is a rumor they heard if TOR doesn't meet the F2P expectations EA is expecting Lucasarts will be licensing SOE again to continue development on the now canceled Star Wars Galaxies 2, so in hearing that come directly from people inside BW there may be a chance to see a SWG2 on the horizon . I don't know if I should rejoice or be cautious.

If I knew that SWG2 was even a remote chance, I would delete all my SWTOR toons and never touch it again.
