Didn't SWG2 already come out and it is what is up now and maybe you mean SWG3?

Or how about Star Wars Online Galaxie of Jedi GoJ ans GoSith By NC Soft?

1) Not published by SOE (or EA)

2) Not designed by LA

3) Not be a dumbed down version of the original like EQ2 was to EQ1 (if that's even possible considering what they have already done to SWG)

Morning 'Guys'.

I have spoken to a few people and they said that a SWG-2 is coming out, but cannot find anything to do with it... Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Not to flame or talk smack about anyone here or anything but...people are asking about a swg 2?

Although it sounds interesting and I know Ive probably asked a few times myself but come to think of it...why would anyone in thier right mind want to play a SWG 2?

Was it the 3 combat upgrades that turned out to be downgrades that ran people off? The bugs..server lag, bad customer support or the forum and game banns we all got from part one that wasnt enough that we want to have it all happen again with a new one?  LOL! We like to torture ourselves it seems :/

Sorry just a paranoid thought. I'd actually try part 2 if it came out and was developed by someone else.

Hoping for a KOTOR 3 from BIOWARE more though.

Couldn't make you a clicky but here is the article that confirms (?) there will be a SWG in the next 2-3 years. The info is about half way through the article. You should read it all, though, it has some good stuff.

if i remember correctly, Mrs. Nancy McIntyre was the one who alluded to a possible SWG2 down the road.  please keep in mind that this is the same woman who uttered what my be the most ignorant, clueless statement about online gaming to ever be verbalized.  the whole thing about too much reading and players wanting what they see in the movies, not what they create themselves. 

 if she had been talking about console games, i may have been able to stomach such a comment, but the fact that she was referring to MMORPG's and specifically SWG is just embarrassing.  the players on the official forums will never let her live that one down...lol.

as to the topic, we are all waiting for a new SWG, i believe it will do very well as long as its not run by SOE and has gameplay styles closer to preCU than to NGE.

I started out with a character that I setup to help the guild, back when setting up harvesters and visiting spots meant walking/running there. 30 minute runs while a wookie outdistanced my midget Rhodie toon left me with all kinds of creative Wookie insults. It was a major chore to get to some spots; and large scale harvesting was a pain. Then we got mounts, and it was easy to get to the far corners of the map; harvesting became easy; since finding the spots to drop the harvesters took so much less time. Speeders made it even faster.. and it got dumbed down even further. Less effort to get anywhere.

They mentioned we needed to go through professions to unlock the force sensitive slot; but the grind through professions bored me to death - and felt way too much like a second job. And the joy of joys was finding out that even when I'd helped get my brother's account through all the professions that he didn't unlock. (Had to wait for the update that dealt with not unlocking after 31 professions were mastered)

And the whole time we're playing, they're boosting the abilities of one profession - and when it's proven to be the best for PVE or PVP, they go and nerf that profession. I still enjoy my one moment of PVP greatness as a Combat Medic with overpowered poisons. Blooming Rebel Scum were exploiting a bug and shooting us from underneath the inside of the building they were in.. and managed to kill my whole group before I could get close enough to help heal our group. So I was able to walk up to the scum sucking Rebels out front that were bragging about how great they were.. and nail the loudest mouth with a poison that his buddies couldn't heal. I got my free ride back to town with the rest of my party - after watching the loud mouthed Rebel Scum be killed by my poison, even after I'd been deathblowed. I just wish I'd had my high powered area poisons handy.. then I could have taken out all 3 of the loudmouths out front.. :) Soon thereafter, those abilities were nerfed. *sniff*

I'm with most of the rest of the posters here.. the dumbing down of the game and the many moves that SOE made to eliminate social aspects made the game feel too much like monotonous work. The whole.. learn how to use your character and a couple weeks later have everything nerfed makes it extremely unlikely that I'd check in to a SWG2 run by the same folks that made the first one so easy to give up.

i agree

WAIT WAIT WAIT you have to pay REAL MONEY for like everyting u buy in the game that is LOKO I'm not buying it and neither should you guys why spend it for $100 for a fake virtual thing when you can buy a real gun for $700 lol or more or less.  My personal feeling is either make KOTOR Online, Improve SWG as it is now, or make SWG2 like p2p but not in a weird way pay per month dont pay for stuff in the game thats CRAZY.  I am not buying that game and neither should you guys or else every game will be like that and thats not cool.  Money is the core of evil  well some ppl think lol.  L.A. I really hope that doesnt happen I will be soo upset.  If this does happen I might as well and rather play the crappy,SOE owned, SWG then SWG2 "pay for everythign you see that is virtual and not real".  They should just rip up SWG and take 1 year to fix it how it was and add some cool stuff OR make SWG2 involving episodes 1 2 3 but NO PAYING FOR POINTLESS NON REAL ITEMS that makes me sooo pissed off.

P.S. If that happens I'm not buying any of the L.A. products what so ever.  BOYCOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S.S.  What would SWG2 be about?

tough then, i guess you won't be playing it if it is indeed being designed ... o well, one less idiot i have to worry about running into in the game ..

---

so your saying you cross many idiots in game??

must be fun to play  /endsarcasm

No, i was being sarcastic. Everyone seems to be obsessed with flaming the whole time, as if their flaming is really gonna matter, they have not even started working on SWG 2 ( or maybe they have ... ) and people are already flaming it without knowing anything about it. With that attitude i would rather not have people like that ingame, even tho they would probly be the first to buy the game, it ussualy works that way.

( and no i don't meet many idiots ingame, swg online community is great, unlike WoW, blizzard has the worse community ever, the worse..... )
