Raph Koster On Star Wars Galaxies

Posted by simoniker on from the kooky-wookies-and-wifi-jawas dept.

Thanks to UGO.com for their interview with Raph Koster, creative director of Star Wars Galaxies, discussing the launch period for the much-discussed PC MMORPG. He suggests that: "The launch was a little rockier than we'd like, so we've tried to be really proactive.... We're making a real concerted effort to constantly improve the game", and talks about new features: "Another big thing that's going in is gambling. So we're working up to Sabbac [the game in which Han Solo wins the Millenium Falcon from Lando]... We're gonna be adding slot machines and roulette." Also touched on are the mission diversity complaints: "The missions were never intended to be rich and complex and deep... they're intended to only take a little while, not be incredibly complex. But, of course, players have found them to be a great way of making money."

    Sometimes trolls are disturbingly intuitive.

    Yes, I do have gender-assignment issues, and I am homosexual. Well, bisexual, really, but that's not germane to this issue.

    As far arse-licking, I suggest that you try it before you condemn it. It is pleasurable both as the recipient and the giver, providing that the anus is clean, unless you are into scat, which I understand that Anonymous Cowards frequently are(quite inexplicably, to my mind).

    Oh, and for the vomiting, I recommend Pepto-Bismol, but you might want to consult your physician, as IANAD.

    SWG is evil! I am so addicted to it right now it's not funny. It's like bad crack, it makes you really sick and puke but you can't stop using it!

    (note: I've never done crack, this was the only analogy I could come up with)

    SWG is a sweet game with tons of stuff to do. I couldn't get into any other MMORPG's (I played EQ, beta tested Neocron and Earth & Beyond), but SWG has got me hooked. If anyone is interested in getting into SWG, be forwarned. It's buggy. To the point of cussing up a storm and breaking stuff (at least for me). But it's a blast, and I can't stop playing it.
