The Mystery Of Star Wars Galaxies

Tim Burke writes "I've got a piece up on my website that acts as a form of independent postmortem for Star Wars Galaxies, discussing my initial impressions and lasting conclusions on the PC MMORPG." Burke argues cogently enough that SWG lead designer Raph Koster comments that it's a "good essay" over at GameGirl Advance, despite direct criticism of his team as having a "prevailing assumption... that players make content, not designers", and the suggestion that Koster is "muleheaded" about "the importance of creating a sense of achievement in a persistent world entirely through barriers of time and repetition."

Look I was in the SWG beta and didn't like it enough to buy it after release but, I got over it. Why is it Slashdot gets to be used as another whine board for SWG bashers ? No other game is treated like this on this site. It sounds you have personal issues over this game and are making the rest of us pay for it. Please take your pain back to the SWG boards where it belongs and get back to reporting real news. Nobody cares or if they do they are already on board the bash SWG train. It's really very simple. If you dont like a game don't play it. This continued use of Slashdot to bash SWG and Sony is making you look bad and hurting the reputation of this board.
