I'd like to see a "day in the office" feature. Gives us guys/gals an idea of some things that go on in the game development side of the industry.


Something like...get someone to follow Q around for one day and just take general snapshots of things going on like the morning meeting, checking the server room, Thunderheart bouncing off the walls from too much caffiene, etc...

I know a lot of devs have had this done already, but dev bios were kewl. Im sure we got a lot of new talent back there *cough* that could use some bio stories

Maybe it would be interesting if you could give us a statistic of how many players have chosen which profession on each server.


Well I am curious about that

I think one thing that's been missing from SWG is story content. OK, so If I take out a Swoop, I loose FPs with them and gain with Desert Demons.... but who are these people?? (ok, i'm not a SW idiot... I know who those are ... but there are MANY factions in SWG that I don't know )


Would role-players perfer to attack or not attack Rorgungans? Liberation League? Certain rebel factions? I personally decided to NOT attack certain groups because of role-playing, but the only insight we have into their stories is the occasional blurp on the "loading" screen.


I'd like to see a list of these MANY groups, and what each is... where they came from... what's their purpose... how did they get where they are now.... how did the Emperor taking power affect them... should I fight for or against that faction or leave that battle between the opposing groups.. etc. Remember too that not everyone wants to dig in the Expanded Universe to find references to this info.

I'd like to see a feature on how the space expansion is coming along, and I'd also like to see an official thread dedicated to what we want to see in the expansion.

Honestly, for right now, I'd be happy if the Friday Feature was a focus on a single broken or unbalanced profession, which included fixes for that profession. Once the game is balanced and running without too many bugs, then I'd love to see how you did it.

There are few things you can post, for everything else, there's a CSR waiting.

I think it would be fun if one of the Devs followed a player or group of players around for an hour or two taking pictures. Then present pics with captions as storyboard in friday feature.
