Thread: The Jedi as starter profession debate has been around since before beta...

Shug Ninx, the LucasArts Content Supervisor, has also been spotted on the forums and he has written a huge reply to a thread by Bajeezus entitled "What price rarity?", the link is in the title if you want to read the original thread. Shug decided to open up a new thread for his reply. Here's an excerpt from what he had to say:


3) Are Jedi too rare? Not rare enough? Again, this is something that will really come out in Beta, but it's currently the one thing that keeps me up at night... There will, without a doubt, be people who buy this game because they want to become Jedi and the fact that those players can't choose a "Jedi" class out of the box is worrisome to me. I never really think "Gee, I hope we're not making Jedi too common" (although Raph probably does), but the thought that we're making them too rare makes my stomach tie itself into knots.

While we may not see Jedi as starter this year, I believe that within the next 12 months the economics of potential for big $$$ from returnees/new subs verses lost customers will make it reality.

Over a year prior to beta I believe. And that is the point. The Devs/SOE/LA have been discussing this for a long time.

If this game goes to Lucas Arts it will be true. And, form Starter Kit being Lucas Arts only. Boot to SOE Jedi will be starting profession.

I noticed that also, why is SOE not mentioned on the cover of the box???? Is that the reason why SOE is keeping their lips tight???? Is this the beginning of a takeover????
