SWG will allow for unlimited alts per server in the near future. It's likely that player cities will remain capped and something will be done to move the masses into the NonPlayCities where they'll be able to _rent_ a room for a small fee.


So...don't worry if you haven't unlocked or if you want an extra character to play as a trader or another class.


What's striking is this game will be FREE!!! They will generate revenue by allowing for a free subscription then encourage sale of items, characters and even levels while SOE will skim a small portion off the top of the transaction.


This game is going to get huge. We've seen nothing. All those who have played it for this long should actually be glad to have been a part of the orignial rpg build for StarWars Galaxies, I am.

So is Diablo 1 & 2 as well as Anarcy Online (yet you can pay for the expansions).


Diablo2 and GuildWars both have heathly item sales. SWG is heading this route.

If players are willing to buy and sell virtual itums through SOE. If they do then your right, this game is going to get huge extremely fast. and if its going to the PS3 as a first year release, the gaming community can deffiently expect to see a quality game come out of this. Console gamers arn't like MMO gamers in any sence. MMO gamers latch onto one game and beat it into the dirt. Console gamers attention span doesn't last 5 minutes in a poorly built game. If LA and SOE are putting their all into this plan this incarnation of SWG is going to be one of the greatest games to hit the market next year. And free on top of that. to be a part of this games development as a old school player will either make me proud or ashamed. it depends on how well this goes over.

It's not going to be free . It will free to dl and play the first 10 levels ...the so called newbie area.


After that you must purchace the game to move out of the newbie area and play the game .

You will purchase the core of the software for 15-18 USD and have unlimited access to the first 30 levels of content. Once you want to move beyond that you will likely be required to purchase an upgrade which still has no monthly costs.


There will also be the abliity to purchase character enhancements which will auto-level your character.


This is really going to take off and it's truely a great busniess decision. Even though I feel SOE sucks and they are a terrible compny this direction is a no brainer to generate and increase their cash flow.
