i'm not in beta so i don't now much about JTL so here is my question, once it comes out what will the point of the ground game be?

my worry is that everyone will be off in space and the planets will be empty, the cantinas will go silint and the starports will be empty.


what is there to keep players on the ground? if everyone goes in to space there wil be no need to WS or AS or chef any more, just DE and shipwright.

is this the case, or will there still be good reason to stay on the ground?

thanks for any info

Ayami - MCH since september '03 and until NGE.
The removal of CH and the NGE in general is the dumbest thing a company has ever done. period.
CH deserves to stay, and SOE deserves to be *#&$^#*@ until they are #*&$& and then *#&$ some more!
LONG LIVE THE CREATURE HANDLERS!!!

- I support a rollback and keeping & balancing the old combat system.
...and making SWG a better place to be.

Oh don't worry man.


The ground game will still continue to be strong. In fact I think that being able to alternate between space and ground will be refreshing for people and may actually cause more ground interest, especially for returning and new players.


Obviously there will be a big swell to get out in space early on, but it will settle into a nice equilibrium I think. Especially since the devs will start paying attention to the ground again after JTL ships. Last couple of months it's been all hands on deck to get JTL done. Now that it's just about done, we'll see action on the ground and probably some content to tie the ground and space together, such as missions and storylines that involve doing things in both.

You get a lot of wounds and battlefatigue in space if you go boom..so if there are people manning the cantinas and hospitials they'll be packed. I can forsee Shipwrights selling in the streets near the Starports also for a bit.
