Will likely reach box-office break-even followed by a quick to DVD with booming sales and another surge in original series DVD sales.

The others have I'd say a 60-80% chance of being made, and a 40-60% chance of a renewed series contract (maybe even outside of FOX one would hope)...

I'm just hoping that a MMORPG gets in the works...

I don't know if it's hearsay or a quote, but I've heard that Joss said he wouldn't go back to the series with Fox because they screwed him over..

Anyway, here's hoping DVD sales warrants something, even a sci-fi two parter/straight to DVD special would be very welcome .

As for an MMO, I'd settle for an RPG (I keep meaning to get to work on a HL2 mod and make a Vampire Masquerade style RPG for it.. but I need more practice with the Source engine first )

Joss knows how to deal with the networks... and it wouldn't surprise me a bit if that's a quote. But it also wouldn't surprise me a bit if it was a quote made to make a new deal with FOX or any network a slightly more valuable one.

Seth did the same with Family Guy and it worked to his advantage quite well.

A non-MMO would be great as well... I just hope that the makers of this hopeful-game come here and read all the good ideas of what smuggling in a game could be.



Account cancelled again. Fix this flippin game. GCW, Smugglers, Player economy, enjoyable content and all bugs over 3 months old must be repaired before this game is worth the subscription. Get it, got it, done.

QFE : RocketDSM on the subject of the creation of a Non-Jedi Server
As for the argument of "The Jedi are bored, give them content and they'll go away." I actually do agree with you. However, there are two major problems to this argument. First, it would take a lot more coding time than just disabling the Old Man on one server. Second, all that time that would be devoted to a SINGLE PROFESSION is not being devoted to fixing bugs, adding general content, or making new expansions for the rest of the game population. So this is a classic problem of the needs of a few over the needs of the many. I can name seven professions that serve little to no purpose right now. You want more work done on one that's already absorbed an estimated 75% of the coding time for the past year. In my opinion, it's time to get the Jedi off the nipple and give the general population their turn.
