After reading all that one can become alarmed and shocked, but you don't have to be worried, Sony Online Entertainment and LucasArts Entertainment are great companyes, SOE is a veteran in the MMORPG's and surely will fix all making these new changes to being alike to all the veteran players or new ones that they want to attracto to the game. Or perhaps they dont make that, because as I have said in the past, noone can live forever of the fame or for it's name, and seems that SOE it's abusing of his well earned credit with tittles like Everquest.
An arriving to this point is were the speculation get stronger and you can start thinking very bad. The game has been modified so now is more eassy and simple, more basic, less professions, less customization, less diversity, a starting zone very inmersive and spectacular. But all that for what? To get new clientes that are new to play in MMORPG's, but if the game it's actually a little old, and has the luck of count on a very faithful veteran fan base, wich one could be the reason?
Is in that moment when one can give credit to the rumours, more and more persistents that circulate in the Net, but, careful, rumours have to be undestood as what they are, things that could have something true or being completely false. But in this case in particular all points to a new strategy of Sony to left progressively the PC market to focus on the great pylon of ore that would be the new PlayStation 3. And if we follow that argumentation, there are lots of voices that claim that thse ilogical changes that goes agains the veteran players are focused to prepare a future launch of Star Wars Galaxies in PlayStation 3, but we repeat all of this are only rumours, time will tell if they are truth or false.
That rumour could be shocking for more of one reader but if we check the market projections and specially the analysis of the growing conflict of the consoles of new generation: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Revolution, the two first with MMORPG's in development and with full support to this kind of games, its clear that if we calculate: Number of actual users of PS2 = Number of possible players of a MMORPG, sum the monthly fee, and you will get a really asombrous numbers that makes a minor lost make angry 50.000 veteran players of a game.
Be as it is, I hope that finally all this will result just a product of the alarmism and chaos that domines know the galaxy and this article will be anecdotic and all the changes could make ever better Star Wars Galaxies. But the shadows of the doubts are strong and it's hard for us to eliminate them becose it has been killed an important part of the Star Wars Galaxies soul, and worst, it has been ignored one of the most loyal player communities in this genere, that has resisted with courage every abrupt change after change and have given it's support to the game. This article is dedicated to all them to reflect that the press media is in your side too and we will fight to protect the rights of the players always and remember to the companys that they have to hear allways to their clients if they want to keep their loyalty and money of course.
