Sony and LucasArts are planning some major changes to their mmorpg Star Wars Galaxies. Right now, Star Wars Galaxies is facing some rather annoying gameplay issues that require attention, or it will risk losing appeal. Some of the current playerbase may not be too happy with the upcoming updates, however, commercially these updates may be imperative.
IGN has more:
“Instead of a slow role-playing experience SOE is implementing a slimmed down interface with a Diablo-style action RPG at the core. Gameplay will now be directed by story elements and quest cut together with cinematic scenes allowing players a closer attachment to their characters. In one of the other big moves, the game is moving from the 34 class mosh pit of skills down to a focused 9 iconic classes. ”
