Star Wars Galaxies: New Game Experience Articles

MMORPG.com is offering up three separate articles that take a closer look at the "New Game Experience" rollout for Star Wars Galaxies. Included in their coverage is a full review, an editorial entitled "Fixing The Game: Whether You Like It or Not!", and an interview with LucasArts' Casey Keefe. A snip from the Q&A:
Q: Are you worried about alienating the base that has made SWG a success to date? What do you say to those who feel betrayed?

A: That's always a risk with the advancement of any game, whether it be taking an MMO in a new direction or releasing a completely new sequel. However, we have had multiple members of the existing player base, both casual and hardcore alike, come out in support of the new direction of the game who are really enjoying it.

To those that feel (betrayed) we understand their frustration, but really think they are missing out on a great Star Wars experience by not continuing to play the game with its new direction. I would suggest they give it a real honest try, if they do not like it after that then at least they have given it a fair shake, but don't cast it off automatically just because it is something new.
