News Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 The rumor? Sony Online Entertainment has once again partnered up with LucasArts to develop a browser-based Star Wars MMO set in the Clone Wars period. Sony would use the browser-based engine used to power free-to-play MMO Free Realms to develop the game and it would be aimed at a casual audience based on [...] Read the full story at starwarsmmo.net...

Jeff Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Moved this one to off-topic since it's not related to TOR, but was still relevant to post on the site. What do you guys think of more Clone Wars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I ignore everything that is Clone Wars these days. It's aimed at a younger audience (the audience watching the animated series), so it wasn't going to be my cup of tea anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I don't see why I wouldn't **** around with it considering its free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Rider Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 WAT....Why on Earth would LucasArts make two MMOs at the same time? Divide and conquer is a strategy used AGAINST a competitor, not by yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 WAT....Why on Earth would LucasArts make two MMOs at the same time? Divide and conquer is a strategy used AGAINST a competitor, not by yourself.I don't really think the audiences for TOR and a game like this are the same. With a browser based MMO, the playerbase are going to be casual and probably younger considering it will be based on the Clone Wars TV show.

adamqd Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Have you ever thought something is so terribly crap, over done, and a hindrance to it's franchise... Yet it keeps returning like its a good thing or something?? I'm so sick of seeing this damn Cartoon network "hey kids it's Barney and Ahsoka' fun-day Disney Playground show!! This week because (as we keep saying) George is on board, we thought we'd retcon a few more books characters and storyline's for ya :)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purifier Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 "Free-to-play" huh, well that's enough to get my attention. All though I'm no big fan of the Clone Wars, I think I'll just give it a shot and at the same time maybe increase my MMO experiance too. Who knows, could be fun.

darthfergie Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 If they make it, it's gonna be all about the kiddies. All of the kids that I coach absolutely love the clone wars and when I talk about the awesomeness of the Original Trilogy many of them have never even seen it. It really makes me sad. These kids are being raised on sugary delights of clone wars instead of the meat of the OT. No children, Anakin is NOT cooler than Han Solo...who is Han Solo?!?! You know the guy who flies the Millennium Falcon. What's the Falcon?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandalore The Shadow Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I have not been impressed with the clone wars recently it is aimed at way too young an audiance and I would much rather see an original trilogy related MMO but it is free so I guess I'll check it out.

Tommycat Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 if it weren't for the free part, I probably wouldn't give it a second glance... Clone Wars... Can't think of anything that makes older SW fans want to tear their hair out more... MAYBE Midichlorians... SOE... um doesn't exactly have a stellar reputation within the MMO community... Can't think of a developer that makes MMO fans cringe more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I don't see why I wouldn't **** around with it considering its free. Maverick is, as always, stunnifyingly correct. And even if it ends up more boring than it should, we can probably close some pools with some /b/lackup. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spadille Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I hope they are making it, even if it ends up as a tragidy. Then LucasArts can figure out that it's not very good working with Sony... And if it becomes a sucess, Hooray for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Since it's free, I'll have a look, though honestly, I don't see how they can make any sort of Star Wars RPG set during the movies. And yes, I am aware of Galaxies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's aimed at a younger audience (the audience watching the animated series), so it wasn't going to be my cup of tea anyway. Don't be so quick- the newer episodes are much more what we, as Star Wars fans, and not 5-year-olds, are used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthfergie Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I doubt it'll be the kids title. From what Kotaku was saying it'll be Star Wars: Legends and it'll be rated M in australia. I doubt a kids title would be rated M. (EDIT - Woops. Look before you leap. Just noticed Kaine's post was a link and not just text) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
