DarkLord14 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 In this game is the gameplay like a freeroaming game or is it mission based. And do you fight in ths game? Is it realtime or turnbased? Thanks for all replies. Sorry for the newbie question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thew Rydur Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Hmmm lets see here: The game is free roaming, so you can do what you like. You can however take on missions assigned to you by NPC's or terminals. (I'm pretty sure player assigned missions have been taken out for release) Yes there is fighting, and its kind of a turn-based/ real time hybrid. You pick your actions/moves/skills, they are lined up, and your character performs them in real time. And don't worry there are no newbie questions... just newbs.

DarkLord14 Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 Hey thanks I have a few more questions. I know this game is only online andhow much will it cost to play online? Do they go by hourly? monthly? yearly? Also let's say you you go to Datooine. Will eeryone else playing be in Datooin and cn you walk up to them and talk to thm? Is this going to be just one big room with everyone playing or do you choose different rooms to join? How do you die in this game? Can you just walk up to anyone and start battling them? Can there be like a huge war? Thank you for answering my Questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 My. God. That was a lot of questions. I'll do my best. I know this game is only online andhow much will it cost to play online? Answer is: noone knows. A sure, but cowardly, bet is between 10 and 20 bucks. Per month. Do they go by hourly? monthly? yearly? Montly. But, all mmorpgs that I know of has an offer to pay for longer durations, like 3 and 6 months, which are a bit cheaper per month than paying every month. Also let's say you you go to Datooine. Will eeryone else playing be in Datooin and cn you walk up to them and talk to thm? eh.... this is where the entire concept of "massive multiplayer" introduces itself. Well, you have a server. Actually, you have several. Each server is a complete version of the game, and has all planets etc on it. You start your SWG experience by chosing which server to play at. You can have characters on ten different servers, one on each. This character is then free to roam the lands, together with several thousand other people playing at the server, and a lot of NPC (non-player characters). So no, everyone else will not be on Tatooine, but if you go there, you are bound to find a lot of people there. And yes, you can talk to them, dance with them, go out kill stormtroopers together, build weapons, create a player association, or just tell ghost stories. It is up to you and your imagination what you want to use SWG for. Is this going to be just one big room with everyone playing or do you choose different rooms to join? You join a server, yes, but it is not one big room, it is several planets, each one as big as the entire EverQuest map (how big? It would take you a couple of days to run across the place). So no, it's not a big room, it's several planets. How do you die in this game? You get killed. As easy as that. If you are a regular character, you'll respawn at a cloning facility. If you are a jedi, your character will be lost. Unless you were a master, then you will be a glowing jedi ghost, like Yoda & co. Can you just walk up to anyone and start battling them? Yes and no. If you are a declared rebel (overt), and the other guy is an overt imperial, you are free to shoot each other on site. Otherwise, you'll have to challange him to a duel, and he is free to say no. This is so that combat characters can't spend their days shooting at beginners, etc. Can there be like a huge war? we know that there will be battle areas, sort of like a metagame, where you will have to choose wheter to be rebel or imp (even if you are neutral), and then you'll duke it out with the opposing faction, until one has won, everyone is booted out of the area, and then, after a while, the battlezone will be reset, and you can fight again. Oh, and if you are two large PA's (or several small ones), you can declare war on each other, turning the server into a bloody battlefield where you can kill each other on site. Sort of. And there is always the prospect of Game Master made wars, where the GM's design a largescale attack that be unique every time, and that could get pretty spectacular. So yes, there can be wars... plenty of 'em. Hope that answers most of the questions. I'm tired, and blame all faults in this article on that!
