Its very early days yet but...

CEO John Smedley took to Reddit to answer questions following the announcement, and while it makes for a sobering read if you're a Vanguard, Wizardry Online, Free Realms, or Clone Wars Adventures fan, there was a hopeful nugget buried in there for sandbox lovers and more specifically, fans of Star Wars: Galaxies.

"SWG players, our next game (not announced yet) is dedicated to you," Smedley wrote. "Once we launch it... you can come home now."

A pre-CU SWG on a new engine would be perfect.

And cps for guns/grenades etc. Swods etc would still have to be button.

Much more advanced crafting system and what they're trying to do in elite/SC with player changing the world, politics etc.

Any info on this game at all? Or is that it.
 
That is so SWG minus the Jedi that helped ruin it.

The harvesting and crafting system of SWG was the best I ever used, I made a fortune from my doctor buff packs made from the best avian meat and liquid petro chem ever on the server.

The time I was possibly the first person on the server to find the best copper that ever spawned and got all my mates to drop harvesters for me.

Oh and about SOE ruining the game. Whilst they played their part I found out from 2 people in my EVE online corp who worked for SOE server side, that Lucasart were the main instigators in all the big screw ups. They couldn't stop interfering.

I WANT THE REPOPULATION NOW.

There's a small official thread buried somewhere I'll dig it up and bounce it. Game looks promising, it's been a long time coming but the devs seem to have a 'when it's done' attitude, they've collected a lot of money so hopefully it can launch with some polish and decent testing which so many indie MMOs lack.

I remember dopping a truck load of harvesters when the allate polysteel copper spawned on chim. Made billions on the back of that aswell as the good old =Upde= brand weapons selling out of Kintha :D
 
I will be watching this very closely

my fondest memories of swg was going hunting Krypt dragons with marksman rifles 0/0/3/0 in a large group. So many WTF's and corpses.

Or heading out to Tuskan fort before Vehicles or mounts where introduced and dying a few hundred meters from it.
 
Repopulation certainly sounds good on "paper" will be keeping a close watch on this one.Loved swg pre CU even with all its bugs/faults it was one of the most enjoyable mmo's imo.

The guys over at swgemu are still pushing out regular publishes, and its very playable atm, will be a lot better when the ai is implemented.Looks like CH is coming along nicely aswell.

Worth a look if you liked pre-CU swg.
 
Hmm after the utter farce that Smedly turned SWG into, I'd take everything this guy says with a pinch of salt. Who knows what he's referring to. It also won't be another Star Wars title which is a shame :(
 
Adding some pure reddit speculation: SWG trademark renewed December 2013 (spoiler for large size of pic):
