to bring up the 100 jedi's with lightsaber issue ...again...

just think about what timeperiod SWG is set in..... the few that DO reach Jedi hood, wont be able to flaunt around showing off the grand stick (hmmm) with out being forced to constantly live on the run, fightin g of hordes of Imperials or Hunters (no.. not the gimps..) from claiming your bounty ... because during the Rebel-era the Jedis were ruthlessly hunted down by Big V himself... well .. there werent many left, but he made damn sure that every Jedi is KoS.

So the "lucky" who reach jedihood might not be so "lucky" after all .

The devs have stated that it will be VERY VERY very hard to become a jedi so you wont get hordes of people "pwning with lightsabres"

hard = lots of time in dev language. and no matter how long it takes, in the end there will be 100s of jedis pwning everyone with lightsabres.

They will have mods and name mods to check on names so you wont get away with Lukke Skyywalker or even
Wouk SkyLawker

like they have in everquest, daoc and every other mmorpg.

swg wont own anything. except everyones cash - and thats just because its starwars.

sheep.

It doesn't matter weather or not the Devs restrict the number or Jedi's the fact is 90% of the 'community' will want to be Jedi's and the fact is most of those people will be complete tossers.

Not saying it's going to be a bad game in itself but the people playing will make it a bad game.

thats the point i tried to make earlier.. you CANT pwn everybody when youre a jedi, the EMPIRE will hunt you down (ie empire as in NPC's and PC imperialist's)... and if you cant understand why thats a bad thing.. imagine you on your own against teh zerg at mmg... sure youll get some before you get your ass handed to you .. but in the end.. teh zerg always win .....

90% of the players will be jedis, shouldnt they be considered the zerg?

teh zerg = the bigger grp that doesnt like you

90% > 10%

..and you whine about 45% > 28%.

have a read

Actually I think there will be a fair amount of name checking, sony is a big corp and think of the copyright infringements which lucasarts are so big on, lawyers at dawn anyone?

Like in EQ they can make the NPC guards/stormtroppers level 60 + so therefore unbeatable unless you have got 3 or 4 very high level groups.

A single dark elf necro in EQ can not get very far into the High Elf City due to the two level 65 guards at the entrance to the main square. It took 3 full groups of level 46 to 60 players from the guild ShadowClan to kill them. I know that cause I was there with my necro helping out the guild I was and still in.

Simply put if you become known as a Jedi the game could flag you as a outlaw and make all NPC Imperials and Bounty Hunters make you a target on sight.

Dragon empires as soon as it hits beta next year, march I think. Developers actually listening to people in the forum and going with a few peoples idea's which is nice to see.
Early artwork and screenies I've seen look very promising.
