Despite the layoffs and restructuring that has recently hit Sony Online Entertainment, Star Wars Galaxies is still going strong and improving. Producer Teesquared has chimed in for this month's producer's letter, outlining some of the planned additions to the game over the course of the next year.
And what will that entail? Outlined in the letter are updates to the ongoing Galactic Civil War. Players can look forward to Galactic Civil War 2 being split into three updates to allow for faster release, with part one adding more objectives in space and three new fighter ships to help achieve those objectives. Part two will bring the war more directly to player-run cities and guilds, while part three will be a general balancing pass aimed at improving the game all around.
While Teesquared spends a great deal of time looking back at the past year and outlining the changes that have been made to the game, it looks like Star Wars Galaxies players can look forward to a mix of system tweaks, PvP improvements, and content additions. Fans should take a look at the full letter for more details.

You mean a droid engineer? That's in the game. Its under a trader class or something.

Ugh, I hate you Massively! You and your constant following of older games is draining me of time and money! For example, that piece Krystalle wrote yesterday reminded me Lineage 2 exists. So out of curiosity, I tried that game and even as dated and janky as it is, I'm about 3 seconds from signing up at any given moment. Jef wrote a piece about the new Aion patch today. I tried to forget about that game, but now I'm considering picking that sub back up too.
And now thanks to you Eliot, I'm downloading the SWG trial. YOU GUYS ARE MONSTERS.
Cool monsters though and that's why I come here everyday lol.

People still play this game?

@Integral quite a few actually much to the chagrin of a lot of older SWG galaxy players ( the ones that were around before SOE huge changes to the game) Those guys have been predicting the death of the game for over six years but it’s the energizer bunny....I don't even think TOR will effect it's numbers that much.

Still trolling every SWG article with the same comment?
Oh, right, you don't think you're trolling. You think you're "writing something provocative solely to see people's emotional response."

Doesn't one usually use quotations marks when they are, in fact, quoting someone? Have me confused with someone else?
@Dunraven
I'd play it if it weren't for school and work. Too little money and time. I'm also scared to commit lest it finally die. But you've intrigued me. I may have to give the trial a try.

This game is dead when SW:TOR hits. Why is it that only in the MMO gameworld your supposed to be respected for getting a game half way decent.

Hmm...SWG is a different experience than SWTOR. Its still very sandboxy and TOR is a straight line. I doubt SWG goes anywhere.
