OGRank - Star Wars Galaxies at E3

IGN has a report on the presence of Star Wars Galaxies at the E3. "The team's focus, according to Julio, is to "polish, enhance and expand" the core experience. Their first step is to roll out the first of many events. In this case, the team is planning the Battle of Restuss. Those of you who are playing the game might be familiar with this city already but there are going to be some big changes coming soon."

"To begin with, the Imperials have started taking over in Restuss and the Rebels are intent on stopping them from consolidating their power. Furthermore, rumor has it that the Imperials have developed a super compact power source. It's small enough to fit in a backpack yet powerful enough to run an entire Death Star. Naturally, the Rebels want to sabotage this project at any cost.

Restuss will become the site of a weeks-long battle between Rebel and Imperial players that will have a lasting and significant impact on the game world. It might play out a little differently on each of the servers but, having seen what happens at the end of the battle, it's well worth it for the players to take part in the action. Once the battle is completed, Restuss will be changed forever and will open up entirely new content and plenty of high end loot for veteran players.

Along with the event, the team is hoping to add a bit more profession differentiation so that characters of the same profession will be able to stand out a bit more. That was one of our complaints of the recent NGE, so we're anxious to see exactly what the team has in mind."
