This weeks FAQ envolves the matchmaking service which will be incorporated in SWG!
12.23 What is the Match Making Service?
We've found that massively multiplayer games are much more fun if you have friends to play with. Under the Community button in the game, and during character creation, there is an opportunity to set up a personal profile for yourself. You can define characteristics about yourself such as what sorts of things you like to read, what hobbies you have, what sort of gameplay you prefer to engage in, and so on. You can also fill out a section for what you'd like to find in a friend, adjust a "sensitivity" slider as to how close a match someone should be, and choose to hide yourself from other people's searches. When you come near other players who are close matches to the profile you're looking for, you'll get notified, so that you can try to strike up a friendship. Some of the factors included for matchmaking are: music, sports, books, movies, crafts and hobbies, gaming styles, gender, zodiac sign, blood type, SWG activities, and more.
Blood type? Thats a bit.. over doing it? I don't think people will really care what blood type there friends are.
Oh, and P.S. Seros summary will be up late tonight (friday) or mid saturday. Got work tonight AND tomorrow, plus still messing around with the new computer. Enjoy!
