Star Wars Galaxies: Interview: Jake Neri discusses Star Wars Galaxies

In this latest interview, MMO Gamer's Steven Crews speaks to LucasArts Producer, Jake Neri. The topic of discussion is the future, and past, of the now venerable MMORPG, Star Wars Galaxies.

The MMO Gamer: What about a sequel? EverQuest 2 was announced around this time in EverQuest's lifecycle.

Jake Neri: There are currently no sequels planned. We remain committed to SWG and feel that there are still plenty of stories to tell in the game.

The MMO Gamer: Every game has its ups and downs, but SWG, in particular, has been through some particularly tough times in its history. What would you say was the toughest of them all, and how did you go about recovering from it?

Jake Neri: When you look at any game in the history of MMOs, they have all had their ups and downs. I think that this is because there is no handbook on how to make these games. Our toughest challenge is adjusting to the changing needs of our players while still maintaining a living, breathing game with a live community filled with people that have all different needs and desires. Overall, we are proud of SWG, where we've come from, and where we're going.
