One of the most promising MMORPG's to be released is Star Wars: Galaxies - An Empire Divided. Gamers.com brings you a preview, and it spans 11 (short pages). This is how it ends:
According to our resident Star Wars Galaxies Holocron, producer Haden Blackman, "Players who become bounty hunters will have access to special bounty hunter missions. Initially, bounty hunters will be pursuing NPCs, but as they advance, their quarry will grow to include other players."
Yes, bounties can be slapped onto you if you, for example, fail a mission for Jabba the Hutt (you might get carbon-frozen), play a Jedi who's been spotted by the Emperor, or play a crazy murderer who goes around killing neutral players. You'll be able to re-enact some of the Jedi bounty hunter fight scenes that we hear will make Episode II very cool. Heck, if there's a bounty on your head and a player hasn't accepted it, an NPC like Boba Fett or IG-88 might be commissioned to goafter you; they have a zealous appetite for Jedi in particular. Life kinda sucks for you at that point.
All in all, Star Wars Galaxies will have a lot to offer for burgeoning Fett wannabes. |
