Germany based SWG fan site Dragon Clan has conducted an interview (in English) with Kevin "Q-3PO" O'Hara, Community Relations Manager at Sony Online Entertainment.
Here's an excerpt:Dragon Clan: Community is what keeps players enjoying a game even after the "been here and done that" effect starts. Having that in mind, how do you plan to support the game community (in and out of the game)?
Kevin: I completely agree. We're going to pour a ton of content into the game, but no matter how fast we crank it out, players can consume it faster. In Star Wars Galaxies, we've got a lot of good in-game ways for people to build their own communities. We have a robust player association system that can support up to 500 members. We are working on a political system update for building and maintaining player cities. We have an incredible host of tools that players can use to keep in touch with each other, such as custom chat channels, in-game email and out of game bulletin boards. The Live site is being designed with community building as its main focus. |
