Smedley apologizes

In an interview with WarCry, John Smedley says: "With the NGE, I'm sorry about the mistake we made. ... We screwed up and didn't listen to the fans when we should have, and it's not a mistake we're going to make again."[1] Powers ^T 22:42, 3 October 2007 (UTC) John now that you have apologized, put the game back to what it was when it first came out I guarantee people will come back. Then fire the developers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.109.213.111 (talk) 23:42, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Major revision

With one edit and absolutely no comments, an anonymous IP completely revised the entire article and introduced jebus knows how many errors and uncited information. I'm not saying the article doesn't need a major revision. It absolutely does. I'm saying let's implement the edits in a non-destructive, intelligent, and collaborative way. There's a lot of good stuff in there and it's very obviously a good faith edit, but the simple fact is that the amount of errors, broken links, uncited new information, and existing cites being completely destroyed (which actually upsets me because it took a long time to find and properly cite all of those sources I added) makes this a disadvantageous edit in my opinion and really pulls a lot of encyclopedic value from the article. This is why I've reverted the edit so all editors can chime in here. Thoughts? Roguegeek (talk) 04:18, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Wow. It's difficult to tell quite how extensive the changes were, due to limitations in the Wiki engine's difference generator, but I think changes on that scale should probably be discussed. Now, granted, I didn't do so back in May 2006, but my changes then were less extensive and easier to see in the diff. What I would suggest is informing the IP of the reversion, possibly userfying the IP's version, and encouraging the IP user to offer that version up for discussion here before making the changes.

Lead

The lead needs to be expanded to accurately summarize the article. There is a lot of article, and it is simply not reflected in the lead. - RoyBoy ⁸⁰⁰ 06:28, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

This is something you should bring up on the Star Wars Galaxies forums, not on the talk page for this article.--Tandalo (talk) 19:31, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Why are the game "enhancements" not mentioned until the criticism section?

Forgive me if I misread but why does the NGE receive little to no mention until the section about Criticism? The updates that ruined this game are what it's most known for now. Eica (talk) 15:21, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, there was a lot more detailed info on the NGE, but a somehow someone decided it was okay to edit it down to a nub. This is how Wikipedia works, the most persistent editor wins! For a better take on it - here is an older revision of the article - older version.

For a more detailed take on the NGE debacle, here is an article that used to be referenced heavily in the Wikipedia entry but the gist of the info was also edited out: Blowing up Galaxies. --Eqdoktor (talk) 09:08, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Player housing, guilds, and cities

"The gameplay design encourages realistic social institutions such as a dynamic player economy and other real-life social phenomena like a complicated division of labor. According to Star Wars Galaxies and the Division of Labor, the division of labor in Star Wars Galaxies around April 2005 produced in-game results similar to those in real life. Galaxies' original game design socialized players to specialize their characters by mastering one or two professions, and to join guilds, in which players relate to one another primarily in terms of their professions (eg: "I am the weaponsmith, so I make weapons for the guild") — just as in real life, people are tied to one another by organic solidarity."

The NGE killed this, this is outdated information that no longer applies and only serves as advertisement, I didn't know wikipedia was a tool for advertisers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.165.6.225 (talk) 20:42, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
