LucasArts Layoffs Spark Many Rumors, Including KOTOR 3 170
It seems that LucasArts has laid off somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 employees, sparking all sorts of interesting leaks and rumors. Chief among the rumors seems to be another carrot in the chase for the LucasArts/Bioware MMO project, which according to one employee, will take the shape of KOTOR 3. "Most interesting, however, is the information they provide on how the layoffs leave the company severely short-staffed as they approach a packed development schedule, one which it appears may be increasingly outsourced. Some of the titles they report LucasArts apparently have in this stacked pipeline, whether as publisher or developer, include: KOTOR 3, Battlefront 3, 'The Official Indiana Jones' game, another LEGO based game based on the Indy universe, and 'a lightsaber game for the Wii.'"

Not really. Eve Online isn't a flight simulator, its an RPG. You don't have the visceral fun of actually dodging around and flying maneuvers in an effort to get the perfect angle on your enemy. Instead (like in many other MMORPGs) you fly in, select your target and your ship does all the work for you.
The real fun in Eve Online is in outfitting and customizing your ship, which is why many people say that Eve Online is fun if your idea of entertainment involves Excel spreadsheets.
