Rage of the Wookiees! 46

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday March 09, 2005 @01:27PM from the graaaaaaaaaaarrrrrh! dept.

lunatick writes "The second expansion for Star Wars Galaxies has been announced : 'Rage Of the Wookiees.'" From the article: "The new expansion features the Wookiee planet of Kashyyyk. There are 100 new missions for players of all types on this Wookiee homeworld. Most revolve around the Wookiees' fight for freedom from their Imperial and Trandoshan predators. The Empire is worried that the Alliance is gaining a foothold on the planet and willing to fight to prevent the population from going over to the Rebels."

wondering if anyone else is going to time expansion releases near MxO's (supposed) release in two weeks...

  I doubt that is the motivation. MxO is one of the few games that could make SWG look better by comparison.

  wtf is MxO? I consider myself somewhat versed in the realm of MMOGs and I have never encountered that particular acronym.

Ladies and gentlemen of the supposed jury, Chef's attorney would certainly want you to believe that his client wrote "Stinky Britches" ten years ago. And they make a good case. Hell, I almost felt pity myself!

But ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider: Ladies and gentlemen this [pointing to a picture of Chewbacca] is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk, but Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now, think about that. That does not make sense! Why would a Wookiee--an eight foot tall Wookiee--want to live on Endor with a bunch of two foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense!

But more important, you have to ask yourself, what does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me, I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca. Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense. None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberating and conjugating the Emancipation Proclamation... does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense.

If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

  It will be a paid expansion, and I'd be surprised, given SoE's track record, if it didn't come in a box release.
  
  There will also be a concurrent free upgrade, known as the CURB (Combat Upgrade and Re-Balance), that will radically rework all aspects of the combat system. Beta will be simultaneous for both products.

Rest assured, when a Wookie is enraged (or otherwise [penny-arcade.com]), they are a fearsome foe indeed.

Sounds a hell of a lot like the former EQ players who are now giving Blizzard their money.

But I think the larger quest will be answering the question of 'What do you get a wookie for christmas?' (Especially if one said wookiee has a comb already in his possesion!)
