“Will I be able to learn/train in the ways of the SITH?” - Rorschach_2000

It may be possible to obtain Sith artifacts that allow a player to learn specific Sith powers, but becoming a “Lord of the Sith” or “Sith Lord” will not be an option. There can only be two beings with that title at any time, and we already know who they are at this point in the timeline (Vader and the Emperor).

6.12 Will I be able to build a Rebel or Imperial base?

Yes. Players of the appropriate faction will be able to establish bases, which will then behave just like any other Rebel or Imperial bases in the game, including attracting the attention of NPCs of the opposite faction.

2.09 My kids want to play Star Wars Galaxies. Will there be a profanity filter of some sort in the game?

A profanity filter will definitely be in the game. You will be able to decide whether to use it, what additional words go into it, as well as be able to password it so that it can be used as a parental control.

3.11 Will I be able to become a stormtrooper?

Unfortunately, the constraints of the Imperial hierarchy prohibit us from allowing players to actually become stormtroopers in the initial launch product. Service in the Empire would be very difficult to enforce; if we did allow stormtroopers, players would constantly be AWOL as they explored other aspects of the game. Rest assured, however, that players will be able to serve the Empire in many other ways.

3.12 How many species will be available for me to play?

We will feature eight playable species for the release of the game. We whittled down the long list to eight finalists, which will provide a great deal of diversity and balance to the game. We hope to add additional playable species with future products in the Star Wars Galaxies line.

4.14 Can I have a title like “Jedi Knight” or “Jedi Master”?

We're planning to include Jedi titles, like "Jedi Knight" and "Jedi Master" in the game. Dark Jedi would likely have the same titles as the regular Jedi (Dark Jedi Knight, Dark Jedi Master).

5.07 Will enemies be able to attack me through walls?

No, enemies will not be able to attack you through walls.

3.15 Will only the extremely lucky or hardcore players get to play Jedi?

We are not “pre-determining” whether a character can become a Jedi or not. Also, being “hardcore” is not a qualifier used in becoming a Jedi. Our system is designed to allow the casual player, as well as the hardcore player, the opportunity to become a Jedi.

Yes, there will be patches. And yes, we have to do this. Mostly because of content additions, to bring you even more of the game over time, which is standard practice in the MMO world.
