While studios have tried just as hard to make and promote them, there seems to be a curse that hovers over most of these games. In particular, the game expands upon the culture of the Wookiees and adds their ancestral home world of Kashyyk to the online galaxy.Unlike fantasy, the sci-fi genre has had a rocky relationship with MMORPGs.
Released in the same time window as the technically conclusive Episode III feature film, the add-on pays due attention to plot details and new Star Wars mythology revealed in the movie. The second retail expansion for Star Wars Galaxies, Rage of the Wookiees, offers additional weapons, armor and equipment, more ships and ship modifications, a planet full of fresh story-driven quests, and a revamped combat system designed to balance gameplay for all participants.
Accomplished player characters can gain access to a larger ship which is intended to be operated by more than one person at a time. The add-on adds new character classes, mostly focused on piloting and ship maintenance skills. Deep-space dog-fighting - a staple of the beloved film series - also becomes available with the Jump to Lightspeed. Players can pilot personal, interstellar spacecraft that allow them access to new species, new worlds, and new challenges. Jump to Lightspeed, the first retail expansion package for Star Wars Galaxies, adds the option of autonomous space travel to the persistent world RPG. They may join the Rebel Alliance, swear fealty to the Empire, or decide to remain neutral. Players can take the role of a Mon Calimari artisan, for example, or play as a Rodian marksman. Unlike other massively multiplayer games, however, LucasArts' virtual worlds are set in the sci-fi Star Wars universe. They then join a game world populated by hundreds, if not thousands of other human-controlled characters.
