Sounds very similar to LON (which is a good thing)
Quote:MV: in Legends of Norrath you have the four general classes, but obviously Galaxies has nine very different classes. Are you going to support all nine or are you going to break them in to small groups?
JA: We've broken them down. The four archetypes in SWG are jedi, sith, imperial, and rebel. Each one of them channels into one of those archetypes. I think we've done a good job of it, so I'm excited.
http://www.massively.com/2008/07/16/e308-a-first-look-at-champions-of-the-force/I haven't played any LON since set 4 just because of time constraints, but overall I think SOE did a really good job with LON. I wonder if these will start to 'dilute' the fun of the otc games if they were all just watered down versions of LON with different character sets. (I have no clue how intricate and original this game is, I am just saying in general). I hope they really put time and effort into the core game dynamics and it isn't just LON with a new meta layer.
