This is the first I've seen of it myself, but SOE have announced a virtual world game, it looks firmly aimed at a younger demographic, just surprised that they are involved with the Star Wars IP again so close to the Bioware offering launching. But I remember there was a discussion on EQ2-daily a while ago about the rumours, looks like they were all correct after all.

Certainly looks more arcad-ish than anything besides Free Realms so far that SOE has done, but personally I like that kinda stuff. I don't think it can be called an MMO (judging by the small amount I just saw) but certainly doesn't look like a bad game, especially if it takes the Free Realms model of Free to play, unless you want extras.

Will definitely be giving it a try.

Being the star wars freak that I am, I will be all over this.

Well, first of all, many of us on the Clone Wars Adventures team also worked on Free Realms, so we started this project with an enormous head-start in terms of knowing what would work and wouldn't work for the type of game we are making. This built-in knowledge allowed us to make a lot of fundamental changes to the way the basic game is setup. The biggest difference right off the bat is that CWA isn't an MMORPG like Free Realms, it is a virtual world. This means that we don't have character levels, stats, classes (or Jobs in the case of Free Realms) or any of the other trappings of a typical MMORPG. Instead, Clone Wars Adventures is all about socialization, competition with friends, playing a variety of skill-based games, earning trophies and unlocking and collecting from a massive catalog of items ranging from super-iconic Lightsabers to battle-worn Clone Trooper armor and everything in-between.

We don't really have the concept of Classes. You'll be able to collect and mix-and-match iconic looks for Clone Troopers, Bounty Hunters, Jedi even Senators and maybe even Sith, but we don't restrict what you can wear or what games you can play based on any concept of "classes"; everyone can do everything.

Its a good sign that the free realms team worked on this as well.
