2001: A "Star Wars" online gaming odyssey
By Steven Musil
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
March 16, 2000, 12:15 p.m. PT
LucasArts Entertainment today announced a partnership with two
other interactive entertainment companies to develop, distribute
and host an online multiplayer "Star Wars" game.
Sony Online Entertainment and Verant Interactive will team with
LucasArts to produce a role-playing game in which participants create
their own characters and goals, LucasArts spokesman Tom Sarris said.
The game, which is being developed under the working title "Star
Wars Online," is expected to be released in late 2001 and will involve
"literally thousands of players competing against each other at the
same time," Sarris said.
Game play will feature scenarios based on a combination of combat,
missions and quests in the "Star Wars" universe.
"The persistent game universe allows players to create characters
in an environment and to live out that role, whether it's as a bounty
hunter or a courtesan," Sarris said.
The game will be developed by Verant Interactive, the San Diego,
Calif.-based game developer that created "EverQuest," an online game
with 120,000 daily players, the company said.
LucasArts, the entertainment software arm of the San Rafael,
Calif.-based Lucas group, will distribute the game at retail outlets,
said Sarris, adding that a price tag hasn't been determined. Players
also will pay an as yet undermined monthly fee to play the game online
at The Station#sony,com, Sarris said.

Hmmm... EQ's creators? Sony? As in PS2? Might be one to avoid...
Still, nice to see muds taking hold in the commercial market.
