Patch 11.0.5 Now Live
Major balance changes to all classes, new dungeon difficulty, and holiday events are now available. Check out the full patch notes for details.
There hasn't been a Star Wars MMORPG that matches the scale and persistence of games like World of Warcraft, but there have been notable online Star Wars games with MMO elements. Here are the key ones: Star Wars Galaxies (20032011) - Developer: Sony Online Entertainment (now Daybreak Game Company) - Status: Shut down in 2011. - Features: - A sandbox MMORPG set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. - Players could choose non-combat roles (e.g., dancer, architect, smuggler) and build cities. - Controversial "Combat Upgrade" (2005) and "New Game Enhancements" (NGE) overhauls alienated some fans. - Legacy: Private servers like SWGEmu and Legends keep the game alive with pre-NGE/post-NGE rulesets. Star Wars: The Old Republic (2011Present) - Developer: BioWare Austin / Broadsword (as of 2023) - Status: Active (subscription + free-to-play). - Features: - A story-driven MMORPG set 3,600 years before the films, with fully voiced quests and 8 unique class stories. - More themepark-style than Galaxies, with instanced zones and linear progression. - Regular expansions (e.g., Legacy of the Sith in 2022). Other Star Wars Online Games (Non-MMOs) - Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures (20102014) A kid-friendly, now-defunct MMO-lite. - Star Wars: Uprising (20152016) A mobile RPG with co-op elements (shut down). Could a New Star Wars MMORPG Happen? - Demand: Fans of SWG still crave a true sandbox Star Wars MMO. - Challenges: EA's exclusivity deal (now expired) and the high cost of MMO development make it unlikely in the near future. - Rumors: No credible leaks, but Disney/Lucasfilm could partner with a new studio (e.g., Amazon Games, NCSoft) someday. Alternatives: - SWTOR: The only active Star Wars MMO (though more solo-friendly). - Emulated SWG: Private servers offer classic experiences. - Upcoming Games: Keep an eye on Star Wars Outlaws (2024, open-world but single-player) and future multiplayer projects. Would you like details on private SWG servers or SWTORs current state?

Venture into the depths of Azeroth itself in this groundbreaking expansion. Face new threats emerging from the planet's core, explore mysterious underground realms, and uncover secrets that will reshape your understanding of the Warcraft universe forever.
The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
