I want to make it so I can buy the rights to a MMORPG I played in the early 2000s that is no longer around, and relaunch the game. That game is star wars galaxies, launched in 2003.

I know there is an Emulator running for it, but I want to buy it officially from whoever owns the rights to it now, and to then relaunch the game.

How much do you think Sony Online Entertainment and Disney would charge me for this? its not like theyre even using the game anymore, they shut it down 10 years ago

I know its free, but i want to own it, and relaunch the game, as an official MMO, get all normies back into it like in 2003 when the game first launched, the EMU is just private server autistic people playing it.

Yeah when they dumbed it down to 9 classes and you got to pick a jedi, it wasn't special seeing one. I remember when you had to find the holocrons, maybe know which class to level up next, maybe not. Level up that whole class tree and then you'd have to do it with like 3 or 4 more. One jedi used to be able to take on like 6 or 7 people. Good times.

In terms of social media, in the early 2000s there wasn't really any widespread social media besides myspace or msn messenger or chatrooms, so connecting with people online was new, there was a novelty of it, and people were friendly and willing to connect and close knit communities formed through their shared experience and hardships in the game.
It's more than just social media that's different though, nowadays all the information about any mmorpg is out there on the internet. There's no mystery or discovery, the most efficient/powerful ways to play have already been documented and people just follow that. The magic is largely gone.

If it was just Snoy (and for that matter Lucasfilm) you had to deal with then a value could have been set for the game, but Disney made a point of nuking any previous Star Wars media that wasn't the main movies from orbit, so it's likely they won't sell it to you out of wanting to protect whatever vision they're pretending to have for the franchise.

WoW Classic servers are played by 10000X more people than those who play WoW private classic servers

Why? Because 99.99% of people only want to play on "official" servers.

Im sure if SWG got re-released today it would easily get 1 million subscribers..... SWG managed to get 1 million subscribers back in 2003.....two thousand and fucking three

meanwhile on pservers you could have 8-10k people online (Elysium/Northdale) and not have (server)lag, all the while you didn't have 400ms of spellbatching and instant lag when more than 80 people start pvping against one another in the world

This is either an example of incredibly selective memory or another zoomer who didn't play at launch.

SWG was a mess from day one, despite some really cool (albeit poorly implemented) ideas. Even like 2 years into its launch the designer (Ralph Koster) knew they had fucked up because then entire engine along with its net code was built around 56k technology, while newer games like WoW were more forward thinking.

The sad fact is that in 2022 outside of "emulator autists" no one in the mainstream would choose to play a 20 year old game, with broken combat, and grindy, time sink mechanics from an era when that sort of think was normal.
