Star Wars Galaxies was, bar none, my favorite game of all time and I willingly sacrificed months of my life to that game. Hearing that the designer (@raphkoster) is leading up another game that sounds like SWG's spiritual successor was sublime.

The #StarsReach team and #raphkoster are back talking about things you shouldn't even notice in #MMORPGs: Movement and Camera. Players shouldn't really think about these much...unless you get them wrong! Here's how the team hopes to get it right: www.mmobomb.com/news/stars-r...
Stars Reach Talks Camera, Movement, Hanging From Things, And Leaving Fall Damage Craters
This blog is a bit more "backend" than many players will probably care about, but it's right up my alley.

The #StarsReach team and #raphkoster are back with more design pillar talk, this time taking on the setting, content, and yes, the art style of the upcoming #MMO project. It's all focused around creating "hope" in game: www.mmobomb.com/news/stars-r...
Stars Reach Is A Game About Hope And Optimism, But That Doesn't Mean It Can't Tackle Serious Themes
And yes, the team knows that the game's art style may not appeal to everyone.
