imageHow Disney’s Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge Will Be a Live MMO - Garrett Fuller - MMORPG.com

Last week at Star Wars Celebration we got glimpses of how Galaxy’s Edge will quickly become the queue hell that it was meant to be for fans. People will line up for miles to have the Star Wars experience they had always dreamed or…Disney tells you to dream. What we are going to discuss today is just how close to a live MMO this park will be. First, bring your phone, that is your log in, second, well, let’s go through some of the features.

    Am I the only one who scanned the headline and had their heart start pounding about a new properly done Star Wars MMO?

    Ahhhhh, an IRL theme park. OK... no, no, it's alright. That's cool too.

    I read article about this like a year ago, you play a role in the parks story from the moment you enter it. You pick a side ect. Will take some of the boredom out of the ride queues.

    I don't know. Have you seen the crazy lightsabres you can build in there?

    I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil

    :D Star Wars themed POP mystery boxes will be available in the store as you exit the ride I imagine, but at least you don't have to buy them to have a fun experience.

    Please edit the title and include RL Amusement Park.

    One time was enough to burn a hole in my wallet.
    I will never set foot in any Disney theme park ever again!

    No doubt this will be an epic venture because there is a lot of money in it for Disney.This is not like mmo gaming where everything is a huge risk,this is pretty much guaranteed income.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    It will be expensive unless you have a lot of money.

    Does that make Larping an MMO too?

    Hell, let's let EVERYTHING be an MMO, why not?

    So not a MMO at all... par for the course around here.

    Even if you have the money to do it I would still say it's expensive. It's like $130 per person for one park these days, park hopper tickets are even more. Prices have gone up since I took my family a few years ago, I expect them to go up even more this next year.

    In a theme park near, near by there is ..... an ice cream stand.

    Well, if you don't play it ONLINE it will hardly be an MMO, so... As many said before, LARPING with some gadgets on a phone doesn't make it an MMO at all.

    I had read where the top-notch premium lightsaber will cost more than the Disney ticket lol.

    No fair.... I scanned the headline also and got Heart Beat skips there for a second... arrrrrggg.... LARP not an MMO

    MMO stands for "Massive Multiplayer Online" - what part of that did the PR people over at Disney not understand about that?
