Cyber Mate
Kind of a neat thing to do actually. An interesting concept at least.
SWG is only going to allow 1 char per server. This is a Long explanation behind what they are thinking. Personally I have no problem with this.
Long post about why only 1 char per server

When you come near other players who are close matches to the profile you're looking for, you'll get notified, so that you can try to strike up a friendship. Some of the factors included for matchmaking are: music, sports, books, movies, crafts and hobbies, gaming styles, gender, zodiac sign, blood type, SWG activities, and more.
blood type??? DNA matches can't be too far off.
profile: Agdarr
sports:water
movies:american psycho
crafts:knots
hobbies:stalking
gaming style:steamroller
Interesting idea but it seems easy enough to make friends in EQ from the grouping system in place.

i think this is a marketing move to increase the target demo to include more women.
broaden client base and get more $$

How exactly do "cyber mates" appeal more to women than men? I know I personally wouldn't fill out any information as I wouldn't want anyone to pester me.

I agree. In fact I think it appeals more to all the lonely men who play RPGs. More men join online dating services than women.

Maybe the idea of hordes of available women signing up for SWG to look for Mr. Right just touched a fuzzy spot in you.

Takes a true man to admit when he's wrong! Is this a marketing ploy by Voronwe to gain sympathy?
