Star Wars Galaxies Date & Subscriptions [Jun 17, 2003, 2:45 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A press release
on The Star Wars Galaxies Website (thanks Jody Overstreet and SWG
Warcry) has a release date for the Star Wars MMORPG as well as a description
of the game's subscription plans. Here's a bit:
LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment Inc. today announced Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided, the highly anticipated initial installment of the first Star Wars massively multiplayer online (MMO) game series, will release June 26, 2003. The Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided online fan community now exceeds more than 500,000 registered members.
At launch Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided will offer four subscription plan options: Month-to-month - $14.99; three months - $14.00 per month; six months - $13.00 per month; and 12 months - $12.00 per month. By subscribing to any of the latter three plans, players can expect savings of up to 20 percent over the month-to-month rate. Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided has a suggested retail price of $49.95, and includes a 30-day subscription to the game. A special collector's edition, which includes a book of game-related art, in-game wearables, pewter figurine, lapel pin and patch, and a signed manual, will be available for a suggested retail price of $79.95.
...but I think that 15 bucks a month isn't as horrific as what you guys are making it out to be. Relatively speaking, that's not a bad value when compared to other things you could buy for the same amount. I'm not interested in playing Galaxies, but if there was a really well-designed online game, I could easily see myself plopping down that amount every month. Heck, I probably would've paid that much to play Diablo 2 or BF1942 back when I was heavily into those games.
Consider that there are millions of people who are going to pay over 15 bucks to bring a date to see "From Justin to Kelly" this weekend. Maybe you'll be just as much of an idiot to pay that much for a month of online gaming, but at least you get a whole month of torturous agony, as opposed to an hour and a half of it.
