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.
Dr.Del:
Yes, of course it's a business. But there's also different practices between these businesses. SOE and LucasArts seem to have went the greedy way by means of riding the franchise of one of the most popular movie series in history. But in doing that, they have failed to create something worth the money they're charging. It's just name recognition purchasing.
I'm not going to buy it. How is voicing my opinion of its current status ruining it for you and others? My opinion is not binding to your gaming decisions.
And yes, there comes crashes and bugs with every new release. What I and most of the other beta testers here are saying: SWG is not ready for release because there's no point in progressing within it, almost no content and hardly balanced. If anything is going to ruin your experience with it, it is the lack of quality the game itself possesses.
