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.
#79 and #101, there was a similar tally on the beta boards. After about 450 posts, it was 90.39% saying "no" and 9.61% saying "yes."
The game is great... until you finish creating your character. It's all downhill from there.
Some people like this game... but jesus there aren't many of them, and the ones that do and can write a post about why combat is interesting, or why the crafting is good, or even better than what's already out there, are nonexistant. You might like it. But frankly... it's a terrible game. I had very low hopes to begin with (I've played MMO's for a long time and know how they turn out), and even I was disappointed after trying it out.
