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.

Even if they did Beta test this for another month or ten it wouldn't matter. The entire design just flat out fucking sucks.
Bugs can be ironed out, and while charging people to play while fixing them is rediculous, at least they can be repaired.
But the gameplay itself, being so engraved and set in stone by the very design of the class system, will never be saved.
There's no tactics, no roles for each player. Nothing. No loot. No point in killing shit repeatedly.
Medics are laughable. I mean, they go against continuity to begin with, why stop there? Why not just remove them altogether if you're going to stay true to the Star Wars universe. Or better yet, one shot kills. I don't know anyone that can take 5 blaster shots to the face and live, at least in the movies.
My advice - scrap the Medic class, make Brawlers viable 'tank' classes, replace Medics with real healers and add a class that can do crowd control. Then put in a shitload of dungeons, load them up with loot and mobs and the game might be tolerable.
As it stands now, there are no tactics employed by groups, just blast a mob down till it's dead then spend the next 10 minutes regenerating while the Medic(s) in the group bust their asses trying to feebly heal the group.
There's so many more retarded aspects of this game I could rant on, but its already hit rock bottom, why bother kicking a man while he's down.
