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.
Do you know the difference between MB/s and Mbps?
Do you really think much if any of the $30 space addon will end up in the developers hands to pay employees? It MIGHT pay for 15+ jobs if they only work for a year.
The games I was talking about include, jumpgate, neocron, planetside, AA, and yes the SWG beta which for me uses around 5-7k/s downstream and 1-3k/s up.
The "movie" argument is perfectly valid, you are paying for entertainment, you get one month free which offers more gameplay than any singleplayer game including epics like morrowind, then you have the option of paying for more. Lots of movies are not ready for release or should never have been released to begin with. Frankly I'd much rather pay $15 for a game that might not be up to scratch than watch something like friggen tombraider.
