Well, its out and I bought it.

The server is down so its moot right now. Just giving you guys heads up.

Discuss. If you need any info, i'll answer what i can.

I was very excited about it when it was first announced.

But then they limited the players to just eight races (humans, wookies, those guys with the tentacle hanging from their head) and I just got bored with it.

--Hey, wait a minute. They were supposed to have several servers, each with its own galaxy. Hence the name: Star Wars Galaxies. See if you can't find another server. Aloha.

All servers are down, and yes, I bought it as well.

It's a technical issue which should be resolved shortly

What's the monthly fee?

BustaMike · June 27, 2003, 01:17

15 bucks a month, plus 50 for the game to start. Sounds like one giant rip off to me, plus the beta played like ass from what my friends tell me.

Me too.

Fortunately I convinced my roommate to get the game before I buy it, and I'll just try out his copy. If it's cool, I'll register my own, and if not, I won't

Smart man. Personally I'm still trying to decide between the Warcraft MMRPG and City of Heroes.

David Floyd · June 27, 2003, 01:56

I'm somewhat looking forward to Lord of the Rings MMRPG.

Frankychan · June 27, 2003, 02:03

David, maybe we can coordinate things here one the servers are up. Maybe meet up somewhere in there to trade or backstab someone.

Zkribbler-thanks dude, but all servers are down.

David Floyd · June 28, 2003, 05:58

Franky, and everyone else - I'm really enjoying the game. I'm an artisan, up to Surveying Level II and Engineering Level I. Got all that in one evening of play

So free training if you want it.

Grumbold · June 28, 2003, 07:02

No release outside mainland USA for some time to come, so I'll have to wait.

John-SJ · June 28, 2003, 21:32

I just got it this afternoon. Played for an hour or so, went through the tutorial and then started playing. So far I haven't done much more than run a couple of errands and start to learn how to survey and sample. (I'm an artisan also) But the game looks promising, I think I'll enjoy it!

Thanks guys.

I've had to delete a couple of characters cause my comp would disconnect in the tutorial...one time I got locked inside the tutorial with nobody inside it.

Where do you guys hang out? I'm in the Tarquinas galaxy on the planet Talus. If you see Tavin, that's me. I'm going Marksman from now on.

If I see you guys there, I'll try help you out.

I would never pay that much to have a good time with some friends. Or strangers.
