As some of you may be aware, and after being pushed back several months several times, Star Wars Galaxies will be released this coming Thursday(June 26th). Myself, I'm a huge Star Wars fan, so it can be expected that I'll be among the first in line for this game. I was just curious if there are any others here that I may just pass by while wandering say, Tatooine or Endor? Since I did not participate in the beta test of SWG, I can't say for sure how much I'll love it or hate it, as the reviews have been mixed - but there's a pretty good chance I won't be playing Renegade for at least a week after the 26th. I'll have to get used to it and work on my character a bit before I have a solid opinion of the game.
For those of you clueless as to what I'm talking about, pick up a damn gamers' magazine or read some websites, because SWG is going to eat up the MMORPG market! Earlier today, its sales had achieved the #1 rank on Amazon, currently at #2 I believe. I can't wait!

According to a pal who's been a beta tester for some time it's somewhat of a disappointment, atleast so far. The world's too plain & uninteresting aswell as many other general problems in gameplay. However, since it's billed with a monthly fee there's always room for vast improvements & players'll surely see many such in the time following its release.

I thought you had to pay for the online access. don't you? and if you do then I'm not getting it cause it's probablly not worth it.

No video game will ever be worth a monthly fee.

Not true. All MMORPGs must be subscription-based in order to compensate for the amount of bandwidth consumption. Do you think that the bandwidth to support millions of players at a time is cheap? Although I do believe that Sony could have gone with the typical price of an MMORPG and make the fee only $12 a month(that's what UO went UP to), they decided to make it $14 because they know people will still pay it. What aggravates me is the topic started on the SWG boards by a person who thought that $14 was too low. He wanted it to be around $25-30/m to eliminate the amount of kids playing so that it was majorly adults.

That is the most ridiculous thing I've heard all day. You take measures to elliminate childish behavior, not raise the costs so the majority of people who act childish can't even play it...That'd cause a huge chunk of profits to go flying away.
