Screw Naboo, I'ld rather be screaming down the trenches of Deathstar, or even better, going directly to the core of the second Deathstar, that would be great.

If you read on the box, it says something like "recurring fees apply" that's why I didn't buy it.

Destroy you with my mind, I could!

PoHa-- It's called a MMORPG, lol

Guys-- Star Wars Galexies is a terrain engine and big chatroom that wants a monthly fee. Don't waste your time. Play Asheron's Call 2, PlanetSide, EVE Online or Meridian 59 if you want a good MMORPG.

I absolutely refuse to pay $50 bucks for a boxed game and then another $10 - $20 per month to play it. That's $120 - $240 per year these games are costing people! Either charge me $150 up front and let me have unlimited play for free or give me the game free and make me pay monthly.

Aren't there some free MMORPGs out there? I could've sworn I've seen them before or heard of ones in development.

Exactly my thinking KNau. There really havn't been any mmorpg's worth paying that much for in my opionion. Sure they're fun to play, but for how long? and how much? Personally, bf1942(up to 64 players) is enough for me, or even NWN(I've played with up to 70, really no publicly known limit) when I feel like an rpg.

I owned it the day after it was released... and about a month ago canceled my subscription. Its a great game but they released it to early. Though it was great going all over the places of starwars. I had to leave it though becuase they released before the 3 major wanted things that where wanted where implimented (play cities, vehicals, mounts). And i just didnt have the paitence to stick with it any more for the patches.

Quote: "@kingius Yeah and Ive heard that 75% of the players are Jedi masters, sounds a bit unbalanced!"

nope, infact it was clearly stated in the system that there where going to be very few jedi masters. Though you have to do something special to become a jedi and when i left no one had yet to figure out how to become one.

@KNau I use to agree with you but after playing them ive come to find them much more fun. They are always patching and changes are always occuring. So personaly i have come to find them very much worth it (esspeically when they have player owned buildings and player economys).

it was a great game and i do reccomened it to others. besides what other game can you have 2 at-st pets on either side of yea?

but then again i am a very hardcore gamer (the type that spend every waking moment on a game and have a stack of games that could reach from side to side of the U.S.) and like to go to tourneys )

When catapults are outlawed, only outlaws will have catapults. I have a catapult. Give me all the money, or I will fling an enormous rock at your head.

$10 to $20 a month? Hardly, it's $10 to $12 for almost all of them-- the most expensive I've seen is $14 a month. By the way, that is less than going out to see a movie + popcorn-- just one, and this pays for a full month of the game. It's about a third of the price you'd pay to go out to a decent resteraunt for dinner (less than a third if you're paying for two or three people). It's under a fifth of the monthly costs of smoking a pack of cigarettes a day (and last I checked MMORPGs didn't fill your lungs with tar either).

On top of that, almost all MMORPGs are only $20 to $30 upfront, some are even free-to-download (Meridian 59, Runescape, Shadowbane is heading in that direction and so is Planetside). Many have free trials. It's an incredibly good deal if you ask me.


Edit-- Yellow-- I agree, big multiplayer games are fun (take Savage, up to 42 players I think?) but it's incomparable to an MMORPG. There's something really amazing about living your character in a world inhabited by other real people. Especially if you join one where the role-playing is strong. In Meridian 59, my friends and I talk, trade, fight, and even die 100% in-character with the high fantasy setting-- it's pretty amazing when mixed with the constant world aspect of MMORPGs.

I cant think of anything more enjoyable than just BEING there. Im the type of gamer that doesnt care for sub plots and mini-quests, i just like the way Galaxies would give me the ability to LIVE IN THE STARWARS UNIVERSE!!!

now who hasnt wanted to do that huh? I must admit, the bulidable cities thing was a bit of a bummer not coming out right up front, but hey, its coming in the update.

You'd think after 26 years of Star Wars George Lucas would have enough money by now.

Damn you George! Make it free or we'll drop Jabba the Hutt on you from a great height!

Programming anything is an art, and you can't rush art.
Unless your name is Bob Ross, then you can do it in thirty minutes.

Lucas has nothing to do with it, it's the publishers and developers that need the money to keep the servers up. If I was in his shoes I sure as pucky wouldn't make it free. Enough money, maybe, not not enough to waste like that!

greenlig-- If you consider 'living' to mean walking around and chatting with 1337 sp33k3rs, then I suppose the game's for you .

simple, pirate the game then make up for it by paying the monthly fee . Nah i was in jk3 the other night and someone was talking about it, they wouldnt however tell me if it was anything like kotor, cause if it was i think i may be force persuaded to pay that fee.

KoToR? No it's utterly different... the development of the two games was completely unrelated, two different companies with two different ideas. Being 100% frank here, I think terrain engine and chat client pretty much sums it up. It's expensive for an MMORPG too.

Well personally I'm waiting for Everquest 2 or World of Warcraft(not too sure about FFXI yet) to make a big investment in mmorpg's.

Until then, I program.

I have it. Ive had it for awhile.

It did have some bugs, and it still does, but its being patched (a lot)


Quote: "Yeah and Ive heard that 75% of the players are Jedi masters, sounds a bit unbalanced! "

No one has reached jedi master yet. no one has reached jedi apprentice yet. No one even knows how to.
there are some balance issues, such as the power of the imperial at-st(yes you can control them), the commandos and bounty hunters are capable of killing players in one hit.
But in general I'd say the game is pretty damn good. Its way better than everquest (everquest was downright boring).

There's a lot of talk of Soldner too :-

http://soldner.jowood.com/

It's being touted as one of the best military FPS games, me looking forward to this game.
