This thread has been linked to the game 'Star Wars Galaxies'.
The general consensus is, however, don't bother...
The launch was a case of Massively Hyped and Anticipated Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game gets launched too early too buggy with too many features missing.

What you've read is what Lucas Arts promised.
The players are telling us half of it isn't there.

Fair enough - last time I read up on it (fairly recently), it was apparently a long way off. But after some research, I have now found that the reason it's been released so quickly is because they didn't include the option of space travel. It's going to be in an add-on released later this year.
Hopefully the Xbox version will have both included, and when I get Live, I'll pick up a copy. From what I've read, it really does look like a fantastic game.

Indeed he will.
Kyp will be most displeased by this news.
Isn't it obvious?
He doesn't need to ever play the game, he has GamesTM.

You're such a knob.
Last I heard there were about 1000 people signed up, and it's pretty toss. Doesn't even do half of what was promised.
But what did you expect? It's LucasArts Star Wars cash-in number 22.

And it got 7.5 on Gamespot: "A short while after the game's release, there's a lot of breadth to Star Wars Galaxies, but there isn't a lot of depth."
It was released in America last month, the 26th I think.
Galaxies isn't out yet.
And besides, it's going to be amazing.

Galaxies looked promising, but then so did Planetside and I've seen comments by allot of gamers saying how bad that game is.
Anyway, not all is lost, the highly acclaimed Eve Online looks very good indeed, and has got tons of praise by gamers and game journalists alike. It's slightly like Galaxies in that it's set in a massive universe you can explore at will. You can get jobs as miners, security, even bounty hunters to seek out lawless players, and if your very good, become the leader of your own galactic empire. I may very well give that game a try myself, and give galaxies a miss.
