  1. Don't buy! not for the first few months anyways by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative

    I'm in beta, and the game is really unfinished. There needs to be a lot of tweaking done before it is ready. Give it a few months and it'll get there and be enjoyable. But right now it's only slightly better than AO was at launch.

    I'm also in the beta and agree. The game performs very well, but is way to complicated and requires too much time to get anywhere.

    I really tried hard to like the game, but it's just too tedious.

  3. Does anyone realize just how AWFUL this will be? by DarkFencer · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Does anyone realize just how AWFUL this will be? Take Verant's atrocious customer service record, add in tons of StarWars fanboys, and add the highest monthly fee around for a MMORPG (Everquest Legends excluded) and you get the train wreck that will be Star Wars Galaxies!

    I'll be avoiding this like the plague thank you very much, though I will keep up on it to watch the train wreck develop. This could be a worse launch then Anarchy Online!

  4. Error in headline by Snowspinner · · Score: 5, Funny

    It should properly read "Star Wars: Galaxies to begin charging for beta June 26th."

    But, then, I'm cynical, jaded, and broken.
