Star Wars Galaxies Technical Difficulties

Posted by simoniker on Thursday June 26, 2003 @07:02PM from the someone-threw-an-ewok-in-the-works dept.

Thanks to several readers for pointing to a SWGalaxies.net post summarizing the multiple technical difficulties on both registration and game servers for the PC MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies, which launched within the last few hours. The registration servers were down or extremely slow through the afternoon of the 26th, and official word was "..a combination of hardware failures and some other unforeseen technical problems resulted in a severe load on the registration servers." These issues were resolved later on the 26th, and many were able to register their characters, but unfortunately all of the game servers are currently (11.30PM PST) down, as Sony "..found a serious problem with our database that is being worked on as we speak." We'd recommend watching the official site for more information as it happens..

Why buy on the first day? by Mantrid · 2003-06-27 03:25 · Score: 0, Redundant

I don't understand why anyone would buy a MMOG on the first day, especially experienced MMOG players. In particular attempting to buy a game as in demand as a Star Wars MMOG and expecting to play on the first day is just plain nuts!

Just wait a month or two - it'll be much better on your blood pressure!
