Star Wars Galaxies - Fastest Selling MMOG Ever

Posted by simoniker on Sunday July 6, 2003 @01:43AM from the ker-ching-goes-the-registers dept.

Thanks to several readers for pointing to a LucasArts press release announcing Star Wars Galaxies has attracted more than 125,000 users in its first week, an all-time MMORPG sales record, and something LucasArts call "..the single most successful introduction of an MMO to date." This PC MMORPG is thus far proving extremely popular, despite teething troubles, and the press release also mentions the development team "..is working on a variety of new features, such as player-owned ground vehicles and player cities, along with substantial new content to be added on a regular basis throughout the coming months."

It doesn't matter how crappy this game is or what the bugs and shortcomings are. Media has proven once again that the idle minded player will flock to their beloved franchise name like a bull to a red flag without thinking.

I really wish people would take a critical view of the content before shuffling over to a store and handing over their money because "Duh... it's Star Wars! Dats da best!"
