Star Wars Galaxies - Fastest Selling MMOG Ever

Posted by simoniker on 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."

    1. The word "media" is plural. Thus, "media have proven" is more correct.
    2. I don't know what "idle minded" means, though if it is a real term - or your own new invention - it would be "idle-minded" or "idleminded" (using the hyphen is usually correct, though stylistically you can choose to make it one word). I suspect you were reaching for "addle-minded" or "addle-brained."
    3. "Player" is singular, thus "their" (plural possessive) is difficult to justify in your second sentence.
    4. How do you "take a critical view of the content" without seeing the game? Do you simply entrust your judgement to game reviewers like a sheep?
    5. It's a bad idea to make fun of others' use of the English language (the mocking "Duh...") if you can't handle English syntax yourself.
