Pile On Star Wars Galaxies?

Thanks to GameSpy for their new feature called Star Wars Galaxies: Pile On!, where-in a multitude of GameSpy employees, and not just editors, either praise or trash their personal experiences playing Lucasarts' PC MMORPG. As the intro says, "We pretty much agree that Galaxies was the most ambitious MMORPG since Ultima Online. What we can't agree on was if it was released too soon, whether it's the second coming, or a big empty planet of bugs and tedium." The game doesn't seem to be getting any less controversial as time goes on, does it?

    I'll just be happy to see it over in Europe. By the time it gets over here, the Jedi code will have been hacked, and the servers will be inundated with double-saber wielding nonces going by 'humourous' names such as 'Luke A55reamer' and 'Hung So-low'.

    When IS the UK release date anyway? Amazon have it listed as 26th December, but that's just piss taking.

      Yeah, its due here in Australia just before the return of Christ, just after everlasting peace is declared in the Middle East. On the (albeit small) bright side, at least I have more time to save for a decent comp., and maybe a lot of the problems discussed will be thrashed out by then (crosses fingers). Man, I've been using Lotus so much I just tried to press 'Shift-Esc' to save and exit.
      *sigh*
