Thanks to GameGossip for the news that the Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed expansion has been confirmed for an October 27th release. The expansion adds space combat, two new player races, and a bunch of new emotes.

    As a veteran SWG player, my advice is to stay the hell away from SWG and it's expansion for at least 3 months. It is extremely likely that the bugs that this expansion ships with and the exploits it makes possible will make the game suck even more for several months. The core game still suffers from serious problems that were known in its beta and have been irritating customers since launch.

    They are trying to get this product to market before EQ2 and WoW divide and conquer the MMO retail dollar, and from SOE, an early or on time launch means you are paying to be in beta.

    Agreed. When the developers admitted that they didn't put a lot of thought into the Galactic Civil War I knew this game was an implosion waiting to happen.

    And now they're going to try and add space combat? Be afraid, be very afraid.
