Washington Post on Star Wars Galaxies Changes

spartan7891 writes "The Washington Post, by way of MSNBC, is running a story on how fans are outraged at the newest changes made to Star Wars Galaxies. As one player states, 'The game for me probably will be a lost love. Sort of like seeing your spouse with Alzheimer's. Outwardly, everything appears the same as it always has, but you know that beneath the surface, things will never be the same.' There's even rumors of LucasArts being so angry about the changes that they may cancel SOE's contract." Yeah ... if a major newspaper covers what you did in a patch, you probably did something wrong.

Question

I want to start playing Planetside, as I've tried it at a few friends' places and I enjoyed it. Should I go for it now, or should I wait for this free grunt program thing mid-month to try it out?

The game is so cheap... $19.99... and it comes with one free month which is worth $13 or so, so you're going to pay an extra $7 over one month's subscription to try it out. After that, you can cancel or just play the free account for 12 months.

I say buy it. It's great. You'll want to get in early to get the jump on all the free account guys who are going to join soon. They'll be like free EXP for the first month or so.

Here's a fan made trailer.

I know it's ground combat... but will this re-ignite the dormant Tribes fan inside of me?

and I'm definitely cashing in my Target gift certificate and scoring this tonight.
