WorthPlaying has published the first of a series of articles dealing specifically with MMOG's. The focus of this week is on SWG, and it takes the form of a status report on how the game has been faring so far, but even more specifically on the Jedi issues.

Unfortunately, by that point in time the economy was already a mess because credits were entering the game far faster than they were leaving. Which meant everyone was quickly becoming millionaires. Remember Han Solo being all giddy because Luke and Ben offered him 17,000 credits to get them to Alderaan? In Galaxies, 17k credits can fall out your ears when you sneeze. The addition of the Holocrons into an already inflated economy caused the few monsters who dropped them to become perma-camped, and the Holos themselves going for a cool million a piece on the open market.
