| Star Wars Galaxies Update @ Gamespy |
|
Gamespy has posted the first of a planned series of periodic updates to check the state of play in Star Wars Galaxies. This first edition is pretty scathing, criticising poor balance and continued lack of content:<blockquote><em>There's still an extraordinary dearth of content. While Sony has added new things, much of what has been added is more-of-the-same that players have already become bored with. For example, I was thrilled when I learned that there were going to be exploration missions and Scout missions available in town. Unfortunately, said missions were the same dull FedEx quests I'd done a million times. "Kill 50 Corellian butterflies for 1,500 credits", "Go here and scout this location for me for 1,200 credits"? I'm sorry, sending me to run fifty miles to a randomly chosen spot on Corellia doesn't qualify as content, not when Xbox players (and soon, PC) can save the entire galaxy in Knights of the Old Republic.</em></blockquote>You can find the article <a href="http://www.gamespy.com/articles/october03/galaxies2/index2.shtml" target="_blank">here</a>. |

I really shouldn't say"I told ya so" but "I TOLD YA SO"Sometimes it just takes longer for some people to realize that paying almost 15$ a month to beta test is a bit absurd.I got suckered in to paying to beta test this mmorpg when it was still officially being "beta tested" and I knew then(along with alot of other people I might add) that at release it would only be a continuation of the beta.The promises Sony and Lucas Arts made were all lies and their only concern was cashing in on the "Star Wars" mystique. |

I'm very happy that Gamespy is keeping track of SWG. I was in the beta and the first month of "gold" (which indeed was really a payed beta) and cancelled my account due to lack of content. missing game elements and ongoing bugs.
Someday I might return to SWG because I think it has potential. But not in the state it is in right now.
I'll be following Gamespy's reports to see if/when it is worth to come back.
In the meantime I can reccomend DAoC as a good alternative for a mmorpg. Especially with the new expansion, Trials of Atlantis, comming out.
I've beta-tested it and it's very stable and will make a nice addition. Not sci-fi like SWG but the best game in it's genre I've seen up to date. |

I'm still upset I paid for the beta. I was waiting for a long time for a good new MMORPG to play, and so I was upset that way too.
I just recently went back into DAoC to try a new class. I guess I'm waiting for Eq2 or WoW or whatever comes out first. |

I was in beta, but i never bought the game because of the same things you are quiting it for. I got caught up in the mega hype and was drooling all over the SWG game until i logged into the beta and figured out that its garbage. Admittedly it might have potential, but i dont have faith in the game (or the designers) like i used to have, so i highly doubt i would give it a second chance. |
