SW Galaxies Delayed
Sat, Mar 15, 03 07:17:05 AM EST

LucasArts released this statement today:
Star Wars Galaxies(: An Empire Divided( is now entering the final phase of development, and everyone at LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment is pleased with the game's progress since the beta test program was initiated. We've received a good deal of constructive feedback and many positive suggestions that, if executed, will genuinely enhance game play for the hundreds of thousands of players who comprise the community.

To deliver the best possible massively multiplayer experience and ensure stability and breadth of content, LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment will delay the game's April 15 launch. This will enable us to invest more time into the beta program, and to solicit additional feedback from the tremendous fan base Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided has already developed.

In addition, we will not open phase three of the beta program until we feel the game is ready for a wider audience, which we anticipate will be within the next few weeks. A new release date for Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided will be announced shortly after the beginning of beta three.

We are sincerely grateful to the Star Wars Galaxies community for their tremendous support. We respectfully ask for continued understanding and patience during these final few months leading up to the launch of what we believe will be one of the best MMOs to date.

this is a bummer since Star Wars Galaxies will be my first MAJOR attempt to dive into a MMOG [rpg] game.

i guess its for the best. i would rather have a full, smoothly running version then a late beta release with tons of bugs and patches. with this game being so big and open, i'm sure it's taking time to test.

bah....no surprises here.....the fact that player owned vehicles and player run cities wont be initially included kinda ruined it for me anyhow. without those, this is just everquest with wookies.

This game is going to be awesome. I've seen tid bits and played tid bits.

No doubtable will be one of the biggest gaming experience of all time.

Worthy of having the Star Wars name attached to it.

be on the look out for a certain hidden Sith Lord when playing. Hee Hee

Is there any word on how much the per month subscription fee will be? I don't play games all that much anymore, so if the fee is too high, I doubt I'll buy the game even though I've been looking forward to it for months and months now.
