Grrr.... Star Wars Galaxies

[Doggiedog]

It's been 9 hours since I've gotten it and I still can't play!

It took me 6 hours to finally get through and register. I was able to play about 3 minutes before it crashed and their servers crashed.

What a wasted night.

 

[iwearnosox]

I told you so.

It's going to get worse..

 

[EXman]

did it get released today?

i think I might wait a bit so they can work out the kinks

 

[Doggiedog]

I bought it on impulse.

I played Everquest for a year until my wife started nagging.

I was thinking of buying Planetside but felt it would be kind of redundant having BF1942 and MOHAA. When I went to the store, they had one copy of SWG left so I just snatched it up without thinking.

Oh well. I'm sure I'll enjoy it over time though.

wait till the floodgates open and all the non beta-testers get in. Remember what happened in Anarchy Online when it first came out? It's sad that none of these companies are learning from other companies mistakes

 

[hevnsnt]

ghey, ghey, Ghey.

 

[Feldenak]

I learned my MMORPG early adoption lesson from WWIIOL....never again will I be the first to join a new MMORPG.

 

[gotsmack]

its too expensive to play, $12 a month for 12 months? It should be $9.

I might hold out for World of Warcraft.

 

[MacBaine]

What's that?

 

[Gunther]

What is sad about today is that it wasn't that there was a rush of people, but instead they had REALLY bad luck. The registration process was bad because their load balancer was messed up. And now all the servers are down because their oracle database is having problems. Hopefully everything will be okay tomorrow when I wake up

I managed to get a character made, and actually get into the game for about 2 minutes. My guy looks exactly like Terry Bradshaw. LOL

 

[Codewiz]

LOL my friend was a beta tester. The servers never really got completely stable during the beta. He bought the game yesterday and knew he would not get to play for a few days at least.

Dont have to go as far back as Anarchy Online. Look at Shadowbane... I was a beta tester and pre-ordered the game, once I got it (release day) I have been trying to have a day without lag or crash but it just never got better. Thats why I quit a few weeks ago... Not worth my time or money

Actually Asheron's Call had a relatively smooth startup. I was impressed....even moreso now after SWG, WWIIOL, and Anarchy OL....

amish

I've been pretty happy with Planetside thus far. Especially now the game is pretty stable and definately a blast to play.

Oh and, btw, it's not at all like MOHAA or BF1942 - it's with 1000x more people, easily, and you fight battles where litterally HUNDREDS of people on each side are fighting for control of a single base. THen you get the cool things, like air strikes and hot drops... man that game is a blast.

 

[Noirish]

It's better than yesterday.
However, I still can't get pass the character creation process...
They suck.

that's my plan. I never got into any MMORPGs but after playing WoW for an hour at E3 I was totally impressed.

 

[Chadder007]

Ill just keep playing my Return to Castle Wolfenstein....

 

[Dedpuhl]

I got my collector's copy yesterday. I am reading the instructions and strategy guide today. I may register tomorrow.

No rush cause I know it will be there when I'm ready

 

[EXman]

this true that it is a limited release for a few months or will you be able to buy it regular thoughout the next few weeks?

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

I bought the first copy of Star Wars Galaxies from the local Best buy. I got the collecter's edition.

that was the rumor i heard. the game won't even be worth picking up for 6 months tho

 

[shiner]

It will get better. I was one of the first people in DOAC and the first couple of days were awful. After the first week it was fairly smooth sailing.

 

[LordJezo]

Great quote from Penny Arcade:

I decided right away that I wanted to be a bounty hunter and so with blaster in hand I began working my way up that particular skill tree. This involved a lot of shooting of rats, bugs and crabs. At one point on Tatooine I was standing next to a mission terminal waiting for my turn to use it when I saw a large wookie run past me firing wildly over his shoulder as a tiny crab no bigger than a dinner plate chased him through town. How sad I thought to myself.

daoc wasn't this bad.

combat sucks in SWG. really, the penny arcade blurb about people running away from mobs while shooting them is how you exp in this game. its ricockulous. plus the interface blows complete monkey testicles.
