darthbong Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 I think it'd be really kool if they did something like what microsofts (wow i never thought I'd say that sentece) doing with 'xbox live' where you pay a yearly fee rather than monthlys.

James Brophy Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 is it true that you have to pay 15 dollars a month to play the game! also will there be a single player so you dont have to pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Brophy Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 i say we use the first free month on the game to kill all the staff members and start a rebellion if they dont abolish the price or lower it we all just dont play!!!! theres no flys on me!!!!

MikeC Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 There is no single player version of the game. It is online only. That's the whole point. The world is driven by the many players. You will have to pay a monthly fee, but we don't know exactly what it will be. It will most likely be $10-$15 per month. There is a good article at http://www.swgalaxies.net on why the fee is required and what the money goes to if you want more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewok Hunter Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 the $15 was mentioned by a staion member, not a dev. so we still have no idea what the offical price will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KageroNINJA Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Anarchy Online was $12.95 per month so I would expect SWG to be at least that much. Also, while the SWG software allows you to play SWG on your PC, your characters and account information will be saved on seprate SWG servers that you pay Lucas Arts or whoever to opperate and maintain. Because of this, their is no single player mode. May the force be with you, because it eludes me:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith 8 Posted July 11, 2002 Author Share Posted July 11, 2002 well it is a bit pricy.... i only hope they will not go to 15$.. cause that is to much.. my budget allows me a max of 12$ a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle d'Tana Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 How much do you deserve? I become 650 SFR per month that are about 400$.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunClown Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 An official FAQ stated the monthly fee would be more likely something like US$12.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicious Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 $15 american is way too much, the exchange rate is really hard on us canadians. An expensive rate will stop me from getting the game. It's hard to hold a job here and all i get pays a pittance. Unless the rate is affordable i wont bother with the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourGod Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 i've talked to a few people who have worked for lucas himself (mainly my cousin who's met him on many ocassions), and although he does do sum good ****, he's a greedy bastard....no one who works for him gets good pay, jus the ability to say "i work for star wars!!" or sum **** like that...so, with all due honesty, i wouldn't be surprised if he pulled sumthin like Norin Radd said... I'm thinking they are going to give a special introductory price. Maybe the first two months free, then when you are a certified addict after two months, and you have developed your character and made alliances, they will hit you with the charges. but the game looks badass, so i'm probly gonna play it anyway:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Brophy Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 well the game will have thousands playing right, so if other companys see this they could but thier andverts on shop etc then they could say if we advertise on your shop we will pay the fees for you to play the game! good idea?

setsuko Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Since everything in the game is technically property of Verant/Lucasart, ingame commercials are a tough legal issue. Fact is, the entire legal issue of who has the right of what in MMORPG is very confused, and more than a little volative. So ingame commercials is nothing you should try unless you want to face loads and loads of legal work, and perhaps a lawsuit or two. Yes, it's a strange and scary world we live in.

FunClown Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 $15 a month is hearsay. An official FAQ stated that they were aiming for a US$12.99 monthly fee. Look at the bright side at least thats less than US$13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRaNis Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 So Wraith8. Do you say that you can't play if the fee is on...lets say... 13,5$??? ---------- Fear. Fear attracts the Fearfull.

Yoda_623 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I believe they said it was going to cost 10-15$. I don't think a price has been set yet though. I'm really lookin forward to it too. Beta started on the 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke101 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 um, this doesn't really belong here, should of gone to the star wars galaxies forum or to http://www.starwarsgalaxies.com and post on the station.com forum. just to let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DudEhead Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 like someone already posted on this forum: if u still live at home with ur parents and stuff, just work a bit around the house and u'll come up with the fee quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zindell Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 <I hate games that you have to pay a monthly fee, I'm a very static player in games, I'll play it alot for a short bit of time, and then rarely play for a long period of time. I personally don't buy these type of games because they waste my money but galaxies looks so cool oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
