HunterFett1 Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 Hi guys!!! Did you miss me!!! On second thought don't answer that... Anyway, I heard someone say something about a monthly fee, is that true??? Is there a fee for xbox??? Anyway, how is every one??? Hi, new people!!! :jango:
Taos Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 Hey Hunter......I'm happy to see that you are back. No, there will not be a monthly fee for the xbox version. All you will have to pay is your monthly xbox fee. Me, I've been busy, job interview and traveling.....anyways.
Katarn07 Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 You're thinking of Galaxies I think, the MMORG coming out this year. KotOR is better just for the fact there is no fee. I have no job to play Galaxies...
Com Raven Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 There is no fee whatsoever with this game... And while I dedicate my time to a Knights site, I think Galaxies will have a much bigger impact... In fact, I think it's one of the most ambitious projects ever...
Notion Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 Who's going to buy it? Well let's see... You have the EverQuest fans looking for something different, new, and exciting... You have the casual Star Wars fans looking for a good social experience... You have the little attention cravers who have wanted to become Jedi Knights since age 6... You have those who really disliked the gameplay in KOTR (for whatever reason) and want something to revive their SW RPG thirst... You have those who look at any online game and must have it... You have those who are really interested in ambitious projects and buy games off of the inspiration they generate... You have those looking for a good Star Wars chat room (and use the game for it)... Shall I go on? As far as the most ambitious project ever, no, probably not (It's design roots can easily be traced back to EQ). I would have to give that to Fable. But hey it's Star Wars, people will buy it, and love it.
-=Hooded-Jedi=- Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 No i dont think i will have time for Galaxies unless i buy it for the summer for whenever it comes out...plus thats really stupid for paying monthly fees just to play a game for a sever. Just a waste of money and ill be into Kotor more...but the only mmorpg im thinkin about buying is shadowbane, that is what i call an mmorpg even though galaxies have better graphics.
Swat Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 so sad that i can't buy SWG bcos of the monthly fee
Com Raven Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 You don't pay just for the servers... In fact, there's so much more to running a MMORPG than most people think... For who will buy it? Over 100.000 people registered at the Official Site speaks a clear language... And Shadowbane, I don't think it has much to compete with Galaxies...
Tyrion Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 I will never play a MMOROG. Never. Heard of too many addicts..and I have an addiction to games as it is...
Carth Onassi Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 I think galaxies will be a very great game for the people that can pay. but KoTOR will be the perfect game for those uf us that cant pay for the monthly service.
Swat Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 exactly, a long wait though. i'll be staying in this forum until then
Com Raven Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 Oh, some of us won't have to wait very long...
Iceman Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 Originally posted by Com Raven Oh, some of us won't have to wait very long... Oh really... Something you're not telling us, Raven? Hmm...?
Taos Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 I think he is referring to the upcoming Xbox release........those of us with them won't have to wait much longer.
-=Hooded-Jedi=- Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 Ya they are getting it first cuz of the XBOX...damn xbox!
Aerothorn Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Galaxies is so ambitious its bound to fail in some aspect. I remember DAOC got great reviews. I played it. It sucked horribly. The combat system was: walk around, click on button, it automaticlly fights for you, repeat. LAME. If they are shooting for the Everquest crowd then the project is already screwed. I'd like to play it if it works out, though unless SWG has a super great combat or political system I'd rather play Planetside.
Com Raven Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 I think you fail to see what it is about... Galaxies is not about combat... Planetside is shallow... No economy or stuff...
Swat Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 SWG is abt achieving something in the star wars universe
Taos Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Since this thread doesn't really talk about Knights anymore and I don't want to close it........it's good discussion, I'm moving it to the Atho Cantina.
Aerothorn Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Originally posted by Com Raven I think you fail to see what it is about... Galaxies is not about combat... Planetside is shallow... No economy or stuff... First off, how do you know Planetside is shallow? Are you a beta tester? No? Then you don't know. Considering the vast array of vehicle, armor, weapontry, bases, and tactics, I would hardly call it shallow. And yes, it has an economy. And as for Galaxies not being about combat, its not as combat focused as other MMORPGs, yes, and I plan on being a non combat person if I played, but combat is still an important aspect, and the main way to level up. If the combat system is sucky, its more work then play, and I don't wanna pay a monthly fee for it. Hopefully you actualy have to aim and such, lock on combat systems suck.
Rogue15 Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 I think galaxies will be awesome, that and combined with xbox live's headset so you can talk to other players will make it really cool. I'm just hoping that I don't need a credit card to do pay for it.
