Ive been keeping an eye on Star Wars Galaxies for some time now, as much of the rest of the gaming world has. I had an inkling that I might buy the game seeing as how , much hype its received . But that all changed drastically when I saw the subscription fee to play it . It goes as follows

1 month - $14.99
3 months - $41.99
6 months - $77.99
12 months - $143.99

That to me is OUTRAGIOUS (Maybe im just a cheap-o) . I expected at tops 8.00 to 10.00 a month which is still too high, but 14 !?. I mean, im not going to shell over 50 bucks for a game and then pay almost 150 to play the damn thing for a year. I could almost buy a gamecube and get windwaker or Metroid Prime for it (Both games scored just as high and higher than galaxies i belive) for the price id fork over just to PLAY Galexies. Now I have no clue what it takes to keep up maintenence and what not on the servers that will run this game but it cant be THAT much. Whos going to want to play a game for just 3 or six months if its as good as galaxies is supposed to be. Most would go for the full year, so on top of all the money they make off selling the game, they will be making 143.99 on top of that per year from most of these people. And keep in mind if people just just pay by the month its going to cost them alot more than 143.00 by the end of thier year. I dont know maybe this game will be good enough to warrent breaking the bank over but i for one will just buy KOTOR and play it as much as I want for free. KOTR is looking more and more remarkable every screen shot i see.

Ahem...(BREATHING SPIRATICALY) my little..rant is done
