Yea I applied for beta in Feb. but didn't get the call. Suppose to come out in April or so but rumors I hear we will be lucky to see it availble to the public for at least a few more months.

I hope it's better than EA's EARTH AND BEYOND.... E & B sucked IMHO.

Star Wars rules my life

Obviously.

I started playing E & B a few weeks ago and it's ok. Sort of sucks in many aspects. SWG looks much better. SWG states not only ship play but also first shooter type action as well as owning stores and what not and building land based communities. It's a tag team with Lucas arts and Sony/Everquest developers so it seems to ahve a lot of potential.

What I hated about E&B was about 60% of your time was spent commuting between missions without much happening.....

This game looks bad ass! I applied for beta too but never got an answer. Anyone already know what species and profession they are gonna be yet? I am gonna go with a Mon Calamari Droid Engineer and then when the space expansion comes out hopefully move to Ship Engineer. Already thinking of a forming a smugglers guild.... jeez this game is gonna be the best. :thumbsup

hahaha you can be a farmer!
God damn i'm gonna pay to grow space turnips!!!

Saw the demo for this at the Star Wars Celebration convention in Indianapolis last May. They had it up on a giant screen and the guy doing the demo was a Bothan running around on Tattooine. Looked cool as hell. Graphics are top notch.

Cool thing is you can't just start out as Jedi Knight. If you could then that is all there would be running around in the game. They said you have to do certain combinations of things to be able to become a Jedi. Should make things interesting.

How many people are going to go hunting a Krayt Dragon as soon as they get to Tattooine? :1orglaugh Going to be a lot of corpses in the desert!

get a life you nerds.

From the people I talked to that also applied for beta and have expercience being betas for games like EverQuest and AO etc. In other words more or less across the board gamers for most online multi player games. A lot of consideration from what I hear is placed, when selecting betas, on what system you use, video cards, sound cards, chips etc. From what I hear in beta they want to involve the most users with a broad spectrum of hardware so as to test compatibility over multiple platforms. From there they look for the people with the most beta experience etc. So in other words if you have a P4 with a G-Force 4 you are going to be in the bulk of applicants. If you have some off the wall hardware, or low end stuff, you have a better chance I guess so as to test how the game works on differnt systems.

:1orglaugh

Why you lowdown stuck-up scruffy-looking nerfherder!

That's on my to do list. Thanks for reminding me.

Just a warning:

When Everquest came out I played that for 2 years. When EQ came out I was making 20000 Bucks a month, when I finally stopped playing I was at 5000 a month. Well Adult enabled me to play day and night but I nearly pissed away my business. I will never play a game like that again.

so you are saying that whyle you were playing EQ you were making $20k a month and as soon as you stopped playing you started making only $5k a month ?

where do i sign up for EQ ?

Self control speaks volumes.

self control is overrated.

I signed up to be a beta-tester about a month ago... Still no reply.

Ah well, I'll be looking forward to it.

That game looks great. I'd play it if I had time.

Here's another one that will probably get some of my time.

They say that if you want to become a jedi it's gonna be near impossible and you will suffer permadeath. Also if you become a jedi master and you die you'll become a blue thingy ghost floating around and being like "Luuuuuuuuuke! LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE!!!

Who are you calling scruffy looking?

Chewie pull out !! You ain't doing any good back there !!

hehehe....

LOL!

I will smuggle those turnips for ya! We will make bookoo credits! The Hutts will be green with envy! :1orglaugh

LOL, never thought there was a whole underground StarWars community on GFY.

Btw, i fucking love the NJO EU.
Vong kick fucking ass :BangBang:

I've been beta testing for SWG since the first round of like 250 people, the game has come a long way since then but still needs a lot of work. Don't hold your breath waiting for it in April.

I'll say this much - it KICKS ASS :)

HEHEHE....

Looks great!
