    Well, I was an Everquest player for four years, on and off. I had a Gnome Wizard that I liked to play. I really like MMORPGs.

    So, Star Wars Galaxies came out a few days ago (June 26) and I got my collector's edition.

    This game is great. You can play so many different characters, and you're in the Star Wars universe.

    It costs $14.95 a month to play, which is fair imho because it is such a great game (and Everquest is $12.95 a month). It requires a 900 MHz computer or faster, and a 32 MB T&L video card.

    When I first heard about Galaxies, I nearly shat, it sounded too good to be true, my brother got on the beta, and it was really really neat, but severely lacking, and it got old really fast. I hope the full release is more engaging, the biggest problem with the beta was that there were only like 3 types of quests available

    I used to joke with my friends about Galaxies, saying that they day it came out, my life would end, becuase I'd play it so damn much, but I haven't picked it up, and I don't know if I will, $15/month is a little steep for me, and I'm not even that much of a gamer any way)

    but do keep us(me) posted, I would very much like to hear a follow-up post a month from now, once you have really gotten your feet wet.

    I am actually quite interested in what is up with that game as well. Currently, I am kinda of weary of the $15 a month fee. Like wrong robot said, be sure to post an update about a month from now and let us all know what is up.

    Bleh I could just never justify the whole pay to play scheme. Sixty bucks off the shelf, and then monthely fees? What kind of freak are you that you have hundreds of dollars to waste on one game?

    You can also play it on X-Box but you need a broadband internet connection instead of a dial-up internet connection. I only got a dial-up connection so I can't play it.

    Hears what I heard about the new Final Fantasy game:

    It will need the Playstation 2 Hard Drive which will come out about the same time as the game.
    Not sure but probably will need broad ban connection but might be playable with dial-up.
    I think the last I heard it will be out late this year or early next year but you know how some times games get delayed.

    Thats what I know so far.

    Reminds me of how my cousin who used to work for the M&M Chocolate company got free samples of new candy and let everyone in the family try some.
