Description: Star Wars Galaxies is a massively multiplayer online role-playing
game (MMORPG) that lets you assume the role of nearly any type of
character in the Star Wars universe and interact with thousands
of other players' characters as well as established characters from
the movies. You can be a shady smuggler, like Han. You can be a
cold bounty hunter, like Boba Fett. You can even be a Jedi, like
Luke. You can create and develop any character you like and seek
out adventure and excitement as you see fit. Best of all, the game
never ends--it persists and changes online, even when you're not
playing. Interaction with other players is what this game is all
about; you can get together with your Rebel friends and raid an
Imperial bunker, or work with other Imperial troops to squash Rebel
scum. You can instruct young Jedi in the ways of the Force, or you
can work with other bounty hunters to hunt down outlaw Jedi and
bring them to justice. Or you can manage a cantina or parts shop
and marvel at the galaxy's vast variety of heroes, scum, and villainy.
This game is due for PC sometime in late 2002; start saving up those
vacation days now.
