Star Wars Galaxies 2: Seamless Zones

While waiting for Age of Conan to arrive, I thought I’d delve more into my thoughts about what I thought Star Wars Galaxies should have done.  At this point, I’d be happy if it were any space MMO that could pull off some of the stuff I’m mentioning, but Star Wars would of course take …



Age of Conan: Pre-order

With a little more digging, I found that there is a special offer you may be interested in if you are planning on buying Age of Conan anyway. If you pre-order the game you will get your choice of two mounts, a Killer Rhino or the War Mammoth which you’ll be able to mount after …

Star Wars Galaxies

Most of my game experience has been first person shooters.  My first venture into MMORPG’s was Star Wars Galaxies.  Needless to say this game was very anticipated from early development.  The feature list, screenshots and game play videos released by the dev team were mouth watering.  But the game opening was less than stellar.  Many …
