Star Wars: Galaxies - delayed

Venom

From the SW:G site...............

"Star Wars Galaxies is now entering the final phase of development, and everyone at LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment is pleased with the game's progress since the beta test program was initiated. We've received a good deal of constructive feedback and many positive suggestions that, if executed, will genuinely enhance gameplay for the hundreds of thousands of players who comprise the community.
To deliver the best possible massively multiplayer experience and ensure stability and breadth of content, LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment will delay the game's April 15 launch. This will enable us to invest more time into the beta program, and to solicit additional feedback from the tremendous fan base Star Wars Galaxies has already developed.

"In addition, we will not open phase three of the beta program until we feel the game is ready for a wider audience, which we anticipate will be within the next few weeks. A new release date for Star Wars Galaxies will be announced shortly after the beginning of beta three.

"We are sincerely grateful to the Star Wars Galaxies community for their tremendous support. We respectfully ask for their continued understanding and patience during these final few months leading up to the launch of what we believe will be one of the best MMOs to date."


From what I have heard about how unstable, empty and just bad this game is in beta atm, this can only be good news. Iv been told that this extra time will only be used to get the game up to working spec and will not have any of the dropped items like player cities, Dark Jedi etc. added.

Their delaying the release so they dont end up reeasing a sub standard product, thats fine with me, better that than making a mess of the whole thing on release.

It nice to see more companies doing this, then rushing a “product”, lets hope it means at release its going to be an improved game

However if the final product is still a buggy unplayable heap of camel excrement, there will be hell to pay
