Anyone Beta testing it?

Anyone have any info on how it looks?

I've gotten one review so far, and it was far from complimetary.

I may give it a try unless I hear it's god aweful.

Trying to play it.

Can't disclose details. I'll have plenty to say when they lift the NDA.

Dowding,

Not talking about Star Wars Galaxies here...

But do you see your time in AH increasing, Deacreasing, or Staying the same, come...oh say July of this year?

Well I find hard to find the time to play online these days. I don't play AH much anymore - I'm waiting for AH2. I haven't found much to occupy my online time, gamewise, so little will change. I also seem to get bored easily by new games - I bought F1 2002 and it is now on ebay after only playing it for a couple of hours. I also find that many new games fail to live up to expectations, such as Europa 1400, which is going to Ebay shortly.

Other than that, I'm excited by what Star Wars Galaxies might bring of course.

Many game outlets are listing SWG as being released at the end of June.

Taking that into account, and the following formula:

SWG = Time spent playing SWG
AOG = Time spent playing All Other Games
C = A constant

SWG + AOG = C

I predict that come about September, AOG will decrease. :D

Speaking of MMORPGs - I was looking at Ebay and there are accounts changing hands for hundreds of pounds! What's with that? I was also reading on the SWG board of a guy with 10 (!) Everquest accounts. You gotta feel sorry for that guy.

I don't know if its hype or not, but wasn't there a story of an addicted player in Everquest committing suicide when his hard-earned player was quashed?  Or is that an Urban Legend?

Cant say much about SWG because of the NDA, but I can talk about other games.

My "other games" time wont be decreasing.

I sold my Ultima Online account for $150.00 a while back.

I was a mediocre player at best. Had 4 different character, but only 2 were decent.

I've seen accounts go for $500.00.

Funny thing to me, really. Buying an account on a game like this is like buying a jigsaw puzzle that's already been completed. Why bother?
