Anybody goin to play the new Star Wars Galaxies online game?

It looks like it is going to be pretty cool. Something like 8 or 9 planets, multiple races to choose from, etc..

I was thinking about playing, but then I read at a few places about how addicting these types of games can be...and decided I'd probably better not

Looks cool though, no doubt.

Very true.. they can become VERY addicting.... thats a struggle I deal with daily, because of America's Army

perations.. very fun game, very addicting!

I played everquest for about 6 months in college. I finally gave it up when I realized I was playing way too much and my girlfriend at the time, now my wife, was pissed that I was staying up really late almost everynight just to play the game.

It is very addicting. My boyfriend is beta testing it and that's all he does from the time he gets home until he tears himself away to get some sleep. It does look cool though. Lots of options.

I have been debating whether or not I should even look at the box of Everquest 2 when it comes out. I don't know if I should tempt myself. I think about how much time I wasted playing the game and I can't help but think of how stupid it was. I really enjoyed it though, so I don't know what to think.

The star wars one is tempting too.

You can just get so submerged into that world, you start neglecting your "real" life...hasn't happened to me that bad, but I know it would if I started playing a game like that.

Because you can't just play for 20 minutes here and there...you have to play for hours...just not good.

Which sucks, because man it looks like such a fun game.

Yeah, I Know what y'all mean.

I have never played any of the online games for that very reason.

It does look really cool and I am considering this game.

I have told myself that if I did start to play an online game I would only allow myself 2 hour sessions. The question is- do I have enough disipline to stay at 2 hour limit.

If you guys want to start playing a role playing game, we should all go get Never Winter Nights and get a group going. We were talking about it a while back on the "everything else" forum.

When does Galaxies come out?

No... I am a networking guy...

I just don't like sharing my PC with others.

I had it installed once and it seemed okay. I was informed that Kazaa allowed others to share files on your Kazaa Host ( I guess that would be the correct term). I didn't really like that idea.

To be honest I didn't look into the matter much as well because I didn't use Kazaa very often. So the guy could have been BS'n me.
