I've checked out the Galaxies sites and must admit the prospect of paying a monthly fee is offputting. I think Biowares Knights of the Old Republic might be a more viable option for me. And judging Biowares previous releases it should be a classic game.

Offputting? How so?

 

Personally, the older I get the less I can understand why people cannot pay $10 a month. First of all, it barely covers their expenses.. it costs a LOT of money for all those servers that are needed to play Galaxies and all the bandwidth that it uses.

 

Second of all, $10 a month is nothing -- go to a fast-food place for lunch and after 2 lunches you will have paid your monthly fee.

When iwill be the KoTOR be released?

Jedilgor how are such games as galaxies are ussually paid????

Dont get me wrong, I would pay the money without blinking, but I would have to get the money through the household finance minister (wife). The price will be an interesting factor especially for other countries eg exchange rates, in Australia I could possibly be paying $30 a month.

..and I live in Mongolia...guess i'll be selling my herd....

Jahled, wouldnt a herd in Mongolia be classed as Fast food, therefore you would only have to sell 2 beasts a month and you can play!

$10, that's what? £8? That's not that much if you're playing every night.

ah..... what about that herds? selling llamas you know ya? What about single version games like Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR)? when it may be released?

...emmm...I hadn't thought of the subject with such economic skill...

what about selling beast's milk , silk /fur or even horns or muck left after them ? it would be easier and it is better watch from the point as beast is a money factory not money themselves...
