STAR WARS GALAXIES®: HOLIDAY SPECIAL
STAR WARS GALAXIES: HOLIDAY SPECIAL ®, ALL OF THE GAME'S EXPANSION PACKS, AND A SPECIAL DVD OF BONUS FEATURES COMBINE FOR THE LAMEST STAR WARS GALAXIES EXPERIENCE EVER RELEASED
Compton, CA – September 26, 2007 – LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment today announced Star Wars Galaxies: HOLIDAY SPECIAL , the most inclusive Star Wars Galaxies experience ever released. HOLIDAY SPECIAL is scheduled to be available at retail stores nationwide November 2006 for a suggested robbery of $29.99.
HOLIDAY SPECIAL features 1/50TH of the base game, Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided, along with all three of the game's expansions: Jump to Lightspeed ® , Rage of the Wookiees™, and Trials of Obi-Wan™. In addition, Star Wars Galaxies subscribers will automatically receive a series of game updates that are scheduled to be released by LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment throughout 2006, filled with new bugs, nerfs and gameplay enhancements.
In addition to the hours of gameplay included in HOLIDAY SPECIAL , the game is also slated to include a bonus DVD filled with slapped together content including:
• An exclusive in-game item for use while playing the game – a personal PvP One Shot One Kill Death Ray and one Death Ray Sheild;
• A slide show Star Wars Galaxies memories and never-before-seen nerfs, all set to hit you in-game;
• Where are they now with Star Wars Galaxies production staff, detailing the incredible disaster, mistakes and let downs of the game;
• Excerpts from the unknown “From Pencil to Pixel” book that chronicles the failures of Star Wars Galaxies;
• In-game movie featurettes produced by Ex-Star Wars Galaxies fans;
• Never seen before cinematic trailers and commercial television ads produced for Star Wars Galaxies;
• A demo of the popular PC MMO game WOW™.
• Bonus Quest featuring your favorite wookie Chewbaccas family Maula his wife, Ichy his father and his son Fluffy. Can you get him back for lifeday in time?
• New in game music by Jefferson Starship
“For the first time, all of the Star Wars Galaxies gameplay is in one 3.5 inch floppy disk, giving you, or the Star Wars® Dumbass on your holiday gift list something that doesnt make you read or think, the perfect way to stumble right into Star Wars Galaxies, Without all the hassels of plot, and purpose and immediately start owning noobs,” said Nancy MacIntyre, vice-president and worthless bitch of global sales and marketing for LucasArts. “LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment have been hardly working over the past year to continue to wreck and destroy the Star Wars Galaxies gameplay, for an experience that is both meaningless and pointless, and Star Wars Galaxies: HOLIDAY SPECIAL ®, is the sum total of that effort.”
About Star Wars Galaxies
Star Wars Galaxies is one of the biggest jokes in online experiences, screwing gamers of all ages and skill levels together in the ultimate Star Wars scam. Jump into poorly half made, bug infested adventures that lead you to Iconic Star Warsy locations including Jabba's Palace and the infamous Mos Eisley Cantina. Begin this nightmare aboard the Iconic Millennium Falcon helping Han Solo and Chewbacca to get a quest NPC to spawn. Along the way, pass other Star Wars characters on bugged missions that span across the galaxy. Faction Hop with the Rebels to fight against the Galactic Empire, or respect to the Dark Side and crush the Rebel scum. Even comatose adventurers can seek online players in space or on the ground as a Bounty Hunter, Smuggler, Jedi or a couple of other basic Iconic Star Warsy professions.
Throughout 2006 and into 2007 LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment are scheduled to remove a host of old content and features from Star Wars Galaxies through a series of vicious lies and misdirection. Featuring such things as high-valued enhancements, rulesets that governed all aspects of gameplay like decay and death penalties, a viable economy, crafted goods that required reading or skill, a character profession system based on skills without levels, Rare unlockable Jedi, Anything considered rare uber or hard as hell to get and your story as you choose to live it and replace it with new high-level bugged fetch quest series, combat levels, a new rushed and unfit ruleset designed for wow clones, a bugged and halfassed expertise system that offers specials instead of skill, imaginary(sims bombs traps) all are the same so someone dont go get better ones and never run out and cant be better than others just cuz you spend time getting good equipment(studies show SWG players are 80% retarded and wouldnt be fair to ask others to try), most of the tedious numbers and words, and epic, server-wide online-player searches, these downgraded adventures provide players reheated content to debug and no way to influence the entire Galaxy.

awww...i am sorry....that was ---> <--- this close to being funny
but please try again
Holiday Special?
You mean Princess Leia is going to sing again?
Didn't they do this once... and said there would be no sequel?
There will never be another SWG expansion. One had been originally planned for Spring 2006, and was actually "mostly finished" before being canned when the sub numbers did the NGE Death Dive.
Wow... you have a LOT of free time lol
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.
lol
There will NEVER... Repeat... NEVER be another SWG expansion.
I haven't seen a satire of SWG that good since poetdancer's posts back on the old SWG boards.

hahaha classic
It's all very funny, but seriously, SWG is about as likely to get another expansion as I am to get a call from Jessica Alba asking for a date.
The numbers aren't there. There haven't been any expansions since 2005 because the numbers show that they'd not make back the money it'd cost.
As a matter of fact, the TOOW expansion lost money.
Hah... That was pretty good.
The ToOW wasn't live long enough to gain / loose money.

this place is gonna blow!!!
