Sony is slowly pulling the helmet off of Darth Vader with Star Wars Galaxies - it'll be dead soon. The recent changes to the MMO rebuilt the class system completely making "Jedi" an available path from the beginning. Now, to accomodate the changes and desperately reach out to new users, Sony announced their plans to release a $19.99 introductory pack for people who want to check out Galaxies once and for all. The pack includes the retail game as well as the first expansion Jump to Lightspeed and ships Nov. 22. When Galaxies was first announced, I was so excited. An admitted Star Wars junkie, I thought that it would be the game that got me into MMOs, but I never even bothered to pick it up. Now, seeing how Sony has treated the online galaxy, I'm glad I didn't.
