Yeah same here Henry -- I was just getting into a good routine of exercising and keeping active and was commenting to my wife that "for once I'm not going to be tied to the computer all summer"... when THIS happened!
From what i understand, the SW:G servers won't be up until tomorrow between 12-4 PM EST. What a surpise. I wonder if they will use the excuse " We did not think there would be that much demand for it, thats why we crashed". http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/starwarsgalaxiesaned/news_6030662.html
I enjoyed the Beta. I thought there was alot there to enjoy and more to come. I won't be buying it right away because my computer is shot and I need to build another.
I did preorder it but I'm selling it to a friend. I'll be spending my time in the meanwhile beta testing FF XI for PS2 because at least that system still works...
