Title: "Free" Starport Galactic Empires RPG
Post by: Maxximus on February 05, 2004, 07:21:21 pm

Starport Galactic Empires is a new MMORPG that charges money for game items, not access to the online action.

This is not an endorsement, only letting you know about it.

You\'d almost think that Sony thought of it... OH, wait, you have to buy the expansion pack for new areas so yeah... yeah i guess it\'s the same.



PFF
By the looks of it it\'s a wannabe MMOG p2p.

For some reason, to me it sounds like Blacknova Traders with a better interface...and they charge money for items?  I don\'t remember reading that anywhere in the description...  ?(

/me pull the wood axe out of the back of Xandria\'s head

Scroll to the bottom to read a bare mention of game items for cash.

It looks like it could be a cool game for one mission with your guild members. It\'s free and you don\'t have to buy the game items, apparently. Anything for a break from crystal hunting!  ;(

Dig that crazy Velour spacesuit in the homepage pic.  :D

So the game is totally free, and there\'s just an option to get uber-buffs if you donate money.  From your first post I thought you were saying it was a game like Project Entropia (it\'s \'free\', but everything in the game costs credits, which you need to purchase with real money :( )

I\'ll have to put it on my list of \'new games to try when I get around to it\' :P

Hmm, you\'re right, DragonFist. Who wants a free mug when $20 bucks will get you a galk!  8o

Well, my guild thought Spaceports was pretty funny stuff. But when I suggested we play a mission they thought I had been smoking some funny stuff. So, looks like I\'m Yliakum-bound. But, I play Quake 3 to relieve PS boredom. A Rocket Launcher frag is almost as satifying as assasinating people.

Hey Xandria, I was just kidding about the wood axe thing.

When I sell it I\'ll give you taste - promi$e. :P
