Star Wars Galaxies: Shug_Ninx speaks on Premium Package Contents

Shug_Ninx stopped by the Star Wras Galaxies boards today to talk about what will be included in the Star Wars Galaxy Premium version:

Hey all -
I know some of you have been waiting for the contents of the premium package for Star Wars Galaxies to be announced, so here they are. Let us know what you think.

The first thing you need to know is that this Special Edition version of Star Wars Galaxies is going to be limited in quantity. We're only making about 75,000 of them, and then that's it. And nothing in the box will be available through any other channels, ever.

I also want to let you know that we fought pretty hard for this Special Edition because we wanted to commemorate the launch of the game with something cool. More importantly, we wanted to give the fans something related to the game. In many ways, the Special Edition is kind of our present to you (though, we're still charging for it...).

The Special Edition includes the full version of the game along with the following collection of exclusive items:

*Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided Concept Art Book. This includes nearly every piece of concept art ever done for the game, including a great deal of never-before-seen stuff (even a few pieces that were "rejected" for continuity reasons), preliminary sketches for the CGW cover, an intro by our Lead Artist Jake Rodgers, some cool continuity/game info, final model shots and screenshots, and comparisons to film stills. This book has been a labor of love for some of us, and I think it's going to be an excellent look at one aspect of the game's development.

*Collectible pewter figurine featuring a Zabrak female with a blaster rifle. This is one of the most detailed SW figures I've ever seen. It's based on an in-game character and in-game wearables.

*Sew-on patch featuring the logo for Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided. We hope to do patches for each installment of the game.

*Lapel pin featuring both Imperial and Rebel insignias as well as Star Wars Galaxies logo.

*Spiral-bound manual, with a cover autographed by all the Leads on the Galaxies team, and a special surprise.

It all comes packaged in a pretty solid black box with the Star Wars Galaxies logo embossed on the cover and sides (I just saw the box today and it could hold all your old Star Wars RPG sourcebooks...).

We're still working on the price, but I wanted to let you know the contents, since we have those nailed down.
