Star Wars Galaxies: New York Times "For Online Star Wars Game, It's Revenge of the Fans"

Yes I do have to hand it to SOE/Lucas Arts for this deal, it brings a new definition to bitter sweet. Bitter in comments but It has to be sweet in savings since when the NYT was contacted on a price for a coprporate ad of this magnitude the quote given was " For a 60 column X 14" Spacing with a graphic of that size Nation Wide will cost ball park around $80,000 USD.

Now I am looking at all if this and thinkning genious, abosolutely genious. Here is the company that alot of players seem to dislike but yet these people provide this company with 80 Grand in free publicity in of all places the New York Times™ (one of the world's most read news titles) and to make the best of it, that price quote, was not for international since it can be viewed in full over the internet at http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/10/arts/10star.html .

So all I can say is chalk one up for big corporation and I hope those that gave them 80 Grand in FREE ADVERTISING get at least a Christmas Card this year rather than that Wookiee Life Day Globe.

Since this is the season for giving, SOE/Lucas Arts are giving out 10 Day Free Trials at: http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com

Early Merry Christmas SOE/Lucas Arts I can't wait to see what you get for Valentine's Day. :)
