Star Wars Galaxies Launches Today (June 26, 2003)

[ChrisReid]

In a matter of hours I'll be driving to work to meet a hundred rabid Star Wars fans with one thing on their mind, and it's not Natalie Portman. Star Wars Galaxies, the giant massively multiplayer game, arrives in stores today. Quite a few Wing Commander and Origin affiliated people were involved in its production, ranging from designer Captain Johnny to producer Rich Vogel. You can find Letters to the Community from some of them here.

• Cinco Barnes - Prophecy Designer
• J Allen Brack - Wing Commander 3 through Prophecy QA
• Chris Douglas - Art Director/Fighter Designs for Privateer through Prophecy
• Jeff Grills - Armada, Kilrathi Saga & Prophecy Programmer

That's J Allen Brack holding the Chris Roberts sign there. Let me know if I missed someone! I didn't see a letter from Anthony Sommers and a couple others I thought were involved at some point.
