Star Wars Galaxies announces 'galactic buddy' initiative
Ever wonder what it's like to walk around on a planet with two suns? Are you constantly wishing their was someone around to help you fight off angry rancors? Perhaps you've got an empty seat in your T-16 speeder? If any of these are you, Sony Online Entertainment has you covered.
Their new Galactic Resettlement Initiative (also known as the buddy program) will ensure that you're standing under the unforgiving suns of Tatooine in no time flat. The program is intended to allow veteran Star Wars Galaxies players to show their friends what the game is like. For a limited time, they can try out a 14-day free trial of the title set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
And what do the vets get out of it? Well, if their new buddy flips to a subscription account before February 15th, they could get fabulous rewards! These include handsome movie posters for their in-game housing, and the possibility of a semi-stealthed speederbike. Nice looking kit, and all for getting someone new interested in a highly under-appreciated game.
