Here is the pricing info:

I want to get this but I probably won't for a few months at least. It's pretty spendy, and I won't be able to give it the time it needs while I am still playing pso regularly.

For those of you interested, we should decide on a server to play on.

The ability to teach players your own skills can be pretty cool. Have you tried out the battling? Also those jobs you can do...what do you actually do as that job? I am refering to the actual gameplay element(ie. In the case of PSO, Comboing attacks together is the basics of attacking an enemy).

I've played many an online mmrpg and despite how many cool features it has, if those features just aren't deep enough in terms of what your actually doing gameplay wise, it becomes stale over time. An example is EQ, being able to create an item is nice...yet all you do is click a button and hope you get lucky and create an item. Despite what you can do(create 100s of unique items), what your really doing is just messing around with menus. I guess iam asking for some more technical info on the gameplay and how fun it actually is interms of a long terms purchase(6+ months playing time).

Not trying to put the game down, iam just curious how SWG did it.
