"Adding Star Wars Galaxies to the mix brings all Sony Online Entertainment-developed MMO titles under a single umbrella subscription," said John Smedley, president, Sony Online Entertainment. "Station Access has been a compelling deal for our subscribers since it launched last year, but now it's a must-have for all online gamers."
Star Wars Galaxies joins the already available line-up of titles offered under the Station Access subscription plan, which includes the original EverQuest®, the recently released EverQuest® II, PlanetSide®, EverQuest® Online AdventuresTM for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, EverQuest for the Macintosh and the three Station Pass games, Cosmic Rift, Infantry and Tanarus.
Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided® launched in June 2003 in North America, allowing gamers to immerse themselves in the Star Wars universe online. In October 2004, Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to LightspeedTM, the game's first expansion, added a whole new level of fast-paced space combat and over 20 iconic spacecraft for players to fly. Both An Empire Divided® and Jump To LightspeedTM are available at retail for US$19.99 each.
Station Access provides the subscriber with a single account that grants access to each of the SOE published MMO titles the player owns. Players must still purchase the software titles individually. Station Access does not include subscription services for non-SOE published titles, versions of EverQuest, EverQuest II, Star Wars Galaxies, EverQuest Online Adventures or PlanetSide published outside of North America, or SOE's wireless or handheld games.
Station Access requires a valid credit card and cannot be used in conjunction with GlobalCollect payment methods, or with GameCards.
