Star Wars Galaxies Preview

Star Wars Online has put together a preview of Sony and LucasArts’ upcoming MMORPG, Star Wars Galaxies. Here’s a snippet:

Attributes points are distributed between six areas: Strength, Constitution, Quickness, Stamina, Focus, and Willpower. Each of these attributes effect how well you succeed at different actions. For instance, with higher Strength, your character could pick up or push larger objects then someone with a lower Strength. Someone with higher Stamina could run longer distances then someone with a lower attribute. Along with these six attributes are three pools: Health, Action, and Mind. These pools fluctuate during combat and other activities. If any of them reach zero, you could possibly become incapacitated, and if your Health reaches zero, chances are you’re dead.
