Star Wars Galaxies Fest On Tap

LucasArts will present the first ever Star Wars Galaxies Fan Fest June 4 and 5 in Anaheim, Calif., for players of the online game. The Fan Fest, at the Anaheim Hilton, is designed for fans of Star Wars Galaxies to get together in person with the personalities they've been playing with for almost a year, the company said.

Fans will also have a chance to meet and chat with the development team of An Empire Divided, including Haden Blackman (producer, LucasArts) and Rich Vogel (executive producer, Sony Online Entertainment), as well as many producers and lead game designers. Fan Fest attendees can also participate in panels and forums, play in both in-game and live events, win prizes and buy Star Wars Galaxies merchandise and other Star Wars items.

What is Star Wars Galaxies?

Is it some kind of MUD or RPG?
