Star Wars Galaxies Preview

PC Zone has posted a preview of Verant's Star Wars MMORPG Galaxies (thanks Blues News). There's plenty of info about the title through quotes from the developers. Really want to play this one.

'You can train your character in a particular way,' says Raph Koster, creative director at Verant.
'You could be a smuggler, and when you get bored, you can give up those skills and try something else.'
Basing character profession on skills means that players can literally be whatever they want: bounty hunter, smuggler, mechanic, craftsman, even oyster farmer, writer, musician, bartender or hairdresser. And, unlike traditional RPGs, race will have no restrictions on what skills you choose to pursue.
