First day woes for Star Wars Galaxies

thursday saw the release of sony's long awaited massive multiplayer online role-playing game (mmorpg) star wars galaxies (swg). the release was not without problems, however, and sony's servers were at the heart of the trouble.
many gamers rushed home after buying swg to find that registration just wasn't working. the registration servers were fixed by mid-day on thursday, but players who subsequently managed to complete the sign-up process were then presented with game servers that did not work. the problem was put down to “database issues,” and many people were unable to login until friday morning.
