so is the game fun though i mean well i did like a game that's something like this but not really its call runescape www.runescape.com/ its pretty much free though unless you become a member and that's only around $5 a month and that's a good price considering how bad the graphics are and all but $25 month for a game that's a little the same but a lot different but kind of the same well i don't know i guess it's not to bad $25 is not too much.........mabye I'll give this a try??!!??!? oh and runescape is very addicting!!!!!!! I am not going to lie, I hate runescape, and this is normally the part where flames would begin. But as I want the free saber, and since I really want you to hear me out, I won't. Especially when, even runescape, is better than star wars galaxies. SWG is no fun at all now, and as much as I hate RS, I will be the first to say that it is more fun, and perhaps more starwarsy than SWG. Make out of that whatever you want, but its true no matter what you feel about RS. Heck, all games are more starwarsy then SWG, you just need to look at the points (I could make some very amusing ones). Seriously, for the love of the force, RS is more worth it than SWG, I can't stress this enough.

wow you say you hate RS but yet you think its better but you did say better now what happened did lucasarts make it bad or is it too much money? but RS it's fun for a while but then i got bored of it but i played for a good 3 years and got up to like 1.5 million GP yeah i wasn't really that rich cause i went through 3 accounts and got them up to at least the 70s and it was hard to get them there...........so you don't think SWG is a good game???

Yeah, I don't like RS, don't take offense though, you seem like a nice guy. I pretty much only stated that I hate it to show you how much more I hate SWG now. But believe me, I don't like SWG, and would choose RS over it. The Revamp was really SOE's idea, an idea only liked by the higher ups. Even though they got Julio Torres to announce it, don't be fooled, he was just the messenger. Long story short, thousands quit, SOE had to lay off a good amount of its staff, not to mention the fact that many left voluntarily (and of course by this I mean quit), even Raph Koster, the guy that came up with alot of the stuff for SWG. essentially, the game is now no fun, its linear instead of freeform gameplay, and the game, as wel as SOE itself is the laughing stalk of the development community. If you really want to play a Star Wars MMO, wait for SWG emu(lator) to be perfected. Its going to be a copy of SWG when the combat was good.

OK first thing:
STAR WARS GALAXIES IS NOT $25 MONTH! THATS FOR ALL THE SOE GAMES A MONTH! SWG IS $15!
Oh and runescape is put put it frankly, rather cack.
Graphics= Worse than the original Plastation Econmy= there isnt really one as all the weapons/armour is made and sold by NPCs Community= the most common word in the game is 'noob' Quests= Most are boring and time comsuming Combat= dont even get me started on combat. I have honestly never seen a worse combat system in any MMORPG Really, it's only worth playing if you have lots of friends to play it with. Other than that, just don't bother.

2 years after launch i spent on this game loving every moment of it. after the changes of the CU i just cannot go back no matter how hard i have thought about it. I downloaded the trial and its just not the same game. I mean i grinded out my jedi for over a year. Now people can start out as one....... just bull but then again so is SOE they do what they want and never in the 2 years i played listened to thier customer base. probably why its one of the smallest mmorpg's out there now.

I still play but I think they should bring in PRE NGE servers, along with the NGE servers to make everyone happy.

Im now happy with the game. The next publish will bring back TKA (in smuggler expertise) and have a new GCW system with all new armour and vehicles.

To be short and sweet. SWG used to be worth playing but with NGE it isnt.

I'm afraid i have to sadly agree with the majority of the posts. I played many many hours and developed a very good character, then they went and killed it with the CU and NGE. I logged back in again last month, my char was still there (as were his house and all of his kit) but the game is empty. There just aren't any people playing it anymore.
To be honest it was kinda repetitive when it first came out but it was a lot of fun, now it's dead, mos eisley is like a ghost town and you are lucky to bump into another player at all sometimes.
In my opinion the Sony execs who made the decisions to do this should be lined up and beaten with sabers until they bleed, and then beaten some more!!!
SWG would have been a lifelong MMO for me had Sony not borked it royally. Grrrr it makes me mad just thinking about it.

It was pretty good at one point but they ruined it when they started nerfing every good job class and added the new combat to it.

Did they ever put creature tamers back in? I wonder what happened exactly to all the master leavel creature tamers when the NGE came along? I never made one myself, I was a master marksman and working on master scout when I quit, but that was about 3-4 months after launch.

They killed creature handlers. When I logged back in a had a device that would let me re-spec my character 10 times, this meant that I could try out pretty much all of the classes at max level, i tried them all and just wanted to cry.
Part of the joy of SWG was it's complexity, the fact that you could have a few skills from one profession and a few from another, this is no longer possible.
I've just started playing Vanguard and thats a sony game, it's nicely complex and i'm just hoping sony dont kill this one chasing WoW again.

i was in love with this game for a long time. it was so much fun because of the vastness of each server. no two servers were ever alike. and if you were friends with a good crafter, you were good to go with great gear that no one else could easily get. then 2 weeks after the ToOBW came out, they completely annihalated it. thats why WoW is as big as it is now, they havent completely screwed over their customers like SOE, and once SOE did it, alot of people left for WoW (me along with several of my friends and nearly his entire guild). but thats just my opinion, when those new PreCU servers come online, i'll play again.
