IS SWG still good?

Well ive never owned a MMORPG and im goin 2day to get either this or WOW. I heard wow is way better but i think i could get into the star wars theme more. How many people still play? is it still playable after this big update everyone talks about? and the final verdict WOW or SWG?

No. No. No. NO. NO. NO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Avoid Star Wars Galaxies like the plague. Although it used to be great, it has been completely, utterly, totally ruined in every way it is possible to ruin something and a few ways that are essentially impossible. If you happen to have a time machine and are able to go back to around 2003-2004, then feel free to give it a try. But as soon as they give wookies armor that is better than what other species get, leave before the infinite fires of hell come.

Funny thing is, i can almost 100% guarantee that everyone in this thread talking bad about SWG hasnt played it in 3-5 years, so i wouldnt take there opinions to seriosuely, youl never get any actuall information about teh game aside from "waaah they changed the game and no i dont like it" . the things there butthurt about wouldnt even affect a new player.

The only real difference between now and then right now is the class system, and teh fact that theres actually some content in the game now.

SWG is fine, and since theres a free trial theres no reason not to try it.

You should all check out the SWGEMU project. Basically these dudes got permission from Sony to rebuild the old school SWG.....from scratch..ShotGunBunny

No they didnt, they have no permission whatsoever, not only that but it was supposed to be "out" like 4 years ago, so i dont know why anyones still following it.

I was tempted to go back recently but after reading on the forums over there nothing much seems to have changed since the NGE. I could be wrong but that is what I could gather from the dicussions. Shame cus it used to be one heck of a game. Was a Master Combat Medic/ BH that kicked ***!!!

Out of WoW or SWG definatly get WoW imo, or you can wait for this classic galaxy server that I have seen posted around. If you want a good star wars MMO STKOR the MMO is expected to come out next year and it looks really really good from what I have seen.

play the free trial and see if you like it.jrabbit99

If you really have to have a Star Wars based MMO, just keep waiting for The Old Republic. It is almost guaranteed to be a million times better than SWG.
