It's good, but extremely old.  Don't expect to be wowed by the graphics.

Also, if you're planning on being a Jedi, understand that that'll take you probably six to eight months, at least.  I highly recommend skipping over it if your goal is to play a Jedi character.

SWG USED to be good, before it was destroyed by the NGE.I played it for at least a year before that.They dumbed the game down and removed so many details it's not even funny.I don't recommend it.

Oh yes BTW you can start as a Jedi now.So another example of the crap the NGE has brung.

I got it when it first came out. Then it was good, but after I came back after cancelling my account for awhile, they completely revamped everything, even the skill and combat system. It was a waste of time. It might be better for you since you'd have no knowledge of what it previously was, but there are going to be better MMOs

You can? Hmm, I've been out of that game for a long while to not have heard this. That's probably a good thing though. The people that buy the game and end up not liking it won't have to sink 150 bucks into before discarding it.

Yeah, that sucks. But, for it being such an old game, I still think it's better that players don't have to sink $150 bucks into the game to become a jedi, then find out that they don't like it anyway.

Dont bother. Like others said it WAS good but now it sucks. It is almost void of other players as well.

Obviously you don't know what you are talking about. Go ahead and be a jedi in swg, just like 99% of the other players.

Yeah, yeah I do. I was one of the people that paid to play the game for a while and became a Jedi. And, like I said, these days it's probably not worth it to pay that kind of money.

Although it's been said, you should really stay as far away from Star Wars Galaxies as possible. It was ruined years ago and has apparently only taken a downward spiral.

Yeah I did the idiotic mistake of re-activating my account today, the game is completely dull. It is simplistic and so easy that I felt sick playing it. Please do not make the same mistake I did.

It used to be good, about 3 years ago. Then, the NGE came out, and slaughtered the SWG experience. I playeed for 2 years, through the Pre-CU, and Combat Upgrade. It was pretty good, until the NGE came out.

Well, Ill add some positivity to this. As a nw player who has no idea what the old game was like .... it's awesome. The game play is smooth, the PVP and PVE is awesome. I have not one bad thing to say about it. It is fun and if you like Star Wars the movies then you'll love it even more. I played the WOW trial and SWG is similar in the game play itself. Just better quests and the space battles are cool. There is no limit to the game. You can fly to whatever planet you want, you can be part of the Empire, the rebellion, or a scoundrel smuggler working for yourself. The proffessions rock, the races are Star Wars races,  and the storm trooper armor is sweet. There is a 14 day trial so say give it a try. If you dont like it then it didnt cost you a dime. I guarntee you will.

I posted this in the other SWG topic, but i still think it's relevant

I used to be addicted to SWG, i loved playing it since launch and i was a great fan for 2 and a half years. But then the NGE, yes the NGE ruined it for me like so many others. I was a mayor of a town, had 3 accounts of max level people, including a jedi and had a billion credit company on the Chimera server. I even had real people working for me, like i had a huge tailoring company, and i paid people to make stock. It was awesome and i thoroughly enjoyed the crafting and the economy, which was without a doubt the high point for the game and unlike any other game.

The economy was fantastic, too much detail on why it was good but lets just say when they reduced the number of professions to i think 4  crafting professions. And then gave each person a second character, totally ruined it for me. So much for being unique as a bio-engineer and although there were few of them, they were a necessary profession and the few who were bio-engies, made money from it as their services were required, that was why it was such a great game.

And so, giving the NGE a month or two i finally quit and have sorely missed it and often wanted to return, but then i remember why i quit. I WANT to play it again, but unless someone can convince me otherwise i just have to move on i guess :(.
