I started playing SWG since the day it was released. While it's true that it had some bugs, the game was vastly different from all other MMORPG's. It had tremendous depth and customizability. No longer were you stuck in one or 2 classes. You could be a Ranger, with some medical skills, who also played in the cantina's at night. And you could also have a store on the outskirts of town. Lots of things needed to be fixed. The professions were a bit unbalanced. The speeders were way too slow to be true to SW canon. Space combat in JTL was atrocious. But the core game was a lot of fun.

Now, with the NGE, they're taken all the fun, complexity, and customizability out of it. You can only be 1 profession. Anyone can start as a Jedi. No more crafting. The game is now a (poor) WoW clone. The real players of this game loved the complexity, the depth. Now it's just another bad online game that they have the nerve to charge monthly fees for. If I wanted to be a Jedi, not be able to craft anything, and not be able to have any other skills, I would have played another little game by LA called Jedi Academy.

Skip this game. When it was first released, it had the potential to be the biggest, most complex and immersive online game ever, and it would have had the Star Wars name to boot, Now, it's not even a shadow of it's former self. They have ruined it forever.
