You can't count on SWG to be the way it is when you buy it. It changes too often. They only care about signing new accts
When i bought the game, it was an RPG. Now it's an action/adventure game that requires both hands to play. Not very convenient for a game that requires months of game play to max out a character.
I feel like i've been Gypped out of everything I earned in their old system. Even if you try the game and you like it. Don't buy it, because they will inevitably change it again and you won't like what they change it to.
