The introduction section was pretty good to go through, found it exciting although laggy at times [hellloo 10mb conn!!?]. I noticed there's a strange bug that lets players/npcs go inside each other. So am taking off points for that, that ruins the immersion into the game in my opinion. More points are lost because at times I would be firing perfectly at targets and having no form of lag or fps loss as you can see on the counter table, yet they take no damage and I do.

I'm afraid after I left the space station, things got worse. I was expecting some form of a crowded welcome from others players bartering fighting etc what people generally do in MMORPGs. Nope,town was empty. Ran around for a long while, got a bit lost and bumped into a player Jedi but he didn't reply to me at all.

I tried some missions, but every time I got close to a waypoint, it would update ahead until it eventually ended far out at sea?!!!! Many other faults got on my nerves but it was mostly the not having anyone to talk to that got me bad. Felt lonely and got a feeling that this is a game slowly dying, this was over 2 days so Ive no doubt new players getting will find this all out in under a month at most and I doubt theyll resubscribe for 15 dollars a month. I didn't.

This was marked at 3.8 as music is as always brilliant, but after I uninstalled and got my refund I felt like I just wasted 2 days of my life big time. Id rather go and waste time in a more fun game like WOW/GW.
Cant help but feel I was playing in a half finished game, a beta at that and paying for it, that really annoys me so 1 for all tut tut.

    I have had the displeasure of spending nearly £300 on this game since I first started playing it (15 months ago) and it was all for nothing. I bought every expansion pack, enhancements, and paid my subscription without... Read Full Review

    If you want to have experience as an Alpha tester, this game is for you. If you want something enjoyable? Play battlefront 2. 1- The interface is horrid, you need 3 hands to use it. 2- This is no longer a MMORPG, ... Read Full Review
