I spent the last few days trying the game out. After the first few hours I saw how awful it can be. I had to spend the first day alone trying to get the game to work right. It is amazing how such an game would run so much harder than other MMORPG games. Guild Wars, Lineage II both of them work fine, with settings to the max but Star Wars Galaxy I even tweeked some of my computer's settings and still the game runs poorly. Really the game is a drain on one's system taking up over 5 gigs and using more ram than anyone could believe, characters moving more suggish than real like. After playing the next day I ran into about 4 game crashes in one town showing that the game is highly demanding on ones computer, if the game is ever going to take off they really need to fix things such as that.
Over all other than that I liked the game, I thought gameplay was a little annoying, and how somewhat odd the game was set up, however the large amount of missions made it somewhat entertaining for a while, and owning a home and being able to fernish the home however one wishes was a nice little treat. The new starter kit however I saw was somewhat annoying, gave new players an obserd advantage over movement across the game over the old school players. It really lowered the standards for an already hurting game.
