Worst MMO I have played

I've played UO, DAOC, Planetside, AC1, AC2, WOW, COH, EQ1, and SWG is the biggest disappointment I've ever experienced. On launch you could walk into major cities and could be one of thousands playing the game on the server (I played on Bria). After the developers ruined the game (NGE) I only saw 10-15 people max in towns.

The entire game down the toilet. Please out of respect for those who bought the game on launch don't buy this game.

Hard to have an MMO without players...

This game is the worst mess that you can imagine, it completely ruins the great Star Wars name. If you are true Star Wars fan, this game will just make you furious. The servers are barren wastelands where it is possible to roam for hours without seeing another player. Game is buggy with a horrible combat system and ruined economy. All in all, your better off playing pong.

Its hard to imagine what game these fanbois are playing but it cant be SWG...

Game Used To Be Great

I have played this game both pre and post NGE, and honestly people, save your money for something better. I was never a power player, I played it for the community. My profession pre-NGE was Master Dancer and post-NGE Master Entertainer. There is no longer a community. Where before the NGE, every cantina was always full of people, the only cantina that has anyone in it now is Mos Eisley. The cities are empty. Player cities are sitting there with empty houses. On city on one planet has any players. The game is truly dead. Don't waste your money. Hopefully LucasArts will fire SOE and recreate a game that people will play.

The dark times are not over.

This game is far from being complete. SWG has been dumbed down incredibley. Is SOE adding stuff back in? Yes, but they are things they should have never taken out, and when they add them back in they are only half as good as they were before. I would not recommend this game to anyone, unless you like being bullied by a large company that does not care about its customers. The other posts here look like SOE had some lackeys come on and up vote this game. It is but a shell of its former self. If you are looking for a true Star Wars experience move along.

This game has been out over five years. In the course of these years, SOE has managed to ruin a wonderful game and drive off around half of their paying subscribers. But people who have no experience probably don't want to hear about this. They want to know if the game is fun...

Once you get past the bugs, the level grind, the lack of content, the lack of players and the condescending attitude of the developers who KNOW what YOU want (even though the evidence shows they only know how to drive away their subscribers)...yea, you might have some fun. Is it worth 30 dollars? I guess that's all in what you consider a "waste of money".

Take it from an ex-player...leave this sad excuse of a Star Wars game and a MMORPG alone. Take your $30 and buy Lineage2 or EVE Online.

SWG - The Complete Online Adventures is a steaming pile...

Save your money and buy something else from Amazon. This is an old game that is not worth your money. Do not give the manufacturer of this game the satisfaction of making another dime off of this product. Do not think that just because the game has the Star Wars name on it that it is a good game. This game is now an absolute disgrace to George Lucas' universe!

You must be joking

It doesn't get worse than this game. This is rock bottom. Deserted game, no skills/ability choosing with god awful controls. There is no reason for anyone to be playing this game, no reason at all. This game is an insult to not only star wars fans but game fans in general. I would only recommend such rubbish to my worst of enemies.

The bad reviews aren't lying.

They're pretty spot on as to the state of this 'game'. I played for almost a year after release, but quit when I realized back then that the game was just not worth paying for.

I came back a couple months with a brand new account to see if it was really as bad now as I'd read. It's even worse.

Remember, Star Wars Galaxies has won the 'coaster of the year' TWICE for a reason. With this release, it's on the verge of a coaster hat-trick.

Stay far away.

A bad, pathetic WoW close with Star Wars skin

Star Wars Galaxies is in a constant state of de-evolution. SOE is only trying to capitalize on the Star Wars license while stealing ideas from WoW. Long gone is the vision for anything that resembled fun or original. And remember that "current gameplay experience may change", so the game you buy now may not be the same a few months later. It's a scam... Stay away from it.

Save your money and buy Battlefront II

This game has gotten progressively worse every year since it came out in 03. The developers continually "upgrade" the combat system to the point where everything you earn and make becomes unusable and worthless. $OE took a truly unique and exceptional game and decided to graft WOW-like elements on to it.

Something things to consider:
1) Search google: Not a single gamer website or magazine has given this game a positive review.
2) Crafting is DEAD.....if you like to craft go elsewhere.
3) The population is half the size it was in 2005.
4) $OE is NOT trustworthy. They dangle all sorts of things in front of the playerbase, only to ditch the concept altogether (IE Smuggler revamp, Capital ships,etc etc).
5) $OE has now completely changed the game system THREE times. Each time all your loot, equipment, resources, and even your profession are dramatically nerfed. You never know when $OE will make a dramatic change that devalues all your hardwork.
6)Combat!!!!.....you would think the smaller population would make the game run smoother......yet it doesn't......combat is like watching Benny Hill....

Save your money and hope to god that the next Star Wars MMO is not a $OE product!
