I played this game when it was first realeased and played for only a few months. At that time there were allot of bugs and the professions were'nt very fleshed out. I recently downloaded the trial version and found that I love this game now. I have a droid engineer and I have to say the crafting in this game is the best of any mmo. I also have a jedi that's very fun to play and the legacy quests are great. I think this game has gone through so many updates that has become one of the best MMO's out there.

NGE, FTL. Pre-cu, FTW

Although the New Game "Enhancements" (NGE) was supposed to make the game more "balanced" and more "Star Warsy" it did neither. Back when the game was good, Jedi was an honored profession, terribly hard to get, now anyone can be a jedi from teh very start. Crafting used to be a very big part of this game, now crafters and merchants are poor because of the in-balance of loot to crafted products. If you are thinking about buying this game, I sincerely suggest you do not. If you wish to purchase this game for use with SWGEmu ([...]) than but a used one. That's all i have to say.

Regards

A great MMORPG

The starter kit is very fun. You can create your own StarWars Character and live your own StarWars life. I don't understand why a lot of People gave this Game a bad review. The combat is okay, but good enough. The Graphice are also ok, and the Gameplay is Excellent. Getting lots of Credits and exp. takes a long time, but it is Worth it. You can choose your side in the Galactic Civil War. Be Rebels, Imperials, Smugglers, Bandits, and Black Sun Pirates. You can own your own starfighter, and the First one you get is free! You can work for Jabba The Hutt, Princess Leia, and Darth Vader himself! Join the Imperial Navy Or the Rebel Space Fleet. Fight in massive space battles, including Mon Cal Cruisers, Star Destroyers, and much, much more. You should Definitely Check this game out.

I'm such a dork

I bought this kit JUST to get the instant travel vehicle. Been playing it over 3 years... I guess with anything, it gets old after a while. A new player would have fun with this for many months. I suppose, played in moderation, this game would be fun forever. Good graphics and nearly endless amount of things to do.

Only one thing to say, "Instant Travel Vehicle"

That is the whole reason I bought this kit, I wanted the Instant Travel Vehicle. Honestly, this game is not that spectacular. It does have it's moments, and the very fact that you really get to explore the Star Wars Universe speaks for itself, but it can be downright tedious to play. Hence the reason I wanted the Instant Travel Vehicle, which you can only get by buying this Starter Kit, it does help to speed up your progress.

All the negative reviews are from years ago

Ignore the negative reviews. If you look at all of them, you will see that they say "I played this game x number of years ago and then they changed crap and it made me all sad and bitter so now it sucks worse than anything has ever sucked." The positive reviews say "I started playing a few weeks/months ago and am having a blast.

Translation: Those that didn't like change, flame this game to get back at the company for making them sad they didn't get their way. Current, non-bitter, non-whiney, honest reviewers will tell you how the CURRENT state of the game is.

Join us. Download the free trial. It's fully unlocked now so you can play as much as you want on any planet (outside of the ToOW expansion) for 14 days. If you like it, sweet. Look me up. I"m Vyfop on the Lowca server. If you don't, PLEASE post a legitimate review detailing what you did and what you didn't like so new people can actually read a balanced group of reviews of the current game rather than this constant complaining from people who are just sad their jedi had to share the universe with other jedi.

SWEEET!!!

I dont care what anyone else says about this game. I have started to play the 10 day trial, and i have to say i really enjoy this game enough to actually start paying for an online game. I have played guild wars but im unsatisfied but with SW Galaxies its like im immersed in star wars. Its great try it out

It would be good but

Ok I loved this game at one time. I played before the combat upgrade. And Well just got back into it again. and Well as I got back in and right before I hit my highest level SOE did it again they changed it! Yeah the Jedi and bounty hunters can do new things and than guess what they changed it again. I think if SOE tried to stop being like WOW and Everquest they might have something good here. But until they stop changing game play and stop forcing people to do things they don't want to do, they are just going to keep messing up a great game. But hey even Lucas changes his movies all the time so the fan boys should be used to changes they don't like right?

You mean there are other people on this server?

I played this since it went live all those many moons ago, through the combat upgrades through to the NGE. I stayed longer than most vets, I only cancelled my account a couple of months ago, as I wanted to give them a chance. Well they blew it. You used to interact with others. You had to dive into a bar to fix your BF and while you were there you could interact and make friends. Well they got rid of that a while back. Eventually they sort of brought it back with entertainer buffs but not like it used to be. People got groups to together to run missions. Now until you get to the high level missions which require you to be strong most can easily be soloed. The AI which used to be good got dumb, though that was happening long before NGE otherwise I could not have soloed the Warren! Now you're lucky if you run into anyone else. The servers seem deserted. Strange ghost towns devoid of other players. They talk of making it more Star Warsy. Well this is set between Ep IV and V. Exactly how many Jedi were there then? Had SOE just fixed bugs and added content to the original or even the CU releases, I would have recommended you try this. Now it a waste of money. Remember there's a monthly charge!

dont waste your time

i've been playing MMOs for 10 years and i played star wars galaxies for 2 and a half of those. then the NGE came and removed everything that was interesting and unique about this game. now its just like 90% of any other MMO out there. level grind and kill loot repeat, when it used to be so much more. dont waste your time, you could have all of your hard work wiped out and rendered useless too. they completely removed 2 of my characters professions and didnt convert any of their stuff. they have no idea what they want to even do with this game anymore and they change direction everytime the wind blows. worst dev team i have ever seen in any game in my life, a real disapointment
