Good Game
What happened to the Game - Star Wars Galaxies is probably one of, if no the most, entertaining MMO on the market right now. Contrary to what most of the reviews on here say, this game is not horrible mindless grinding with indignant players, who don't care a thing about enjoying the game. However, I have played this game since June of 2004 (I know this is not since the beta), and it has massively changed from its original format. When I started this game, the profession system was incredibly diverse, allowing a person to make a character to suite their playing style perfectly, but due to easily swayed Dev's and a lot of unfounded whining (most likely from the same people who are now giving it bad reviews now, or at least similar to these folks), the game was made horribly unbalanced. Fully leveled Jedi knights could be horribly wiped out by most of the other melee fighting classes, with no problem. Finally, the Devs realized that the game could not be fixed from its current state of buggered up, so they wiped it and started new. This time the classes are a bit more confined, but never the less they are just as fun.
What this means for the game - The Classes are much more confined, so this means you can't have a crafter with any combat class skills, but the up side is there are two character slots available on each server. This is much better. Because rather than having a good craft with horrible combat or vise versa, you can have both a good combatant and a good crafter or what ever you want. Also everything is pretty well balanced. The only thing that makes a class better than another is play style preference. Another plus is other than a few 13 year old L33T speakers and a few 38 year old star wars junkies/gurus, the people are pretty friendly and helpful.
MMO Recommendations - If you aren't sure what MMO to choose now here is my list of MMO's I've dealt with.
Matrix Online or City of Heroes - Not much to do other than kill baddies. However, killing enemies seems to stay fun for a long time, and player interactions are always entertaining. Since fighting is all there is to do, expect much grinding and repetitive missions.
Guild Wars - Content is fun for maybe 2 months, but after that you must entertain yourself creatively. Never was too hard for me, but it could be for some people. Free monthly fee is definitely worth getting. Nice side track when the pay per month MMO's get boring
World of Warcraft - Good game. The Fan base can get a little too into the game. The crafting is a bit odd and I never really pursed that too far. This game is also the most popular MMO right now, but I would recommend a trial.
Star Wars - My favorite. You can have fun doing quests, talking to people, messing with crafting, or just plain, pointless screwing around. Space is also the icing on the cake. Every game has grinding and some things take forever in this game, but it is a good one for those who get bored with constant killing. Try the trial if you are unsure.
PS - Never Dealt with Customer service, so it might not be good. I don't know about that one.
SWG updated reviews
I have been playing this game for about 1 year now. Although it initially had alot of bugs in it due to the DEV's wanting to rush everything out...they have since included multiple patches and mini publishes to enhance the game's overall experience. Is this to say the game is perfect? By no means. However, I see it continually improving as time goes by. It's pretty much like any other MMORPG simply with a different flavor/setting. The graphics are intense, and you can have your character highly stylized in appearance.
Approximately every month or so, a new publish comes out to enhance the game's overall experience. In the near future, the Jedi system is getting a complete overhaul in the manner of how the force sensitive slots are opened towards the path of the Jedi. It will no longer be a grinded profession series to master, but instead players will have to advance through a series of quests and such. Content is improving for the crafters side of the house, of recent note was the new improved droids, and the Image designer upgrades, both worthy and interesting to note.
Also of note, new quests are coming out for characters to be challenged on. Some can be solo'd others require a heavy amount of teamwork.
The price of the game is dropping to a more affordable level as well, so as to make it easier for players to enjoy. In the near future, an expansion will be coming out ( Ive heard fall of 04),
So players will be able to go into space with thier own starships.
Overall, this game is worth giving a spin or 2, I enjoy it immensely. Good luck and Good hunting to you all...
Immersive and addictive but ohh so great :)
Those of you who play games to say you've finished it stay away from SWG. There is no end to this, and I love it. As a character you meet and become familiar with others. Going on hunts, gathering resources, and generally having fun. It's true that the grinding part of the game is arduous, but the rewards when you acheive master are great. It's a sad day whenever you have to drop skills you've worked on so you can learn another skill. Those who are most disappointed in the game are those who play merely to become jedi or those who wish to be Luke reincarnated.
