Alright so I need a new MMO. i quit all the ones i played (which was really only WoW and CoH) becuase i either got tired of them or didnt like them. I am a HUGE star wars fan. i downloaded the trial of this game and liked it, but i wanted more. I guess what im asking is:
Is there a good enough community to have fun in this game? Are there enough people? I guess im just worried about it not feeling "massive" becuase thats what i enjoy about MMO's. I know the numbers have all but dwindled in the past months, but i was on the forums and it seems like a solid player base. Can anyone elaborate on this?

playing eq2 and two worlds
The best part is if you piss someone off, or get to hate them, SOE will probably change the game and you wont have to deal with them anymore when they quit.....
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"

There are a lot of guilds around, at least on Starsider.
People are coming back due to the expertise systems.
That's a good one.
They need to merge the servers so there is more people per server but Starsider still has plenty of people to play with. The game has quite a few people left they are just spread between too many servers. You will realize this if you go to the test server right now because it is packed. I suggest playing because it is a very fun game still and there are lots of nice helpful people and a good rping community at least on Starsider. I preferred the CU but the NGE is still quite fun and there is plenty to keep you busy.
Do you mean in-game community? Because the community of the forums is one of the worst I've ever been a part of. The Mods refuse to do their job. I've never seen so much hate put to digital text.

Forums and the in game community are totally different. Even the people you see spouting on and on in threads on the forums aren't really like that in game (well most of them). Having said that, the Game Play Discussion forum is a completely different community from the other forums heh.
Agree, and here is a great movie that shows our great community:)

Have faith in God, believe in antimatter.
How many points you get in PvP depends on how much damage you did to contribute to the kill and what rank you are. As a Captain, if I kill another on my own I get around 120 points. In large scale PvP you get less points per person then PvE, but PvP is more fun :P
PvP in SWG has never really had an overall point to it other then doing it for the fun of it. At least now you earn points that gain you a rank that actually gives you decent stuff
community i'd say is as with most mmo's - there are helpful nice peeps, and there are idiots (unfortunately).
if you reaaaally want to try it, i think no matter what people will say, you will end up there.
just be "warned" that the full game isn't really like the beginner station as you have in the trial - you might feel quite lost after around level 40. but if you find a good guild you should be fine.
i returned mainly for the crafting. although only a shadow of what it used to be, it's still beats the heck out of WoW crafting!
"Really thinking about getting into this game".
You'll be SOOooorrrrrryyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!
Read the the posts and you'll see all 2 current players trying to lure you into playing. Meanwhile, you'll read the hundreds, thousands of former players who've left in disgust. Doesn't this tell you something?
One of the main reasons: Servers are empty, empty unless of course you count the npc's running around and oh' yes, the creatures.
Many condemn housing units left abandoned by former players who took off rather then pay for a less then mediocre game.
Heh, apparantly we all imagine our way through the game
If you are a huge Star Wars fan, as you say you are...I implore you to not get into this game. It is not "Star Warsy".
Don't get me started on it being the most incomplete MMO I have ever paid for and three years later I still read about bugs that made me mad.
Do what you want though, I'm just trying to help.
I've been playing a lot the past two weeks(just se my xfire profil) and i've totally feld in love with this game again, yea sure its a totally diffrent game from what it was before cu and nge, but i think its still the best mmo out there to date.
The only thing i want is more people to play, but i see new people everyday and the server populations seems to increase too, so its looking good.
Give it a try.
The main problem is the game WAS better. But it is still sth inside it for a fan of Star Wars. U have a chance to see Darth Wader, Han solo , Jabba etc.
Just give it a try, maybe you will like it, but for my self I cant play it anymore because I know Pre cu or Cu and NGE.
This is not the same game, its a different game,
You must make your own opinion
Cheers
and exploits, a community full of whining retards, the devs are morons,
the servers are empty, theres no challenge in the game, everyone
runs around and is the same proffesion that pwns all the others.
Seriosley, go play eq2 or something, almost anything is way better then swg as it is now.
Starwars Galaxies, An Empier Diveded, That's what it says on my box anyway.
This game probably has the worst community now, and probably the worst game - in my opinion.
