I've played mmo's for a while, and read a little of star wars galaxies. i was wondering a few things.
-are the dogfights similar in style to the older lucas arts games i.e. X-Wing, Tie Fighter and X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter?
-someone told me a while ago, leveling takes FOREVER, true/false?
-being generally a fantasy gamer, but love the star wars universe (pre episode-1....episode 5 just rules) would it be a wise investment? or should i stick with my eq2?
-the housing system? is it similar to UO and can a new player actually find a decent place to plop a house down?
-it doesn't get rated as high as wow/eq2/guild wars/anarchy, what are some of it's con's?
thanks

If your a fan of Star Wars do NOT play this game. I am serious here. Its about as Star Wars as House of Wax. They have totally destroyed continuity at almost every turn. My advice is stay away until they at least decide what time period they are in.

If you plan to start a toon on Naritus (like many of the other posters here on this forum) you can contact me as Novarider or Delos (for some starter help - stuff and advice).

thanks, my buddy is considering buying it as well, if only they had a free 7-14 day trial like most games. if i do end up buying it, i'll try it on the server, but i'm going to wait until i see what more people have to say
A while ago they mentioned a free trial around the end of the year. Nothing else mentioned in dev posts about it recently.

dont go to bria inless you like 5 hour dt's for real its down more than its up.
Bria = overcrowded laggy powergamer server :-)

Yup they're trying to encourage players to move off of Bria. I even got an email about it and I don't even play anymore. (I have a couple toons there)
The game is definitely worth getting. It's only $29.95 so it's worth trying out. Play it for 30 days and see what you think. If you don't like it you spent less than you would have on Madden 2006.

Or you could just kick in another 20 and GET Madden. That way you wouldn't have pissed away 30 bucks.

It sounds great, so great in fact, I pitty those who canceled - Some deluded SWG fanboi who pities me.
I don't like it when you say things. - A Vanguard fan who does too.

Mind you, according to Shayde he/she/it plays the game currently(mind you, I don't believe Shayde one bit). So think about this:
He/She/It is telling you the game isn't worth buying but he/she/it SUPPOSEDLY plays it him/her/itself
How's that for a contradiction?
Matter of fact Shayde is now even claiming that he/she/it plays in the beta for the new expansion.
So the game must not be worth playing. I guess.... I dunno.. I don't play anymore. But for the life of me I can't immagine how the game couldn't be worth trying when someone who claims to hate it so much is still paying their monthly fee and even volunteered for a closed beta for the upcoming expansion!

Hehe, I think I've ran into Shayde Myrtle at the MO a few times, She does exist ... she may not be happy there, but she exist.
I have to agree with her, the game is getting pretty sucky now.
Maybe the beta testing is hopes for improving the game.
I'm not on your server... but your assessment of the game is right on.
I'm in beta. Basically to preview it for my friends who are actually considering buying the thing. I've been in every beta and I give all the bug reports and feedback I can to improve what they do.
Hasn't helped yet.. but it isn't for lack of trying.
And the question of "Why do I still play?" Because I still have until November 4th of free time from the MxO takeover. Since you cared.
I used to love this game. I used to actively work to create player-made content. Now it blows, and I try to keep people from making the mistake of picking this horribly broken game up now.

Player made content never sucks unless the creator does.
Have fun
Erillion
Yes. Since 2003. Participating and organizing player created content all the time. And contrary to some members of the grinder community I never get bored playing SWG. Sure - if I grind most of the time I would get bored too. And I think it is not by accident that the "boring" remark usually comes from those who have fallen into the grinder trap (be it WS burnout or Jedi insanity).

Made me laugh.
