I currently play FFxi and im fed up with it and im very tempted to get galaxies. Im a moderate star wars fan but nothin hardcore, is the game worth gettin?
I used to play Eq and loved it, im not sure if galaxies is an eq clone in star wars form kuz if it is that would be awsome.

If you are upset with FFXI then you're gonna get pissed with SWG.
I've played both and I stopped playing both. If you must get one of the two evils, stick with FFXI.
FFXI may have its in-game problems but man, its like love-making compared to Star Wars Galaxies. I beg you to at least take a look at the SWG reviews under the GameList--> Star Wars Galaxies--> Rating. It will save you a lot of heartache plus 50 bucks.
I would only recommend SWG to people I hate....its not a very good game at all. It would take me 4 pages to list why I hate it (in terms of all the things wrong with SWG). Just check out the reviews. Save your money
If you do buy SWG, then give it two months....then don't say we didnt warn you ^_^,......any game is fun for a month, but it's true colors come out around the second month mark
People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.
I agree with En1gma, but the main thing is what is fun for you. As far as FFXI is concerned, I don't know...never played it. But SWG was a waste of my money. I should've just burned the $110 I wasted on it. Read through the reviews on the net, and especially the past player reviews. Good info there.

SWG has a LOT of potential.
The graphics are extraordinary, better than any other game I have ever seen. I liked the AO environment better, only in that it was totally original, and the music was very well done.
But let's face it...SWG is STAR WARS!
It has a tremendous number of problems with it. Once you get past the graphics, the gameplay is unbalanced, no professions are close to being finished, and the lag and associated server instabilities are getting worse over time.
The development team is leading the game into some serious problems, which will become obvious shortly, and the needs of the community are not being heard, let alone addressed.
Gameplay implementation is the big problem. With a little luck (okay, with a regular miracle) all these things will be corrected once you get past the effects of the graphics-drug, and you will enjoy the game as a citizen of the Star Wars Universe as it was originally intended.
In my case, I recently cancelled my account for some very good reasons, some of which are listed above. However, these may not effect you personally. Feel free to enjoy yourself

That is true! He is also half-Leprechaun, so he can never be trusted around shiny objects.

ROFL 35 votes and 82% said no lol...
Man... that is saying alot lol.
(Do this man to be fair, read up on the game) NOT HERE.. we are a bit tainted here lol.
Read the press reviews
Gaming reviews
Investment reports
Awards won and the input from the President of SOE himself..
THIS WAY you might be able to make a better choice then see our text... I rather you see it from the people themselves.
(Whatever you do, avoid the real SWG boards too, I will even warn you on that as well) ---
If you are looking for a successful promising game with alot of good history then you may need to look elsewhere, I think you can see that with your own eyes fast.
