"Grows on you"

Star Wars Galaxies is a MMO where you recognize everything and everyone no matter who you are. You may not recognize all the species and places if your not a huge star wars fan but you'll definitely get used to everything. In the beginning you'll go through tutorials of how to go through the basics, then when you finally land down to the real galaxy you'll find that there is lots to do. Although there isn't much to do besides leveling in the beginning, most of the good stuff happens when you reach the maximium level of 90. You can group with players to do stuff like killing bosses that you see in the movies or help another player with a hard quest. This game has both space combat and ground combat. It also has unique features that not a lot of other MMO's have. Some of them is player housing and cities. There is also a storyteller system where you can create your own events. You can make your pet and the crafting system is great. Okay even though there has been lots of changes like the Pre-CU and NGE. The game has gotten A LOT better if your one of those old veterans that quit. Many new things have been added and it's a lot more fun. The combat is real-time action so you can press buttons and attack instead of waiting your turn to attack or just watch your character attack and wait a while. There are a lot of different unique professions that have there own advantages and disadvantages ( Except Jedi, there a complete different story ) The game has more than enough quests to level a character to it's max level. There are collections, events, and cool items so that there is always something to do. It's also fun to talk since there is a search feature to look for players and you can add people to the friends list ( Or ignore list )

Overall the game is pretty fun but theres pretty much limited things to do if not a lot of people online :(

I can honestly say the game has gotten better than 3 years ago.

So SOE, messed up. The game is still good and the game has been fixed in a way. The new heroic instances and events like Life Day and Hoth are still amazing. There are these things called chapters that SOE puts into the game about every 4 months. The chapters are like mini-expansions, even though a expansion has never been released for a while. Paying $15 a month for the game isn't that bad and there even is a Trading Card game for SWG. This is Star Wars and there is no other Star Wars MMO out there. Plus the graphics still look good after all these years :)
