I personally think that this is a great game and should be given another chance. I have played since beta, i played pre NGE, and now I play NGE. And I have to say that the game should have been released as it is now. Anyways heres my goods/bads and explanations as to why I believe so

Goods:

Space combat is epic, POB ships are great and its really fun to RP in space and get a PVP squadron going. Space is flawless in my opinion.

Combat is fast paced and fun when in a group

Housing is wonderful and there are thousands of different rare items to collect

Vehicles and mounts are really fun

The creature system is really fun to play around with and it's super fun(but frustrating) trying to get mutations

The graphics are good and the game is fairly easy to run on maxed settings

A fair amount of end game content(all though it feels somewhat pointless)

The crafting system is my favorite out of any crafting system in any MMO(my main is a crafter/beast master)

Vast character creation system with many races to choose from

RP is great in this game and it is fun to even just go hang out in a cantina

TCG is really fun to play(but the loot cards are really stupid and hard to get)

Player driven economy

Huge game world

theres a lot of good in this game... you just have to look for it

 

Bads:

Classes are too similar and some(such as smuggler) are near totally pointless in a group

Economy is pretty messed up. Everything costs A LOT and credits are somewhat hard to earn(unless your main is a trader and you sell really high quality stuff)

This game wont survive(as in itl still exist but I imagine many players will quit) once SWTOR hits the shelves(i for one will be quitting for SWTOR)

Wookiees need more armor sets

Havnt had a space update in ages

Coolest items in the game are only available from the TCG and are near impossible to get(unless you have a lot of credits)

Still find some pretty bad bugs every once in a while

Lots of people quit and come back and new players join all the time so it's really hard to have a stable guild

REALLY hard to level to 90 since it gets boring when your by yourself

ground PVP is an epic fail(not even worth doing IMO)

Jedi is the most played class

SWG goes against lore like none other(which is really irritating since im a lore whore)

no real smuggling(unless you count the pizza delivery smuggling thats in game now)

 

 Overall I give this game a 7/10 and will continue to play it until SWTOR comes out

I say if you need a Star Wars fix then by all means try it. Just make sure and keep the negative feelings you aquire for this game here and don't carry them over to TOR. This game is on its last legs and TOR will shut the door permanently.Then hopefully we will get to experience a real star wars MMO for the first time.

I couldn't help but laugh at the irony; read your post, and then read your signature.

Priceless. xD

Not a bad review, and fairly accurate besides. The only thing I'd add is this: TOR will not kill Galaxies. They are two vastly different game styles.

You have no idea what the hell you are talking about. I think it would be for the best if you just stopped posting in general.

 

SOE said that TOR will have no impact on the game. The genres are not even related for god sakes, TOR is becoming more of an SP game then an mmo.
