Star Wars Galaxies

[Sigurd]

Any players here?
I just bought a month worth of this game to test it out.
At first it seemed as a fun little RPG and I enjoyed my first evening doing the tutorial. However leaving the space station for Tatooine I realized that this game is just vastly immense.
I am wondering if I am up to it.

I built a character with the Jedi profession hoping to get to the light-saber wielding fast as in KOTOR 2. Reading through the guides I realize that it will take a long time just to become force sensitive.. or what have you.
Getting stuck on some of the missions I decided to try out for the Imperial Navy (I love those TIE fighters). But I am only allowed a trainer ship, which is far from a TIE. Ok maybe if I succeed in some imperial missions I’ll get a TIE… Nothing. Back to the manuals. It seems you’ll have to buy your own ship which involves getting blueprints from somewhere and go to a shipwright and make him build it for you. I am looking at the watch and thinking; what have I got my self into here?
I am not an experienced player of these kinds of online games… any experienced players that could give a few pointers?

I was considering Galaxies for a while, well, sometimes I still do, but my experience with WoW has made me aware just how much time I wasted there…And what for? To level up and get a new item that gets me +2 DPS or 1% better criticals? If Galaxies has more content and more individual, interesting missions, then I might reconsider…

It's buggy as hell.

My bro used to play it. They are changing it to be more friendly to xbrick owners, which he doesn't like at all. Apparenly many long time players agree. So many that they apparently have to hide the unsubscribe button......

All i heard was that alot of players were quitting because of the constant changes(I think that when they pudate a stat, all the items that you bought before the update vanish). not very encouraging

Also, I believe that as far as time-consuming MMO's go, SWG is the worst. Though I hear FFXI is rediculous as well.
