On April 28, 2005, Sony Online Entertainment released a massive revamp of "Star Wars: Galaxies." The whole combat system is different, as are the in-game professions and creatures. This edition of the game guide is now completely obsolete.

Boycott Sony Online Entertainment and Lucas Arts.,
This review is from: Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed (Prima Official Game Guide) (Paperback)
I have played Star Wars: Galaxies for 782 days according to the /getvet command. I have purchased all of the expansions out to date. I was considering creating a second account. As of 11-17-05 my account is cancelled. The New Game, also known as the Starter Kit, is the third version of SWG and it is riddled with bugs and incomplete. It is a far inferior product to its previous versions as well. The NG was released after being kept secret for an unknown period of time and allowing players only a two week notice of it being published. Even less time was devoted to it being tested by sources outside of SOE. Trials of Obi Wan and the NG were released in such a manner as to call into question SOE's and LA's ethics. As represented by the employees who post to the forums SOE and LA are uncarring, glib, and/or vastly out of touch with the player community.
Most of these are not new complaints. However, with the release of the NG these problems have escalted to such a degree that the game is no longer playable. While some are content to merely switch games I am not. Simply changing the direction of the flow of money to SOE and LA will not get their attention. I am boycotting all products created by Sony Online Entertainment and Lucas Arts. I encourage others to do the same. I do not think my actions alone with effect SOE or LA one iota. In fact, I doubt anything will change their policies. The fan base for Star Wars and other properties is sufficiently numerous to mitigate any discontent portion. While some have predicted that the NG will cause the collapse of SWG I believe otherwise. It will lose many current players but those will be replaced by SOE's and LA's new target market. SOE and LA will later use the negative comments and future subscriptions numbers to prove that they were right all along and to dismiss anyone who opposes them as being knee jerk reactionaries who are against change just because they don't like change. Because most likely the next expansion will also bring a new version of SWG as SOE and LA attempt to copy whichever game is doing better then.

Useless now...,

This review is from: Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed (Prima Official Game Guide) (Paperback)
Sad to say, this guide is useless. The game, as many other have stated, has undergone many changes and even the Jump to Lightspeed side is now out of date.
IF the book was $1 it'll be a nice addition to a collection, but being a guide to SWG? Not at all. :(
