Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Star Wars Galaxies is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that lets you assume the role of nearly any type of character in the Star Wars universe and interact with thousands of other players' characters as well as established characters from the movies. You can be a shady smuggler, like Han. You can be a cold bounty hunter, like Boba Fett. You can even be a Jedi, like Luke. You can create and develop any character you like and seek out adventure and excitement as you see fit. Best of all, the game never ends--it persists and changes online, even when you're not playing. Interaction with other players is what this game is all about; you can get together with your Rebel friends and raid an Imperial bunker, or work with other Imperial troops to squash Rebel scum. You can instruct young Jedi in the ways of the Force, or you can work with other bounty hunters to hunt down outlaw Jedi and bring them to justice. Or you can manage a cantina or parts shop and marvel at the galaxy's vast variety of heroes, scum, and villainy.


Product Description

Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided takes you deep into the Star Wars universe, where you can choose your destiny in a massive-multiplayer online role player! You can even try to become a Jedi -- and after Jedi training you can be seduced by the Dark Side!

1.0 out of 5 stars The CURB has destroyed SWG, May 1, 2005
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
Don't waste your time, money, or dignity with this game. This is _NOT_ something that George Lucas has a lot of say in, and trust us when we say _IT SHOWS_. Sony Online Entertainment is utterly clueless, and they have shown it with this "upgrade".

This is the exact thing those of us, hundreds of us, maybe even more, were all stating during the Beta phase. I, and countless others like me, started testing the Beta the very day it was up on TC. Right from the beginning we stated immbalances, problems with PvE combat, problems with the new skill prequesites, problems, problems, problems.

You know what happened to our daily posts?

They were *ahem* "archived" *ahem*

Yea.. Archived right into the Trash Bin.

And now everyone is going through this garbage live. At least _we_ were experiencing things on TC, there was the (false) feeling of still having some hope that things would get better. The worst part about the experience on the TC servers was they barely let the Jedi players test things. I don't even think I saw Jedi players until the last 5 to 7 days (no, I'm not a Jedi player.). The whole Beta only last a little bit over 3 weeks. Three weeks?!? And it's on live already?!?

They needed _way_ more than three weeks. They basically ripped the entire class/level system from EQ2, tried tossing the level part of that system on top of the already-existing skill-based system, and look at the mess we've now got.

Class/Level systems _do_ work, as long as the game is designed around that functionality. Most RPG games out there are class/level. However, when you take 1/2 the system from one game, and try blanketing another entire system with it, you will break things.

While I was on TC I tried full melee-only templates, I tried full ranged-only templates, I tried combinations of the two. All-Ranged was the best. However, things in the PvE world were still whack, and of course now the rest of the people are seeing what things are like. The public is _not_ happy. I admit, there are people who enjoy it. But the negative response is utterly over-whelming.

It was over-whelming on TC, and it's even more-so now in-live. Just look at the reviews at Amazon.com: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/B000067FDY/ref=cm_cr_dp_2_1/002-2566986-0847239?%5Fencoding=UTF8&s=videogames">Clicky</a>

Lack of developer input. Lack of customer consideration. Lack of good judgement. Lack of taking to heart, all the brilliant customer feedback us that helped test things were dishing out on a dialy basis.

I posted copies of some of my more detailed TC Forum posts, just in case things were "archived" as they were, here: <a href="http://ib.hostaforumfree.com/index.php?mforum=swglife&showtopic=6" target=_blank>Clikity Clakity</a>

Many of us who helped out on TC really tried to stop this mess from happening. We tried to help get them to produce and release a balanced, playable, fun, new-user attracting, veteran-player keeping product. And not only did they ignore those who helped test (most of us almost every day right until the very end), but they even pushed everything, in all it's buggy glory, to the live servers EARLY.

You wanna find a nice MMORPG to play (and not worry about a monthly subscription, which ROCKS!), check out <a href="http://www.guildwars.com" target=_blank>Guild Wars</a> instead.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor customer service, May 1, 2005
By Ferrokka (Florida) - See all my reviews
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
I would have previously rated this game 4 or 5 stars. Unfortunately I am no longer able to play due to a 27 hr download via dial up for a recent patch that I am unable to make(DSL and Cable are not available in my area). Poor planning by Sony to inconvenience paying customers, especially in a shrinking market now dominated by XBox and PS2 gamers. It would have been so much easier to add this new patch to the upcoming Wookie expansion due out fairly soon. I'm disappointed to cancel an account that I've had for almost 2 years. I've got to spend my gaming $$$ elsewhere now.

1.0 out of 5 stars Combat Upgrade, April 30, 2005
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This game is now nothing like it was stated on the original box. It is a sloppy mess of EQ2 style play overlayed on a Star Wars look. There are many bugs cause by the current "upgrade". Customer support is minimal at best. They took a working game and made it into a non working one. SOE basically has shown total disregard for their customers with this. Many customers complaining and their words are ignore or erased on forums board. I would not suggest this game even for the die hard Star Wars fan. lacks many qualitys that you would come to expect from a Lucas design. I think the name should be changed for it is not Star Wars anymore.
