Version: Star Wars Galaxies: Starter Kit 10-day demo
"Beware, Beware"
Cons: When the game first came out, there were 32+ professions you could choose to work on. If you decided you didnt like a profession, you could drop it and work on another, intermixing the professions as you felt the need.
You want to be a dancer who can earn a little on the side hunting in slow times in the cantina? (Maybe go Dancer/Rifleman, or maybe Dancer/Teras Kasi Artist with a dash of medic) Nope sorry you want to dance, (Entertainer) thats ALL you can do.
You wanted to catch and train the taun tauns they rode on Hoth? Be the like the guy who took care of Jabbas rancor in Return of the Jedi? You wanted to be the one who went out and got an egg to grow a veractyl like Obi Wan rode in revenge of the sith? Maybe catch and train the dewbacks that the stormtroopers were riding on as they searched for R2-D2 and C3PO on Tatooine in A New Hope? Guess the gungan animals they used in were BORN with all the gear strapped onto them and carry it because its attached to them...But if thats what you wanted, well, to bad because Sony/LA feel that the Creature Handler profession was "Not Star Warsy" enough and removed it... along with 20 or so of the other professions the game started with...
Due to the pathetic attempt at making SWG a FPS you can no longer type in chat and hunt at the same time unless you magically aquire an extra set of hands... god forbid you are disabled in any way.
Gameplay now looks like Benny Hill on crack.. freakishly sped up not improved....
Sony Online Entertainment/LucasArts = Hurricane Katrina, and Star Wars Galaxies subscribers = New Orleans. Be prepared at any time to have the game you purchased in good faith on how it was advertised to be completely changed with little to no notice.
If you do decide to go into this game, NEVER ever ever ever prepay for more then one month in advance. Many people paid up to a year in advance to have the game they wanted to play completely changed, and were refused refunds.

Yo im wit you man
i use to play the game way back when tghere was FS village, and 32 pros
SONY screwed things up, I work so hard to become force sensitive and grind for exp points to become master fencer, tera kasi artist, and swordsman.
now all you can do is pick a profession from the beginning and you stay as it for the rest of the time you have the character.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS GAME TO ANYONE THAT HAS PLAYED it BEFORE WHEN THERE WAS 32 PROFESSIONS.
