Version: Star Wars Galaxies: Starter Kit 10-day demo
"Star Wars Lovers Beware!"
Pros: Awesome detail to game. Stays within the theme of the Star Wars legacies story-wise, music-wise and in general. Multitude of quests. People are always around to team with at most times, unlike other games. If you're a Star Wars fan and happen to be 'special' enough to not get hung up on lag and bug issues, then you'll undoubtedly fall for the game very quickly, but beware...look at the cons well.
Cons: All the europeans claim this game is the bomb, but then the servers there are great I'm told also. I really don't understand the differences or why the euros have less issue with the same game in the same instances. Complain about it and they'll seem so helpful at first, but tend to go sour real quick when you prove them wrong. Lag issues were so bad for me, I cancelled my account within the third week after spending what I did to buy the full game discs. I even went so far as to reinstall Total Experience pack after I bought a new gamer-specific pc. It was made for MMORPGs specifically and still...LAG. And as if most MMORPGs aren't expensive enough to buy to begin with...(T.E. disc set cost me 60 bucks at the time I bought it)now this slap in the face to consumers...
25/month?? WHAT!? Hello? What happened to the standard 15/month we all paid to start with? That WAS the standard fee for most mmorpgs and considering your lag/bug issues you raised the price why? Who is a multi-million dollar "icon" of the gaming industry like LucasArts to try to reset the standard mmorpg fee system, causing havoc on older games now considering raising their prices cuz u did and uncertainty in pricing with newer ones? I returned to the game after four months to find a ten dollar increase per month to use those crappy servers for what? It certainly isn't so you could buy better servers or fix the bugs, so it must be to just line your pockets...sad, like you need it. Generally, my issues obviously revolve around LucasArts as a bunch of swindling, finger-pointing morons who think their game is perfect and everyone's comps are what the issues are related to. Take the Star Wars name off it and it's gonna fall flat on it's face! No one would put up with the lag, never mind the awful customer service and now an unnecessary increase in monthly fee. Shame on you LucasArts, for trying to filch even more money out of your customers for what should have been a great game if not for your cheap servers, bugs and poor cust. service skills!
