What Star Wars Galaxies did right

Gamer Limit writes "If there was one MMO in my life that drained the most out of my day, it was Star Wars Galaxies. It wasn't my fascination with the lore, or my lack of friends, but it was the game's dedication to player interactivity, deep character progression, and fantastic PvP mechanics. "

Ah this reminds me of a somewhat funny story.

Years ago, when I worked in a well known games retailer, a guy came in on a Monday morning saying he had bought the game on the Friday and spent all weekend trying to get it to work.
My colleague tried to troubleshoot a little, asking his system specs. When I came over and said "silly question, but do you have internet access?" To which he looked at me puzzled and said "no, why?"

It's a rarity to find an article about such a low key game, but I'm extremely glad you paid dividends to it. This game is amazing.

SWG, we never knew one another, but I'm sure I would've loved you.

Never heard of this game tbh.

SWG was my first MMO i played and I truely was amazed at the whole "open world" aspect of it. I played a few MMOs since then, but I'm holding off until next year when the Old Republic releases.

The Old Republic should be amazing. I never play SWG either, but TOR is my most anticipated game. Too bad its not out for another year.

I LOVED this read....

This game, pre-cu with it's 32 classes ect. was AMAZING. Everything you said in your article really tugged at my heart and rings true for me. I loved swg for the things it did instead of being a mindless mmo like most. I too wish that another game, and I pray for the day, that one will come that can replace what I have lost from swg. Hopefully old republic can do this but i'm sceptical. I just want my swg love and what the old days gave me, back.

pre-cu ftw. If precu never died out i bet the community on swg be huge today. I miss you bloodfin

I used to love hanging out on tatooine and announcing that i was giving free rides to newbies to a place where they could safely lvl. They'd get in my speeder and id take them to Fort Tuskan, then leave. good stuff.

But yeah, b4 they purposely ruined it, this is to date the best mmo ive ever played.

"But yeah, b4 they purposely ruined it, this is to date the best mmo ive ever played."

I agree completetly.

My favorite MMO of all time Pre-CU. Would still be playing it if they didn't destroy the game.
