Pros: it is Star Wars, it has some good quests
Cons: way too much downtime and need of entertainers and medical centers
The Bottom Line: I think everyone should try it if they like Star Wars, all things deserve a fair chance

| terofin's Full Review: Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided for Windows |
I am a social gamer. I don't have tons of time to be playing on-line games even though I try to. I find it takes too long to level and there is too great a need for the reduction of battle fatigue and wound healing. In my opinion there are too many problems in this game.
I have been waiting around for this game for ... may be yearSSS.... and I find it is lacking in too many areas. I found that the developers spent too much time in making moods and emotes they wasted time and effort on. I think it is nice and all but I don't need the list of moods and emotes for how I feel, a good idea but who is actually using all the emotes and moods. I like that they are trying to make it real but don't at the sacrifice of content.
I find there are tons of glitches, which is expected in a new on-line game between crashes and people jumping to get on and play but they are limiting us (gamers) in places that we should not be restricted.
The first and most important is the fact they close servers allowing only a certain amount of players on. This means that I can't play on a server with my friends(real life or friends made from other on-line games) cause it is closed meaning I lose the xp and skills I had to go play with them... what a waste of my limited time. I understand that the game needs to have uber and newbies so xp-ing should take awhile... so that I can over look.
I am not over looking the fact that I am limited in my skills and professions. I have discussed this in depth for loooong hours with a friend who watches and posts more often, better, and with more insight then I have. I am very discouraged at the fact so few skills and abilities (which there are an insane amount) can truly be achieved and mastered because the template I chose doesn't fit slope movement +20, or feign death cause I don't have enough points to max out and accomplish my template with adequate bonuses. It, in my opinion, is ridiculous.
I do enjoy the blaster fights so that is a plus. I don't think I would have played this game if not for the possibility to be a Jedi and the Namesake. I don't like to tell people if they would like it or not so I suggest they give it a try but be forewarned that the game controls are not like Everquest, like I thought they might be (no biggie) so getting used to it will take some time. I hope this has been useful in some way.
