If it's still like the last time I played it the economy is **** up shit sells for shit tons of money vice-versa. The only thing that kept me playing was the fact that i had a friend who would buy money (50 mill at a time) and give me 10 mill. However I did enjoy the vehicles and open world housing plus the way you can put anything in your house kinda like UO. You should try the trial and see if you enjoy it.
I played SWG from beta until the NGE, ground out my Jedi and even pvp'ed enough to make it on the dark jedi council until the FRS was shut off.
The only way to explain this game is like talking to a really hot chick after she's been ***** for 3 months straight by a small army of midgets. She's still kinda hot to look at but all hollow and empty with weird things inside her yet.
SWG use to be a pretty dang decent MMORPG till SOE decided to make it "better".
SWG was one of the few MMORPGs I've ever p2p'd for. I gladly gave SOE cash month after month... Till that day, the day no one will ever forget... The update wars... We the community lost and were forced to move to SecondLife. Which sad to say is better than the current SWG. I'd never recommend playing the new SWG, unless they made it f2p. The current SWG is NOT p2p material at the moment.
In your opinion Jin-Roh. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I personally think that SWG is very much worth $15 and would be paying it month after month but alas, I am in college and with that comes a massive lack of funds. =(
