Video Game Reviews of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided
Customer Review: this game is crap
Summary: 1 Stars
i've played it for a year and 10 months....i just cancelled my subscription. this game is now the worst game i've ever played due to the recent changes. Customer Review: Not worth $15 a month, find a different MMORPG that is
Summary: 1 Stars
Before November 15, 2005, Star Wars Galaxies was the most immmersive Star Wars game ever created, with a great community. Since SOE decided to completely revamp the game, and they've removed most of the things that made this game great. They removed their intricate and highly customizable 32 proffesion system and reduced it to 9 generic proffesions. They completely changed the combat system to a point and shoot system. It's hard to find people to group with to play the game now because so many people have cancelled their subscriptions. You won't find a lot of veterans helping new players, since most veterans have left SOE entirely and gone to play games from companies with much better customer support and respect, like Blizzard. Most of the things that made this game amazing have been removed, It's just too simple and generic now. Unless you're a very casual gamer, don't bother with Star Wars Galaxies. It's not worth $15 a month anymore. Customer Review: "What a piece of junk..!"

Nuf said this has become the worst online game of all and current players have been duped for a second time - SOE have alot ot answer for and the game has major issues not catering for the disabled or the ill sighted - i feel it will be a matter of time before the game is called in to question.Customer Review: Total disaster - good gone bad
Summary: 1 Stars
I am (was) a veteran SWG player. I used to love the game. I was totally addicted. The game used to have great character uniqueness, hybrid classes, player driven economy, long-term goals, customizable UI, and a lot more.
Now? It is a broken game, not even worth being called in "beta" stage. SOE/LEC decided to push the NGE live on the 15th of December, without much prior notice (only 14 days). Customers paid for a game that has been secretly developed parallel to the existing SWG. Customers are _still_ paying for a game most cannot/do not want to play anymore, because even though the subscriptions are cancelled, some might run out in a few months.
We, as the players, were being constantly lied to, and while we were still asked to provide feedback about SWG, they developed an entirely new, dumbed down game. SOE/LEC has yet to apologize for the hours and hours spent on the game, which have all turned worthless and pointless. Prepare to start over from scrap in 6 months if you do decide to try this game. They will not care, but even worse, will tell you how "exciting" and "fun" this new game will be.
A few of the "great" changes: no hybrid classes, 9 dumbed down professions, complicated and restricted UI, sped up unrealistic movement and animations, no respec, ruined player economy, no item decay, ruined entertainer/crafter, jedi weakest class in game, no new content after cl 30, no long term goals after cl 90, bugs, bugs, and more bugs....
Two main reasons I left the game:
a) Worst Customer Service ever.
b) The New SWG (NGE) is not friendly for disabled players anymore. Unless you have two perfectly funcioning hands and absolutely no visual impairment, you cannot play this game. The animations/movement are extremely sped up, and very irritating, and can give problems (headache, nausea, ...). To control your toon, for example when fighting, you always need the mouse, as well as the keyboard (best would be 3 hands if you actually want to survive in combat).
I am hugely disappointed in SOE and LEC. Absolutely sad to have seen such a great game gone to waste.
Customer Review: NGE Sadness

Okay, I have been playing for almost two years. The New Game Experience (NGE) has totally changed the game and it's combat system and not for the better. It's far more frustrating now than it is fun.
