I heard the economy was really screwed up for a long time.. but they might have fixed all that crap by now.. I havent played it at all yet though.. you're aware that SWG is pay to play?... that usually deters most... maybe go to www.gamespot.com and look up SWG and check out community reviews as well as official review
It's a pretty good game. It;s definetly got a more finished feel to it then it did when It first shipped to stores.
They're starting to fix alot of the issues. although vehicles are still a problem.
and sometimes I can wander into remote areas and never see anyone.
I haven't played in a long time.
For what it's worth, go spend your money on World Of Warcraft. 2x as fun, not nearly as buggy, and one of the funnest MMORPG's I've played in ages.
