I was thinking about getting SWG, now I was sure its a pay to play, and if its not than thats cool. Now my question is is it worth paying the good money to get. Any feed back would be great.

The game is very addicting and time consuming. Be warned!
There is a 10-day free trial you and use to try it out to see if you like it. You can get to that from:
SWG Home
When the flash loads, just click on the 'Try it now' button at the top of the flash.

If you're not looking to become a Jedi, then I guess the game is good for you (I don't have it). I say this because I've heard that, with the updates LucasArts has made, it is rather hard to find that Jedi path. ----------------------- Cleric "Cosmic" Vor'soth

I'm downloading the SWG trial just to see how things have changed, because they probably have since last time i played it you could still use holocrons to get to jedi knight hood (i sold my christmas gift one and another i bought for 1k each for 1 million credits). ----------------------- TRP/SSG Sniping101/4SQD/1PLT/1COM/1BAT/1RGT/VEA/VE [LoR][IH][BoA]

In a soon to be update, SOE is making it so anyone and their mom can be a Jedi now. They have basically made the Jedi path public to anyone who wants to be one. It would probably take just as much to be a Jedi (possibly more) than to be any other elite combat profession. Jedi are also now going to be on even fighting grounds as the rest of the combat professions.
When the changes go into place, all you'd have to do is say you'd want to go down the Jedi path and then you can start the journey.
Here is a link to some more information about the update:

Everyone and their mom was already a Jedi anyways. Only problem was that you couldn't kill them very easily. Once they got certain abilities, it was almost impossible to kill them unless you got lucky.
In PvP, it was lots of Jedi vs lots of Jedi....not very fun. Now they'll be just as easy to kill as the next melee profession depending on their skills/mods. Hopefully this change will make it a more even playing field. ----------------------- Grand Moff Kadann, Dark Lord

Thats waaay better anyway. I played the demo last night and i must say i'm quite unhappy with the way they changed things around, it doesn't look like theres crafting professions anymore unless thats what a trader is, all and all it seems like they've just made the amount of professions to choose from very small, there used to be a whole slew of basic professions and advanced professions and you could have a pretty good mixture, but from my few hours playing as a smuggler last night it look like multi-classing wasn't possible (if i am wrong about something it could be that the demo is extrememly limited to just one space station) i still had some fun although to smuggler class seems a little pointless its still my favorite just so i can say 'I'm a smuggler' . I don't think i'll be coughing up $15 a month to play it, maybe theres a little more to it than i saw, if there is some one please tell me, i a my take a whack at playing some of the other professions (like Jedi) tonight. personally i liked the game the way it was when i bought it better. space wasn't that great, i couldnt controlt he pitch of my craft, it says you can do it with the mouse but they're lies. And yes, i did hit the ALT key and change between to two modes and it still made no differance. i did have rudders and i could roll which meant i could control it enough to get my one space mission done. ----------------------- TRP/SSG Sniping101/4SQD/1PLT/1COM/1BAT/1RGT/VEA/VE [LoR][IH][BoA]

i really hate to even half agree with vint, but some of our former members are former members because of SWG. then again i know a few of our current members play it still.

space combat works with a joystick althought the controls are wierd (pull the joystick to the side and you *turn* like you're using a rudder, turn the rudder and you roll, really annyoing and difficult to use) i don't know why lucasarts always dose it that way either and you can't change it, otherwise i'm thinkin of paying the monthl fee just for the space combat. ----------------------- TRP/SSG Sniping101/4SQD/1PLT/1COM/1BAT/1RGT/VEA/VE [LoR][IH][BoA]

Well it was a good thing I didn't get SWG... just yet, because of the simple fact that my laptop's video card does not have the umph to run it properly, then again my laptop doesn't really have the umph to run KoToR2.

I just started playing again. The new targetting has some problems, but I think it adds some more action to the game. Snipes there are crafting proffessions. The Traders there are 4 versions of them, which are all crafting. Domestics, Structures, Munitions, and Engineering. Pretty much all of the old crafting proffessions are there just mashed some where in one of the four. ----------------------- DarkDragoons
