Star Wars Galaxies Overhauled, Free Trial Offer
Like most other massively multiplayer online games, Star Wars Galaxies is still reeling from the success of World of Warcraft, which has left it with a fairly limited number of players (well, that and the fact that the game sucks). In an attempt to attract new players to the game, the developers have given Galaxies a massive overhaul by revamping the character classes and improving the combat system. The hopes is that they can give players immediate gratification, and downplay the XP grind that most MMORPGs are known for. For example, if you want to become a Jedi, you can now choose to play one right off the bat. As expected, this has caused some major backlash among the current players of the game, which may cause some to wonder if an overhaul was such a good idea. At any rate, if you want to try out the new changes, they are offering a 10 day free trial of the game, in addition to selling a Starter Kit in stores at a budget price of $19.99.

The game before the unwanted and unneeded ‘Enhancements’ did not suck!
It used to be awesome.
Unfortunately after the game downgrade they call the NGE it does suck now.
The game was an interesting, fun, RPG that encouraged interaction and interdependency of players, where you could choose your path and skills, mix professions and change them at will, with a great community of loyal fans.
Now its a boring FPS with no diversity, stereotyped fixed professions, no depth at all, no fun, and a buggy, broken interface.
Player guilds are collapsing, and Veterans are leaving by the thousands.
The game is ruined.
