I've had it with SW Galaxies.
I've been playing since December, slowly progressing until I reached Master Marksman and decided to pursue the Jedi initiation.
Now this takes a lot of work, a lot of travelling and a lot of quests.
The Rebel quests have taken me 2 days so far, and today was another update/patch.
Which has screwed the game beyond tolerance.
As a rebel, you have the option of Covert or Overt. Overt means you're open to attack from Imperial NPCs (Stormtroopers, AT-STs etc), and I didnt want that so I was covert.
Nicely doing my thing.
But the patch today removes overt/covert and replaces with
Special Forces - All can attack you including other players
Combatant - All Imperial NPCs attack on sight
On Leave - No attacks from NPCs or player.

So logging on, I'm promptly attacked and killed by 13 Stormtroopers at once. I think "Wtf?" and get cloned. Realise I have to declare myself "On Leave" so that Imperials dont attack on sight (and they're everywhere).
Go to Rebel Base to continue the quests for Jedi and?...."You must be a member of the Rebel Alliance to enter"
???????????????????????
I can only continue these quests, I'm 2 days in, if I allow myself to be attacked by each and every NPC around?
But this has taken me almost a month to get this far, this is dumb.
Ok, I'll declare myself Combatant so I can carry on.
BANG, 11 Imperials kill me in 15seconds flat.
I go back to Cloning Station and? Imperials outside, kill me again.
I get killed 8 times in 5 minutes, I cannot move without being attacked.
I can't continue my Jedi quests without being attacked at every turn.

Balls to it. I'm not tolerating that, it's dumb and has flushed 3 months down the toilet.

So - the point of this post -
I've bought World of Warcraft, installing in a bit.
What's a decent server to look for?
Should I find a guild to join?
What are some of your names to add?

Poxy Lucas, has to choad a previously fun online game just like he loafed over the new movies.
Bah

Don't fancy paying stupid subscription charges. Plus, makes me feel uncool.

Me too.

But I can't decide if I really want it or not.

Hmmm.

I hate online games, all I want to do is naff about a bit and then some kid from Japan kills me in under a minute. All the time.

I fancy playing this game now.

Cheers Bullet, that's about the style of my play.
I don't mind rucking by any means, but to have nerdy kids that have played since beta and are obscenely tough demand fights or attack with no provocation is of no appeal.

I've got to go run errands and dont want to stop playing after 30 mins, so I'll be on around 4:30 to wander about be a newbie all over again

Goatboy - Choosing alliance was the best option if PVP is secondary to Questing.

Very, very rarely do Alliance controlled territories get raided. And besides, you'll never get attacked, or run the risk of being attacked unless you enter enemy land or enable /PVP of your own free will.

even if a level 60 nerd comes strolling past you, he can't touch you unless you start on him.

See, this is what I was asking.
It happened when I played SW, I was a novice pistoleer trying to earn XP and gather my strength and some moron 13yr old Master Bounty Hunter kept trying to duel me "Fight!" "No, I'm busy" "Fight me noob!!" "Shut up"

I'll be on that server in 20 or so.

TBH that really doesn't happen. I've been attacked by the Alliance maybe...4 times in the two weeks I've been playing it. There are raids daily, but you can stay in the city and the guard will protect you.

Also, most players won't attack someone who is 5 or more levels lowers than them.
