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

You could also opt for Hunter or Rogue, although you'll have less change of having a huge sword :D
*shrugs*
Goatboy smash. That's all I want to do.
Don't care at all for spells and wizards and pixies and beards. I want to smash people into pieces with a sword longer than my body.

Playing a warrior well is damn tricky though.
Got a sealed copy, shall register etc later on.
So join Dragonmaw, k.
I don't want a magic man, I want a nails-hard barbarian type bloke that can't be bothered with spells etc.

Goaty, if the game wasn't sealed - get back down there and demand replacement. They shouldn't be allowed to open the boxes - not even Gamestation were allowed to do so (and they open every new game, just to put the discs in a drawer).
Stores are also prohibited from giving refunds/exchanges on the game, so you shouldn't have been sold a used copy. I managed to get a refund at GAME but that was only because the box was still fully sealed and was returned 2 hours after I bought it (I bought a 2nd copy for Satan's little helper, but she already had one delivered).
--------------
You should get on Dragonmaw, it's a great server. Don't worry about being killed instantly, there will be no enemies around when you start off, only weak NPC's. As long as you're in your home territory, no-one can attack you unless you type /pvp to enable PvP. Get into Contested, and as said below, you can fight whenever you like. Venture into Enemy territory and you can't attack the enemies unless they enable PvP. Simple.
Finally, you can create multiple characters on the same server - although they have to be of the same faction (Alliance or Horde), this means you can mess about with different races/classes to find a style that suits you. I much prefer magic-based characters, which is why my favourite classes are Druids and Warlocks.
You'll love it. Everyone else who gave it a chance does!

The trouble with Galaxies is Sony Online. They can’t seem capable of realising the games potential. I got tired of it ages ago, waiting for the day it turned from an enjoyable, but dull online game to the Star Wars Online I wanted. It never happened. Months of updates that attempted to fix one thing, ballsed up something else, the forums where full of unhappy people, some of whom actually had good ideas about how Sony could improve on the game. They didn’t seem to listen.
I do remember the time Sony tried to introduce the “Imperial Crackdown” an attempt to make the Imperials a strong dominating force in the game to tie in with the movies. The result? A lone storm trooper walks into a cantina and starts comparing Rebel players “Rock Beatles”. Pathetic.
Great expansion pack though.
