There are still 'pirate' servers of the discontinued Starwars Galaxies MMO. Unlike the present 'The Old Republic' MMO which is entirely combat and story focused, the old one was totally free form, i.e. you could choose professions and create and trade items without getting into any PvP/PvE.
Now that The Mouse is in charge, expect them to also get shut down like this.

Star Wars: The Old Republic. Had some real growing pains at launch, but has grown into itself quite nicely.

Have a referral link and give it a try.

AFAIK SW:TOR requires admin or you jumping through hoops to not use admin: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=503015

Someone who played swtor stayed over at my place for a few weeks and my guest computer had to be "compromised" so that swtor could run.

Maybe they've changed it in recent times.

PERMITTED DISCLOSURES

1. The fact that there is a Game Program.
2. The fact that you are a member of the Game Program.

So yeah, he's fine.

Apparently no, it does not require the Origin client: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=8488436#edit8488436
However, it does require an Origin account: http://www.swtor.com/info/faq#170974

I was looking over the classes and they basically named one Tank.

Sith who train in the stalwart arts of the Juggernaut boast unrivaled stamina in battle. Through diligence and clarity, the Juggernaut shapes the Force to his will to become nearly invulnerable. Damage that would destroy others is shrugged off, and futility fills the Juggernaut's foes with doubt and despair. Protecting their allies and punishing their adversaries, they charge into the thick of any fray, and take the brunt of the assault and are even able to drain the energy of their enemies to further strengthen their resolve

Darth Zynga

That is so going to be the name of my first sith charcter on Star Wars: The Old Republic.

The Old Republic is what you'd be looking for (some time in the future). There's plenty of sci-fi MMO's out there. Even NCSoft had Tabula Rasa for a while. The quality of sci-fi MMO's is usually not too good. I have hope for the Old Republic.

Just went to http://www.swtor.com/ with FF 2.0.0.16 from Ubuntu 7.04, which sent me to a nice "Welcome old browsers" page. What gives ?
