    I''''m of the opinion that Warthog''''s review is more imaginative than anyone else''''s. However, he''''s in need of a good editor, or maybe just needing a keyboard where it''''s possible to clean the sticky punctuation keys.

    Think of it this way:

    I'm an average Joe. I am 31 years old and grew up enjoying Star Wars. I hear about the game, and decide to go get it. I load up the game, read the manual, and find out I can't get an X-Wing.
    I just lost 80% of my interest in the game.
    Now, when I go around and fight, I realize that the graphics are pretty, but there isn't much gameplay.
    I decide it isn't worth the monthly charge, and cancel my subscription.

    Now, take out the '30 year old growing up on star wars', and you have everquest.
    The game is about going around, enhancing your levels/skills, the end. Yeah, I can nitpick and find differences, too, but the game still only appeals to MMORPG types like everquest lovers.

    That (along with the lack of space) is why I said it is nothing more than EQ with a SW theme.

    I just want to play a SW MMOG that isn't a fp based, planet based, character interaction game. I wanted a space-sim, work on space based skills (like scounting, and lasers, engineering, and piloting, and mining, and capitalship systems), and join in massive wars, like the battle of endor. Not some, "I'm an ewok, would you like me to dance for you in exchange for a haircut and axe" game.

    I'm one of the biggest fans of MMORPGS...

    But the funnest thing I did in galaxies was create a:
    Fat man with a mullet
    Strip him to his wife beater and skivvies
    Teach him dancing
    Take him to the cantina
    And give everyone who came in lapdances and grinds

    "Its my fueltank for love."
    "I'm dead sexy."
    "Buisness in the front, party in the back"
    And random in your face comebacks.
