A few weeks ago I got my SWG JTL beta invite int the mail. I beta tested it. now that beta is over and the Non discloser agreement has been lifted I will give you my review on it.

The over all concept is good. the way you can custimise ships is really cool. But like weapons you must be certified to fly ships if your not certified it wont let you fly them. YT 1300 And all other multipassenger ships you must be master pilot to fly. And the grind is worse then jedi. You must grind more than 1 mill to get the certs to fly an X-wing not counting the 3 skill boxes you get with completing the quest missions. Space sectors are not big at all. And theres forced PVP in there which before the devs said there before. So they basicly lied. Again.... Loads of bugs just like the ground game.. I would not recomend this one.

my roommate had the beta and it looked just like X-Wing Alliance, just lamer.

Try the Freeworlds mod for Freelancer. That's a bit more fun than that crap.

Arg... sounds as bad as regular SWG. I only played the trial for about a week and a half and gave up on it because it got so mind numbingly boring because of how much effort you have to put into leveling up. I can imagine how much of a pain in the butt trying to level up to get a decent ship. Trying to get the credits just to get a vehicle was a pain in itself.

Can you kamikaze your ship into other ships?

No they took out collission dmg to avoid greifing. Heh another thing the devs did half *** Is they said flying on a planet couldent be done well I client side modded the grounds terrain up in space but only I can see it but still I proved there theroy wrong. But I will buy it and still play the game. But I refuse to grind. I worked all summer on pikeman still havent mastered it. And now I have to get 4 million to get master pilot. Aent ah! No way.

Anybody else having trouble deciphering what he's trying to say?

I would castrate myself with a butterknife before I installed that crapfest on my computer again.

Yeah I pretty much agree with the above comment there.

??

You know I really don't find SWG too difficult. I think it's a hell of a lot of fun. I'm working on getting commando right now, and the only thing I can see that could be improved is the fact that I don't get to fight the "cool" monsters and enemies yet because my character is still too much of a pansy. But this will be fixed when I level up. So who cares?

Ugh. Well have fun wasting your life away playing that pile of trash. If we have to explain it to you then it's hopeless.

Play a REAL GAME, people. There's the Guild Wars World Preview event this weekend and World of Warcraft open beta soon*... Both of those games are super uber and way, way, way, way better then SWG ever was or ever will be.

* soon as defined by Blizzard Inc. May vary from traditional definition of soon.

What's this information based on?

What do you mean? It's obvious you haven't played SWG if you're asking that question.

Forgive me for not wasting my time on a stupid video game.

That's the whole point. :p

I've played World of Warcraft and Guild Wars, and I must agree that they are infinitely better than SWG.

dont even give it such high praise. It was a stupid *** lame video game.

Which information?

Guild Wars World Preview Event: http://www.guildwars.com/press/pr06-10-27-04.html

World of Warcraft Open Beta: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/#ob

I played Guild Wars during the first preview event this past summer (or was it last Spring?), and had a blast. I am currently playing World of Warcraft in the closed beta and it r0x0rs your b0x0rs.

I had a friend who said that the begining of the WoW beta was better than SWG is now.

The SWG Beta was better than it is now...

Beta 3 Forever!

Are you kidding me? SWG beta was buggy and crappy. WoW Beta right now >>>>>> SWG has ever been, and ever will be.
