I sure hope they have a 14 day trial or something after launch.

My main issues with it back then was the client's propensity for crashing, which I'm sure has been addressed since then, and the heavy FPS style/interface, which I'm sure has not. I never did get to where I thought SWG's interface was anything but shite (stupid reticles), and in both games I spent 99% of my time in the alternate, non-reticle mode. The crafting was reasonably interesting. Dunno what they've done to it in the meantime. Downside was, typically, 18,000 components and 8 bank slots (and encumbrance). What I liked the most was the skill-based system. Again though, I could be so far out of date it's not funny. Go make your own impressions, it's certainly worth a try.
