Yep and it was a good one until the NGE when they made Jedi a class you could pick. Galaxies is suppose to take place during the Galactic Civil War, when any Jedi that might exist are few and far between. Originally, the Jedi class was something that was totally random and had to be happened upon (usually through playing a long time and building a skill tree big enough). Now, there's just clans of Jedi running around, slaughtering anyone they feel like because they can. I've heard stories of groups of them running through Tattooine and just destroying the Stormtrooper outposts because they can (they're Jedi, so they're pretty much unstoppable in a group).
Jedi are suppose to be hard to play (you need to hide from the Empire) and few and far between. The old RPG got it right, but Sony and LucasArts screwed the pooch when they made it a class you could pick at the start. That, and from one of those links I followed, it seems that a lot of players had their characters taken away when the NGE was implemented. It's no wonder so many people left it and went to WoW.

That really sucks. Stupid MMOs. If I wanted to interact with other people, I would go out and interact with people the old fasion way.
lord jedi, how did they ruin Galaxies? Wasn't that always intended to be a MMO?

Ah, now I understand what you mean. That stinks. The Star Wars universe has a lot of fasinating things beyond the Jedi, in fact I don't find the jedi that interesting, especially since 1999. I was pretty disappointed when they switched Dark Forces 2 to a Jedi game from the original mercenary for hire theme it had in the first game. I can imagine people feeling much the same way about this. Stupid jedi, they ruin everything!
I also think paying for a subscription to a video game is kind of dumb, especially since I have to pay for the software to start with. It would make more sense if you subscribed to the game and they sent you the software. Why should I have to buy a license to run the program, then a subscription to be able to use it?
