"If you're a purest, and can get past the fact that Jedi exsist in fairly large numbers now along-side the Galactic Empire, SWG is a worth while time spender."

Um... 'you're a purest' and 'can get past...Jedi exist in fairly large numbers' just shouldn't be said in the same sentence.

I was with SWG at launch and have tried going back now and again since NGE, but until SOE drops the level-based system and Jedi as PCs, it won't keep my interest for more than a session or two.

SWG was THE sandbox style game that let you play *in* the SW universe. I loved it, though some of the professions still needed considerable work before CU and NGE (e.g., droid engineer, bioengineer).

SOE (and Lucas) made a huge mistake by allowing players to create characters on par with Luke, Leia and Han.
