I spent a fair bit of time building up my character when the game first came out. It was a lethal combination of a warrior-monk that could also heal and buff everyone around him. That character would go on to become a Jedi - and it was always fun to watch everyone else stand in awe when I pulled out a lightsaber for the first time (of course, I was subsequently murdered by a bounty hunter for having the gall to whip it out in public.) Like other online games at the time, World of Warcraft stole a lot of the game's subscriber base. But Star Wars Galaxies still held onto a core population of gamers who enjoyed its skill progression - myself included.

Star Wars Galaxies was successful because it was unlike other MMO games at the time. swg credits Players could master several classes at once and create characters who suited themselves. You could create a doctor who was a deadly sniper, or a fighting monk who could also build starships. It was also extremely difficult to unlock the Jedi class, but very rewarding.

The game let you really be whatever you wanted to be. You could go out and build a city, and become a politician and eventually mayor of that city. You could become a well-known ship architect and produce starships for some of the best pilots in the game. You could fly into space in a single ship and take down a massive star cruiser - if you were good enough. Or you could spend your time hunting down Jedi scum and picking them off from a hundred yards away with a blaster rifle.
