just downloaded a free 14 day trial of swg from fileplanet.
it is a interesting game from the first 30 minutes i have played of it. little confusing at times. too bad after the 14 day trial you have to pay by the month to play it though.

It's a computer game, not a video game that runs on a console like XBox, right? I've heard some stuff about it, but I haven't ever been really interested in video games, so I don't know much.

right toba, it is a pc based game. it's been out for almost a year but i never liked the idea of having to pay a monthly fee to play it so when i saw they are doing a free 14 day trial download, i figured i would give it a shot since i like video games anyhow. did i like it? well lets just say i started playing yesterday at 5am and stopped last night at 11pm  it is a very addictive game! and the hundreds of players in the game treat it as like our role playing forum. for those that dont know, it is a mmorpg. which means something like massive multiplayer online role playing game. so far i started my character out as a marksman (you can start by choosing a marksman, artisan *they build and create stuff*, medic, entertainer, and there are 2 others i cant remember. you then can work your way into the professions like bounty hunters, commando's, politicians, seller, doctor, etc. etc. AND yes jedi's. you can also join the imperial or rebel factions. yesterday i traveled to mos easy where a large imperial group was and saw a small group of rebels come in and start cleaning house!  those rebels were way out numbered by stormtroopers and AT ST's but they wiped the entire imperial forces out. me? well im still neutral since im trying to get my characters stats up so i just sit down and watched. there was a rebel member that run up to me waved and then started dancing, then saluted and ran off LOL so far the game is huge. i have not left the planet tantooine yet if that says anything. |

Whoa.. that sounds like a lot of fun. The monthly fee would make my pretty annoyed though. Wait... do you download the free trial or do you have to have it shipped to you? ::is interested::

you can download it free from fileplanet.com.
although im starting to see alot more advertising for the free 14 day trial from different places.
gamespot.com also has the 14 day trial.
be warned! i have been playing it non stop since i have downloaded it. i have made many friends since joining and probably the coolest one was a guy i met at bestine on tantooine (i still havent left), anyhow he taught me all the diiferent language's and gave me a jedi cloak.
i have been learning the marksman, artisan (so i can build armor and weapons), and the medic trade.
the game is definitly one that takes time to learn your trade so it is something you cannot come in and beat in a couple of days since it has no end.
i do highly suggest the trial to all the members here to try it.
it is really to huge of a game for me to explain it all in a thread, but one of the cool things is in the different cities you can go into the buildings. there are cantinas, city halls, banking terminals, stores, imperial and rebel strongholds, starports for space travel to the other planets, medical facilities and it goes on.
there are bazaars (looks like a atm machine) in all the cities were you access to buy different clothes, armor, weapons, and tools.
i will see if i can get a screen snapshot of my character and post back.
