Im a nub here so info would be great.
First off if i subscribe to station.com do i have to pay the star wars galaxies fee to or what?
Pvp is Voluntary? so we choose if we want to pvp or not with a flag or something?
How is the Player Population in this game? I dont want to get a game thats dieing? Just an estimate?
Is it really hard to Get the Class you want are the stories long?
IS this a Lvling to 60 kind of game? (hope not)
Is this game worth getting?
Comments
...Yes you have to pay the fee to play.
...Yes PvP is voluntary (ie pointless and for the most part non-existant)
...Population is better than most games... probably because its Star Wars more than the quality of the game though.
...Everyone can persue any class they want... its not "hard" to start persuing a class.
...Its not a level to 60 type thing... you level to "master" whatever profession or couple of professions you want to master. So, yes its a leveling thing... few MMO's don't do that yet (its alittle complicated to orchestra no leveling system atm).
...If you like Star Wars, then yes. But don't expect it to be a game that will hold your attention for any good length of time.
Station.Com is free to subscribe to. Yes you have to pay the Star Wars Galaxies fee if you want to play it, unless you get a Station All Access Pass, in which case you get SWG for free (after you BUY the game, obviously)
Yes
Last time they updated the numbers it's somewhere between 255,000 and 275,000 players. Lately in game populations seem to be growing but new stats haven't been posted yet.
Only Jedi is actually "hard" to get to. The professions are chalenging to master but nothing like the grind in most other MMO's.
No, it's skill based. You will gain 'levels' as you get skills but the levels are peripheral to the skill system though they do affect gameplay.
It's $30, at that price one of the more inexpensive ones out there. Go buy it, try it for 30 days, and decide for yourself. But, in my opinion, Yes.

thanks for the info maybe ill try it when i get some money.
How much is the Station All Access Pass monthly? btw thats what i ment.
I do like star wars so hopefully this game is just as interesting.
Is there a trial i could try first?
Nope, as mentioned in about half dozen other threads there's no free trial for SWG and probably won't be one until box sales slow down. It's been a best seller for around 2 months now since EP3 came out.
The SOE All Access Pass is $21.95 a month and gives you access to (if you own the games):
EQ
EQ2
EQ Online Adventures
PlanetSide
Star Wars Galaxies
The Matrix Online (Soon, I suspect they have some technical/billing hurdles to cross before it is but probably within the next couple months)
Infantry
Tanarus
other downloadable games from SOE

LOL
You will want to just subscribe to SWG then and do the 3 month, 6 month or annual plan. I think the annual plan is the equivalent of about $10 a month but I'm not positive.

whats the 3 months, 6 months, annual plan? lol Whats it for whats it do?
And about pvp its voluntary right? ok so if you turn it on other people can attack you? or you can attack them? Is there certain pvp areas?
Dude
The 3 month, 6 month and 12 month plan is where you pay for 3, 6 or 12 months in advance for a discounted lump sum price. Go to the official site and read the pricing options. Sheez.
As for PVP yes... it's optional.
