They both have their good and bad points. Might as well flip a coin.
lol no its really bout wots worth my money in the long shot i jus like both the games but WoW is lookin like the game 4 me cud any1 giv me a quik review?
What type of game play are you looking for?
Ico
Oh, cruel fate, to be thusly boned. Ask not for whom the bone bones. It bones for thee.
Neither game has "good" PvP or "good" roleplaying communities so I'd recommend doing the trials for both games and seeing which one you prefer. SWG's trial is easy to find and for WoW you need to pick up some magazine or other.
here is my review/comparison of both games. Lets start with World of Warcraft.
WoW is set in the warcraft universe (duh) where 2 factions battle it out 24hours a day. wow is simple to learn and easy to use, the graphics are not realistic but they still look cool. Big swords and big shoulderpads, cool spells and ridable mounts. There is an abundance of things to do and there is alwase quests, some require partys and some dont. the community in wow is full of idiots tho. you will meet up with snotty 10yearolds or 20yearold who act like 10 yearolds becuse its a game. but normally you will find a nice guild and make some cool and helpful friends. the pvp in WoW it basic, if you are not lvl 60 (max lvl) you cant do shit in pvp. normally the Horde faction is dominant. so alliance has a hard time in PvP. wow is very addicting tho, even though some of the stupidist things happen to me, and i say i will never play again. but for some reason i go back after about 5 minutes. Support form the GM's is non-existant it takes around 3hours-3days for a response from support. wow is a good game, it has bugs, and gay things. but at least its fun..
SWG, i only played SWG once and i loved it. i played the 14-day trial and i enjoyed every hour of it. (this was before the combat upgrade) the graphics is SWG are great, the community was nice, and the battle between the 2 factions was fun. i loved hanging out in the cantina between quests and watching the jedis come in and kill eachother, it was quite a show, just like the movies
there was an infanite number of quests but they are all the same, (find the monster lair, kill the monsters, kill the cave) still fun tho, there are player-run shops evrywhere (unlike wow) and you can have your own house (unlike wow) the character customisation is what i liked. there are many diffrent planets to explore, and you can even battle in space-ships. SWG is fun but its not as popular as WoW.
i give wow an 8.5
i give swg an 8
wow just "feels" better to play than SWG in my opinion, they are both good games, and they both have their bad and good things.
yeah that combat upgrade ruined it for me
Oh well I like this game more

read this http://www.vanguardsoh.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1044304#post1044304 then come back and talk to me about the vanguard/soe fiasco.....
U shouldn't buy wow. U'll be happy with it for 1 week and then u'll get bored of playing it. Much freedom, bad graphics, VERY bad pvp, normal gameplay and the worst community ever.
WoW ftw!
