Is there anything good in the game right now? (returning player)

Hi all 
First of all, sorry for my english, I know it isn't perfect :P
I was thinking about trying Star Wars Galaxies again. I left the game like a month before the NGE was released. Now I'm bored with WoW, and I'd like to try the game again, because one of the things I don't liked about the game before, the grind, seems to be gone.
I loved the housing and the craft. How are them at the moment? Are they still fun?
Anyways, I've read a lot of shit about the game, but I just want to know, from an objective point of view, if the game is really that bad at the moment. Will I at least take some fun for 2 months, til the new WoW's patch comes out? :
Thanks a million for your responses

Its so iconic.
Well since they removed item decay (etc) from the game the economy and crafting got screwed bad... (have no idea why... a rly essential part if your a crafter.. but i guess it's not Star Wars enough
Not sure what u liked about hoses,, but they still exist
And yes, the game is that bad, they transformed it into a mediocre console type FPS game. But maybe thats something you like. The CU type of grind starts after Cl 30...
Personally I dont it's worth the monthly fee as the game is now.
And the server population aint what it used to be, so you will find it pretty empty ingame.
I may add that SOE has changed the game to look more like WOW then ever, so you might find it just as boring.

Since you will be hard pressed to find anyone actually playing the game in the forums here, I will try to give you some info, even though I don't really craft:
Crafting is alive IF you are in an active guild or have a friends list that isn't empty. As far as I can tell, Armorsmiths and shipwrights remains fairly busy. The other crafting professions get business, but it is much less. There is a problem with the fact that many people, since implementing 2 characters per server, have made crafter alts. So crafting is not overly profitable IMO.
The above posters are correct with decay no longer existing and decreasing demand from repeat customers. Loot items have become predominant in several areas, particularly with high end weapons, clothes, and some armors.
Obraik would be able to give more info on crafting as he crafts daily with his Armorer.
***pfft double post***
well combat wise the game is pretty ruined but i think u will have fun for atleast 2 months while u gather every "rare item" in the game by yourself for they made this game so simple and easy that a 7yr old can play it.
but if u hated the grind! its still there. crafting i think is the same boring lol until your a master.
why did they make it harder? or made the grind less of a grind?
dident see a point of playing anymore when i finished getting everything i needed and wanted.
I tried to regrind but I found myself very resentful that I had to work to get back what I had already achieved. The interface, the controls, the content were all ok with me but I will be damed if I am going to re-grind just because some execs decided to ruin the game I loved and set me back in my own experience.
I personally enjoyed ToOW. Very colorful planet and finally a place where if you tried to walk on lava you actually take damage... always wondered why Lok's lava was so cool to the touch...
Anyone ever set up a camp on that volcano? I think it would be a great place to throw a party lol...
Did you ever get your characters to level 90? If so, then you should file a ticket and see what happened.
you'll have more fun taking 15 one dollar bills and burning them in your bathroom sink.
i recently resubcribed 2 months ago to check it out. it's now a horrible, horrible, horrible abortion of a game. the servers are empty. the cities are empty. the player towns are empty. despite no one playing, it's laggy. the combat system sucks. you run around on hyper speed like a crack addict. everything you owned pre-NGE - resources, loot, weapons, armor - is now useless crap. the 9 new "starwarsy" "iconic" professions blow serious chunks in terms of fun or strategy. they overloaded on particle effects so now everyone is like an EQ wizard/palladin casting spells everywhere (wheeeeeeeee!).
like 99.999% of all vets who re-subscribe, you'll cancel within the month.
