    QUICK POLL: Who plays Star Wars Galaxies

    As title who plays and what server are you on?
    I play on Chimaera Europe as a Bothan named Harkri Dunlei.
    But I am thinking of starting on a new server with a nice new character.

    Also I have just ordered City of Heroes from the states and this may take up some of my time.

    I used to play it but it got boring quick - I got my parents to ship me over a copy from the US before it came out here so I started on the Bria server.

    For me it suffered the same fate as Ultima Online (but at least I managed to play that for 18 months) - once you have maxed out your character(s) there is no real challenge.
    As the accounts are limited to 1 character (per world) each, you don't get so much opportunity to play different character classes without getting multiple accounts (I had 3 on the go).

    The graphics engine was good, but Far Cry's engine blows it away for quality, speed and viewing distance.
    The client (in)stability and excessive load times were what annoyed me most I think - and the constant unfulfilled promises from the devs for character class changes.

    Maybe I'll reactivate an account when the space expansion is released, but by then I might be tinkering with Dragon Empires or World of Warcraft.

    My 3 accounts are:
    Master Smuggler w/Pistoleer/Scout/Medic skills
    Master Weaponsmith / Master Armorsmith / Master Artisan w/Businessman skill
    Master Brawler / Master Pikeman w/Scout/Medic skills

    With buffs the brawler was the most fun to play by far
