This game has bugs, even though they are being addressed on a daily basis, the ping rate is rather high (even with a deluxe DSL package), which causes a horrible drop in frame rate, and the system requirements (it calls for a 900 MHz minimum) are rather stiff. Counter that with a player-based economic system that is rich, a focused character development system and overlapping skill trees that have depth, incredible graphics all against a wondrous backdrop of the Star Wars universe. This is a gem in the galaxy of MMORPGs. It has a way to go to work out the kinks, but this is a game with depth of play and will likely have staying power.
