    While those who have not taken to the Jump to Lightspeed expansion may feel a little forced to do so (and make sure you have the right ship), the game combines new missions that drive the story and give players a much better sense of being part of the Star Wars universe.

    The new planet is very much alive and dynamic. It's got more features than any other planet in the series.

    As you'd expect, there's a wealth of new characters to meet, and over a hundred challenging new quests to complete. Whether you're an Imperial stooge, a Rebel troublemaker, or an independent freelancer, there's more than enough to keep you busy.

    Things are finally looking up for the big-name MMO that reached for the stars but never seemed to get off the ground.

    It's almost as if not enough time has been spent on either this or the Combat Upgrade, making it impossible to accept RoTW as it stands. [July 2005, p.95]

But its time people stopped Sure the combat upgrade system has tons and tons of bugs and has caused many players considerable headaches. But its time people stopped grubbling and lived with it. The new expansion offers a new planet and space zone as well as thousands of new items. It is an expansion long overdue. Planets have become overused so this was a fresh breeze in terms of gameplay.… Expand

An hour later and you'll find a whole new lease of life in a game that had started to become stale. Now Jump to Lightspeed has some meaning, combat (when taking advantage of it's new features) is more tense and tactical and quests are now long term investments rather than head to waypoint, kill, return. Give this some time and you'll be rewarded.… Expand

The devs completly ignored 70% of their player base and pushed it forward, and killed any individuality of the game, making it just like any other MMO on the market, except with a boring slow combat system, no real plot, and only content now being on kashyyyk. A game I would suggest avoiding at all costs.… Expand

Until they satisfy these 3 major problems almost EVERY tester of the CU had you cannot give this game a passing rating. They ignored the customers, pushed out the cu and ROTW and have not given satisfactory answers or reasoning behind the need for a hard level system in a game previously about crafters and community. IF you enjoyed crafting and community the great interface is all that remains. No matter what you won't top looted crap, which totally negates weapons and armor crafting as viable professions. Those who do it charge way to much for decaying items just to break even. Only viable combat profession now is BH/mixed or Jedi which just saw a major nerf. They complicated smuggling slicing and still have yet to give smugglers ANYTHING TO SMUGGLE! Can you believe these devs still have jobs?… Expand
