You’d really expect to have more tools at your disposale than just a droid and a gun. In my vision of Star Wars Galaxies as I beleive it should have been (I like to call it SWG 2) this is what I think …

There are so many MMORPG’s in existence today but almost all of them follow the same basic principle. Leveling, grinding and raiding. It’s the MMORPG hook to get you addicted and feel like you have to keep ‘working’ to level your …
