Star Wars: Galaxies was my one and only experience with MMOs. I liked it quite a bit, but then SOE decided they needed to make it more like Wold of Warcraft, and killed the economy based system the original game was. I quit soon after.

I'm somewhat excited about the new Star Wars MMO, but I'm still quite leary, after what had happened with Galaxies. I'm also not a big fan of being stuck with one game for an extended amount of time; There's nothing wrong with having a game with a lot of replay value, but I don't want to have my life dictated by it. Still, I have this odd feeling that this game was the reason why I didn't hesitate to upgrade to a new computer, when the old one started acting up.
