Since SOE have ignored the pleas and protests of what was once their community, some of the community members have decided to take matters into their own hands. I present to you Star Wars Galaxies open-source! It's basically an exact copy of the pre-CU version of the game and it's totally free.

It's currently in the testing phase and they're happily developing away. This should alleviate the needs of a good number of MMO players looking for the old SWG back :D

in all honesty they (sony) did break swg by simplifying to much of the elements that should have stayed as it was, for example the jedi class was attained not chosen at character creation. which in turn spoke of actual accomplishment not just, zomg im jedi n00b.

This is the route that most mmorpgs take and they then call it progression, instead i say its regression to go and cater to much for the so called casual gamer. for me personally skill and achieving something, in the real sense of it; requiring some though, work and commitment is what makes a game great. hec then you feel you have really earn that mount, that item, that skill or class and so on.
 
Oh yeah, they completely changed the game. It was an amazing sandbox that rewarded time investment that they turned into a casual-friendly game (subsequently losing the large majority of their player base). It was a stupid move and by simply reverting the servers back to the pre-CU version of the game, SOE would have much more customers than they currently do. Unfortunately, their pride continually gets the better of them, which is why I'm wary of them as a company.
