I LOVED Star Wars Galaxies, until the "Combat Upgrade" and yet I stuck around, NGE completely ruined it though.
2 things that SWG did really well that no other MMO I've played has matched....before the NGE it had the best crafting system I've ever seen in an MMO. Having randomly spawning resources with different stats was brilliant and actually allowed long time crafters and people who spent the time to be better than other people. I was well known on my server as being one of the best chefs because I spent the time to get best resources. Then once you got a good roll on creating the recipe you could save a schematic and keep making the same stuff, until you ran out of resources. It was an awesome system.
The second thing was having entire professions that had nothing to do with combat. My girlfriends favorite profession was Image Designer, she just hung around doing makeovers for people and she loved it. To this day we've played lots of MMOs together and her favorite part is always the character creation.
I would probably still be playing the game if they had just kept adding more content to the original systems that were in place before the CU and NGE.
