SWG isn't worth purchasing if you're just going to use it to kill time for a month. I say reactivate CoH.

Get a good single player game instead.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

/agree

SWG is what I'd call a career MMORPG, you need to play it long-term or not at all. CoH is the exact opposite.

Planetside is a good 'pick up and play for a month' MMO game. If you plan on getting EQ2, you can get the SOE all-access pass and get it cheap, too. It's very easy to pick up and play - 15 minute's work can get you to level 4 (Just try out all the guns and shit in training, and all the vehicles, and look at all the base utilities).

But, I'm biased because I want to lure Ferrel over to Planetside with me

I'd vote play the Horizons free trial. It's a decently fun game, although I only know of the crafting angle, since that's what I do.

Play with yourself.

(IMO, get something free and online like Gunbound or Maple Story. Both are good games.)

SWG is about grinding through exp for skills. Skills include Trade Skills and also Combat Skills. And its not usually very fast or fun most of the time.

Hmm, exp grinding. I am good at that, but no it doesn't sound fun.

My friend played it for a little while. He kinda liked it!

SWG is fun, but I am not an exp grinder, I prefer to play for fun. At the rate I was going, I would never have made my goal, because I had the most fun exploring and doing missions.

Well, what sorta goals can you accomplish in SWG?

What kinda professions are fun or lucrative or both.

Is there really a huge point to combat classes anyway?

Honestly if you grind you can max proffessions, all three tiers, in a couple weeks/months. Been there done that, and its not terribly hard, it is just HORRIBLY FREAKING BORING.

I had Maxed, Scout, Rifleman, and most of Creature Handler save for the top tier, while working through Medic and Bio-Engineer. It was really really fun, for like a month, then you realize there is absolutely nothing to it and it just makes you brain dead.

You can essentially macro your way through most everything with minimal attention to what you are doing, and if you pay attention, its just push button risnse repeat for hours on end.

Exploring gets old fast as there is absolutely nothing to really explore, everything is horribly repetative with nothing really in between point A and point B except vast open emptiness.

Creature Handler and Bio-Engineer are kinda fun in a Pokemon-Collect em all kinda way, but it wears off fast, especially when you realize there are like 10 models (Exhageration, but you get the point) for the entire universe and there are just different skins for em depending on whatever planet you are on.

Combat is horribly unbalanced, or at least it was before, not sure now... It was really lamed to get ganked constantly, even by weak stuff, because of the imbalance.

It was great, for like a month, but then you really start to feel the drain and you realize what a horrible piece of crap it is, not to mention running like ass on any decent PC as most all SoE games do.

Note this is all my opinion, but there is really nothing good I can say about SWG. And it was at least on topic. As for the recomendation I recomend restarting CoH. Being so casual, yet horribly horribly fun, it's the best choice, especially for the short term.
