At maximum level, if you choose the Dark Path you will be spraying lightning from your fingertips and Force Choking your opponents among many other Dark Jedi abilities.

To find roleplayers in game, try the "/who roleplay" command as this will give you a list of player names who have marked themselves as interested in Roleplaying.

Dark Jedi is very good in PvP, you can read more about Jedi combat here.

The two games are going to be very different, SWG still offers some very unique gameplay in the form of a player drive economy, housing, space combat and much more.

I get the feeling that TOR will be a more mainstream MMORPG, that being the case SWG is well worth trying.

I opted to download the 14 day trial program but when i downloaded the first part which was somehting small like 2.47mb i went to my desktop and the Star Wars Galaxies icon was there, i clicked on it and it stated "Program C:\Files\Sony\Station\Station Launcher\Launchpad.exe is not a valid Win32 application."

what's up with that?

Hmm, not sure why the download didnt work, you could try downloading station launcher here: http://launcher.station.sony.com/

You can use that to patch SWG and log in with your trial account.

As for Server choice for those down under, Starsider is probably best to start with.

Starsider has the highest population by far.

Were you not able to download SWG with the Station Launcher either?

I found a guild recruitment thread for them, has contact info in it.

As for the installer errors, what version of windows are you using? You can also try and get support here but I think you have to be subscribed for that.
