i don't play and don't know a whole lot about the system, but for anyone who does play, there are supposed to be major changes to the gameplay that should hit test servers within the next week. most significant: the refactoring of the skill progression to be class-based, and the shift from auto-targeting to point-and-click target interaction.
like i said, i'm not familiar at all with galaxies, just some stuff i heard. i don't think soe was planning on releasing this info to the public until it made it to the test server. i'm hoping this is wrong, since it seems really shitty to pull the rug out from under an entire playerbase without warning but i wouldn't put it past soe ><
star wars galaxies?

Not a joke. They're taking the amount of classes from 35 down to 9, streamlining the shit out of combat (I've read something akin to "No more button mashing abilities with the best weapon available. It's gonna be Point and click to attack, right click for the chosen special ability").
Combat will probably feel much more FPS-like form what I've briefly read.
There's essentially doing a SWG - total conversion.

Then again, this might be a con as well. Can't really trust internet message boards.

It will be EQ2/WoW in space with Jedi as one of the starting professions. Looks to me like a last ditch effort to save the game. Its been in drastic decline for months now and server populations are so low its hard to find a group most days.
