The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Tensaimaru] and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.

First off, to say that this game is 'Newbie Friendly' is a farce.
The players don't want to have any interaction with you till you've
reached max level in your chosen classes. Even if you've managed to
level your chosen classes, you are still mostly ignored. Asking for
help both over OOC channels to get a feel for the game and even the IC
channels to find something you need to make items or whatever go
unanswered. However, the general chit-chat on the OOC channels range
from the mundane to the absurd.

With so few games these days claiming to be a SW:FotE code base, I
had high hopes for something unique. Sadly, like some of the other
remaining games this one seems to have fallen into disrepair. I can
look past the stock areas and quests, and in fact was looking forward
to experience them! However, once those are completed the player
interactions where non-existent unless you happened to roll a female
and dress her as any stage performer would. And then you don't want
to know!

With a rather high TMC rank, I had such hopes. Sadly, those were
misplaced. Anyone looking to try out a Star Wars themed game needs to
move on.

(The following review comment is the opinion of the comment's author [GageEndal] and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff).

I do have to disagree with this game not being Newbie Friendly, many 
of the players will answer questions over OOC about gameplay and 
general skills in the game. I've been playing the game since before 
there were the players that we have now and even when I roll a new one 
I often find that if you're up for a bit of fun that many of the 
players will interact with you quickly, you just have to place 
yourself in front of them. Finding them may be a challenge, but 
there's always the Econo Lodge.

As for the bit about only females dressing slutty get attention, 
that's a bald faced lie, I used to be one of the heads of the game 
(until one of the coders took liberties... whatever) I would often 
snoop players randomly to check for RP and I would reward it well. I 
don't think I ever saw anyone using XRP before.

The game is good and is well worth a try, and even if you don't stick 
around then perhaps you might make a friend or two.
