Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided Quick Reference Guide : Prima's Official Strategy Guide

Rating:
Summary: Why?
Review: Ok Prima and all the major Cheat Books are releaseing and rereleasing editions to books based on MMORPG's. The point is within a matter of months a guide dedicated to this type of game shall be obsolete.

I fell victime to the first round of these books when Star Wars Galaxy came out. With it I got the book thinking "Cool something to help me" figureing this was my first MMORPG. Upon opening the book and loading up the game I realized how pathetic the book was. The skill trees in the orginal edition were changed within a few months by Sony's Devs when they revamped the Bounty Hunter Skill.

Also the books inadequete with the listing of skill trainer locations and other locations as well figureing SOE can and will change the location of static NPC's at there chooseing. The orginals did not cover Player Cities nor could it since they are created by the players and figureing to have all listed they'd have to run through ALL servers since this game runs on multiple servers and each player city is in a different location. Oh did I mention there's a Combat Revamp and since the publication of this book Jump to Lightspeed's been released? That means new Trainers, Starship docking locations and many other JTL related items.

If you want to throw money out the window by all means buy this and all the other MMORPG books. If you want to find out how to be good seek out people in game and befriend them and as you get to know them learn the tricks of the trade. Otherwise you buy a book and it may be correct as of the time of it's writeing but within a matter of months it'll be obsolete especially with SOE's plans on relaseing more expansions for this game.

These books do not teach exploits, cheats and quick ways how to beat a game as you'd expect from a guide. Either way Exploiting is illegal and against Terms of Service and is the quickest way to getting banned. Take this as a grain of salt if you want but if you buy any of these than I hope you get enjoyment out of it and then when what I said comes true than remember I told ya so.
