Obviously this is opinion, but SWG was the worst MMOG I ever played and that includes VG.

It was a truly open ended. Yea because they had no end game, anything without an ending is open ended

do just about anything sandbox. This I agree and enjoyed it was the only reason I played for 3 months

It was HUGE. Yea but it was all computer generated terrain that all meant absolutely nothing. There were no points of interest, no landmarks, no dungeons, nothing whatsoever except stupid nests. Big doesnt mean anything if there is no content in all of that space. It made Vanguard look like wow in regards to making quality content.

My biggest beef is there was literally zero content. it had less content than City Of Heroes. You pulled mission and killed random nests in a boring lifeless world and that was the extent of combat. PVP was pointless and unbalanced badly at the time and ruled by 2 classes. There was nothing to do but gather resources, do tradeskills or hang out in cantinas danicing or playing music. It was the sims online... Even sandbox games need content, UO always had dungeons and points of interest and such.
