This game rocks. There's bugs and balance issues and it needs more content, but in terms of gameplay I think it blows Everquest clear out of the water. I just love that the PvP (Galactic Civil War) is not only built into the game, but is becoming more central to the game in The Big Patch.
I actually bought a second account, cause I'm a big geek, so now I have a rifleman/swordsman teamed up with a dancer/medic. I'm thinking of making him a Doctor/Chef with basic entertainer skills.
Rifles aren't as good as I'd like, but melee rocks and is a ton of fun. You have to make some real gut wrenching decisions about what skills you want and when to wear armor. I started out my first character as a medic, artisan, brawler, marksman, rifleman, swordsman, scout, artisan, chef and have since had to back off of chef and artisan, most of scout and some of medic so that I could have the skill points to specialize in Rifleman and Swordsman. There's no harm in picking up every single starting profession and just sticking with what you like the most.
