Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided

[Maximus]

Has anyone here played it and if so how is it? I am thinking about getting it even though it is $15 per month. Things I like to know are;

Gameplay
Graphics
Sound
Value
Tech Support
Expansion (Jump to light speed is coming out I have read)
Is it boring?

Basically, I am looking for a space sim that will have the shelf life that Ultima Online & Everquest has. I have played other MMOGs sims such as World War II Online which is great IMO.

Any other space sims worth looking at?

Thanks.
