SWG is a great game, for about two months but then you have completed all the content, mastered the professions you fancied and the only thing left is the long grind to Jedi...YAWN.
That said, SWG does a couple of things better than EQ2...like the vendor system and housing, but that's pretty much it.
If you are going to make the choice I would go for EQ2 every time.
