I bought SWG the day after release and I am having a ball with it.
My opinions on the game:
1. Buggy? yes but they are patching it almost EVERY DAY, they have squashed most major bugs and are working on the rest.
2. No fun? Well... the game is what you make of it. If you sit in one spot sulking because you dont see anyone then that is your own fault. I have met some of the coolest people WAY out in the middle of no where just running around.
3. No story? Well again, the story is what you make of it. It IS a role playing game hence the rpg in mmorpg, so if you get into your character and feel like he is his own being on his own quests then there, in fact, is a story. Also tell me that DAoC has more of a story than SWG, remember that SW itself is about good vs. evil/ rebels vs. Empire. They are making efforts of having player created storylines with special monthly goals and all that... you have to check out the site for more specifics.
Just remember... there will be transportation vehicles within a few months and that will make the game even more fun, and not to mention in approx. a years time there will be the space expansion. I myself will be crusing around the galaxy in an X-wing
