When I think of SWG as it is now, I think of a few words: Clusterfuck, FUBAR, and "a damn shame."
It's not that SOE doesn't come out with good ideas, it's just that their timing sucks and they suck at implementation. They should have kept the old code workers happy and on staff and the game would be stable right now.
Like others said, the game wasn't perfect before, but it would have kept a stable 150k subs a year at least. You know a game is bad, when a complete and utter Star Wars fan that would buy any Star Wars game that didn't involve only flying, doesn't even want to play SWG anymore.
I play online games to group with others. I think of online games as virtual worlds, not themeparks or single player games with chat capabilities. I expect to live in a player ran and built city, be needed by others, to need others in some way or another, to be immersed in the world, because the art is so damn good as well as the story with it. But hey, what we have now is a single player, broken, incomplete, poorly implemented slap in the face to Star Wars and George Lucas and to all the hardcore Star Wars fans/nerds out there.
P.S.- Blazinblades, I like you man, but do you have to say "bring it on down now" every post? It is so weird that it makes me want to kick a baby kitten every time I hear it.

Bottom line there was more hope and promise then.
Sooner or later your customers wise up and this happend as well, I know I did.
I do wish they just stuck to the plan they had at first.

I gave up on SWG a few moths ago. It wasn't because I disliked the NGE etc.. It was simply down to boredom, there's a serious lack of content in the game. I really didn't fancy grinding like crazy to get up the GCW rankings and that was basically the only content they seem to have added. The Expertise system is nice, but it does make the players stronger in relation to the MOBS and things were far too easy before.
I'll probably go back at some stage, but not until they release an expansion.

"If we don't attack them, they will attack us first. So we'd better retaliate before they have a chance to strike"
