Journal: My Life after the fall of the galaxy

The fall of the old galaxy has left me in ruins. I am no longer the man I once was. I have fallen from grace and the fall was long and hard. Once upon a time I was a famous dancer. I was known far and wide throughout the galaxy. Life for a time was good. I danced for the masses...the common folk. I danced because I loved to dance. I loved putting smiles on the faces of those who watched me, now thoses faces are no more, they have vanished into the clearing, leaving me alone and very, very sad.
Most of my days are spent in my room playing with myself to the sound of depression. Sadly it is all I know and all I have become. "Why me?" I ask myself everytime I wake up. I wonder what I/we have done to deserve such a cruel fate? And to this I do not know. So day in and day out I continue to pleasure myself hoping the pain of loss will go away. My oh my have I fallen so low.
Wasn't I told I was going to be special when I grew up? Wasn't I a pretty little baby? Wasn't I momma's little angel? And now as I sit in my room in my yellow stained underwear I say to myself "What the hell happen!! And yet again, the answer is the same, I do not know.
All I know is the old galaxy gave me a place to be all I can be, and more. With the old galaxy a thing of the past I have gone from hero to zero. I had gone so low to allow my temper to get the best of me. While browsing the shelves in Best Buy I saw something that made me go pale...it was the game "Star Wars Galaxies: the complete experience". I simply lost it, I grabbed the box threw it to the ground, stomped on it and proceeded to deficate on this vile piece of trash but before I could finish my business I was restrained by security guards
I was arrested and taken to the "bad place" where I met a guy named Leroy Buckshot. It turns it we were going to be roomies for a while. Little did I know I would be in for the suprise of my life.
I went up to to Leroy to introduce myself "Hello, my name is Ich...WHAM!!!! Leroy bitched slapped me and told me to hold his pocket. After I was able to recover from the shock of being slapped I proceeded to ask him "What was that for? Why do you wa...WHAM!! again I was bitched slapped me again and I nearly fell down from the blow. "I didn't ask you to speak, you pink fairy" he said "I told you to hold my god damn pocket". I decided it was safe not to respond and to just obey his orders.
He led me to his room where things begin to get a little strange. I asked him if he was a servant of the Red King. He looked at me funny and said "Who"? "The Crimson King" I said "The almighty being who destroyed the galaxy I once knew and loved" He gave me an even stranger look and told me to shut the hell up and do as I was told...I took that as a no.
During the night he did things to me and in return he wanted me to do things to him. When it was all said and done I was released from the bad place and boy I was not a happy camper, not a happy camper at ALL!!! And who is to blame for my unhappiness, you got it, the red man himself, the Crimson King. If he and his henchmen hadn't of destroyed the galaxy so dear to my heart I wouldn't have lost my temper and sent to the bad place.
As I lie in my bed I come to terms as to what had happened told myself to let it go. I realized what my mistakes were, I should not have lost my temper. The SWG Veteran Refugees would not have been proud of my actions and I vow never to disgrace them again.
As I sleep my dreams are filled with the wonderous sights of the old galaxy and all its glory. We will meet again my love, we will be together again.

RP FTW....
Now if we were on Bria's forums it would be: "Ok so the game sucks, we know it's empty now leave"..
Here its more of a yeah we know, sorry to hear about your loss...( I wish you NGErs that see the light NOW after this crap thought about this when were trying to tell you to freaking listen and take stand back then)...
Maybe if some of you guys had thought this out based on track record and history of how this would end up.
GAH!!!
Yes, I know.. better late then ever etc.. BUT STILL you guys could have helped us over a year ago with this.
I am sorry you had to find out a year later though.

Starwars Galaxies, An Empier Diveded, That's what it says on my box anyway.
I am sorry too Isk. Sometimes I ask myself why do bad things happen to good people. The response I get is pretty simple but harsh in its tone "I"m an equal opprunity punisher son, you and all you others better get use to it." And I see his point and I see it clearly.
The old galaxy wasn't just a game it was a safe haven for those who thrive on creativity. It brought balance to a MMORPG genere that is filled with hack and slash content. So much destruction and killing can be entertaining for only so long. After a while it eats at a man's(or woman's) soul until there is nothing left. That person than feels empty and lonesome. What kind of life is that to live. And yet again I hear that dreaded voice in my head saying "I told you son I don't have favorites, anybody hurt at any time" And once again I see his point.
Imagination will always win over logic any day of the week. With logic you know what is going to happen over a period of time, its just a matter of connecting the dots or following the little red bunny with the pretty orange carrot stick. But with imagination, the world can be at your fingertips in an instant. Nothing is impossible with the power of imagination and creativity. It's like having the "sword of a thousand truths" by your side just waiting to have its chance to knock away the naysayers and haters who poke fun at your antics and customs. Imagination is the icing on the cake that makes young boys and girls smile until the end of time.
I am pretty positive we will have our day in the sun, but I just don't know when, or even how. All I know is that in the end, we will have our cake and eat it too, I am sure of it. And for those who mock us...well let's just say they will always see the world in black and white, and that my friends, is not really life at all.

it has been over a year, and STILL, TO THIS DAY....i sometimes rush home from work, excited to get back into the galaxy where my life once thrived. only to realize over and over again that it is all gone.... i swear it happens 3-4 times a week, even now.
the voices have long been silenced, the cities and planets have long been empty. the thrill and excitement are long gone. and yet, still, i hope and dream....
goddamit it still hurts.

After i stopped playing i lost 60 pounds and got a girl friend.
But i would trade it all for pre cu.
"Hurray, finally a game where I can fulfill my lifelong dream of taking emotionally dead women and finding the most financially viable means to exploit their bodies with the ultimate goal of making them Hugh Hefner's personal furniture."

thx for the encouraging words. i stay positive most of the time, but like the some others around here, the disintegration of the Duck has brought my depression down on me all over again.
Jesus, is anyone going to make another complex, interdependent, diverse sand box game? or are WoW clones all there will be for the next 5 years? seriously?
fuck it, i should just buy an Xbox and forget MMO's

I would say Ichben, Avatar, and H'bsr were the most important people in Starsider, ever. Those 3 people really made the server interesting.

--In MMORPG's l007 is the opiate of the masses.
--The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence!
--CCP could cut off an Eve player's fun bits, and that player would say that it was good CCP did that.
