In 6 months the game will be what it has been since launch. Unpolished, buggy, broken and still in beta. In 6 months the haters will still be posting about how much SOE sucks and the lovers will still be complaining about them complaining. The game will still have around the same number of subs maybe a little higher maybe a little lower. This is how SWG will go until its death if that ever even happens. SOE still runs MXO so I cant see them pulling the plug on SWG anytime soon. I dont see the future of SWG being anything more or less than it is right now and has been for a very long time.

QFE. This guy has nailed it. Chapter 6 has destroyed PVE for everyone I play with. A few elder Jedi came back for PvP. There's nothing else worth doing. We're back to a horrible hybrid between CU and NGE and it's unplayable unless you want to PvP all the time. If you like PvP and have an elder Jedi by all means come back. Otherwise save your money.
Not having a problem soloing with my alt at all. Now how has chapter 6 destroyed PVE? I created a new toon from CL1 and already at CL43. Unfortunately you cant kill things 20 levels higher than you anymore, but where does that make sense. Its all about questing to get your levels faster. If you want to mob grind, go ahead, its just going to take longer. No more soloing 10 Pickets and using a AOE attack to burn them all down at once. If your talking about Themes like DWB (Death Watch Bunker), Rebel Theme Park and Geo Caves. Well unfortanetly you gotta deal with elites now and with a group. But last time I checked, this is where you get the better loot anyway, and who said it should be easy to get. Forget what you know about the old SWG like a old girlfriend and move onto something else or enjoy the game for what it is now.
Yes, all those little things that used to be entertaining for a CL90 and/or his guild are garbage now. -RAW- did Mustafar and DWB runs as a guild daily. Go by those locations now. That sound you hear is the crickets chirping as nothing happens.
Enjoy leveling your character by all means. Then you can PvP or . . . nothing. I'm glad some folks like Chapter 6, but the PVE changes are a huge mistake. 60 days will prove this true. Finally, you're right I can't wait for Age of Conan or Pirates of the Burning Sea.
Interesting.
I've done a number of group runs on all the usual content areas since Chapter 6 and am having no issue at all. As a Medic I actually find myself doing Medic related tasks now in PvE which used to really only be PvP activities.
No, you can't solo everything like you could before, but it is an MMO, some grouping is to be expected. The lack for the need of a group was a pretty big complaint going around before Chapter 6.

Oh yes we can still group and roll through Musty or the DWB, but for some reason since chapter 6 nobody does any more. Boredom? General malaise at the lack of meaningful content? Take your pick I suppose.
The new high level quest lines are garbage too as nobody needs the xp and the loot is awful.
Where do you think this game will be 6 months down the road? With the introduction to Beast Master (Chapter 6) and the upcoming (Chapter 7), do you think there is still A NEW HOPE for this game to return close to its former glory 6 months from now? Especially new games on the horizon like Tabula Rasa, AoC and Warhmmer Online that will also affect many older MMO's out there. As we all know, alot of veterans like myself have returned after many years just to see whats going on. Some do stay, some still leave with digust. I am just curious on your thoughts and where do you think SWG is heading.
Honestly, I doubt it will get to its former glory and other MMO's will have an effect on it for sure. As a vet I've since gone back and gave it one hell of a shot. The game's just too dumbed down for my taste now. Honestly, and no slice on them when I say this but I see a lot of WoW players going over to this once they find out the improvements SOE since done since the hit of the NGE. But all in all... a server merge will still be needed in the end.
As for me, I'm not leaving in disgust, its just not nor will it be what it once was. The patches and the Dev team are doing a strong job and keeping in good contact with the community. All in all its a good game but just not for the more hardcore crowd.
