We were players

I'm not here to protest.

I'm not here to scare off new players.

I'm not here to form a group against SOE.

I'm here because I loved that game. Addicting... maybe but it is over. Everything comes to an end, I didn't realize how much the game affected as a human being.

I'm here because it is the "Veteran Refugee."

I'm here to stay social with the people that shared the same experience I enjoyed two years ago.

We're not going to be teased or put down for playing in an online world that we all cared and spent our hearts on.

It says something that here we are, 18 months after the NGE, reminiscing about how much we loved preCU SWG.

I'm still passionate about it.  I'm not over it.  It was one of the greatest gaming experiences I've ever had, despite all its many flaws and shortcomings.

Because you knew, deep down in your bones, just how much potential it had.

Good way of putting it.

Bugged and unbalanced it may have been but thats not what makes a game. Its the feel you get from it. I really felt like I was part of the star wars universe. We were not forced into pre-selected roles to follow, we could make our on decision to follow a path fully or mix them up.  Then there is the community...was the community...full of life and living and commerce and combat. Not everyone was trying to be a hero, not everyone wanted to be. Everyone just wanted to live in the star wars universe.



It's so dumbed down now its heart breaking. The fact that we once had 32 professions which we could mix up and had that downgraded to 9 cookie cutters is insulting and disrespectful. I loved being able to group with 15-20 other people to take on rancors or getting together multiple maxed groups to take on krayts.  Now they're all superheroes who can solo them all.



Yes I'm ranting a bit but goddamn if it wasn't the best mmo I have ever played. I have never played another mmo as consistantly as I did SWG before the NGE...the CU was.....ok.....didn't like the changes in grouping and being able to get super buffed by doctors and solo everything but at least we still had a good community and a long range of how would could advance ourselves.



I miss my smuggler. Selling slices and spices. I mean where the hell is that content now? Slicing weapons was a HUGE money maker...doesn't even exist ugh....sorry guys. hasta.

No soul.  Soe  ripped the soul from this game and left a lifeless husk standing.   I played the new ch6.  It only proved to me that the devs still haven't a clue as to what made swg a great game.

Agreed. I re subbed for 6 to see what it was going to be like. Thankfully I got like a dozen free game cards from a local game store because they just dont sell at all so I don't really pay for the game. Still can't bring myself to keep playing even though it is free.
