I'm sure there are a couple of servers with nice populations on them, but I have trouble imagining what "healthy" is in the mind of the players, and seeing as the only server I ever played on was Kauri, going back for my free vet time I had trouble finding ANYONE on the server. I know a couple servers have a decent population, but the majority of them are as dead as Kauri. Boasting that "the servers are packed" is a blatent lie when the reality of it is that a couple servers are packed because all of the remaining players form 20+ other servers are being funneled into 2 or 3 and are barely filling them up.
And yes, I want to see this game fail. I want to see it fail miserably, I want to see the servers shut down, and I want to see SWG put out of it's misery. It's for the good of the genre that this happens, as even a remote success from the NGE could be the green light for another company to try the exact same thing with another game, and I don't want someone else to have to go through with that too.
Frankly I would be ashamed if I was giving my money to a company as horrible as SOE. With the NGE, TCG, along with the cash shops being thrown into EQ, and eventually(mark my words) SWG, it's a shame that people still pay them anything, regaurdless of whether you actually like the abomination that is the NGE or not.
Tried: LotR, CoH, AoC, WAR, Jumpgate Classic Played: SWG, Guild Wars, WoW Playing: Eve Online, Counter-strike Loved: Star Wars Galaxies Waiting for: Earthrise, Guild Wars 2, anything sandbox.
The game is actually better now than it was during the CU, yes there are less professions I miss that what you complainers fail ro relize is this is the last sandbox game out there THE LAST. This game still has the BEST CRAFTING and RESOURCE SPAWNING there nothing else like it. This Game has Space content learning to master a X-WING is awesome! This game has player owned GunBoats that you can customize like a player home. Player HOMES are like no other game! The added content is fun they are adding more all the time and guess what its PART OF the $15.00 monthly fee EXTRA CONTENT every 3 months! PVP is fun battles are quick and final not like those long 1/2 hour fights of pre-nge battles lasting 15min are rare. The game as plays today is a very solid game it is a different game but a very good game I tried WarHammer, AoC, EQ2, Vanguard, and I find I enjoy SWG the most. You keep dishing the NGE yea it sucked BUT THIS GAME is no LONGER the NGE and some of you just make up crap. Get the interface mod which gives you the old interface which I perfer and you just might actually enjoy playing again people are coming back new people are subbing you can't stop it. SWG is on its way to be a AAA title again!
Everything you are listing, was in game years before the NGE. It was always been there, except with a much better combat system, A LOT more professions, greater profession diversity, and most of all a much larger population.
This game isn't better. It's just been dumbed down enough to the point you like it.
Why is it invalid to list those as reasons for enjoying the game now jsut because they've been in the game since the beginning...
Probably because of the statement in red. Claims the game is better, then lists everything that was in the game before as the reason of why it is better now.
Exactly, very obvious. I have a hard time understanding why people can't or won't see these things as they are.

I played that pos game for 15 minutes before uninstalling it.
Currently I'm not playing any MMO. Fallout 3 and real life have been keeping me busy enough.
As dumbed down as it is they have no need for CTS server merges...something SWG cannot say.

WarCraft is so dumbed-down that SWG stole the profession-system, the pet system, and a jacked up version of the UI from it...
Oh wait, then SWG introduced mass instancing...
Amazing!
The only problem is that WoW does all of these things MUCH, much better than SWG does.
