"but this game is honestly pretty decent compared to what you other vets make it out to be. "
This is so wrong. Well how you feel about SWG is just subjective. Its how YOU feel. I like other vets tried it and it was not more fun there was not more people and thats how I feel.
Giving others a hard time, calling them names because they feel different does not make you right. I am one of those that went back and didnt like it. Lets not forget its not a NEW mmo. They didnt .. did not boost graphics, animation giving it a whole new look.
So if someone likes its great. If they dont .. relax they have the same right.
I'll be interested to know if the OP enjoy's it still, after a few days. I enjoyed my 5 year vet trial, for 3 days... then I was done everything and it was back to square one, not much to do.
Finally somebody with an accurate view of the game. How refreshing.
Accurate = conforms to pdxgeek's worldview
Yes, I am still playing, and I actually resubscribed today.
And to the poster above: I did not give anyone a hard time in here, I came here to post a good natured post about how I was enjoying the game, and how it isn't as bad as people bitch and moan about on these forums. You could say it's contrast. I'm not here to pressure people into playing it, I'm merely here to explain my contempt with the game at this point in time. And yes, this game is better than people paint it out to be, there is no "wrong" in that sentence.

That's absolutely true. However, as soon as someone posts that they like the game, they are instantly branded as a fanboi/viral marketer/shill by the usual suspects around here. I think that's more who that quoted comment was directed toward -- those who insist that anyone who says they enjoy the game is being paid to say that.
So I started to walk into the water. I won't lie to you boys...I was terrified. But I pressed on, and as I made my way past the breakers, a strange calm came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things, but I tell you, Jerry, at that moment ... I was a marine biologist.
Just letting you guys know that i don't work for soe, i'm not getting paid to say good things about the game and I'm enjoying the game like crazy now.
I went to starsider after the transfers went up and wow.... this place is packed now, full of pvp and the game is kicking again.
My only complaint is the lag during massive battles in restuss... I have a top of the line gaming rig and a fast cable connection but there is a noticable 1 second lag between when you hit the attack button and when it actually fires.

Well at least one word in that sentence is true...
This is coming from someone, who holds a grudge on a video game.
As difficult as I imagine it is for someone like you to make the distinction, I hold a grudge against a company, not a video game.
No you don't. You also hold a grudge against the PLAYERS of said game, and it's evident in everything you post.

My views on the game since this is I guess the thing to do.
I have been playing since the start for starters. The CU I learned to like after a few month's. The NGE is crap now and when it came out compared to what I once played. There are some things even though they are majorly wattered down now that I do enjoy. Am I one to tell someone who use to play before the NGE come back and try the game its great? Never and I wont the game is awfull compared to what it once was if you look at it from a crafting point of view or a combat point of view.
We use to have guilds that were 18+ to join! Now we have guilds with no restrictions due to SOE getting rid of one generation of star wars fans for a younger generation. Can you find older players in the game? Yes scattered around but nothing like before. Would someone enjoy the game who never played before? Yes they might actually enjoy the game but they will notice in time that the game lacks demension and that ios due to only having 9 prof and the nge.
Last but not least does the game suck from what it use to before the nge? Yes it does suck compared to what it once was combat, and crafting.
Before though you jump on me saying then why am I still playing this game and stuck with it? Housing lol and decroating and watching kids whine when there city gets taken over. I guess im one of the last true politicians in the game. I enjoy getting into cities who's current mayor thinks they dont have to run and running for mayor min's before the election goes into its third week. One vote gets me mayor and then comes the taxes and then comes me blowing there city up. The entire time I get hate tells and I love reporting them lol. Even though politician has become 1 button to master its the only thing that the game has in it that is still the same and not wattered down all that bad.
I recently resubbed after a 3 year break and am enjoying it quite a bit too. Server transfers are coming up in a day or so and should really help the game thrive again. These forums are notorious for having trolls invade every thread and try to bash it or make the game look like crap because they are still discruntled... just ignore em and have fun!
These forums are also notorious for being infested by SOE's viral marketers trying to trick people into subscribing to SWG.
The same could be said for pre-CU fanbois, who for some reason, feel compelled to repeatedly create alt accounts here to spread their vitriol.
and internet stalkers too.
Pretty ironic statement there, considering the source.
Ico Oh, cruel fate, to be thusly boned. Ask not for whom the bone bones. It bones for thee.
