SWG for me always was more about the community than the game. You may not like SWG anymore. Or you may be an addict on your cold turkey trip out. But what I do with my money is my own decision, as is the reason why I still play SWG. So ... there is nothing wrong with "us people" ... only with YOUR attitude. Have fun Erillion
not another I stay for my friends or the "community"....ever hear of a telephone, email, ventrillo?? you can stay in touch with your friends you met in swg. if they were really your friends you would quit playing this crap game and have them join you in something else thats actually worthy of your time.
The bottom line is this... Yes it is your money, your life and you live in the U.S. where you get to decide what you do. But think about the bigger picture for a second. If you keep playing the game and then eventually others join you and the game becomes a success and rivals WOW, you will have effectively told the gaming/MMO community that it's ok to change your game. Change it whenever you want to, to whatever you want to and get away with it. No one can touch you so do whatever you want. Is that what we as gamers want? No control? No say so as a group? We were a part of what made SWG successful. We saw the vision and invested our money and ourselves. If you keep playing this game you're telling SOE and other companies that it's ok to screw your payer base and no one will hold you accountable. There are gonna be those players that like the game as an FPS. Not much anyone can do about them except hope that one day they get it. But for those who are playing only because of friends or because it's Star Wars, you should take a hard look at what your continued support is saying and doing.
Why did companies stop selling products with CFC's (Chlorofluorocarbons)? Because people found out what it was doing to the ozone and said we're not buying those products anymore. When it was first discovered what CFC's were doing to the atmosphere there was doubt, ignorance and resistance. People didn't believe the scientific community or didn't care. They liked their products and were going to continue using them, ozone be damned. There were a lot of products on the market that used CFC's as a propellant. Products that we used and depended on for everyday life. Many of these companies struggled to find alternative propellants for their products. But the scientific community kept up the pressure with their data and findings and eventually everyone came around and stopped buying those products because they saw the bigger picture. Don't let SWG destroy the ozone because that affects us all and the damage may be irreversible.
Why do I continue paying for SWG... well lets see here...
Yes, the game has been completely changed for the worse in my opinion. Except, unlike you, I know there will never be a rollback, so, I figure that I support the game and company I love through its hardships.
SWG is getting better btw, no, its not like how it was Pre-Pub 9, but, its still a great game.

Well! I guess there's really no respectful way to say this, but I'll say it anyway. Enrillion made some good points, but you, unless you work for SOE or someone close to you does, your comments make you little more than sheep!
SOE knows what you like... You don't! And don't forget... I am forcing you to read this!

So... He should go along with everyone else who hates the game, even though he thinks it's still a great game, just so he doesn't sound like a sheep?

Well I wont lie and say that I am a huge MMO played since I have never really played one, in fact I am not even a huge gamer I guess I am more casual once in awhile, however MMO I always wanted to see what they are like, so I come to these sites to get and idea of what kind of pulse games might have, the biggest games that I know of here in North America are WOW, EQ 1 and 2, Planetside, Final fantasy SWG, and so forth, and here in SWG, everyone says it sucks really bad, they say go play WOW, so I go into WOW and there they WOW sucks really bad, go play EQ2 so go into EQ2 they say EQ2 sucks balls, go play planet side and so on and so on, now for me 15 dollars a month for a game to play is nothing, penuts for what I spend ever months as it is now on entertianment, but from what I understand from every single MMO on here from all the posts from all the games in the forms that really every single MMO is crap, a waste of time and money garbage. So why are MMO' s spreading and getting more popular

I have to agree with the OP on this. If you like NGE and want to play, fine. If you hate the NGE but stick around because you're hoping for change, that is complete foolishness. You have a better chance at having SOE hear your displeasure by clicking 'cancel' then posting in the SWG forums- "TH please read", "Devs please read", "Will a red name please read", "I NEED an answer".
"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."

We all needed answers. What we got was the NGE and a round of "shut up and pay". Some people still do. Some of them actually say they enjoy it. Maybe it doesn't bother them that the people they're paying have told mainstream media that they're stupid, easily led and require someone else to tell them what they like and dictate how much they'll recieve of what they pay for. It's tempting to say that SOE is right about their remaining subscribers, but then, some of them seem to have a brain and some selfrespect. So we have the complete enigma that is the surviving veteran subscriber base.
Is it vain hope or is it utter delusion? The world may never know.

Well I have been trying this SWG out for the demo and I can honestly say that I am enjoying it, I knew that the graphics would not be on par as with Doom for example but the graphics are better then I thought they would be, they are nice. I like this combat, the aiming is easy, and easy to hit targets even moving ones. The only thing I dont like so far is that I can not straff, maybe yoiu can I dont know yet. I have no idea what the game was like before, but if it was better then this then it must have been really great, because the combat in this game is fast and a lot of fun.

Put it this way, if one person likes rolling in HORSE CRAP and the other person thinks the
person rolling in the HORSE CRAP is a idiot, well yeah, he is right, but he cant change the fact
that the guy is enjoying his time in the HORSE CRAP and will continue to have fun.
SOE the person rolling around in the crap, well apparently, he is sane and everyone else it
fracked up. If his idea of fun is playing NGE, well he is the minority and knows it, but still
continues to play with the Horse Pie.
or
Another mans Garbage is another mans Treasure! ROFL
........
NGE Sucks and believe me, I dont support the new system.
DAoC did a good job by implementing New Servers and Old Servers, its a shame SOE doesnt
do the same.
CHOOSE Your Server.
Chilastra NGE Server -------------------- Very Light
Chilastra Classic Server ----------------- Full
simple as that.. LOL
