THe only reason to buy this game is for emu purpose only. Besides that your better off playing monopoly or pick up stix seriously. Obraik i hope u enjoy bieng king of the npc's when emu is in full release ive played it today on different servers and i have to say why anyone would pay 15 bucks a month to stay with idiots who truly dont know much about star wars and really dont care about it is beyond me. Emu is free monthly so far and you have devs who are fans and REALLY want to make a game for real unlinke SOE/LA so to answer the original poster ONLY BUT IT FOR EMU THATS IT!!
We're sitting in our offices thinking of ways to upset our paying customers. I think were on track to meet that goal.
Most testimonials have some basis in reality. Obraik's "testimonials" seem to be lacking that. I really don't think he's capable of seeing past the nose on his face. Many of the things he claims to observe, are the exact opposite that others on the same server in the same locations observe. Whether intentional or not, Obraik's "testimonials" will do more to deceive people than to provide useful data.

I was just asking the same question as you about a month ago, wondering if SWG was worth it or not. Right now you can go buy teh game for 15 bucks and get the first month free or you can buy the first month for 15 bucks and not have to buy the starter kit from the store, for 15 bucks its a good deal to try and see how you like it, Since I started playing it, I like it because I only play maybe twice a week but it keeps me interested when I do play it, so far i only have a 30 jedi but still its something you are going to want to form your own opinion on.

Why is that, because hes still a fan of the game? Hes an honest guy, if somebody ask a question about the game he answers down to earth. If somebody ask a question and x person gives a sarcastic/cocky/flaming response they cant be taken seriously, even if it is the "truth".
At least he dosent sit up here and flood these forums with the same sad shit over and over like 99% of the people up here do. In other words, Obraik has adapted to change and accepted. Meanwhile basically everybody else up here is stick in bitch limbo.

Examples please?
Obraik, you've done a good job for the last 9 months defending your honor. Take my advice and stop arguing with these people. The truly intelligent people can see these people for who they really are. No need to defend yourself against them. You're the one acting with decency and honor by not flaming or name calling or being rude in any kind of way. You sir are the noble one among these hate filled people. They can't see past their own rage and will do nothing but try and tear you down to their level. Don't fall for it. They are jealous of your happiness. They are mad because you enjoy something that they hate and you are just one of many many people that enjoy the game as is. I mean it. Stop posting now and ignore these people. It's okay to state your point once, but to keep responding to them is arguing. Don't sink to their level. Be the better man and walk away.
Thanks for the info guys! I think I'll take a look at the trial and see what the game is like but judging from the responses, I doubt it'll enjoy it. What I'll probably do is continue looking for another game unless the trial really entertains me! Thanks!

Um, not sure I see what that has to do with what I asked
Clackamas, I'm talking about the thing as a whole, not the pop numbers specifically. For the record, I've never said there are more people then there were, but that the game isn't exactly lacking people (at least on my server)
Obraik,
Population numbers are everything. Changes in populations tell decision makers (not just SOE, but potential players, existing players, etc). It abstracts out a number of inconsequential petty arguments. For example, it doesn't matter what players thing the of the current targeting schema. It doesn't matter what a single player thinks which broken quest is more important than the other. The delta of the population over time tells the game is dead or alive. In the case of SWG, the game is dead. It doesn't matter which petty detail we like or don't like: the majority of gamers and potentail gamers have said SWG:NGE is not woth the bother.
That is not a testimonial, that is analysis that is based on facts of the game.
A testimonial, in contrast, states that you get some personal enjoyment, but says nothing about how the larger group precieves the product. Testimonials typically ignore what a population as a wholes things.

Just out of intrest. Would you say your servers population is a fair indication of the population on all the servers? Or would you say that chilestra is one of the few servers that have a decent population of players and that with the NGE alot of players have left their old servers to move to chilestra and the others that still have a decent population?

Wow, this thread sure got whacked inthe rollback lol.
Anyway, Chilastra and most of the other servers are all at least on medium during prime time. I can only assume that they have simmillar populations to what Chilastra has at the same time. Bria I've seen on Heavy a few times that I've checked over the last few weeks.

Well I don't know how much I'd read into the medium status alone for server population indications. Unless you know for sure how few or many players it takes to get a server counted as medium and heavy.
im a pre-cu player and if this post was posted about 18 months ago i would say yes definetly get this game its the best mmo ever...but for some reason which i cant understand the devs decided to ruin a unique game and turn it into star craft......if they go back to pre-cu then i would say yes definetly get this game...but until then stay away from these liars.
I totally agree with you ronan32. SOE has destroyed one of the most unique MMORPG's ever created.
We had paid lots of money for the expansions and monthly fees and after the CU SWG was not worthy anymore. SOE wanted to attract new players and so they decided to convert SWG to EverCraft. SOE used all players of SWG as guinea-pigs. Stay away from that. SOE must understand that online games are not played from cash machines but from real people wich earn their living with much effort and don't have time and money to waste.
Everybody can download and try the game but if you decide and put your credit card to subscribe be warned. Since SOE does not respect its customers you may end up with a completely different game in just a few weeks.

Clackamas,
I'm curious, are you a WOW player? Because according to your logic it has to be the greatest game ever created.
I played SWG from release to just after JTL and had come back just weeks before the NGE I will admit i hated it and canceled. But two weeks ago I came back and have been enjoying it. It's nowhere near the game we used to have, but I do find it entertaining. I believe with the current state of the mmo market thats saying something. So they can have my $15.
