    There it is.



    They can "re-add" all the things they want. If they keep it a level-based WOW-clone, I'm not interested.

    Hmm.



    The skill based system was awesome. No one could dispute that.  And  yeah,  they screwed us over.  Old news.



    But living in the present, and being a  big Star Wars fan,  I think the game is fun again and heading in the right direction.



    The NGE. They have added 45 skill points that can be placed how you wish. This gives you a chance to customize you character (when the NGE hit this was not in-game).



    They are adding professions like Beast Master (different than CH) and Droid Commander. Plus with a new expansion and content this year, it's very likely we will see new professions being added. Like the Farmer profession (remember that one from beta?).



    That stupid "over-the-shoulder" camera angle is gone and is back to the old way by un checking "off set camera" under the options tab (old news).



    Crafting is VERY important again. With things like decay coming back and the need for medics and entertainers it feels like the old days of interdependecy .



    If you can't see that this MMORPG is again a fun SW game... fine.

    Huh? What game do you speak of? Please clarify. I must have missed the announcements of a  Droid Commander profession, an expansion being released, and the addition of decay. Crafting important again? Please tell me when it changed from a loot based economy....I am interested. Oh, this information must be found with the hordes of players populating the servers.

    Theres nothing left to save IMO. Believe what you want but 80% of that games player base is gone and 75% of them aren't coming back to the NGE. I know theres people here holding on the idea of them actually fixing or restoring the old game, or integrating the old ideas into the NGE etc.. But the bottom line is, soe pissed in way too many peoples korn flakes over the NGE. And yes I know theres people who enjoy what little remains of that game, or play it because its the only star wars mmo etc, but seriously stop deluding yourselves, the game is done.. and it will only get worse with time as more and more people find newer, fresher MMO's to play.. SWG is dead and gone...They should seriously think about removing this forum for such a dead game too.. I'm tired of coming here and seeing NGE vs PRE cu tards battle it out over a dead game.. Grow up, go play the game if you like, if not move on to something else, we all know the truth about this game and how bad it was butchered..

    No one can save SWG from the evil reputation that SOE has given itself.  I will never play another game form them, even Vanguard.  I will do everything I can to ensure not one penny of mine ever finds it's way to SOE.

    SOE has shown itself to be completely uncaring towards it's playerbase.  Why would anyone ever give them money when there are so many other MMO's out there from better companies?

    People wanting a award or gift JUST FOR STICKING THROUGH THE NGE is a joke.

    Now think about it..... just a for a second... they want a gift.. for doing what they wanted but yet claim it was some hurdle to be in???

    SO... by that statement, they too consider the NGE some sort of feat to have stuck through???

     

    Hmmmm this seems kinda ironic and sad at the same time.

    500 bucks says you do not get crap this year.

    Let me know if you get a expansion I will give you 10 mill creds on Bria, let me know if you get Droid commander I will give you 20 mill creds on Bria.

    LET ME KNOW IF THEY ADD BACK IN SOMTHING THEY DID NOT TAKE OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE....

    Let me know if they get back the population because I went in game this week and MAN... DO NOT LIE TO ME.... I know better and saw it myself.

    So yeah...

    Actually SOE should be paying them to play in that mess.

    No joke....or give it to them for free for tolerating all the lies and missleadings.

    One has to wonder how they allow themselves to be stepped on constantly, I just gave up trying to figure it out using logic and common sense.

    The playerbase in place now will believe anything.

    Just out of curiosity, did they ever get the elusive smuggler revamp?  I am very out of the loop with swg now but just wanted to know if smugglers can even smuggle yet.  That profession never did make sense to me but yet I kept it forever in hopes they would actually do smuggling for jabba or some other criminal faction.  I did make lots of credits back when spice was big so it wasnt total loss.  I would make a fortune just standing outside tusken fort selling crates of muon gold on bria.

    Funny thing about negative-minded people  --  you can always expect them to have something negative to say.



    No big surprise there.



    When a new Star Wars MMORPG hits the street you can bet your bottom dollar that is will be a real  WoW clone. Pretty much the same design as LOTRO has.



    There are still fun times to be had in Star Wars Galaxies - especially in the near future.



    By the way, they let us current subscribers VOTE on what we wanted the most. It was overwhelmingly Content. 



    This year we will see truly new professions (starting June 5th), new content (they are right now re-building the Rebel theme park, and the Imp one is next) plus expansions, more Crafter revamps (I'm already making millions with my store again!), etc. In fact crafted items are already better than looted again (and sometimes equal).



    I play and the game is populated. Just because there are not huge buff lines in the star ports anymore does not mean it's not populated. Hell me and all my bros quit this game at the end of 2004 - some quit before the CU and a couple (including my cousin) right before the village era.



    With the up coming house purge and server merges the game will remain in a healthy state. Hell the game is getting old, even DAoC lost subs with age, so even if not for the NGE the game would be about like it is now pop wise.

    Exactly what I expected actually.This is the vet refuge..None of us think the NGE is any good..



    Funny thing about negative-minded people  --  you can always expect them to have something negative to say. Is it any different than your too overly positive POV that changes from we got screwed to its the best thing since the CU?



    No big surprise there. Same here no surprise your fishing for support...too bad only 10 of you agree the game is getting better..



    When a new Star Wars MMORPG hits the street you can bet your bottom dollar that is will be a real  WoW clone. Pretty much the same design as LOTRO has. Then it will meet the same fate as the current one..Why would they repeat the most unsuccessfull version of this game? The CU was a Bad EQ/WoW clone and the NGE dont know what bad clone it wants to be.



    There are still fun times to be had in Star Wars Galaxies - especially in the near future. Being in the game since early beta this saying is just like SOE's promises..Full of good intentions but never what was suppose to happen..See April 05 the Cu changed to the wow clone..then the NGE which even Smed and other former devs admit was a huge mistake..



    By the way, they let us current subscribers VOTE on what we wanted the most. It was overwhelmingly Content.  Really...um time will tell but what choice do they have? They didnt listen for the past 4 years why start now?WE had content in 32 professions which was removed..Fun was removed along with those, as was the crafting system it was huge content..Entertainer was as well and made completely useless in the CU and CUNGE..When the player based asked for content and fixes we got 2 half assed conversions..Each losing massive players(FACT)



    This year we will see truly new professions (starting June 5th), new content (they are right now re-building the Rebel theme park, and the Imp one is next) plus expansions, more Crafter revamps (I'm already making millions with my store again!), etc. In fact crafted items are already better than looted again (and sometimes equal). Um LOL SOE has publiclly posted there wont be any new expansions because they said so..My opinion is they dont have the resources and what your getting is more of nothing..same as last 4 years, empty promises and lack luster updates(hsa been this way before it went live)



    I play and the game is populated. Just because there are not huge buff lines in the star ports anymore does not mean it's not populated. Hell me and all my bros quit this game at the end of 2004 - some quit before the CU and a couple (including my cousin) right before the village era. Define populated? Countless times i have logged in to these quote populated servers and i just dont see the population..A few here and there but never more than 75 to 100 players(during peak) Even if it was i highly doubt many would stay now due to the crappy gameplay.Those wonderfull poke poke animations really look quality to me!! Benny Hill would be so proud his likeness hasn't been forgotten..



    With the up coming house purge and server merges the game will remain in a healthy state. Hell the game is getting old, even DAoC lost subs with age, so even if not for the NGE the game would be about like it is now pop wise. Um Healthy state LOL..Every game loses subs with age no game that has 0 new quality content will last...But no game has lost Subs faster due to changes to the core game than SWG..Mass cancelations dont = health..So if its so healthy and populated why the need for housing purges and server merges??Its simple logic really..And you think everyone who doesnt like the NGE is angry..Im not angry at all if the game was good and fun to play for me id be more than happy to say so..But i dont think the sudden departure of everyone involved in the NGE and CU a positive outlook.

    .I dont call Server merges healthy(cause every game thats merged servers has low populations that never grow only decline) So come back from fantasyland and think about it a min..Your claim to be a Precu Vet but yet glow and overly positive about the NGE?? Heck id love for SWG to be great and fun and polished..SOE had thier chance to fix it but has failed since it went live..The game Died due to SOE's misshandling of fixes content and over all crappy customer service..If you love SWG then im very happy for you..To the rest of us its a bastardized version of a great bugged game..Nothing has changed since day 1, its stiil a bugged broken mess...I vote CU3 with everything taken out back in polished and fixed...

    What is funnier is he's talking like NOW they'll suddenly cough up the content.



    We've asked for content since launch. They promised new content every 2 months. If they kept that promise, it'd have more content than WoW.

    It's great that the game is improving so dramatically.  What makes it really fun is the fact that with all these excellent new changes and promised additions, I can still get trial account, log on, and find out that, of the 100 or so guild mates who I grew to befriend and spent a year and a half playing alongside, there's all of 2 left who don't log on for more than 3 or 4 hours a week.  I don't really care what SWG says it will do, what it says it will add, what it says it will fix, the community that made the game so enjoyable and satisfying for me is dead and gone, and will never return.  I honestly do hope that all the people still playing the NGE enjoy it, I'm not one of those refugees who will automatically call current players idiots for being a rat on a sinking ship.  Far from it.  But don't insult me, don't tell me I'm a moron who should just get over it, don't tell me I don't have a right to be angry.  I'm gonna go play Star Wars Battlefront 2, in which I can find a similar population of players, all my equipment works, I can find all the same iconic characters, enjoy a very Star Warsy environment, and oh yeah, not pay a dime.

    There, that was fun.

    I'm just a positive dude. Same as some guys are always saying something negative about whatever.  I avoid the later.



    I've played since 2003, some of '05 and little of the NGE. I'm a Star Wars enthusiast and find the game enjoyable again. In my mind the "NGE" is nothing close to what it was like even 2 months ago. To me it's just "SWG."



    P.S. Notice how I ignore rude comments directed at me.
