SWG or Planetside

I can't decide which I wanna resub to! I wanna try PS again beacuse I had real fun in it when capturing bases etc, but I heard it is constantly losing palyers. I want to try SWG because I wanna play something with star wars,and I hear the populations are slightly increasing. So what to choose?^^

    Planetside imo if you want to play an fps

    Swg if you wanna play an rpg

    my problem with Swg was their was no one to socialize with outside of towns. And even in towns their were few people...most where ghost towns.

    I'd have to say PS. I recently went back to SWG on one of the trials. It really hasn't changed much since the NGE hit. If the population has increased, I couldn't tell...

    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    WoW: Lamere, 70 Paladin on Jaedenar (retired)

    DAoC: Cadore Ironmace, 50 Cleric (retired)

    SWG: Dolthin Erid, Master CH/Master Pistoleer (NGE'd)

    Waiting for: Warhammer Online/Age of Conan

    SWG has a new creature thing(but it takes three days to make a creature). PS has new deployables, weapons, and a new variant of  the juggy. I just resubed to both last night and I would say Planetside.

    PS, With SWG there's always the risk that the game you pay for wont be the game you get to play. Yes, I'm bitter about the NGE but it's not the whole reason. SOE have recently (relatively) readded Creature Handler in thier mangled parody of WoW's talent system and they've also messed around with player attributes and thier effects, which I would consider one of the most basic aspects of any RPG. Apparently high cold resist armour now protects you from Bleeding attacks, if you can find the sense in that please share.

    All in all, I wouldn't touch SWG with a 20 foot barge pole.

    For SWG, the server population is fine...as long as you pick one of the more populated servers.  The problem is that SWG has the most servers out of any MMO, other than WOW, but doesn't have the population.  But because of player cities, they can't merge servers without a huge upheaval.  I'm actually looking forward to seeing how they are going to solve this problem.



    Overall, SWG is a fine MMO now.  They learned from their mistakes and most people who play SWG now are quite satisfied.  The experience is bug free and they have brought back much of what people loved about old school SWG.  For a game as old as SWG, the graphics still look good.

    what did they do? re-paste the old creature handler code back into the game?

    Wrong.

    Creature Handler and Beast Master are rather different. Only simillar thing is that you have a pet.
