Star Wars Galaxies - It's worth playing again try it, I did! I have seen so much Hate against SOE over the NGE change to SWG and yes they deserved it but lets be honest here I tried other MMO's and played EQ2 for 1.5 years, burnt me out but EQ2 is a good game. But my first MMO SWG spoiled me to the others but. I came back in chpt 5 to try SWG and since chapter 5 the game is much improved. Let me list the improvements. 1. Combat is challengeing again you can't solo a Boss at least most of us can't. AutoAiming and AutoTarget is back. I feel the game is at the CU level for hunting and questing again. You can get a mod for the old interface, I have :P 2. Traders now have items they can make and sell over and over to keep that Business coming in I started Chpt. 5 with 300 million credits with the sale of Beast master Gear, and supplies and my Armor Smith buisness I'm once again happy with trader I have made 2 billion credits so trader is still a good profession. Traders can now also create skill tapes for adding to armor, weapons, and clothes. 3. Beast Master has brought people back and I my self have a lvl 90 Klicnik Warrior this pet has made me uber against lvl 90 Silver elites I can take 2 or 3 at once with a pet 60 point tanking for me. 4. Space is being upgraded new with Gun Boats that have 6 turrets good for grouping etc. This is the best Space game and space combat I have ever played. They are improvng it and adding content to space. 5. You can down laod the free 14 day trial and try it recommened servers Starsider, Bloodfin, Bria and if you like it activate the game and play it you don't have to buy it just the monthly fee. 6. There is a new Dev team one trying to improve the game 3 addition devs where hired also I like this bunch they are not plastic like the last team. 7. Try Star Wars again or be a noob first timer I can recommend this game again! Ajax
Wow another SOE shill with a flamebait post ... il bite You must really be scraping the bottom of the barrel to recruit in here try the WOW forums. Thats the target audience. and so...
1. cant solo a boss hmm to bad that was what i liked about precu the freeform hunting i had spent a year plus perfecting. Sides i hate level based games so boring no real challenge there
2. i cant speak for traders only me and i would like to be a MSW MChef with ranger tracking thrown in, how bout that can i do that?
3.Yeah this one is my favorite... BM huh sort of like CH huh?... you mean that unstarwarys uniconic garbage they removed because only 2% of the players were CH? Like me? no thankyou i still hold a grudge about that one. Lets see 2% of 250k players would be? 5000 people? nice thing to do to 5000 players now wasn't it.
4.LOL so SOE will NGE space afterall LOL good luck on that one your gonna need it.
5. Who has time for freetrials anymore i want a game i can really sink my teeth into. Finally took the plunge and started playing EVE and you know what? The game has class lots of reading steep learning curve hard to get into you know kinda like precu in a way.
6 If thats the way you see it fine, i prefer to think trained chimps could do better.
And if GOD himself started writing code for SWG it would still be Not Good Enough
7. Star Wars< /spit------/embrace>EVE
Already lived the greatest saga ever told my own in a galaxy far far away i did not need another shoved down my throat so no thank you SOELA or whoever you claim to be.
Well I enjoyed holding onto the naboo base until we got banners and stim pack e's last night. I enjoyed running the all new (not old content) instances, while getting perma stat increases and cool loot. Our vent server was packed all day and night while we pvp'd. All this on a "empty" server (Naritus). Chapter 8 goes to TC next week, so I guess the dev team is cranking out the new content a little faster than what the "vets" on this forum would lead you to think. We should also start getitng more info on the plans for 2008 content soon as well, can't wait to see what in store.
Good for you . Instead of coming here to to harass the Vets , Why don't you go play and enjoy your "Wonderful game" .
they need to just let this game die. I enjoyed it before jedi were even in the picture, and a bit after, crafting system was amazing. But I tried the 14 day trial a while ago, and I didn't even like 2 hours. I would love to see another star wars MMO, but as a fan, having a bunch of jedi running around during A New Hope era is just dumb.
The SOE shills sure seem to be working overtime lately.
And the fact you have the hutzpah to have the "Greatest Story Ever Told, Yours" quote under yer avatar at the same time your pushin the NGE crap in the vet refuge forum seriously made me wanna /puke...
"Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?"
Myself got bored very fast. My server is not empty but the combat system is wierd and boring. The mobs are so easy, so after killing some I just logout. And the PvP is bad, very bad. Same place over and over again + you need 1 billions stupid buffs to even enjoy PvP. So it SWG better? Nah. They might do some things better but it's too late. It will never be like in the good old days. I say, pull the plug and work on a new SWG or let someone else make one...
Played: From Earth & Beyond, Anarchy Online, Matrix Online, Star Wars Galaxies, World of Warcraft, Age of Conan, Tabula Rasa (Beta), EvE Online, City of Villians, Atlantica Online, Guild Wars, Lineage 2, Pirates of the Burning Sea, PlanetSide, RF Online, Second Life, Fallen Earth.
I'm star wars fan! I don't hate the level system but damn, this game sucks so much ass I just can't even think of trying it again. SOE needs to pay me for playing, not the other way around

I feel the same way, I am an avid pvper and when I completely stop pvping in a game such as SWG, then you know something is wrong- there's now crit and block stackers, constitution stacking. Before medics got their buffs in expertise, pvp was fine and fairly fun but now some of the medic and gcw buffs are really stupid. At least pre-CU all you needed were doctor buffs and a decently crafted weapon and go out there when pvp had 75% damage reduction and you didn't get killed 3-5 seconds like you do now.
While reading around the SWG forums, I even see the newer players are getting tired of what the devs are doing to the game.
I've written this analagy before, you subscribe to your favorite rock music magazine and they suddenly change their genre from rock to country and send you the new country music issue without warning, this of course would piss you off and you would want a refund from them. That's how SWG vets felt.

And to add to this analogy... there were no other rock mags availble. Only other country mags.
Which is it? Some people post that they are bored because the mobs are so easy, and others post here that since the chapter 6 "combat downgrade" mobs are way to tough. The game changes, did everyone quit WoW when burning crusade came out thus making all the hard won level 60 stuff worthless because of the new level cap and new items?

I'll sum up what it is in one sentence. "The SWG NGE Sucks"
Happy? 4-5 $OE fanbois/shills have appeared in the last 2 weeks or so. But trust me, you are wasting your time. Nothing bar classic servers is gonna save SWG $OE. Its that simple.
I'd left the game and never looked back, then the 21 day vet trial came up so I gave it a shot. I'm glad I moved on. Most of the changes the OP talks about are just dumbed down versions of Pre-Cu or CU even. The animations are goofy, it's still laggy, crafting is pointless, all classes are linear. Nothing they changed would make a vet want to come back, or very few at least. If you were coming to this game as a newcomer maybe, but even then the only thing I saw from the old days was the lag. Other games do what SWG does now better, time has passed this game by. Most of the people I know that still play are Star Wars junkies who have station pass. If you like the game then great, but I can't imagine vets coming back, this isn't the game we bought. All that being said, if there's a trial, I'd tell anyone interested to give it a go, but I'll be staying away.

i smell corporate shill.....tell smed it wont work. if he releases the pre-cu code...the cabal will relent.
You, guys, who are saying game is dieing and there is no new players and so on - go ahead and log on to ahazi, b'fin or bria just for a sec and check it out yourself. Stop repeating these mantras, it's always better to use your own experience, same in rl.
And to responce to obvously forthcoming flaming - no, I'm not NGE fanboi, I'm NGE hater, look at my history. Just IMHO there are some almost political slogans everyone keep repeating on these and other boards between us, pre-cu exiles, which have grown too old and not even close to the truth already.
I just want to tell the Pre-CU crowd I posted this in the General Fourm not in this fourm, it was moved here by some misguided fool lol.
But yes I do enjoy playing again after being gone since 11-15-2005 though the game is not the one I bought but SWG today after chpt 7 is still better than LOTROL, WoW, EQ2, etc. And I'm having fun again, So please stop the hate responces since this post was not intended for this fourm as it was moved here from the Pub Fourm.
I miss all you Vets in Game I understand how we where crapped on but There is still no game with the such flexiable housing or real Player Citys and the Crafting is still good and resource shifts are like a mini-game which games have that. The Combat is at the PRE-CU lvl again the only major complaint I have is the interface sucks.
The reason I'm playing is because the game is worth playing again but I must say I do use the PRE-CU interface mod or I would not be playing that made the difference for me. These are my Opions please honor them I honor yours :P
I do not work for SOE but if I did I be looking for the old code and maybe borrowing it for a few years!
I hope to see most of you again in KOTOR MMO, I feel the force moving at BIO-WARE
And again why they would move this post into this fourm my guess is Smead called them and they moved it or other wise no more advertising
Please don't advertise illegal EMU's or free servers on MMORPG.COM, thank-you.
Please stop bs talking, there NOT illegal, the state of them is "no official word from $OE about" and because of this the staff here don't want them mentioned, so stop talking crap about illegal.
mkaythanks
Smed stated once something like , if the guys accomplish to get Pre CU running i hire them.

Yes most servers are Empty but Starsider and Bria and some others have very good populations other wise how could I make so many credits in a short time I'm sure the credit farmers don't buy my crafted goods.
I find your responce petty because this post was not intended for your small brain I bet you haven't even logged on and tried the game they have actually added content to the game the collections mini-game the village is back and even the tresure map mini-game is fun.
Space is awesome with new content coming unchanged from the NGE. I know I can Pawn you in space so come fly on starsider in deep sapce because the tone of your rsponce is one of Rebel flavor!
Yes most servers are Empty but Starsider and Bria and some others have very good populations other wise how could I make so many credits in a short time I'm sure the credit farmers don't buy my crafted goods. so now what you want me to pay money to tranfer my toon to some "heavy" populated server ?

Hmm so you say the bugged new instances are great ?
Sockets vanishing, the mess up on the venders after there last atempt tp fix some other bug..
All specials randomly not firing bug ch 7.
The specials just plan not firing bug.
The nerfing of space thats coming.
They have yet to get both the yts engines to corectly show at the same time..
There total disregaurd for there player base to this day.
Players entering but not all in the same new instance lol.... ROFL...
Im waiting on AOC and a few others to see how they turn out..
Didn't your mom tell you lieing is bad.
