I have been an avid viewer of these forums for a long long time now. I played SWG from the start, unlocked a jedi and created havoc as we all did in Theed and Coronet. I killed and was killed, I dined on the many chefs foods and overdosed on Neuron Pixie as did all of us who stood together. I switched allegience twice, did the knight trials 3 times and duelled as many people as would bear a sabre against me in battle. I ganked gankers, hunted other jedi on my Bounty Hunter, killed nightsisters and krayt dragons with my stacker, raided and destroyed countless factional bases and actually enjoyed being part of "solo groups" grinding, pikets, mokks, jantas, holocrons and voritors.
But most of all I made friends from both factions, from all over the globe. People that I have retained friendships with since those times. The beautiful, community based, amazingly addictive and prefectly flawed game that was the pre CU captured mine and many hundreds of thousands of peoples hearts for 2 years.
And then the impossible happened, the sky fell in on our heads on the day it all went wrong and crushed what we had to dust...
Many thousands of posts have been made here all wishing and wanting the same thing. Bring it back, give us pre CU, give Smedley the sack....
If they rolled back now full of promises and hopes and dreams, would I go back and live the dream again?
The answer is no.
Because as much as I loved what was there, and the people and times we had. I will never ever invest time, effort and energy into something again, knowing that at any moment the sky may change colour and come crashing down on all that I have loved again.
To the thousands of souls that died that day, I salute you, nothing is forgotten.
And as the future slowly unveils the scheming plots, twists and evil master plans for the future it seems as though there is a chink of light at the end of that very long tunnel.
See you in the next life, thank god for Bioware.

Even if their MMO is "The Snorks"?

I dont think that Bioware are allowed to, or are stupid enough to try and copy the NGE.
I kind of doubt anyone is building a new sandbox to play in. They are all chasing the WOW dream. Kill loot level repeat
The WoW dream is actually nerd game coders getting Ferraris, hookers, and booze in limitless quantities.
CH, Jedi, Commando, Smuggler, BH, Scout, Doctor, Chef, BE...yeah, lots of SWG time invested.

hmm, two years already since the NGE? And i still talk to some of the worldwide friends i made in pre-CU SWG.
If i got the good old SWG back......i would return. And i know many would say they wouldent. But when people begin to post movies, screens and good storys........good luck to not join in : )
I agree somewhat...
If SOE would create a server that was Pre-NGE (whether it was CU or Classic), I'd more than likely play again. I would hope they wouldn't fly the SOE banner though.
I seriously doubt that we'll ever see a skill-based game like SWG again. I also doubt that BioWare's MMO will be skill based or level based, but more of a "progression-based". Which will be interesting to see if that is what it will be.
