And this dosn't go to all vets out there cause there are some that don't really care and go on about it.Simply wow i am amazed. I used to play SWG before the nge and i can tell you this during pre-cu it sucked there was nothing to do as a new player you didn't no what to do so i quit. When NGE came out i gave it a try and i can tell you this it is alot more fun because it gives you a quest right of the bat that you CAN do you are not made to. It has fun missions and rewards and helps you to level. And i have been playing for a year now and they have been adding new content that is fun to give you a new experience like with the colections, Heroic instances, and a whole nething with the meatlump quets and thempark and also with this new chapter coming out with the battle of eco base where you can piolt AT-ST fly Snowspeeders that actually have a Y and zZ axis to make rool and stuff. And companies are out there to make money and as long as they are making money they are not going shut down a game. And It is just sicken to see grown men and women bickering over somthing the happened 5 years ago it is just sad give it a try not all of you will like it but you go in there with an attitiude that it is not going be good just give it a try you might like it. And for all you people bashing it saying that it is going shut down and crap i have some advice for you get a life plz holding a grude for this long is not healthy and is just plan sad. and i no i am going get heat for this but i don't care i am sick and tired of hearing bout this.

Your problem is easily solved , don't come to the SWG Veteran Refuge , that way you can avoid all the nasty truths floating around here , or perhaps your problem is bigger and you like everybody else hears how bad SWG has become not only here but on many , many , many forums
It says something don't you think
cheers

no i am just sick of people on all these foums sayin rumors that shouldn't be said cause they are ticked about the NGE and most havn't even given it a try yet to see how much better it has become.

How can you quantify this as a fact? Given it has been three years and there have been numerous free trials provided, don't you think a number of former players have probably tried it to see if they like it? Don't you think a number of players have used their free trials to check out game updates from time to time? I've tried it several times myself.
I think if you change the word "most" to "some" in the highlighted fragment above, you might be correct. But to use the word "most" is taking a pretty huge leap when you have no way of actually backing up that claim.

He would have to change "most" to "some", then change "better" to "crappier", then finally change "has become" to "still is". Then he would be correct.
Op, I just tried the "game" again a couple months ago. I assure you, it is still buggy, boring, and just as crappy as the day the NGE was released. Don't spit in my face and tell me it's raining.

i no alot of formor people have tried it i am reforeing to the people that complain all the time and no i am not spitting in any1's face
Is this thread even real?
Quick question Gimmly, were you perhaps involved in any focus testing for LucasArts oh say about 3 and a half years ago? Honestly, by your writing style and the 'facts' you've been spouting, I have no doubts you actually do enjoy the NGE. I bet it fits you like a glove.
"Younglings" have found the Vet Refuge Forums.
We all pretty much know what the status of today's SWG is like. You might feel the same way if you would have known about the game(s) you missed due to $OE's CHANGES.
Give em time, tho. They'll CHANGE it on you too. If you like SWG (in any of it's many formats) they will find a way for you not to like it. The only constant in SWG.
I have played pre-cu and SWG at launch and i think the NGE was a good change and i think people should this stop complaning over somthing that happened like 5 or 3 years ago nad holding a gudge for that long is un healthy and pathetic

It appears the OP isn't helping his cause very much.
I may have 200k+ dissargree with me but why don't you just ask the 500k+ people that are playing the game right now
500k?
you sure it ain't 10M ppl playing alpha SWG?
PS. what drugs are you on?
CAN I HAVE SOME?????
"going into arguments with idiots is a lost cause, it requires you to stoop down to their level and you can't win"
It took me almost a month to get into SWG, I was too busy with school and life to do much more than wander Mos Eisley for a bit, get confused by, well, everything, and log.
Then after wandering into the med center and having someone start a conversation with me (I'd of never started one back then, I didn't think of the game as a chat room back then lol), I 'got' it : there wasn't anything for me to do! But so much I could do at the same time. Incredible!
Didn't have to join a party hunting, didn't have to sit in my tiny house getting crafting XP, didn't have to use a tumbler if no one else was around to get med XP from. Didn't have to spend waaaay too much time moving items around in my house till it felt right, didn't have to go looking for POI's and deals in random vendors, didn't have to join a city and eventually a guild.
I know other games use the same sort of leveling system with skill points and do-it-to-get-it xp, but this game was my first time in the genre. And you always remember your first, am I right?
YOU think this, YOU think that.
Nothing wrong with that, it's a public forum, everyone can express their thoughts.
But since you told us what you think, I let you know what I think, since everyone is posting their thoughts anyways, I think that you should go back playing with those hundreds of total players on the dead servers before they pull the plug instead of wasting prescious NGE playing time starting dumb rants in a "Pre-NGE" forum.
"going into arguments with idiots is a lost cause, it requires you to stoop down to their level and you can't win"
I'm stupid. You're smart. I was wrong. You were right. You're the best. I'm the worst. You're very good looking. I'm not very attractive.
EVE Online has 300K subs and has more than all of SOE's games combined.
I played the NGE on test server before the pushed it to live and I think the NGE was a bad change and I think people should continue to complain over something that happened 3 years ago and hold that grudge for as long as they can.
Fact is the SWG Forums 3 years ago had just about every other post begging SOE not to go through with the NGE. I saw many of my friends in the game quit as soon as the NGE was on test live.
Very old saying, "Don't Fix what isn't Broken". SOE/LA must have never heard of that statement. We all know SWG pre-cu and SWG cu had alot of broken code but it had alot of good stuff that you couldn't find in anyother MMO.
Cocaine's a helluva drug.
So I started to walk into the water. I won't lie to you boys...I was terrified. But I pressed on, and as I made my way past the breakers, a strange calm came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things, but I tell you, Jerry, at that moment ... I was a marine biologist.
Cocaine's a helluva drug.
Indeed, back in 2006 it was speculated to have only 10,000 subs. After the release of games like AoC and WAR and now WLK, I doubt it even has 100.
This is where it went from a fan of the game with questionable mental abilities, to a plain ole troll. Unless you have a twitch and accidently added two '0's on the end of 5k.

What? Glad you are playing a game I'll never touch again.
BTW - Hoth, great fucking idea if you could play it with more than just FIVE OTHER PEOPLE.

You joined 11/15/08? Are you reporting anonymously, or just easily agitated.
Don't you think the mods have better issues to address?
