From SWG to ??

I played SWG ever since the first day it released. It has lot of bugs at that time ( while some of the bugs are still around now), while ppl still enjoyed playing it a lot. As mature game players we understand a big project like that
will have bugs to be fixed and some of them might take long.
Everything was sweet by then, the great crafting and harvesting system, beast taming, missions, and the AT-STs
.
I think the biggest thing SOE has done wrong was by putting Jedi into the game.
As some posts have suggested, its a character that make the game unbalanced.
Seriously if we really want to play Jedi we would have played other Star War games
Anyway I left after playing it for 2 years with many of the others, all the nerfing and stuff pretty much indicating SOE don give a shxt about the responses of the players.
These days I am just playing smaller online games but surely I still look for another game that has that much content as SWG.
I look at the game listing but can't find any new ones that are going to be similar to that
U guys think there will be another game like that in the future ?
I heard EVE is good also but isn't it a bit old by now.
oh yeah for the ppl still playing and think what I said is crxp, u have ur belief and I won't argue with that.

Have you considered The Saga of Ryzom? Quite a few ex-SWG'ers has come to stay in Ryzom, due to the crafting system and harvesting. I'm sure you'll miss many features from SWG but find many other nice things in Ryzom. The trial is free and not time limited
Eve is the best game on the market right now.
Everything in Eve constantly evolves and although the graphics are nice right now they will get another overhaul next year with Windows Vista and DirectX. Take a look at the new trailer for an example. I see no reason why Eve cannot still look like a new game in years to come.
Check out 'No other destiny' for a peek at this 'old' game.

I checked Saga of Ryzom it does seem nice.
and Eve online I might also give it a try also.
Sometimes I just wish 1 day has 36 hours
trials are nice to see if you want to further pursue a game
FIOS net makes it easier when you download the game in matter of a few min.
which after getting bored with WoW I played sooo many trials
SWG was the one that enjoyed most
so going to at very LEAST get me 15bucks out of it
In short at the moment if your looking for a game that offers you the same diversity, depth, crafting and community minus the dickweed devs then there isn't one that exists at the moment and won't be one for the forseeable future. Keeping my fingers crossed for Stargate and Star Trek but if either of those two lack a decent crafting system i'm staying away, because if all you do is combat then eventually you will get bored you need another aspect in the game aswell to cater for everyone, much like SWG had.

Nice post.
Except he failed to mention any negitives about Eve Online. It is truely the best game out at the moment... even though they had severe lag for about an hour last night (It was corrected pretty quick) they made it funny saying they were sorry that they had not fed the hamsters, then a few moments later they said its all fixed and the hamsters were fed... I love CCP. Great code, wonderful game and devs with a real sense of humor.
Great post Fignar! I feel the exact same.
I tried to get into Eve. Its not a bad game, but I just could not get past having my Avatar be a spaceship. I am having the same problem with Auto Assault. You get to walk around a bit in town, but mostly your a truck, not a person. Interacting with the community in-game is important to me, and trying to do an emote when your a spaceship or a truck is rather difficult.
I have asked and been asked many times " are there going to be another game like this in 1 or 2 years?"
And guess we are all still waiting for some exciting news.
No sign from any of the big game makers so far.
