  • I will never stop wishing the original design, true to it's place in the Star Wars timeline between Episodes IV & V (without player Jedi), could be debugged and balanced without any major re-design.  There was so much, so right, about SWG.  It w…
  • A full week after release and I still can't install the game due the error:  "Blizzard Launcher: Failed to resolve install data URL from http://enUS.patch.battle.net:1119/patch. Please check your internet connection."  The Blizzard Support ticket I'…
  • Still can't install due to inability to connect to the patch server.  I've tried every proposed solution on the forums (I'm not the only one this bug has bitten) and have had a ticket still open with Blizzard since a couple days before launch, but s…
  • I've played LOTS of MMOs, bought many boxes and played the game at release.  Never seen it botched this bad.  How cocky are they with this beloved IP?  Signs of things to come. Even though a dwindling few MMOs think they can get $15/month from playe…
  • > 1 hour queue for a game I pre-ordered many months ago to play early.  Guild assignments apparently didn't account for proportion of unregistered guildees who would also want to play on the server their guild was assigned.  It seems they can't s…

  • We've gone a full business week now and there is still no ETA or explanation of a plan to restore services.  I understand that mistakes happen, but now it's gone on long enough to have a stated plan.  Daily "still offline" today messages are now bec…
  • It's not Free2Play, it's Pay2NotPlay. Someone badly underestimated server load for opening weekend.   How many of the free players will stay or even come back after this fiasco?  ...while paying players can't play at all.  Even when I could get in…
  • Be aware before you buy that Global Agenda is a grouping-required PvP-oriented game.  I'm not saying that's bad, just be aware what you are buying.  There's one solo map to get to level 10 and after that it stops being solo-able at all.
  • I missed it.  I didn't read the review because I was too busy playing Fallen Earth despite the widespread bugs, unstable client, unstable servers, and overall bad performance.  After the 1.1.0 patch, I finally quit for good.  The MOB buff made gray …
  • I probably will pony up the $45 to reactivate 3 accounts and rescue my beloved characters from oblivion, even if I never play them again.  Nice last-ditch profit-taking on SOE's part.  It's worth it to me just to keep the memory alive of a game set …
  • Another level cap increase?  Level cap increases are the opiate of the MMO masses and the bane of casual players.  Maybe some day an MMO will figure out how to keep the endgame fun long-term, without endlessly raising the level cap!  ...prolongin…
  • You know, you just made that little light bulb go on in my head.  It is better to subscribe to 2 games than pay the new Station Pass fee if you really only plan to play/pay for 2 games!  ...since with 2 full subscriptions you could double-box (or sh…
  • Wow!  It can't be long before SOE goes under with decision-making this bad.  I cancelled after the last rate hike.  But raising it to the cost of 2 games is unbelievable.  But just to be clear about how crazy this is, remember that you can't be logg…
  • Too bad.  Someone at the top should take responsibility for how the potentially great product of SWG was so deeply mismanaged.  The recent increase in Station Access fees is another example of mismanagement that must have been approved by Smedley.  …
  • I've played SWG since just a few months after initial release.  ...Bugged to high heaven.  I've quit and come back a couple times.  Initial release, CU, NGE all the same.  The real problem with SWG is that the quality of the software from an enginee…
  • If SWG isn't that great of a game then what are you doing on these forums? Because it could and should be the greatest MMORPG a Star Wars fan could ever play. If you have found a better game then SWG why aren't you playing it?. I do.  I quit SWG…
  • I hear ya.  I quit before they pulled that nerf.  A "player economy" in an MMORPG is still just part of the game.  Inflation is not fun, but neither is having no way to win.  SOE seems to have real trouble with balancing their precious "player ec…
  • After quitting SWG, my girlfriend and I have been playing EQ for a couple months now.  The Platinum Edition was a good deal.  Omens of War was a waste of money though.  I think we'll stick with EQ for a year or so.  By then, WoW should have devel…
