I tried the game on my last vet trial and stayed. Of course it is in no possible way compares to pre-cu and this is evil soe etc, but... crafters are back, my WS is having bussiness and it's fun, it's again complex and about schematics and component…
So you trying to say they gonna repeat every feature in which SWG financially failed? LOL
No, my friend, sad but true, they will produce everything OPPOSITE to old swg, because in the eyes of the LEC that version of the game failed (in terms of mo…
To OP:
you kinda teem up with SOE here. Remember what they told us on NGE launch? Existing player base doesn't suit us, we will find new, younger and bigger one, goodbye.
We know the result.
So no. They just failed to provide marketable, play…
That's two different issues: playable Star Wars based MMO and existence on the market sandbox-type MMORPG.
in terms of the first issue I belive vets won, because they voted by their feet (=$$$ not paid subscriptions) and their voices, which widely…

So-far the sandbox system has been proven not to work, I guess 'our' 'your' 'my' only hope for a sanbox is darkfall.
EVE Online has more subs than any SOE game, with over 230K…
Wrong company. I won't speak for all. My guild (running from 2003 with some crash points at CU and NGE launches) is full of new players and transfered players from other galaxies who receive all the help they need from vets guildies. it's not about …
we "win" only if classic server opens up. Even when the game shuts down I would call that a draw at best.
and btw your blind assumption of less then 10k subs is very very wrong. They are somewhere about 25-30k subs at least. (Mine opnion is based …
If (if!!!) Bioware's upcoming "online entertainment" will be Star Wars based MMO, SOE maybe will launch pre-NGE servers, otherwise they will end up having zero subs. If not - It never gonna happen, too much investment for a very doubtfull targeting…
Few points regarding the discussion above:
- IMHO (and I always thought so) all those awfull changes and wrong decisions by diff. swg dev teams are coming not from the fact they did not listen, but from the fact they listened too much. It started…

I know that what he stated has already been said before. But what he suggests is pretty awesome! I was amazed at how he re-did the profession selection screen (the first one on the "facing the User Interface" read). I …
Add-on to your list:
Raph Koster:
"...regardless of how I feel about the NGE itself, I think that the real lessons of it are mostly stuff that isn’t even visible to the public. (For example, IMHO the real lesson is about data mining..."
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 …

It saddens me to see that all the dev team has been doing since the NGE is reimplementing substandard versions of classes they took out. What a waste of time. Imagine what the game would ha…
Tried: a lot, most time invested (beta and about 2 months of very discrete playing) LOTRO because of the books obviously.
liked: none
Currently playing: none.
Also had some hopes for Stargates, already lost them, not the game for me.
Right n…

I do succumb to this temptation once a year approx.... Partly because I liked old pre-cu game very much, partly because I want to play some MMO in star wars universe, partly because of what you said - SWG enviroment, which is partly still there - ca…
I share the OP's feelings about old SWG 100% , complexity, depth....
But about it being not very attractive as a business concept. Have you ever heard about http://secondlife.com ?
It's a very very succesfull project in money terms and it offer…
to metalazo: this capital ships stuff was shown at the funfest 2004 or 2005. They aren'tt doing anything new, just re-packaging old.
to MetaSeven: good points indeed. Although as I see it they're not improving anything, but just simulating some …
