Its more of the chicken and the egg than anything really:
Community abandons SWG, which is part of the reason we got the CU (folks leaving because the game was sucking and broken), major reason for the NGE (to open up to a new audience).

Another tiny shread of the former game being talked about for development? Are they so stupid? If they want to maintain, then they should get to fixing bugs. If they want to grow the game, then they should get to sc…
Generally, first person shooters have over the shoulder view in 3rd person so your character wont block your reticle. I think because SOE wanted to make SWG into more of a shooter mmo to be "star warsy" (hey it can work, but not for SWG...a new game…

Might be a bit of both...as you can get a mount or so from the legacy quests...

Since NPCs wear it (like the eggshell rebel helmet) and you saw it in a screenshot, most likely it was a user mod. Folks can switch the skins of any armour in the game to whatever they're wearing...but it'll only appear that way on their screen (but…
