• The servers are REALLY solid.  This might be the most stable and polished MMO I have every played at launch.  Once you get in .... The lack of a queue, the failure to boot AFK players, and a general lack of capacity makes getting in the game really…

• About 2-hours ago I tried to login.  I received the error that it couldn't show the NA/EU servers.  Shortly after the START button was grayed out.  30-minutes later I could see my character but the world was full.  I finally managed to get to he lo…

• With respect for Koster and his great history of making games, his issue is (and has been) he over-thinks the industry.   The issues with SWG wasn't Jedi grinding or pre-generating terrain.   It was a failure to recognize the IP and build a game th…
