I have just resubbed to SWG again after being away for over a year, I thought I would give it a chance as I enjoyed the game so much before the NGE.

I cannot believe how empty the game feels now, I have visited Theed, Dant etc all the places that were buzzing with life when I first started playing the game, the whole game just feels hollow and void of players.

How SOE and LA are happy with the current game and subscribers I will never understand.

Their is talk and its just talk of a SWG classic server, I honestly felt that when the CU arrived it had improved the game, and had got used to how the game run, but the current game to me feels very alien and not user friendly.

Oh well the maons have been heard before, but I wondr if their any many people who prefer the current game to the previous set up?
 
Well after watching this: http://www.swg-clone.org/Caio/MemoriesCaio.wmv

I have just posted this on my old guild's forum:
**** it I cant take it this game is worse then ****, how some of you have gone back to it and are enjoying it I will never understand, and those of you that have stayed and still pay the same if not more money a month to play a worse game then you started with need your head examined, it really is that bad, I feel sorry for anyone new, thats if SOE get any new customers who dont know how good the game was before the NGE and do not know what they have missed.

I really need an online game but I got bored in Wow need something that mixes ut up a bit, still got guildwars at least its free to play, I think SOE should pay you guys to play SWG.

Their is hope of the SWGemu getting off the ground and apperently LA have had a meeting with the team behind it, I honestly get angry thinking of what the game was about I started in 2003, spent months holo grinding to get my Jedi, 30 profession's later got stiched up by the Publich 9 rubbish, unlocked a few days after and started work on my Armorsmith for 8 weeks, got my Jedi, spent months grinding to Jedi Knight, spent months turning my Armorsmith into one of the best on the server, made well over a billion credits, run a shop, had a jedi loved the game and now look at it. Well the only losers are SOE who must be losing lots and lots of $$$$$ every month everyone I knew had 2-4 accounts. Just reading all these replies shows how people feel.
 
Taken from http://www.shadowsinmotion.com/swg-server-population-revealed

It’s probably safe to say that most of us are aware of the NGE that has essentially destroyed Star Wars Galaxies. There has been a lot of talk on gaming sites about how drastically the population on this MMORPG’s servers have dwindled. Many have speculated that server pops were merely in the hundreds.

Now it seems as though that speculation was accurate.

It turns out that the SWG servers sends the population numbers of each server to the game client when a person logs in. This is used by the client to determine if the server has a heavy, medium, or light load, which is the information presented to the player. A curious gamer ran a packet sniffer on his computer and checked the information that it logged to determine the number of players currently logged into Star Wars Galaxies.

This information was taken on a Friday evening:

This provides a very interesting peek into the actual state of Star Wars Galaxies. Numbers like these cut painfully through the hype and positive PR spinning to reveal the truth of the game’s current state, and I would not be surprised if SOE changes the information that is sent from their servers to hide this data.
 
I have to disagree, I thought that jedi added to the game in a big way, I enjoyed playing a mixture of crafter and my Jedi account, it isnt as if Jedi could not be killed in PVP, a Star Wars game with no jedi would not have worked.

At the end of the day the amount of professions SWG had made the game and also the community, the crafting system was amazing I managed to build myself up as one of the best Armorsmith's on my server, I had a shop a website everything a crafter could have wanted.
