I thought it was meant to be an awful game?

Elrein · 3 Jun 2006 at 12:58

People continually compare it to the way it was before sony made huge changes to the gameplay, i agree that its nothing like it used to be but ive grown to like it all over again.

IMO its still very playable

I spent approx 12months playing WOW and can definetly say that i wont be going back to it.

I just recently recieved my 27month veteran reward in SWG.

Star Wars Galaxies has been utter pants since April 2005, I played it since launch and then quit when the "combat upgrade" went live. I also tried the "new game experience", which is even worse.

In your opinion... SWG Has remained very popular since the controversial changes and many prefer the later game style. Just that those that complained seemed to be the most heard as is often the case.

The servers were dead last time I checked, with Coronet, Theed, and the Dantooine Mining Outpost totally deserted on pretty much all servers (I played on four myself, including Chimaera and Bria which were two of the largest.) The game has been in its death throes for a year now. Most of the ones who remain simply recycle the same excuses from SOE over and over again about how the game is still fine and everyone likes it, and that the ones who say otherwise are just a vocal minority with an axe to grind. :rolleyes:

Three years, two complete revamps, two mass exodus's and countless server mass-protests (resulting in countless bans and player-freezing actions.) The track record speaks for itself, and it's undeniably an abysmal one. Wishing that SOE care and the game is okay won't make it true, no matter how hard you try, and I think the fact they removed so many good professions and basic gameplay functions against the defiant chants of the entire player base proves it.

But what do I know? I only played the game since the very beginning, and I don't give Sony Online Entertainment £8/month anymore, so I'm now just a "whiny vocal minority" according to those people who you claim love you and your game so much. :rolleyes:

I'm glad you enjoy the game, but I think I would personally enjoy a hole in the head more.

Cupboards and chests are for wimps.

(and yes, it does rape my framerate)

My God that is a lot of stuff. :eek:

I roleplay my current character as a minimalist, so I try to make-do with inventory only. I have to say though, not even my "impulsive horder" characters have that much junk.

I wonder if that taxes the gpu or cpu more, looks like my room irl tbh

I heard a rumour that pre-NGE, SWG had over 500k subscribers and after the NGE went live they lost about 450k subs :eek:

.

It was just a rumour , So i took it with a pinch of salt.

Makes you wonder though .

I've never played the game but it's common knowledge that the game is more popular since the upgrade. I think that reply pretty much sums up why sony did what they did tbh...

Take it from a veteran of the game: No it's not.

If that's your only response, then I'll consider your concession accepted. The fact is that I have seen four particular servers (two of the busiest, Chimaera and Bria) since the game started, right up to the C.U. of April 2005, and in the aftermath of the N.G.E. of November 2005. You have not.

I saw those four servers boom in population and develop very strong communities of like-minded players, when so many players would gather in certain places (Coronet, Theed, Mining Outpost in particular) that it wasn't unknown for the server to crash. I also saw those same places occupied by only one or two people toward what I consider "the end," and usually away from keyboard too.
