Everyday i come home from a hard days work, looking forward to running around with my best friends ingame, my pets (i cant have pets in r/l where i live). The first thing i do is log my ch on, and pick a pet to call out. Pet them, do a trick or two, and set out to see what kind of adventure we can find. I've raised them all from cute little babies, to full grown companions that fight better than i do sometimes.

Now i just feel really sad for them, and feel sick to my stomach. Soon they will be no more. I had no interest in doing any adventuring in the game tonight. I just kept pulling them one by one, wondering what I could tell them. My cute little raptor will probably not even reach adulthood. Always there for me, ready to play, fight, or just hang out. Im not a real social person, and they were my constant groupmates.

I know its just a game, and there are tons of other games out there, but none like being a ch in this game. Am i just wacky in the head, or are there others that feel the same as I do?

If you view this as just a video game then yes it is not normal. If you viewed this as a place of relief where you came to meet with friends and hang out, shoot the shi't and have fun then yes it is ok to be depressed. I know I am. You're not alone.

Personally, I actually spend time in camps, or ouside of my house, or even in my POB ship with my pets, I have a full datapad of them, I'll pick one out at random and hang with it for a while. SOmetimes instead of logging out at night, I'll take out a pet, target it and do a macro of /pet /scratch /tellpet tr1 /tellpettr2

And I feel very depressed I won't get to do that anymore, esp the ones I have had for years.

Yeah it's wrong to be depressed over a game but you know what? Screw it, I feel bad as well. I have a great family, a succesful business and a real cool RL but I still feel like crap tonight. People get attached to material possesions. The pets in game are not real freinds but I am attached to them. I fought with them for two years. From the days of grinding my master CH box at Fort Tusken to hunting Jedi this past summer, my pets saw alot of different cool things with my in game toon. I'll remember them fondly, like I remember an old Atari 2600 game. I'll miss them .

My favorite two pets are my huf dun (leatherhead) and my Torton (Ragnork) I went thru in a fit of anger and eareased all my pets except these two. I think ill keep em in my data pad just for old times sake. They were with me when I grinded up the profession thru almost every single fight. Im going to take em on a cruse to all the planets one last time before this gose live. I just dont have the heart to earase em. I pulled em both out and was tromping thru mos esely today and said outloud to em in game, 'I dont know what to tell you guys.' Yea I know there nothing but numbers in binary and glowing images on a screen but still.....im funked about it too. I have a life outside the game so I found it strange. glad to see others feal the same way....in a way. Ill still give the new game a try because of my guild but it wont be the same

/agree all MMOs have the potential to be virtual worlds. SWG of all really felt like one. I am not depressed (yet). But when I think of the other MMOs out there and I am in 3 of them and I think of CH as being no more then I feel the strains of depression sneaking tward me. There is in WoW the hunter. But the hunter is allowed only 3 pets max and never more than 1 out ata time.There is the Warlock that gets 4-5 differentNPC's but only one out at a time. In EQ there is the mage and enchanter and one other that haveNPCs but the total possible is 4 and you can only have 1 out at a time. In EQ2 there is a summoner subclass who gets 1 pet. No werre do iI see the variaty that SWG has. Nowhere the wonderful abillity to control and guide 3 companions. Without CH in the world SWG is just another videogame.
