*sorry*
Anyway....
Through its bad rep and game flaws we still continue to play this fascinating game. What is it that thrills us? Mabey its an MMORPG that isn't about mideval times....Or mabey we are star wars nerds....mabey its because we like futuristic mmorpgs.
Whichever it be we still love the game. When i saw this game on a poster not to long ago i had an idea of what it would be like. I thought of it as being in an at at with 4 other snow troopers riding slowly through hoth. Rebel land speeders whizzed by as lasers explosions were heard outside and someone who was piloting explained that we will be dropping off in 2 min. Then their would be a great raid with rebels fighting imps. I also dreamed that i would be leading an assault on the trade federation colony ship or deathstar. Leading the charge with our naboo starfighters or xwings/ywings and assaulting a giant base.
But come to find out the game was nothing near that. Still it sparked my interest. I hoped to meet other players around the world and meet bounty hunters, stormtroopers, smugglers and other great professions. Mabey seek out the force...
But later on the game kinda got icky. Ranged professions were to strong and were Attempted to be evened out....but this created stackers *mostly melee* Then buffs, compo armor, and foods were added. Uber slicing credits rose, the game changed. It wasn't really star wars much. Other problems were created. Things were either nerfed so badly or some things wern't fixed. Devs improved the game by adding things but not fixing much of the problems. EQ had expansions and publishes. SWG has patches and publishes now and then. The devs try hard to fix the game and make it fun for everyone. But can they? If one thing they solve leads to problems? Mabey this is why mideval games were used instead of futurisitc games. Mabey its to complicated.
But yes it is just a game and it is only BASED on starwars.
Then jedi...ahh..great jedi....i had an interesting idea what they'd be like. Three people in the bar were harrassing a jedi with a cloaked robe,drinking some blue milk or jawa beer. A smuggler, carbineer, and mabey a pikeman. And the jedi sat quietly ignoring them until they finnally ticked him off. The jedi would incap all of them with a single hit and leave the bar tipping the bartender while leaving his foes incapped thinking of what they did.
But then jedi began swarming. They became easy to get and now everyone is a jedi. I thought their would be 4 or 6 jedi total that lived on remote planets like endor at the end of a forest in a hut.
The game is ruined mostly. But not entirely.
When i ussually stopped playing i would relax or something. Later on i'd watch a movie that reminded me of star wars or watched star wars itself. I studied the professions thinking...hey mabey if i was so and so i can become uber. But it doesn't work that way...
When i was flipping through star wars comics i noticed an interesting bounty hunter who was after the jedi during the clone wars. He looked like a bothan with dreadlocks. Anyway he carried a sniper rifle on his back, two pistols at his sides and a carbine looking gun with a grenade launcher attatched. the carbine would shoot rapidly and grenades would push jedi back. When a jedi got to close he would pull out a vibro knuckler looking weapon. If they were far he'd use his sniper rifle. Now and then when he would pounce a jedi holding him down with a boot he would blast their face in with his pistols taking their lightsaber as an approval for their kill. So i thought hey why don't i be a tka....rifleman...pistoleer and carbineer? ..the template sucked. Good for pve...but lame for pvp. later on it happened. I forgot about the knuckler. So i created a new guy...TKA, pistoleer some carbineer and rifleman..it still wasn't good.
I keep watching the star wars movies, reading books/comics and games to see what the hardest professions of enemies were. Mabey they would be the answer. But the game has changed.
I still think its an excellent game that resembles star wars. Although fixes are needed and evenness too the game can become one of the best games ever.
It all happened..a long long time ago...in a galaxy far away...

For some, it's the ultimate goal of becoming one with the Force.
For others, it's the ultimate goal of killing those who are one with the Force.
For others still, it's ruining the economy all over the server. *cough*Starsider*cough*
