So obvious this was designed by devs from EQ2.
1. Zones - bleh, the worst thing about EQ2 is the zoning. Its a simple cheap cop-out way to avoid making a realistic world.
2. Paying for content - In EQ2 they actually charge you for new content. Its the same here as Kashyyyk is more like a new dungeon.
3. restricted open space - the one thing that made SWG stand apart from other mmorpgs was the ability to go where you wanted to. I was so shocked when I realized that I had to follow those narrow paths on Kashyyyk. EQ2 is similiar, there are a few wide open areas but its so restrictive to get there.
Overall, Kashyyyk reeks of EQ2 and lets face it EQ2 is a flop of a game. Why would SOE think to copy and use a dev team from a game that failed ? This is probably the final straw for me SOE. I stood by you from beta 2 till now but dont think I can stomach anymore. Please get rid of the damage multiplier system and CL and I might be able to overlook the lies and awful similiarities to EQ2.

People comparing it to only EQ2 are ignorant as they come. Why don't you troll the WoW forums telling them they copied EQ1, or the EQ2 forums saything they copied AC. Shut up already for God's sake, haha.
Face it. 90% of the MMORPGs out there are 90% the same. DEAL. WITH. IT.

You know what? I dont give a crap if it's like EQ2: its the most fun Ive had in SWG in years. And dont start with this "SWG was unique!" emo, alternative crap. It doesnt matter how different it is if it's boring as feck, has no content and the system is too difficult to develop for.

i thought the sub-regions' layouts were pretty cool. i love the hunting grounds, the dead forest is pretty cool, the ryatt trail is nice as well.
i feel like the main kashyyyk is pretty crappy, it is too restrictive, they should make it more open like endor, only with HUGE trees scattered about.
the quests are nice, but we did not need a new planet for them. nor did we need to pay 24 bucks for them.

I dig Kashyyyk but also I agree that it *really* sucks that I can't go wherever I want, just like on any other planet. I can't explore on my own here, I'm being hand-held through the paths.. More freedom!

He is not trying to make a point, he is trying to beat a dead horse.

Maybe a silly Q but WTH does this have to do with "Game Guides"?
