Simply leave if you don't like it.
what kind of answer is that? I'll tell you....it's about the stupidest, most anti-social, self-defeating and unintelligent answer possible.
sorry the kids picked on you doa, but you probably deserved at least some of it....think about that.
I've been here since day 1 and I'll say that my experience get's better all the time. Day 1 the gameWAS unplayable. Why you ask? Because we simply overloaded the login server. For the first days the servers were up and down and we waited for them to reboot so we could soak up the experience. We loved it! Such a rich and wondrous galaxy to explore on foot, which took forever to get from point A to point B. Although this never happened to me, there were houses disappearing all over the place and you could walk through an area and see nothing but house signs hanging in the air. People were getting stuck in walls and couldn't move. Yet we still loved it and played.
Then came mounts and the time to run to the harvies was cut down to almost nothing. A short time later we ended up with speeders which made our transit time even less. Does anyone remember waiting 10 minutes for a shuttle?
Today we have more worlds to explore, space to explore, more content that isn't just camped by the ub3r l337's. How can you say the game is not playable? I think it's only getting better.

Actually no... I'll even explain... I left SWG cause Fantasy > Sci-Fi IMO.EQ2 - I love fantasy, always have, always will. BUT this game was pure grind, the quests were dumb and endless, and my guild fell apart so there wasn't even a person to chat with. All but 2 people I know that played EQ2 still due. Great game, awfully boring to play.Matrix - All round sucks. My acount didn't even make it through the pre paid time period.WoW - Cool game, but way too "cartoony". Felt like I was playing NES. Much better than EQ2 though. The PvP server had its ups, but overall, the game is made for little kids.CoH - WOW, great game, as long as you like 100% grinding. There is nothing to do in the game but fight. No crafting at all. And once you take your 3rd toon to lvl50, You're tired of the game altogether.Truth is SWG has the best crafting in MMORPG's, a smaller player base (so less lag), awesome graphics (really awesome), your typical grind (for those that like it), the ability to restart your toon without having to delete/reroll, a built in flight sim, etc etc etc.... the fact is was "Star Wars" was 2ndary. That's why I'm not leaving to play AD&D online, cause name branding means nothing to me.Oh, I prefer the CU, that was the deciding factor in my return. I understand your complaints, but they are over exageratted (sp?).
lol your vision is scrwed! but after all it's yours
i guess"barely playable" has alot to do with what profession you are. jedi, half skills dont work, or have been made useless.
mbh/mcm running like a champ, no self imposed snares, no worthless skills
my melee stacker, again no worthless skills, has heals coming and going, can go all day.
jedi, will now thats a whole diiferent story, heck, even basic skills such as speed are broke, 6 second 1 heal. self imposed snare as a master box reward, i reall dont feel like listing every nerf we have gotten, from 85 saber block to 25 at master box, from 4 heals to just one, from 3 runs to just one, "toggled" lol,
whats master healer again for?
master defender box is for a self imposed snare skill?
half of healer has no use anyway.
half of enhance doest work
so i guess i should put on my wool, and act like the game is only a couple months old? then i havent been playing since noc 2003.
anyway, i ll put my wool on and act like nothing s broke, everything is perfect, oh and my favorite, the game"is only a couple months old" baaa baaa baaa baaa baaa baaa baaa baaa baaa baaa baaa baaa baaa baaa baaa baaa

I just want to know where my $14.99 goes. Sure isn't for fixes and regularly added content. Can you say pocket padding for SOE executives?![]()
For a discussion of costs in MMORPGs from a lead designer of this game as well as Ultima Online.
