Thread: SWG was the different MMPOG. Now, it'll be like all the others . . .
And exactly that is what i am worried about ... there will be still nothing after lvl 80 and the GCW revamp is prolly month away..

I spent 2 hours this morning in the first area and I am happy so far. The loot system is better, combat is faster and I am constantly provided with new things to do.

Well, MsNil, my friend, I have an update: After reading some early reports from Test Center, I'm gonna stick around another month to see what the new game is like.
Against my gut feeling, I'm gonna at least give the new SWG a chance. If I don't at least try it, I would never really know.
But if it's just like SWG Battlefront II online, well, that's not what I want in a MMPOG. Not even a SWG MMPOG. I'll be gone.
If I wanted to play SWG Battlefront II online, I can buy Battlefront IIand play it online for free.
The combat system feels "simpler", I cannot deny that, although it also offers some more freedom compared to before. The equipment seem to add more to the character now, and I pick equipment at will, not "enforced" to my set of skills.
This thing appears huge. Just the added quests will be enough to occupy me for months.
But I have to see what happens beyond level 80, and how the Endgame in the GCW works.

One thing is for sure.. the NGE is not ready to release.. like all the other crap that hasnt been ready to release.. and this way it will continue.. in 2-3 weeks some ppl will discover the first bigger balance issues and then the "balancing" starts again. And a couple of month they will just fix the bugs and ADD bugs.. like always... and this is kinda the state of SWG since.. ALWAYS... Basicly you can close your accounts and wait a half year.. and see if the game is finally fixed.. then try it out and if it applies stay and if not .. leave the game behind with good memories.
you are totally right bro.

If you ask me, I rather stand the bugs in NGE than whatever it is that is live right now.

As soon as the NGE is live I have heaps of things to do.

Since the posters in this thread seem to have enjoyed the old SWG for the same reasons I did - rich immersive world, many choices for combat, crafting, exploring, interacting - may I suggest you google a game called 'Dark and Light' or else look for its previews on www.mmorpg.com. It is a medieval fantasy game but it is apparently gigantic, 20,000 square miles - and beta testers I have talked to are just knocked out by its details (for example - there is atmospheric flight which allows you to have dragon vs dragon duels BUT if you fall off your winged mount and press space bar, as you freefall you can do backflips, somersaults, slow your flight 'Bond'-style and then open a parachute. This is just ONE detail of ONE aspect of the game). The free 'prelude' game of DnL is called Settlers of Gannareth and launched some time this month.
I am about the same age as the OP and agree 100% with his stated reasons for leaving. I have also canceled all 4 of my accounts. I have also heard about D&L and been watching the development threads. I am very hopeful that it will provide the sort of immersive world that SWG initially promised but failed to deliver.

I wasn't excited by Everquest. Never wanted to be a wizard. Put WoW in that category, too.
Didn't really get hepped by beingmedieval in Asheron's Call. Put DOAC in that bag, too.
Anarchy Online is pretty good, but not enough people play it.
Got tired of looking at the blackness of Eve Online.
Earth and Beyond was too basic.
But Star Wars Galaxies was different. The wealth of races and professions and the economic system was so innovative! You could be something truly different in SWG! Something truly your own! Something more than a console-shooting, FPS idiot.
In short, SWG was the "Thinking Man's" MMPOG. Now, it will be just another game for 12-14 year old button mashers.
It's not for an old geezer of 49, like me.
Star Wars Galaxies coulda' been the greatest MMPOG ever. Instead, it will go down in history as the biggest failure in MMPOG history.
Five accounts cancelled here.
Good Night SWG, and Good Luck.
True. it's moving from a family based mmorgg to the standard 12-20 something game like wow, coh, etc...just it's nature go we're the short term money is.
Only problem I see is it's just not as good as those other games so not sure if it can even compete.
My subscriptions run out in Jan so they have till then to win me over i'll keep an open mind but right now the carpel tunnel will kill me.
like the ability to target in and hit the keys for specials rather then the click fest were getting. Feel sorry for those with disabilities.
Maybe some will sue under the american disability act....

Pls share what the hell you are going to do ... might be i change mind ... i sure dont know what to do after this patch other then getting to lvl 90 ... and the other thing is pvp.. and how will pvp be after this patch ?well i gurantee you when they dont merge servers there will be ZERO pvp on some servers like mine.. simply cause so many ppl are leaving the game with this thing... And on my server... to euro times.. you cant find close to nobody online... and there is nothing more worse then MMO that noone plays...
Im holding off judgement untill it goes live, it should however be pushed back about 6 months before it goes live, because other than the falcon bug, the fact that several things seem missing, the voiceover for han solo is pretty bad, and so on, it needs alot more work before its ready for release.
I for one hope that they for once do things right and dont push it to live to soon like they have with everything else. Then i hope they put a server with the patch 8 code up so the ones who enjoy the RPG playstyle rather than the random hack and slash oooh look the pretty colors bs.
Oh thanks for the tip on dark and light whoever said that.

Forget that... this thing will roll over you. Its too late now... instead of waiting and finishing the works secretly for another year they will just release this thing... and i personally dont even care if its finished or not... just let em patch it...all the work before was for the poopoo anyway...
