Two years? TWO whole years??

Most excellent!

Now, if the bunker houses that TH was talking about in the Vet Awards discussion ever make it to live, we're all coming to your place for a party



ps,. purple eh? Suits you sir. Suits you.

Actually, I would have to say no to both of those Bil. MMo's are the wave of the future (well, really they are the wave of the present ). I was more surprised that there was a Star Wars MMO (and it was not fantasy). I knew after the first week of playing that I wasn't going to stop playing until they pried the game out of my cold, dead hands. My future in the game is a little more bleak than it had been, but I think I can squeeze another year or two out of this, if I can make it through the next 2 months. Remember, there will almost certainly be a SWG 2 .

Im quite surprised...i mean, come on, my toon is over 1 week old! But its fun..And its cool..Now i just need to get some more boxes in ranger(2-3-1-2 rifleman/2-0-0-0 ranger)

Im not suprised it lasted this long actually. With the StarWars name behind it that was assured. But the game has matured a lot in those two years. I am suprised that the other massive online game i play WWII ONline is reaching its 4th birthday. But not Starwars.

But to think of what we walked into with the beta two years ago. Seems like a completly different game doesnt it.

BTW Chauffeur650 isnt my beta login. My crafter account that i dont use in the forums is actually. My Ranger came after launch. Makes me wish i had always used the other login for the forums since it predates launch.

I'm only a newb, at just over 1 year, but am pretty amazed that I still a) play regualrly and b) ENJOY playing regualrly.

I've tried a couple of other MMO's and found them really lacking in depth compared to SWG. When all progress is quest led and progress is so linear then getting to the next level is about the only goal in the game. Am sorry, if I just want to work from level to level to level, I'll stick with FP SEUGs.

Here I can go hunt today, decorate my house tomorrow, sell some junk the next day, faction farm at the weekend, just sit and fish of an afternoon.... and it doesn't matter if my toon is 'level x' or 'level y'. Sure, its nice to master a profession and get more proficient at it but there is sooo much more to be doing.

When I saw they were talking about 2yr anniversary gifts I thought it seemed like a LONG time away, and suddenly we're 1/6th the way there already!

A friend I introduced to the game, what I thought was a couple of weeks back, was visiting me last weekend and mentioned he's now been ingame nearly 6 months...

TIME FLIES!!

Well, that's what they said about Ultima Online Development on that was abandoned twice.. Although 8 years later it's still around. (that includes 8 year vets from beta!)

I don't know if there'll ever be a SWG 2... even though EQ did it. But I'm sure we'll see yearly expansions and improvements. I'm sort of surprised a new one is on the way so quickly.

I can't see myself sticking around for 8 years. I'll probably leave the game one day - and probably change my mind and come back later, just like I did in UO. Sometimes I get disinterested, frustrated or other things with SWG... But I still think it's a good game has shown a great amount of improvement in a short amount of time.

The same can't be said of UO. Unless you like nostalgia in your graphics engine.
