I played pre and post CU and have no particular rant to vent.. I am a fan of SOE through endless hours of fun in EQ2 but I just think that age is catching up with SWG.

I am glad they are still supporting it for the player base that stills enjoys it but I wonder how long it can continue with all the constant triple A new releases competing for the fan base and without a major graphical overhaul.

I tried resubbing a couple of months ago and it just felt a little bland.

No. I'm not playing because the price is too high, because hell, I am usually subscribed to two MMORPG's. I won't play SWG, because it is a bad representation of the Star Wars Universe. As a Star Wars fan, I would never touch a bastardized version of Star Wars. The fact that there are quests, levels, and classes don't bother me. It is the fact that the classes are a poor representation of the actual professions, the quests are just grinding quests with no effort to hide the fact that they are meant to be grindy, there is only 1 way for a person to advance through quests and even that way has gaps where you need to grind, and for a game that is item centric, it only offers a few items worth anything, so everyone looks alike at the end. Plus the economy is horrible.

 

Even if the game was free, it would still COST me time and energy to play. It may sound like I am angry, but I'm not. I just don't like poor games.

Did you not see the last 3 movies...The whiny brat that is to become Darth Vadar, the micro organisms that are really what the force is, the fact that Darth has no father (cough **Jesus**cough Born again**) the Jar Jar bullcrap, the list of how GL crapped on this series is near endless! Complain about the way they went with this game but, man don't say their version of Star Wars is worse than GL's steaming turd pile.

Considering that GL is the deciding factor of what Star Wars is and what it isn't, you don't really have much right to say what the pre-quals should have been. Last time I checked, GL invented Star Wars and had the entire story envisioned. So like it or not, these 6 movies is what Star Wars is "officially."

You sound like you are just trying to fit in with the rest of the crowd when you talk about Anakin being a whiny brat, midiclorians, and Jar Jar. Do you have any original opinions...something not stolen from the bandwagon of haters? I happen to think that Anakin properly portrayed a troubled teenager, which he was. Midiclorians was a good explanation of where the force came from. What did you expect, magic? Yes, Anakin didn't have a father, what is wrong with that? Do you think that Jesus has a patent on that and can't be used in a fictional setting? Yes, Jar Jar was goofy and annoying, but you hate him? Why, do you hate every race that is different than you? You see, there really isn't a very good logical reason for someone to hate the first 3 Episodes of Star Wars that can't be argued against intelligently, because all the reasons against the first 3 Episodes are based around unintelligent and immature knee-jerk reactions.

At any rate, you know SWG is a bastardized version of EP 4-6, even if you don't want to take EP 1-3 seriously. A Jedi who can use lightning, but can't perform a force pull, yeah that isn't bastardized. Or how about everyone running around with the same named crystal and hilts? Sounds bastardized to me. Last I heard, Knights found their own crystals and created their own lightsabers. Yeah, I know it is just a game, but I am not a game designer and I can think of better ways to develop a Star Wars MMORPG. In fact, read the official forums where all the suggestions have been made for Jedi. All of them have been agreed upon as being better than what currently is in game. The Jedi community has been very vocal about how their profession has been ignored since the release of the NGE and how it can be improved.

I understand that SWG has a loyal following and I don't wish for it to close down just because I don't like the game. I understand that SOE is responsible for this, but I don't wish for them to fail. SOE has the right to do what they want to their game, as I have the right to unsubscribe when I don't like the product anymore. But when the discussion comes up, you better believe I will voice my opinion on this issue, because that is the purpose of forums.

Thanks

Your first statement is the answer to the rest of your post.  LucasArts/Film is the deciding factor on what is Star Wars and what isn't.  If it's in the game, then it's something that has been approved by the Lucas companies.  For better or worse, LucasArts has openly stated that they're prepared to bend the rules of continuity for SWG on certain things, such as Jedi.  The LA producer of SWG mentions this in a recent interview on Startics

it is a very good game and worth to play
