SWG really screwed up bigtime, because they have some of the most loyal fans if they would have put out a good product!  No other game on the web has so many mothballed players talking about potential and trials as this game!

I think they did you guys a severe dis-service with this game, but let's keep it in perspective.  They are never going to remake this game into something more than it already is.... which is trash.

The game is getting much better every update, so by you saying they are doing a sever dis-service is ridiculous.

It's a Star Wars mmo, let me say that again Star Wars  mmo with less than 120k subscribers. Every gamer that happens to be a Star Wars fan and Star Wars fans in general have all been done a huge disservice.

No it is not.  The purpose was to increase subs...that did not happen.  They ONLY market this game to former players and not new players.  Ever wonder why that is?

Thank the real SWG vets for keeping other games from getting the NGE treatment.

120k subs? I doubt there's more than 10k at this point.

It's barely getting better -- and in some ways it's getting worse. The DEVs continue to make the same mistakes over and over and over again.

It's one step forward, two steps back, two steps forward, one step back. Like a drunken somnambulist, the game staggers along into the future.

I don't know. I am quite pleased with everything I have seen so far in GU5. I love the fact that crafted weapons will again be superior to looted items, I love the fact that old weapon skins will finally be viable.

That sort of improvement is very good. What they need to do, though, is to lay off all the combat revamps... that is what leads to strong burnout among those who have stuck it out.

I may be the only one--- but  I love the fact they made an EXAR quest... the geek in my loved seeing the old statues to him out on Yavin. The meatlumps--- meh. The concept of the Tusken attack is pretty cool.

So I would say they are okay for content. Getting much better at crafter issues. Totally clueless with how to rectify PVP/PVE conflict--- and totally absent on GCW issues.

So I would say GU5 is probably the best this particular group has done. If the appearance tab gets in I will be stoked.

It's not gettng better at all.  If anything, the servers are getting more and more desolate.  The only reason some servers are seeing an increase in population is because everyone is rolling new toons because their servers are dead.

This game MIGHT have 10,000 subscriptions, that is just pathetic for a Star Wars MMO.

Sandbox please.

me and 250k of my friends can''t be wrong BRING BACK PRE-CU SWG AND FIX MMOS

the nge has under 5k players from what i have been told

the nge if it doesn't pick up will be shut down by the end of the year

the game is not getting better if it was going to get better $OE would have rolled all the servers back to the pre-cu.

untill they do $OE will lose and us vets will win as more and more mmos will have to go sandbox after what we have done to kill nge
