As per the last reveal setting space combat in a tunnel shooter, going along all restrictions imposed on your play style from Gear, LS and  species restrictions to no choice at space ship chassis,

If SOE brought back pre-CU.... Would you play SWG Pre-CU with JTL over TOR?

I'd rather keep my integrity and say no.

If they popped out a new server thats pre-NGE I would play on it, but if SWTOR was also out then I likely wouldnt even do that

Most people don't even know the terms "Themepark" and "Sandbox" when talking about MMOs. I'm also not demanding anything other then a fun game that last me some time, sandbox or not.

not this old story again,

You can't bring back an old game and expect the community to be the same as it used to.

In before NGE Whine train.

Common guys, I know its hard to let it go, I myself have been a SWG since Beta and left with the release of NGE. Lets just hope Bio-Ware notices all of the Pre-CU/NGE players and cashes in on our post "red-headed step-child" traumatic deprivation syndrome.

Who could have though that a single video game could keep so many Therapists employed....Move on already, mates. This can't be healthy.

I don't think it would take out WOW or to rephrase that,  I think the market is too saturated and plays up to EZ mode playstyles to have a 11 million sub sandbox, that being said, I doubt you will see a Themepark with any better numbers.

On the other hand though, I believe without a doubt that the CCP White Wolf mmorpg ( WOD ) will beyond a doubt kill this game. Since that game is building for most likely a 300 to 400k player base, where as TOR is building for a 3 to 6 million player base but will probably get 200k.

I wouldn't play it for a second, but I still wish SOE would do this.  Why?  Well, I want the SWG fanboys to GTFO of my KOTOR discussions and stop giving crappy feedback where it does not belong.

The SWG vets certainly seem to do enough of that. I am of the opinion now that I hope SWToR does not attract them. I do not want a community full of old, angry, bitter people. 

What if we all vote the option Certainly ? Maybe they go away then.

If I played it..

My reason would only be so the majority of people I don't have any reason to interact with wouldn't be there.   As they would be off in the "new game" crying about "nerf this and nerf that"

I voted for playing both. 

I adored SWG back in Pre-CU and would most probably return if the game was ever to be reprised.  Even though my dislike for SOE is bordering on all out hatred, I would still be very tempted to return.

However, there is no way in hell that I would pass up on SW:ToR.  I love BioWare games and I love Star Wars.  Put those two together and I am in gaming heaven. 

BioWare are taking a completely different direction with SW:ToR than SOE did with Pre-CU SWG, but that doesn't mean that I won't love the game.  I enjoy well made themepark MMO's just as much as I love well made sandbox MMO's and so far what I have seen of SW:ToR has been very impressive indeed.

I'm a vet but voted "Hell no!"

It would have been "too little too late" about 4 years ago.

Bioware really need to stay away from the whining NGE crowd.

SWTOR By Bioware , for Bioware fans it is just win win win. Cannot wait to play this game or just wander the worlds.

Bioware will be WoW style.  I'm not calling it a WoW clone.  But it will for sure be theme park, olding your hand the entire way type of MMO.  I doubt anyone can deny that.  Pre  CU was nothing like that.  They are completely different game styles.  Trying to ask if people who would play TOR would play SWG instead, given the circumstances, is just dumb.

That being said, we all know SOE is too stupid to bring back pre CU SWG.  I don't believe the lies when they say they don't have the code.  If you don't use a server to back up different versions of builds then you are dumb, like previously mentioned.  Another possibility is they believe, as in past times, that they know better than we do, and won't release it.  They probably think that we talk a lot and are the "whining minority on the forums".  I can't honestly say why they wouldnot being back PRE CU.  By all accounts it would make sense from a  business standpoint.  But this is SOE, again, so who knows wtf they are thinking.

Agreed. Let's hope the community isn't full of adolescent, stupid, complacent sheeple either!

I must be frank with you,. I don't think SWTOR wi9ll even be 'wow-style'. WoW, after all, is a pretty good game because it is consistent and coherent and, while it is skewed for a younger audience, is not always simple and it''s certainly not simplistic. SWTOR, I believe, may be 'too simple'.
