Originally posted by mmonooblet lol nice try but no, when cu hit, swg listed a record 150,000 loss in the first week and hemoraged at an average of about 1k every week after untill around 2 months in where they started gaining subs back. then they hit with nge which knocked the subs down to a total of just under 100k subs. let me put this in perspective for everyone. at it's peak swg had a player base of around 500k active subs. after the cu on a single friday night it was reported that there were only 10k playing server wide. you and your "more people played after cu" just got shut down. and for those who will say "omg raging vet you should of payed the game in cu/nge and found out how much better it was etc. etc." i played even after cu hit and after nge hit and have been playing to this day off and on, the only saving graces in the game is the exploration, the bounty hunter missions, and the cool people that i'v known for years because of the game. i understand that people are tired of vets crying and i'm sorry; But to us this game was the greatest mmo we had and ever will play for many reasons you can read anywhere or listen to just by mentioning swg to a vet. did it have it's problems? yes it did but what game doesn't? on a different tact reguarding your post, a few games that sucked in the beginning and still do fo everyones enjoyment. World of warcraft-Pvp sucks and is skill-less Rift-weak wow clone Everquest-didn't suck but all i can say to describe it is mediocrity Age of conan-i shouldn't have to explain this one
now those of you who read that and are about to post "OMG I LOVE THAT GAME YOU ARE SO WRONG IDIOT" remember this is my opinion that i am free to have which is my main overtone of my entire post; To quote cory taylor "dig what you dig. Don't take any fools madness, dig what you dig" |

could have been avoided if SoE wasnt sooo stubborn to not make a pre-nge/cu server over the past few years.... |

HAHA, see ya suckers! Although, I'm quit surprised this game has been around as long as it has after the CU, but I suspect that was due to more of pride on smeds part then it was for the game being a success. I Reject your Reality and Substitute it with My Own! |

And ironically CCP seem to be following the same path, wonder how that will play out. However it's sad to see the MMO that brought me to my current guild (who I still remain with after 8 yrs) disappear, though I have the feeling it's to free up valuable resources for EQNext and Planetside, well thats my speculation anyway =).

Ten Years since i first read about SWG, it was my first MMO. Feels weird its gonna shut down. Dont think the future for sandbox MMOs looks even darker now. Good luck to that new "WoW Star Wars game". |

It's a strange feeling, just a couple of day's ago I activated my 45 day's of free play, though didn't have much time to get really into it yet. But regardless the issue's the game had/has in both pre-cu, the CU and the NGE, Star Wars Galaxies is still the only MMORPG that I personaly felt was what I think a MMORPG should be, obvious without the issue's but knowing the magnitude of the game, the feature's, the options, the content, no MMORPG has even come close to the experiance I have gotten from SWG. Shame we have certain wanna-be gamers on this forum that salut the closure of the game, but then again it shows that certain people have this "me me me" mentality and don't give a d### about other gamers who might have enjoyed or still enjoy the game. ------------------------------------------------------------ |

"I could sit here and list off websites and game magazines that praised WoW, I can also show you user rating from wow that put SWG to shame." lol appealing to the masses to compare WoW to SWG is hilarious :) I remember SWG being buggy as hell, but quite enjoyable since my toon mastered several professions and explored the worlds before retiring as a Master Weaponsmith, building up a reputation for my weapons, having folks to rely on for materials - other than what my machines were gathering, hosting free weapon giveaways (was making some of the best blasters and sledges), crafting best weapons possible for random beginners, and then changes were introduced. Played WoW back in the day too, it was decent, but I never really had to think to play or felt like my character was anything special or had any role in his world. I guess simplicity rules ;) SWG was dead to be long ago, finally adding the headstone I see. |

I don't care what anyone says about SWG vets being 'whiny LOL!1!!!!' and needing to 'get over it ROFLMAO!!!11!', when a game like pre-CU / NGE SWG can make national news because someone unlocked a feature, (i.e. their 1st Jedi character slot,) let me know. While you're at it, if you can tell me when that same game has such strong outcry from the playerbase about drastic changes made to the game that they leave en masse to the point where THAT also makes the national news, I'll be more willing to take your 'get over it LOLPWNED!!1!!!' comments about the 'whiny L2PNO0B!!!!1!!1!!' SWG vets more seriously. 'KTHXBAI!!!!1!1!' |

Originally posted by Wharg0ul Actually no, in it's NGE form it was merely a broken and unpolished version of WoW, with a good space flight sim tacked on.
Seriously, the level of delusion some (soon to be ex) swg players have is flabbergasting. Future: GW2/DF Relaunch/WoD |

Its funny cause I havent played it in years cause of all the NGE stuff and blah blah's.... But when I heard it, though I expected it to have happened before this, I .. I still felt sad almost. Sorta like watching the 80's cartoons like G.I. Joe and Transformers, I remember how I use to LOVE them, and then I see them now and facepalm. I was always worried to go back and turn SWG into my game version of Thundercats *soft sigh, sniffles*... I"ll always remember who you were Star Wars Galaxies. |

And people say that MMOs almost never get shut down..... I think this is the second MMO to really "die" this year? |
