Star Wars Galaxies

I am writing this thread to show the stupidity of many SWG veterans. Which makes all SWG veterans, including myself look like complete lunatics. Please read the entire thread before you post anything. Trolls, I advise you all to stay clear of this thread. I am an SWG veteran, and this thread's intention isn't to try to justify the NGE. The true purpose of this thread is to tell every fellow SWG veteran to finally shut their huge mouths, and find a new fun game to play. Just like I did. Yes I'm a genius I managed to find a game other than SWG. Please feel free to congratulate me (sarcasm).

I am very surprised and annoyed by the fact that people are still whining about the NGE and CU. It has been 3 years ladies and gentlemen. Three years!, how can you hold a grudge for so long? This next sentence will sound very sexist, and I apologize. The only people I've seen hold grudges for that long are women. You guys sound like complete fools when you whine about something that occured a few years back.

All of you that disagree with me will probably try to counter this argument by saying that you spent time and money on this game. So your telling me that every game that you played and got tired of and quit, was a waste of your time and money. My friends that is exactly what it sounds like. You had fun with SWG right? that's all that matters. Move on to a new game, no game is eternal. The only games that are eternal are vaporware.

There are many great games out there. Trust me you'll find one you like. I was one of those that was pissed off at SOE for ruining SWG, but I moved on. Yes SWG was one of my favorite games, but I got sick and tired of whining about something I had no power over. Just stay clear of SWG and play a game you do enjoy. Crying will get you nowhere. It will just make you miserable.

yeah its time to find a new game but, i couldn't find one frankly, which one did you finally end up playing? i can't find anything to keep my interest for more then 3-4 months...

nothings a true sandbox any more and once you've played a sandbox its hard to go to a linear game play style...so most people whine about it when they hit the same dead end i am at...instead i try to actively research almost every single new mmo that comes out but still haven't found one...

just my views...

Very true, that's why I quit playing mmorpgs for the time being. I've been playing single player games. In particular single player rpgs including Oblivion. Looks like my wait for a new sandbox mmo may be over. I have a feeling that Stargate Worlds will be like SWG.

Here's a reality check for you.  Some of the issues related to the NGE are current, as in a real problem today, May 29, 2008.  Two examples, misfiring specials, non-functional collision detection.  Why are these still issues?  First of all, they're frustrating as hell.  Second, they are the first things SOE promised to fix the day after the NGE went live, and they still haven't fixed them.

Here's another reality check for you.  People aren't whining for their toy back, they're telling fellow gamers what SOE and SWG are all about so that they don't get burned.  They are also calling for changes to the way SOE does business, so that people don't need to be constantly warned about getting burned.  It's called consumer advocacy. 

Your assumption that people are whining over a lost toy is a baseless misrepresentation of people's actual concerns.

P.S. I'm personally enjoying another MMO very much.  It works and I've never been misled by the service provider.  I also have a number of leisure pursuits outside of video gaming.  At the same time, I don't want to see other gamers go through what I went through, and I still think SOE needs to work on the quality of their service.

calm down. Don't go all "get over it" 'n stuff. We've all had a creepy uncle touch us in inappropriate ways some time ago. Best thing to do is talk about it, inform others, and discuss relevant issues.

Here is a paraphrased story of Saint Augustine that I think fits best with those who tell others to move on with SWG. And I think I'll just do copy and pasting for every future one for now on:

While walking one day through the food court,  trying to figure out how to solve the problem of having former SWG veterans to “shut up and move on,” there is a child performing some kind of task on his Wi-Fi computer.  The child would type out a full three page message and send it out to both SOE and LA.  Receiving no messages in return, the kid would repeat the process.

Finding this odd and curious, “Son what are you doing?”

The boy responds, “Why I'm sending emails to SOE and LA to have them implement a “We want you back campaign” for their former customers. And I'm not going to stop until it happens.”

Responding with a chuckle of disbelief, “Son, that is clearly impossible, they won't read your messages or listen to you.”

The boy replies, “Far easier for me to finish my task than for you to find an answer to your problem.”

LOL@ SWG

Anyone who doesn't see things the way the OP does should just shut up. No need to express your own opinions.
