Star Wars Galaxies

Edit -erased Swgtester1's post ( to many insults, Think It got me in trouble) His points were SWG to him was all about PVP , And was a game for people who wanted a true pvp game (Close enough to what he said) He also stated things about people supporting companys like SOE and funcom are what is bringing gaming down to the gutter.

 some points I agree with , Some I don't ,what about you?

How is that interesting enough to warrant a thread of its own?

If you don't find it interesting don't respond it's quite simple.

As one of the two mentioned in the post, I would have to say I disagree :)

I was not aware that I made microsoft the evil corporation it is today. I was not aware I had ruined MMO's for the world. But as long as I have been caught --- I might as well fully disclose my sins...

Poverty---- me

Getting good shows cancelled for re-runs of Big Brother ... me

Elmo dolls --- me again.

In retrospect I would like to apologize for creating all of this by daring to suggest that GU5 had some good features. I am sorry I disagreed with SWGTESTER1. I am sorry that I thought for most vets--- customization and open ended character development was what most SWG vets wanted back via the Pre-CU. I was not aware the game was not for the Star Wars fans, but for hard core gamers who love PVP only. 

Oh  yeah, I really want to apologize for cancer... I have no idea what I was thinking.

That real hate should be directed at LucasArts games for the NGE push. They were responsible for it. The info on google to dig up for those who need more than word of mouth for the facts. Smed did have his part to play in misleading the players as he was one of the few people at SOE who knew the NGE was coming when people were being sold the latest expansion.

Yeah those parts gave me a chuckle as well .However I do think his motivation is in the right place, His execution just needs work . Mostly the speaking for everyone part ,  the whole blame the consumer mentality is a tad out of touch as well.

I must admit I've caught myself excusing MMO's for bugs early on , ANd making comments like all mmos are Fudged at release. As if to excuse that company for it's practices . Should the consumer really feel this way ? I know there is an element that will say there isn't much choice. But As Obee would point out there is.  i don't feel as strongly as some on this issue , But I do see merit in the opinion.

PvP was a large part of preCU SWG, but it wasn't all of it.  There was an entire social network of non-violent players who were the real backbone of the community.  I had always blamed the PvP kiddies for the constant crying about not being able to constantly zerg rush each other without any real thought or strategy like the game was an FPS.  Well guess what?  You got your FPS, too bad it was a POS.

This was the beauty of the game; it managed to be many things to many people.  Even those who hated the franchise. 

Off topic here I know, but did Heat go over to AOC with DREAD as well?

Actually to me most of those aspects were PVP to , you were competing for sales as a crafter , Attention and tips as a dancer , And always trying to have the best buffs to offer as a doc . It's all PVP in some aspect , It isn't only defined by combat IMO.
