Name me a game that can garner that type of emotion and I will listen, otherwise, you are nothing to me.

EQ1 ...

You know, I've have joked about the longing and extensive posts made about SWG,,,,but it  IS a shame that SOE..and whoever was involved from Lucas Arts..had to fuck with the game that seemed to have an impressive player base..but apparently not enough cha-ching for the powers that be....  The sad thing is...even today..the game is better and more involved than 99% of the mmo's  on the market...but has now become  a well...forever poisoned. Only the few who have grown tolerant..can play it now. I liked it when I played..off and on for the last 3 years....I have other preferences now..so I do not play it at all.

i would like blizzard to make their game old SWG like with Death Knights as the jedi and see what happens :D

Vets? Did these guys serve in some military? I beta tested  SWG played the game for a couple years and moved on...would that make me a Vet? Guess not I don't hold this obsessive grudge.

Anyway it's ironic that a guy who created a fan site whose entire reason for being is to bash a developer who broke his wookiee is telling me to get over...anything.

 

The forum is called SWG Veteran Refuge by MMORPG.com.  Also, there is more than one definition for the word veteran; maybe you should brush up with a dictionary.

These forums are what is called an enabler. They are obviously helping you in your belief that it is not insane to mope around an internet forum and lament the patching of an insignificant internet game.

It’s amusing. The so called "Vets” can show up on other forums and fan sites spread their hate, rejoice at tragedies like the suicide of Jeff Freeman, even wish harm on developers families and that is all ok, but let anyone show up here to the Post Traumatic stress ward and question the relevance of holding on to a useless grudge and the tears start to flow.

You guys have been a sacred cow on this site for far too long, and represent the very worst element in gaming.

we had our game stolen from us and what did we do? we did what every good gamer should do we showed the world and the rest of the gaming world that $OE lied to us and stole our game from us and now look at $OE it is a shell of it's old self and all the rats are jumping ship

and we did not rejoice at jeff freeman's death he was one of the few whom came out and said sorry and told us the truth about the nge and why $OE stole the pre-cu from us

Whenever I think about a SWG "Vet"  my mind conjurs a picture of a basement dweller hugging the collectors edition box while rocking back and forth saying "itll go back to normal it has to" over and over.

No, they would be called an 'enablement'.

But more to the point, we're only here because this forum is dedicated to discussing a lost game. But you, you're here because we're here. You're not here to discuss a game or analyse its faults or lobby for its retunr. You're just here because we're here.

Do you think something might be wrong with you?

Well, imagine how ape you'd go if one of your beloved trading card games was taken away from you?

'Trading card games'. Lol. Oh well, I suppose somebody has to buy into them. Good luck with that.

The so called "Vets” can show up on other forums and fan sites spread their hate,we only hate the way we were treated. also it is you who came here to spew hate.rejoice at tragedies like the suicide of Jeff Freeman, even wish harm on developers families and that is all ok,no it isnt dont lump all of us together we saw jeff as a beacon of truth but let anyone show up here to the Post Traumatic stress ward and question the relevance of holding on to a useless grudge and the tears start to flow. i see no tears just laughter. directed at someone mad about a game that ended 4 years ago. we got over it long ago.if coming to the vet refuge makes you so mad why come here? to troll of course.

You guys have been a sacred cow on this site LOL NO we get banned for any and everything while trolls like you do not. for far too long, and represent the very worst element in gaming.  if by that you mean we dont forget when we get screwed then yes. we are the worst thing. for shady companies.

it isnt the card game. bioware just showed some new concept art or something and they are overstimulated. time to put down the plastic glowbat and take a nap.

A rather one sided arguement there, gramps. I think the majority here all know and understand that PreCU will never come back in its fullest form. What we do here though is express our disatisfaction of the chain of events that deprived us of the game as well as post occasionally on how we miss the communities we used to belong to. Some held in there longer than others but eventually those communities left so there is little they can do. They eventually find their way here and other places to post. Some posting more than others to be true.

There are literally thousands of sites on the web dedicated to the expression of memories from communities, events, places and times. It is very true that on those sites, there is the occasional poster who informs them that all things come to an end and that they need to get over it. But the numbers indicate that they are the minority as the sites continue and grow even more so. Vets here post laments is the same vein that poets write of golden moments and singers write about Glory Days. I can't imagine telling the Boss he's an overgrown lap baby. Let me know how that goes.

In the meantime, you have the right to your opinion and the right to do whatever you wish with your time albeit as long as its legal. So do the vet posters here.  Being realistic and "knowing all things come to an end" is a personal choice and opinion that pertains to a specific topic in your life. It doesn't make you a moral authority of what is right and wrong.

Your right it seems not all things do come to end but maybe they should.

What an absolutely sublime response Kefkah!

Good job

The game was great at first.  It was shiny, it was new, it was fun.  Everything to explore.

I really did enjoy the game at first, but it was Star Wars.  Something many people grew up loving more than anything, and for me, it was a great social place to share with people with similar interests. 

I wouldn't say it brings an emotional response of sadness or something, but more, "wow, I am in Star Wars" sort of feel.  When the game changed, and that feeling left, it wasn't fun. So Most people left.  Nothing wrong with that.

I am sure TOR will give that feeling, to a different extent at least.
