This isn't the first time rumors of SOE shutting down a game(s) have came up.

  I doubt that's true, I have 2 account in SWG my guild members have 3 and 4 each.  We are older players so money is not an issue ,We are having fun in SWG collecting badges, We have a big entertainer event coming to our Cantina  next month Oct 18 2008, comedy act and it's playing all servers that day,We have each have entertainers ,jedi ,bounty hunters, commandos,all level 90 ,we buy all the rare pictures in game and have them displayed in our city.
   If you don't like SWG live , the dead game lives ,and is now on beta in the Emu open source community ,like the private wow servers started.

  I like alot of the new controls and things from the new game over the old ones. I've gotten over losing two years of grinds, my stormtrooper pets and old friends. But yah I was pissed at the time . And I do test the dead game in Emu TC.

LOL

So I started to walk into the water. I won't lie to you boys...I was terrified. But I pressed on, and as I made my way past the breakers, a strange calm came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things, but I tell you, Jerry, at that moment ... I was a marine biologist.

 Population problems? Yea some servers on SWG have lack of people but the core servers are VERY healthy populated. 

Don't believe me? Get a trial and log into Starsider, Bria, Bloodfin, Flurry, along with some others.

On the other hand SOE needs to give Gorath free transfers as Gorath is a ghost town.

SWG isn't perfect but it's the best MMO out there. No other MMO gives such a variaty. The fact it has both space, and ground games gives you 2 games for 1. NGE has been greatly improved since it was first launched. The game has many elements I always liked from pre NGE. 

Simply I still have fun in SWG and that is what matters to me. Other MMOs bore me, but SWG keeps pulling me back in. The community is still overall great. Lets just hope SOE don't shoot themselves in the foot again.

Wow, well considering this thread is from over a year ago...

The thread was started in December, not a whole year ago and with the recent events regarding Matrix Online being shut down it's actually well worth digging out.

It's just a question of time, when SWG and Planetside will follow. But I wouldn't be surprised, if SWG and Planetside get shutdown until the end of 2009 aswell.

This thread started in March 2008.....

Hardcore modes or permanent death makes every close call an adrenaline rush, and every minor achievement a major victory. This alternative rule-set should be in all MMORPGs.

Damn, I'll never get used to this format of dates.

For me 3/12/2008 reads as 3rd December 2008... :p

Maybe ... maybe not. It's all a guess. The internet might collapse in a year.

The SOE mmo's are left with hardcore players that have invested years in SOE mmo such as SWG/Matrix/EQ/EQ2 and such. Its the hardcore players that have invested the time and money that keep the SOE mmo alive and don't want to leave because of the time and money they've spent to play SOE mmo's.
