Given the design of MMO's these days, it's unlikely I'll ever have another MMO to play.

This about sum's it up for most Gamers above the age of 30.

 

SW:G was my first MMO and my first Love.

I've tried Vanguard and LoTRO and WoW and EvE and most of the others...but they are not Galaxies.

It will be my last for a long time.

SWG was also my first graphical MMO, but I still remember the days of MUDS and MOOS.  There was just so much to do or explore in SWG, and very few quests (which is fine with me).

Never found any

It's hard to believe all those places within SWG are gone.  I spent so much time in the game precu it felt real to me in many ways.  I took pride in my house and the furnishings which I built myself or found on one of my shopping trips.  I took pride in our town, and the memory of all those adventures and places I visited is still strong in my memory.

 

But...time marches on.  Playing SWTOR andk Skyrim at the moment.  Trying to hook up with old SWG friends but i think they ahven't gotten into preorder yet...so trying out some classes I didn't get a chance to play.

 

SWTOR is no SWG that is for sure.  It's not trying to be.  But for a different type of game, I am having fun with it at the moment.

Waiting to get into Planetside 2 BETA, and waiting to see how EQ:Next turns out. SUPPOSEDLY, Smedly said they were going to concentrate on redoing EQ from the ground up BASED ON the old pre-Planes of Power EQ for EQ:Next. HOWEVER, if the graphics engine is going the way I think I might want NOTHING to do with this game unfortunately.

 

Currently, EQ:Next is headed towards the direction of the FIRST AAA-Sandbox PVP oriented EQ. Similar to how Zek was in old EQ pre-Ykesha. That being said, the screenshots i've seen of the game in Alpha make it look like MASSIVE shoulderpad wearing WoW graphics, no thank you sir!

 

 

Other than that, I'm keeping my eye on ANY "Open World Sandbox" MMO titles that have been poking up lately.

-Infinity: The Quest for Earth

-Light & Dark: Remade (forget the name?)

-ArchAge

etc....

 

 

Anyone know of any other Sandbox games in the making atm? Except Dawntide! Game looks terrible :'(! They've made almost zero progress lately.

Faded you playing Planetside now?

Most gamers over 30 are still playing MMO's.  Despite what the cool kids say, WoW and now SWTOR have many players that are over 30.  The people who were left in swg at the end need to "get over it" and "move on".

I'm playing Vanguard and EQ2 atm. Will move on to GW2 or TSW once they release. Also going to try out Blade & Soul (playing the beta, it is pretty decent. The T & A are awesome.) and TERA once they fully come out.

Woah, woah!  I'm not over 30 :P

Its sadly only been a very few MMOs that i have stand since Dec 2005.

If im forced at any direction when i login for the first time, i just quit.  I dont want to kiill ten of that and then ten of that, iw ant to play a MMO.

World of Warcraft. Sorry for the lack of originality.

Since SWG died in 2005 I've been looking for a new MMO, there just hasn't been one since that isn't a poor imitation of WoW. After TBC WoW really died for me and I have had no interest in playing that style of game any more either. So just been playing SWGEmu, Project 1999 and Feenix on and off for the past few years. EVE Online died for me when Capital ships got brought into the game and turned into Capital Ships online.

I'll wait to see how SOE manage to ruin Planetside 2, see what Titan is all about and hope for a Pokemon MMO lol.

Skipping SWTOR and hoping TSW is worth the wait.

Im still an SWG refugee, i have hopped from game to game over the years but never getting

past the first month sub, nothin compares to pre-cu

/cry

Vet since 2003. I tried SWTOR in the beta but i really didn't like it. I'm probably going back to EVE or Vanguard.

Funny to be here again I played SWG from start to NGE. Best ever. 8 years past and we are older now. So things change. Not always in good ways not enaugh time or will for playing mmorpg. But I checked SWTOR. Not even close except lightsabers:). Todays games are for another generation not ours who has an accont from past like me.

I know it's been said a million times but if you didn't go through NGE you don't understand how deep the SWG scares go.

I will never play another Online MMO Star Wars game.

Everytime I hear Star Wars ANYTHING I cringe....and yes that may seem stupid and narrow minded to most people but some of us old Vets, NEVER forget.

 

 

 

And you guys will soon be right here with us playing ToR cause everyone on the freaking planet will be playing it!

Nope.
1 - The game is boring.
2 - The cinematic animations are stiff and facial expressions look awkward. Ruining my immersion.
3 - The worlds are sterile and bland.
4 - The game is a little too easy.
5 - It will become a sit-in-the-capital and wait for raid/dungeon game.
6 - The stories are clichéd and the dialogues are sometimes corny. Not funny corny either.
7 - The CC is generic and the characters look like plastic (Ex. EQ2 characters, but EQ2 had a good CC for their characters and plenty of off the wall races. Ratonga FTW!)
8 - You cannot start off with a surname. Which will easily help with the name loss issues. Instead they give you the legacy system.
9 - Since there is 0 chance of adding a day/night cycle. We lose the chance to have unique content pop up during different times of the day.
10 - Combat is pretty slow and boring.

These are my main reasons that I will not play the game. The game bores me.

Nowhere.

SWG was a unique game. There will probably never be one like it again. The complexity, the community. Played it since 2003 and it was my first MMORPG loved.

Back then when I discovered SWG and had finaly found the game of my dreams I was sure the future would hold more and more great games like SWG. But instead they just release arcade games with MMO support.

Bah.. everything that has been said about Sandboxes vs. Theemeparks have been said thosands of times on this webpage and I am not going to repeat it.. but untill there is a good sandbox worth paying for, I am not supporting any companies with my hard earned cash.

 

i feel the same.  ive tried other games and now just not sure if or where i will play another mmo.  dont feel like putting my money into anything unless i know i will like it.  there is just nothing out there with the freedom and comlexity i want.

I know many of us are headed to SWTOR.

Been bouncing back and forth between WoW and other MMO's since the NGE myself, but heading to TOR for the foreseeable future.

What about you?

Haven't seen you around for a long time, since RLMMO. SWTOR for me, playing it now
