well it been a while back say 2003-2004 since i have last logged in the game. me im just curious heard things about game is ruinned by flight battle some crap like that and i heard they have completely ruinned the game i wouldn't go back didn't get a reason so i came to ask the players of the game. What has changed have they improved custmer serves has the communty grown or decrease or is it completely dead in servers what your opinion should i try the game out or not. Read Gamers review on ranking lol it a bit of both.

Thank you so much hanuki :D

......Sits down in thread......Grabs bag of popcorn.......waits for the inevitable firestorm

I agree this should be awesome!

The trial is there for a reason.

Yeah, I would suggest giving the Trial a go and see for yourself.  As mentioned, you can get it at www.tryswg.com.  Chilastra is a pretty high populated server and would be my recommended pick :) 

If you mean:

Does it still have only 9 static professions, Jedi still available on character creation, no meaningfully unique skill templates, Benny Hill movement,  no animations, Batman particle effects, horrid UI, pseudo FPS by default, lag despite few players due to a combat system that runs several times faster than the internet can handle, crafted items still suck compared to looted, etc, etc...

Then your answer is NO.  It hasn't changed fundamentally from what we were forced to accept on 11/15/2005.  They've put some new coats of lipstick on it, but it's still the same pig.

 About all that has changed is that it has even less subscribers than a year ago.

It is obvious Salvaje hasn't played it due to even press saying that the recent chapters have been a hit with fans bringing new life to the game along with resurgence in numbers. Now are they any where near the 350k number they posted post-CU probly not, but hell they are now where near their 60k low either.

They have done good work on trying to bring back the features in which people liked, and leave out what people disliked a lot. I enjoy the game very casually now as it is not the biggest game to try and accomplish everything, but it is fun and fast paced along with really fun en mass pvp.

If you like the original combat of SWG and hated the CU you might actually like what the game is becoming again. I really disliked the CU, but I delt with it, and now I am really enjoying SWG again. Now if you are looking for a full time game shrug it is nice and they have added a lot of stuff to keep you busy for hours on end day after day if that is what you are looking for.

Best bet is to just check out the trial and see for yourself as they have added collections in the chapter that can be done at a multitude of levels so as you progress you can challenge yourself more. I still play maybe 10 hours a week, but do enjoy a lot when I do. Hope it works out for ya OP.

on topic: I would recommend giving it a try, most of the negative stuff comes from people who no longer play, so, for the most part, they have no idea what theyre talking about

oh, yeah...and Starsider, remember ;)
