I know there are more announcements to come regarding player cities but this little bit of information so far seems rather underwhelming IMO.

Player cities are one of the best things still remaining in SWG and recycling centers is the best "upgrade" they can come up with? I honestly expected more. 

It's better than nothing and still the best city system out there

Brought to you by the same people who though the Ewok Day of Love (or whatever) was a good idea.  It's really sad watching this game I once loved sink further and further into absurdity.

The funny thing is, if these geniuses at SOE would just roll back or add some new servers with Pre-CU builds on them, a crapload of people would sign up and play for a while. I know I would.

You can't tell me they don't have an old load and source code for that version either. Are we to believe SOE was not versioning their source code, or that they decided to delete all their previous source code when the NGE launched? 

The problem with SOE and pre-cu is this, pretty much most, if not ALL, of the original dev team is gone. They would have no one who understood the code, it was buggy enough back then, yet sitll the best MMO ever. So never mind now with people who don't even understand the code.

Every time i see a update i think, should i go back?  I always am saddened when i actually do give it a try...

Oh joy, another broken UI.

Problem is now there are so many great changes that I couldn't live without so if I play the Emu I'm not having fun because it doesn't have the kool things they'e done since the NGE and If I play the Live game I hate it because they took away the profession system.
