    I tried STO.  Wanted to like that game, waited on it, bought a lifetime hoping that it could CHANGE.  But, sadly, I asked for my lifetime to be refunded last Monday.  Pew, pew, pew, no crafting, no housing, no interiors, small worlds, highly instanced, no open anything, a loading screen every 30 seconds, no end game not even a WoW raid in at launch.  Did I mention highly instanced?  All it did was show me what I missed about SWG.

     

    How is it possible that you expected those kind of features in STO? Dont you read about a game before getting a lifetime sub? Oo

    If you are looking for a skillsystem, check Fallen Earth. If you are looking for the other features of SWG, check SWG..its still there with more stuff added even. Even the bugs are still there :/

    To the question the title poses, no, you arnt doing anyone a service or a disservice. In your little corner of the world you are crusading to bring the evil doer to his knees and in reality only succeed in fueling your own fruitless hatred. I guess everyone needs something to live for but most choose something a little more productive.

     

    Always about the people with the issue isn't it?

    Due the simple fact they kept saying some of those features would be in.  Ship Interiors, guild ship yards, guild space stations, crafting to the point of shipyards, no star fleet admirals standing around headquarters with ? marks over their heads, etc etc etc.

    Then the Atari sale came along and it appears the entire vision CHANGED.  The lead dev just did an interview and said something to the effect of, "We made a game, not a simulator".  Even Koster called WoW a virtual world with game's in it.  Maybe that's why WoW still gains subs and STO is leaching subs.  Who knows?

    I could always deal with the bugs in SWG.  Work-arounds, etc.   The game systems were so many I guess, bugs didn't ruin the experience all that much.  Would have been nicer if they were gone, but they were just not that game breaking for me, at least.

    WOW! you guys are really working it up.

    Though to be honest with you i like SWG, Mostly for the things already mentioned, but I especially like the starships. I like the idea of walking the decks of my own ship. Supposedly STO will add features like this but the truth is developers make games so cheaply, that content means little to nothing to them, just getting us to buy the game seems to be all the profit they are after. Look at what has come out, STO, CO are the only 2 new ones i have played, but they have no real content, it's all about touchy feely crap. I seriously doubt that anyone in the MMO industry is ever going to make a good game when all they seem to want it to just get us to buy the title.
