I havent played for a while now and that brought back a lot of memories.
After the first CU I found all the player ghost towns quite depressing, everywhere I went I found empty vendors, or vendors just being used for storage etc.
In time my own guild disbanded and I just couldn't stand the sight of our town empty of players anymore. It used to be so busy too, I just didn't feel like starting again elsewhere.

Long live the Rebellion!
I hope you guys are still sticking it to the fascist Empire
God... that movie... BAH /cry
Just watching that video.... it shows that SWG has it all there! THe graphics, the environment... Its a shame that SOE just made some bad decisions...
To many good memories... God I miss SWG... I really do.
Sad, yes.
But $OE brought it on themselves. LA too.

I agree 100%, all they ever had to freaking do was tweak the pre-cu system and balance it out a bit and even with the bugs I still played it for hours on end. The NGE is a joke pure and simple, I cannot understand after all this time how they think they made the right choice?
Pre-cu I had 4 accounts to myself and used them all, post NGE even if I did stay and play it I would only need 1 account? Wont they make less $$ this way?? Soo many players on my server had 3+ accounts and most players like that have left for a more challenging game.No need to have credits or anything that makes u stand out anymore except Mando and a jetpack.

This is so sad, I loved SWG.
Its hard to believe just how bad they could mess up a good game.

Remember folks. Haden Blackman: Yeah, all the guys who are happy with everything are playing the game. They aren't spending their time sending you guys letters or posting on the forums.
And that was BEFORE JtL and the CU.
SOE/LA/LEC, if you read this, if you decide to remake SWG or make a second version, do it like it was pre-CU and you will have game that will succede.
That was well made.
And sad.

SWG Pre-Cu was the best mmorpg i ever played...

It seems like SWG did burn alive, and now it is fading away...
I decide who lives or who dies!
You.....
BEASTS!!
I've not even d'l the damn video and already I've got the lump in tht throat and the glassy eyes...
GROUPHUG!!!
AWESOME movie!!!
Made me feel really sad over what a great game SOE/LA ruined
SOE knows what you like... You don't!
And don't forget... I am forcing you to read this!
Very eloquent and moving. I kept seeing the game as it was in it's heyday, six months or so after release, in every shot--cities full of people, cantinas packed with partyers and layabouts, player towns springing up in the wilderness. Now it really is a case of the last one out needing to shut off the lights.
I know the game's a business, and in a strictly legal and economic sense SOE/LA have no obligations other than that of trying ot make a profit. But people also have ethical and equitable obligations to one another, and in both those senses the designers/management of SWG have completely failed their players. They should be ashamed of themselves as human beings for killing an original, innovative game for a loyal playerbase who loved it very deeply. I wouldn't say this if the game's original design had been unsalvageable. But it obviously wasn't. They could have kept what was good and fixed the rest, but it died because they couldn't be bothered to save it.

What was profound about that showing was those places are reconizable by most players were where we gathered at one time or another and always at the very least spamers were there.
The main thing missing besides players there were no spamers/barkers there either ..................
I dont know where to start....
I felt my heart opressed while watching this video...all those great cities, empty!! not a single soul....and he didn't include Tatooine or Corelia in his video...it is so sad...
Someone said before: "Star wars is there..the cities, the outfits, the look, the feeling..everything"...it is a shame SOE ruined such a good game and franchise.
To the maker of that Video...man..what a great job...you should be working on that field. excellent.
SOE knows what you like... You don't!
And don't forget... I am forcing you to read this!
He showed bestine starport, he also showed mustfar ( on the boards they say go to mustfar thats where the people are ( he showed the exist outside of the space station where folks generaly gather for groups), ALso inside of cnet there were no people coming back from mustfar or headed out
Other thing i noticed was Deric always had bhs running through there for missions not a soul around, and most folks did there missions at odd times as not to have mark taken by another player so even at middle of night or before servers went off line you would see people running through Deric
That film ought to be in the corporate offices of every mmorpg maker in the world today. Seeing that brought back memories but oddly enough the memories had people in them. Seeing those starports empty - completely empty was one of the most profound things I have ever seen online. I played my fair shair of marathon sessions and never saw some of those starports that were featured empty.
My god, there ought to be a hall of fame for stuff like this.
I haven't played SWG since late 2003, I quit in disgust.
But I always thought they'd eventually fix the game, and then I would give it another chance... For all the crap that was wrong with SWG, it still always had that ... something about it.
It really is a pity. That video makes me miss the real fun I had in SWG.

Hah, i have never seen such an obvious piece of propaganda in my life, i bet you he shot that video at 6am in the morning or something. Last time i played my sever, Europe-Chimera, was bristling with life. Naturally, naboo is a bit emptier now that you can planetjump with your JTL ship but bestine and mos eisley are the new hubs. Id like to see him shoot some video of those two locations.

not to burst your buble or anything... but, I just made a new character, and, it said that Europe-Chimera was on "Very Light"
I made the Character around 7:30pm Pacific US time.
