  • Did someone touch a nerve? I fail to see how "Late justice for the NGE.  WTG" equals a rant. A case of blaming the victim, maybe, but rant?
  • Given the drastic changes that SWG underwent from launch to now, I'm surprised that they haven't done a Fresh Start server already; SOE created a new game, but kept the baggage from the old one. I don't play anymore, but if I did, I would be in full…
  • They've done the "come back and play SWG again for free" deals before, so If they felt they could benefit from it now, they would again. In my case, I stopped playing those freebies a while ago and wouldn't return to the game now even if it became F…
  • A Krayt dragon hunt in a party of about 20. On the way there, we (rebels) nearly threw down with a group of imperials also on the hunt. Once we found the Krayt dragon, I was quickly dispatched after only a few shots, being the lowly smuggler I was. …
  • I've also heard claims that SOE gave out inflated subscriber numbers for SWG, but that is a hard accusation to prove without some sort of corporate infidelity from an insider. By the way, that site rates the accuracy of all its information, so that'…
  • It's actually on a separate chart for 1,000,000+ subscribers, here. You can see that WOW has a draw like no other. I've managed to avoid being lured in so far.
  • That interview was at the end of 2005. Check this chart (from: http://www.mmodata.net/)  for what happened to SWG's subscriber base around that time. I'm sorry WOW isn't on that chart; it couldn't fit.
  • I prefer to have my gear determine the way my character looks, as "appearance armor" is misleading and puts me in the mind of those fake coffee-can mufflers on unmodified cars. However, I also feel that in most games there is not enough variation in…
  • I'm glad someone else brought this up. When they removed item decay from SWG, it made me sad (among the many other horrible things that were done to that game, but i digress). I'm in a long-winded mood right now, so bear with me. Another way to lo…
  • Mabinogi's cutesy, anime graphics make me a little queasy, but I'll give it a try. (Sorry if I sound picky, but it's the truth). Fallen Earth, while decidedly not cutesy, has me stuck with MMORPG sticker shock. Maybe I'll get over that and play it (…
  • Thanks, I'll give it a look. Runescape has that same "f2p, but pay for extra content" thing but Ashen Empires sounds less restrictive on the free side.
