Krakov Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Surprised that SWG was not converted to a free 2 play format with a micro transaction store to further supplement the TCG sales... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonSM Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 What is this, the 100th thread about SWG? Let the game die, there is a reason it died in the first place. It wasn't until after it died it suddenly became popular when it was alive, it had a cap of 300,000 subs. And because WoW got 1-2 million, they came out with the updates to keep fans from leaving. The reason it became bad was because it was doing bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skapek-Skocap Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 SWG was an awesome game, when it was alive. I will always remember my times playing that game, being that it was my first MMO. But, that being said, I've moved on. Let SWG die in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vealage Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Ultima Online began a generation of MMO players. That generation today plays games like Mortal Online, Darkfall, and even EVE. Everquest began a generation of MMO players. That generation today plays games like World of Warcraft, SWToR, RIFT, Everquest 2, and others. SWG began a generation of MMO players. That generation hops between Ultima-like games and Everquest-like games hoping to find a new home. There isn't another game out there like SWG. Even at the end of the game, if you were on Starsider (the most populated server), the economy was healthy, and hard work got you wherever you wanted to go. Don't want to work hard? Find a new way to make money. There were thousands of ways. I gave out loans with interest payments, built high-quality speeders, and at one point was hired out to a fledgling city to build new structures and help attract new residents. And this was all of the out-of-combat stuff. Combat had its boring moments, sure, but so do most games out there. Realizing that man on the ridge was a Bounty Hunter coming for the price on your head (set by other players voluntarily, or by killing too many enemy faction NPCs) was exhilarating. Assaulting a Rebel/Imperial base was also intense. Sometimes the opposite faction would let you get inside what you *thought* was an abandoned base, but in truth they were just over the hill waiting for you to get far enough in to be blind. Star Wars Galaxies was its own living world. I was there when the Imperials assaulted Restuss on the planet Rori. I was there when Luke Skywalker landed in Theed and every Imperial in the galaxy came to try and kill him. Luke won. The Civil War was alive and well in SWG. But, you never had to choose a side. As with the universe created by George Lucas and countless others, neutral characters played a massive role. Gah. Look at that. This was supposed to be a short post.
