Cerion Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) About 1 or 2 years after SWG came out, I sent a impassioned letter to BioWare, begging them to make a Star Wars-themed MMO. I was disappointed with the Star Warsiness of SWG, and knew from KOTOR success that BioWare 'got' Star Wars. Needless to say, as soon as the site went live, I joined, though I decided not to post much during the following three years. Mainly because I didn't want to get my expectations up. I wanted to come to the game fresh without too many preconceived notions. So far, a resounding success in my book.

Kthx Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) Remember when the forum was mostly used to start guilds? Years and years before the game finally arrived, there were fully-formed guilds and a deep sense of community; we were all together, waiting for the release of this epic game. What happened? My guild started a second affiliated guild because of high demand, joined the game, and have played ever since, with organized events on weekends. Unfortunately, we are still closed to new recruits or I would invite more likeminded players to join. What did your guild do?

Bobinstein Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Unfortunately, this concept predates the intarwebz. It applies to politics as well as driving a car... "Everyone who drives faster than me is an ***hole and everyone that drives slower than me is an idiot." "In politics, you either agree with me completely and totally or you are an evil person determined to destroy the world/America/the environment/family values/education/old people/the price of gas/trees/the whales/moral fiber/the economy/marriage." love the carlin quote, but this idea actually originated in Catholicism. and "idiots" were not as tolerated as they are in politics. lots of murder over differences of opinion god bless religion (but only my god and my religion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codek Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It never occurred to me that the time before this games release has suddenly become a blur in the past. I faintly recall frustration over fan Fridays and the "Red XXXXXX Reporting in" game for every thread that complained about when the next update would arrive. those were the times....

grania Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 and it just keeps going. why is this post taking off but all the actually cool stuff i write gets all but ignored Because this is nostalgic for people who participated in the old forums, I reckon. Why would that bother you? Besides, it's not like you're the only one to have ever started a thread that flopped, no matter how interesting or important it may have been. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roechacca Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Ya the games almost 5 years old. I don't know why people keep saying it's a couple months old. They just didn't charge ya for Beta. Now you get charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooks_THX Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Somehow I've managed to enjoy all aspects of the game, including all of the group content, but thanks for trying to put everyone who enjoys the game down I'm also someone who enjoys the game, but that doesn't mean I'm blind to its flaws. All of the things are listed are true. The game is a failure on many of the levels that it tried to succeed on. The one place that it works is single player story, which was always the main focus, and pretty much all I was ever interested in the game for. I basically have a Kotor 3 with some multiplayer element that I can easily ignore, where I can get 2 unique playthroughs, and some other replays with new story elements if I want them. As I posted in another thread, I feel the game is worth the money. Pro Tip: You can enjoy something without being a total fanboy. Not everyone who criticizes elements of the game is a "Hater" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppyschlitz Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Many got on board very early on and created a forum account. The date has no real meaning in my opinion, especially when you try to use it to show that you are better than anyone else. hehehe What! My forum join date doesn't automatically mean that my response is much more intelligent than those of the people who joined after me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
