Star Wars Galaxies Won't Die With New Star Wars MMO

You can't kill something that doesn't live.

i'm on one of the servers constantly listed as "heavy", population wise, and its a challenge to find a group.

SWG may be open, but its still "dead" already.

and tom nicholes is an idiot. playing for hundreds of hours to earn jedi is exactly what i wanted to do, and did, before lucas arts and sony boned me with the nge. if im going to put effort into something i want it to feel like i've spent time earning something worth that time. and i wanted to feel like the challenge was worth the goal. swg felt that way for me, up until the nge, even with the CU.

in fact, now i'm sitting here wondering why i'm still paying for this thing.

first lesson any company that does research needs to learn is, give people what they want, not what they say they want or you think they mean they want.

swg WAS a game with a steep learning curve and a awesome community. everytime i discovered and mastered a new process i felt like i had really achieved something in game. now its so dumbed down its hard to feel like you do anything but point and click. and the community is so dead there's no one to really learn those things from, or achieve them wtih.

Star Wars Galaxies won't even survive until Bioware's mmo ships, much less beyond it's ship date.

I mean, I doubt SWOR won't be out until at least 2011.

Yes. Yes, it will.

Anybody know what the online pop. of galaxies is?

I'm guessing there's a fee involved if they want to pull out before SOE does or the agreement expires.

Hahaha "listening to feedback" is the part where they started to fuck up SWG.

If they would have removed Jedi from the game again completely and would have worked on bugs and content instead of turning this game into this horrible abomination wihout it's skill based system, this could have worked really well and would even have a chance to coexist with a brand new "WoW-clone StarWars game".

I guess a lot of people wanted to be a Jedi because they were bored out of their mind and it was the only thing left to do, and because it was something "special" since you had to earn it. At least that's true for me, I unlocked my Jedi and played him for 5 minutes to assemble a lightsaber. U-hu, /logout

What few players that still play SWG will all go over to SWTOR once it comes out if they have any brains left at all.

Obviously this didn't need to be said.

SWG has already been dead for years.

lmao. SWG is so dead at this point. They killed it with NGE / CU. We exactly are these 'many other features'. Would that feature be another upgrade to further destroy the game?

The game is just too old now, the game is a ghost town, and it just flat-out isn't fun.

Maybe we will get SWG for free, with the purchase of SWTOR.

It's been dead for a long time.

"We've learned how important it is to listen to your community and act on that feedback," Nichols explained.

Great news!......So when is that non-NGE server coming out then?

- Bitter, Jaded, SWG Vet.

they themselves won't kill it...the players will just migrate over and it'll just be ghost town
