wired.com— "Radical alterations to the Star Wars Galaxies universe are aimed at attracting new players -- but so far have simply caused longtime fans to abandon the game en masse."

im waiting to hear about layoff's at sony, i know they are strong as hell, but nothing lasts forever.im noticing them much more now, and its usually with bad things.
Good. Everyone associated to Sony Station is a piece of s**t. This includes people who play the game, people who sit on their forums, and mainly their customer service. Their customer service was the #1 reason I dropped my account.
I played SWG almost from the start and the 30 or so character classes was one of the best things about it although Sony always had trouble maintaining a good balance in the game. I played several characters with the final one being a Master Doctor - I actually become one of about 4 major buff (stat enhancement) manufacturers on the Chilastra server and hundres of millions of credits from doing this.At the time I decided to quit ,and started selling my credits via IGE (about 14 months ago I think), they made several changes to gameplay. Wow - talk about people leaving the game. Whereas once Naboo spaceport was a bustling epicenter, it was now almost deserted. And it was very obvious that people weren't playing anymore because the price of credits started rapidly dropping from $20/million to $6/million. Shortly after I managed to offload my credits (I made over US$1000 :), IGE pretty much stopped buying credits.I don't believe the SWG universe really recovered from such a mass exodus and if another exodus has occured, the SWG galaxies must be a virtual graveyard by now. A pity - cos SWG was quite a fun game to play.
i loved this game when it first came out, they should of fixed the bugs and not f**ked with the gameplay structure. (especily the sit down and fly 2 miles away from where you sat down bug)
Sony's Smash and Grab of Matrix Online wrecked that (although it was already slipping). Why should their rubbish MMORPG department do any better with another major movie lisence?
Wow, I'm so surprised that only one troll made a comment about how Star Wars movies suck. I expected more. We're so happy to hear your opinion on the Star Wars movies, especially since it has next to nothing to do with this thread.
Leave it to Sony Online Entertainment to ruin franchise (EverQuest) and potential franchise (Star Wars) games. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
Hi, i have downloaded 10day trial SWG, but im just wonder if any one knows any private free server?if any one made it :Pany way i just want to try out more when 10days trial, and later buy the game and pay every month, cause my friends student "In game" he did play swg, and he just stoped playing cause swg owners did f**k up the swg with new update, i dont know what they did, so i want to try out or some one can tell me what problem they have right now? :P

LucasArts needs to get back to what it used to do best: adventure games. The hell with Star Wars.

Sony didn't screw this one up... this was Lucasarts doing.
