Original Player Thinking about coming back?Follow

#1 Aug 14 2009 at 10:13 AM Rating: Decent
Hi,
I played SWG from early Beta - about the 2 year mark of the game. Recently I've been thinking about coming back and was wondering if it would be worth it to come back and play again? I've been reading a lot about the game and from what I've read it seems that this game is almost dead? Is that true? Should I just forget it and wait for another online game to come out? (I hate WOW and all the little kids who play it).

Another thing I've been reading was that on MMORPG's are just about dead and we will never again see a game come out with as much potential that this game had when it was new. I've been gone for several years so if someone could reply thos this thread and bring me up to date I'd appreciate it. Thanks

The game isnt dead, but there has been a lot of server consolidations. there are now about 4 or 5 active servers, so if you have any old characters still, they may qualify for a free server transfer, my advice though, is to download the station launcher and give the trial version a go. unfortunately, the game is very 'top heavy' ie, mostly max level characters wandering about, but as levelling is fairly fast and relatively easy (even soloing) i wouldnt let that put you off. the game is fairly jedicentric, and is more about pvp than before, such as it is. i get bored of pvp very easily so i found it hard to stick with it, you might well have a different experience :D

my advice, use a free trial and create a char on ahazi or bria, or maybe bloodfin, i think bloodfin was the highest population.. not sure :D

This, give the trial a go and it should give you an idea of whether youd like the game or not.

I'm waiting for the KOTOR MMO. It's gonna be righteous.

Not quite true, take a look at my Badger's GCW and Player City stats - August

SoE hooked up free transfers for 12 of SWGs 25 servers, the rest are doing OK... although I'd suggest giving Gorath a miss.
