I've been playing Second Life for awhile now.
SL is a blank slate that people make into what they want for good and bad. Like SWG some people make clothes, some people make war and some just dance all day. The land is divided into squares and squares joined to make continents, subcontinents or in many cases "islands". In many ways SL is what SWG could have been if only.
Alot of us there played SWG and after the 10/24/07 Penny Arcade comic about BioWare Star Wars MMO rumors I've been thinking about SWG ALOT and talking about the old days with the other Refugees in SL.
I'm thinking of going back for a visit, I hear its a ghost town everywhere. Anyone made the voyage lately and have a report?

The game is literally inhospitable to new players. I'm level freaking 86 (out of 90) and I found leveling up impossible without hours of mindless grinding. That wouldn't be so bad but there is no loot system in SWG really, so...
That's all I have to say.
... the game started sucking about ten levels after. And I mean sucked. Questline upon questline that rewards no xp or anything worthwhile, even after hours of mindless killing. Soloing the game is maddeningly slow, even respeccing from one solo-friendly class (Smuggler til the early 30s, then Jedi or Soldier after) to another.
Well, grouping's what MMOs are all about, right? I'll let my good friend Mr. Phil Ken Sebben explain:
Ha ha! Group XP penalty.
They fairly recently nerfed the ever-loving shit out of group XP (grouping with just one other person a couple levels below you can cut your xp upwards of 70%) while simultaneously buffing the ever-loving shit out of mobs, making almost every mob pack you come across social, which means you'd be hard-pressed to solo it. Basically, the risk vs. reward got thrown completely out of whack.

Well in my defense, I ended up playing the rest of that one month mostly for the space combat, which is still pretty goddamn fantastic.
(mainly because SOE hasn't touched the space game in nearly three years)

Well, the next major patch is supposed to have some space overhaul coming with it. We'll see though.
