When this game was released, it was my first MMO. I didn't start right when it was released, I started at least a year before the Combat Downgrade came out, it opened my eyes to how fun these kinds of games could be.
I quit SWG for the duration of the CU, I got an even worse surprise when I came back to the game. The New Game Enhancements. This piece of dog crap reared it's smelly and repulsive head, pretty much killing the game. If killing the game wasn't bad enough, here comes New Game Enhancements, literally corpse humping the dead empty carcass of what was once a fun game that I played with family members and friends alike.
So I started this thread to just remember what this game was.
Oh and also I guess to remind SOE never, ever, to support games ever again.

Good times.
apparently it gave me the jump to lightspeed expansion which i never bought?
yea, SOE kinda got to a point in SWG that they decided they had messed it up so bad they better start throwing free shit at you. thats why when you get on you will be attacked with veteran rewards. its really never worth going back to that game now, unless your gonna play the emu thats coming out. or unless your a roleplayer, there are buckets of that still in game.
aside from the fact i glitched and had them all disappear after 1 logout.
GM fixed it though, although man, the new GM interface sucks.
I got a bunch of trial passes at Celebration III and I keep telling myself I'm going to reinstall it and fire it up again just to see what it's like one of these days. I never do, though.
No shit, Sony. It's mine.
Remember when Planetside could have upwards of 50,000 people on at any time and two battle continents poplocked at once?
I mean, apparently entertainers buff again.
Which makes the "LOL HI HAN AND CHEWIE!!!" tutorial so much more horrible.
Then the rest of the game pissed on my parade.
