This was my favorite MMO ever and nothing has ever help up to it for me. I started in 2004 and ended up becoming a Jedi just a few weeks after the Combat Upgrade, which i didn't know about because my pc died on me and I had no access to the internet and I think I had about 2 or 3 days before it switched over and I almost quit.
One friend on SWG helped me realise that I should give the game a chance and I actually ended up enjoying it a lot more than the original, I just wish more people gave the game a chance aswell but i guess they had a right for having a 2 weeks heads up before they got the shaft. Though the combat was better the community suffered a lot and you could really feel that the population was considerably less than it was.
The New Game Experience started and i felt really annoyed like most jedi that they had been made into an average class and that a lot of the professions had been cut out, not to mention the game combat system was way too simple. The combat got a bit more strategic after a year of fixing things but time went on and the game just got so buff heavy and reliant on jewelery from dungeons that it just got to be too over the top.
I gave up 3 years ago but I went back 2 years ago in the summer and i logged on like once and never went back because it was dead. The developers didn't have any skills to make that game, I think they had a team of 4 or 5. Whoever made graphics for the game late on was awful at it and made objects and textures look really ugly and old and nothing like you would have ever seen in SWG. There are still a lot of bugs that haven't been fixed since this system was implemented. It seems like they had a different team for every combat system.
The best times I had were before the New Game Experience because a lot people i was friendly with stopped. The game just got worse and should have been shut down years ago, I hoped it would get shutdown but it seemed like it never would. Free name changes ruined the identity of people in the game and giving free server transfers ruined the little amount of community that was left who had been there for a long time. Though it seemed like most people who were there believed the game would grow or eventually have "pre cu" servers, but a lot of the people there are really full of themselves.
Maybe the game would have worked out if people had given it a chance or if the developers had gradually made changes to the game to make it become the Combat Upgrade.
I played a lot of MW2 and Black Ops but never bought any of the map packs for three reasons. One: The always seem to be crap compared to the original maps. Two: They are way overpriced. Three: PC players used to get them for free!
All you guys will just be like those people who signed the petition on Steam to protest non-dedicated servers for Modern Warfare 2, but they still end up playing it a few days after it comes out.
Seems like you're just as bad as the people who buy Call of Duty games anyway, you're either jumping on the bandwagon of boycotting Call of Duty or you're buying it along with the masses.
Call of duty has been the same for a long, long time. Some small additions to the game gets commended as pioneering, when all they really did was get the ideas from other games. Call of Duty 4 was essentially a mod for Call of Duty 2 anyway, as all that really went on was weapon attachments and perks, everything else was interchangable.
