I played SWG shortly after it was introduced. What a fabulous game! The way the game has been systematically destroyed is amazing. The infamous CU was the beginning of the end. I guess the thing that annoyed me the most was the CSR attitude "We don't have time for you, I'll give you an answer that has nothing to do with your problem" and that was in place from the getgo. To tell a customer that they were only allowed to report one issue at a time and provide no feedback on bug reporting clearly states to me that they really don't care about those that pay them. I can remember going to Coronet prior to a hunting venture and waiting around for a buff. This wasn't wasted time to me (it probably was to some), but a time to meet friends and enjoy the chat. Decay made the game go around - crafting was a big portion of the game. I quit for a few months and came back shortly just to see if I could still get some enjoyment out of it. Unbelievable, no players...only lag, ghost towns and boredom. When I cancelled my subscription, but still had time left on the game, I went to their forum to vent my disappointment but couldn't post since I had no active subscription. Only another way of saying that they don't care.
Well, after looking around and giving Wow a brief try (a good game and responsibly run...just didn't care for the huge emphasis on large group runs to get any decent loot...something most would like I think), I guess I'll try Eve OnLine - it seems that they do care and have a wide variety of activities. I'll miss those early SWG days though. That was one fine game, even the onscreen waypoint monitor didn't continually disappear.

i've heard good things about eve online, hope you have fun there :)
but yes, the swg csr's are little more than forum fascists at the moment, maybe thats why they have so little time or experience in actually helping people :D

Just wondering, is there a free demo for Eve out there?
yes there is, you have to download it though i think... i do have to say though, its a difficult game to get into, very very steep learning curve, but, its totaly open-ended, you can be or do whatever you want, from an asteriod miner (which is a lot more complicated than it sounds), to combat, which is definitely complicated, and to trading, crafting, and .... well theres lots to be honest, most people pick mining to begin with because its easy money, but you can make a lot by doing missions too, which will gain you social with whatever corp your working for, npc corp that is, you really do want to get into a player corp as soon as you can, because they'll buy you skills most of the time, and get you your first cruiser etc, besides, when you first start, that steep learning curve is a bit of a pain to get through without help.
hehe, i had a master miner in eve, currently inactive, but every now and then, i reactivate, complete with tempest battlecruiser, which i used for mining.. which might sound a bit strange but the pirates tend to attack you when your mining so you need to be able to kill them.
any questions about eve i can probably help you with, but, i havent played for a while, so there have probably been some changes, the game is still evolving.

Thanks gang - SOE doesn't listen, but you made me feel better! Yes, there is a free download and 14 day trial period for Eve, I'm using it now. It's complicated, but interesting as Hell (the way SWG was back when they had some game content). One interesting thing - everyone is on the same server (well over 100k people signed up) and haven't seen any lag OR A BUG! Look up Reggie Ringo, still weak and almost broke, but willing to help a newbie anytime.
Regg mate what server you on i'm downloading the game now
