Good thing SONY has faith in this..BECAUSE its not worth even puttin on a SEGA MACHINE!!!
FANS for close to 5 years have put up with changes.. this (change as they call it) drove off communities of MMO friends of years of devotion.. in over 10 servers Nation wide. This change altered the idea of living and forming individuals in multiple worlds of a Star Wars Universe to playing a STAR WARSY replication of Lucas Arts Movies.
Devoted subscriblers were not asked, they were jolted with hidden agendas over one year ago and constantly decieved of those agendas with promises of upcoming ideas, such was the case with the expansion that resulted in refunds. The complete change was disasterous resulting in many long time devoted SWG fans (having multiple accounts) boycotting and quitting the game.Many communities has made deals with such competitors such as WOW to keep in touch with thier long time friends.
As for in the game, servers are more bare then ever, Long time communites are abandoned, More bugs and glitches are seen then now then within 2 years, Game Economics that took years to be realistic and stable are now completely off set once again making the worlds for new comers more then just difficult to deal with.
The forumns of SWG use to be the place where long time fans would make guides for new comers, now its the place where long time fans scream of their unhappiness and anger to SONY and Lucas Arts.
If you have any doubt about the validity of this review.. Check SWG forumns.. and dare say.. try the free trial and ask the left over players with ELDER under their name what they think. The truth is there in the forumns where many people still meet who do not play inside the game..
