Message: Emoticon Listing HTML Help	[quote]Hello to all of the original peeps. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back from 4 years ago. Just dropped by to see if anyone was alive. I see some of you come back from time to time. Cap, what may have killed SWG was time. I had none and when I did SWG was too repetitive for me. It required too much time to do anything fun--too much grind and not enough fun. SWG started in the wrong time frame also. It should have started after RotJ. Then having Jedi and Dark Jedi from the beginning would have been no problem for those who are concerned with continuity issues. This would have also given the Devs more freedom to be more creative with out stepping on the toes of the any movie. Back in December I quit SWG for a while. Then started up a few months later and played on my wife's galaxy this time hoping that playing with her and diving into PvP would rekindle my enthusiasm for SWG. The same problems were still there. Weak PvP, little content, way too much grind. Combine that with a shrinking amount of time to dedicate to SWG finally killed it for me. We sold the account about a month and a half ago. I think that I was looking for something that gave me the same feelings of excitement and community as UO did for me. But I came to realize that I spent much more time playing UO, about 8-10 hours every day. Those days are gone. MMORPGs are just not made for the casual player. And I am a casual player now. Guild Wars may be the only thing close to a MMORPG I will play again. And I'll play Star Wars Battlefront for a Star Wars fix. I hope all of you had fun with SWG and I won’t forget this board. Good people in here. Keaggan [/quote]

Hello to all of the original peeps. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back from 4 years ago. Just dropped by to see if anyone was alive. I see some of you come back from time to time.

Cap, what may have killed SWG was time. I had none and when I did SWG was too repetitive for me. It required too much time to do anything fun--too much grind and not enough fun. SWG started in the wrong time frame also. It should have started after RotJ.

This would have also given the Devs more freedom to be more creative with out stepping on the toes of the any movie.
