Where are u now in SW:G?

It's fascinating to look back at these boards now. I was caught up in the SWG hoopla soon after the game was first announced, following what was going on on the official boards but mainly relying on BBS for the inside story. Having never played an MMORPG before, this was going to be the one for me.

Then I participated in Beta 3.

It was new and different and really interesting at first. Sure little creatures kept killing me and I didn't have many credits, but I could walk around Tatooine and see jawas and so on.

But it wasn't much fun. There was something for everyone but nothing for me, the casual gamer with an interest in Star Wars.

So I didn't sign up for the main game. I watched as people began playing and the first week of disaster with a steady increase in the player base.

Now it seems that the gloss has worn off the game. The promised Space Expansion is the new hope, and a 14 day free trial might get things moving, although only in the short term.

I've since played in the Lineage II beta - that was fun - and am enjoying my first MMORPG that I'll be paying for, City of Heroes. There's no PvP, no crafting and the concept is very simple. But it's a hell of a lot of fun which puts it ahead of SWG.

Hope everyone is enjoying their SWG experience and I'm surprised this board has been so quiet of late. It used to be much noisier.
