But where is SWG today? Actually, things aren't so bad any more. Star Wars TodayДЄll of which paints rather a negative picture of what could have been a half decent MMO.

The bitterest pill of all was when the Combat Upgrade redefined the requirements needed to be a Jedi and many existing Padawan were dumped back to the ranks of mere mortals. Jedi particularly suffered after already having jumped through many tiresome and ill-defined hoops to unlock their Force powers. Many saw their characters made worthless. Badly handled on SOE's part, the like it or lump it' mentality drove away a fair proportion of the already dwindling audience, disillusioned with the lack of direction in the game. People had spoken for years about the tantalising concept of an online Star Wars game, but what no one had realised was that they'd meant playing X-Wing vs TIE Fighter with a group of mates, not playing EverQuest in Naboo.ДЇor most, the Combat Upgrade was the final straw. It was not watching progress bars slowly grow following repetitive actions and abstracted combat.

Had this been a generic, non-franchised sci-fi MMO title, SOE would have had a very decent little game on its hands But Star Wars fans being what they are (dedicated), there was no way SLVG could ever be the ultimate experience they were looking for. Throughout its existence we maintained that the only thing really wrong with Star Wars Galaxies was its association with Star Wars. Blind rage when the Combat Upgrade is finally released ahead of the rushed Rage Of The Wookiees Episode III tie-in and turns the game even further into EverQuest in Star Wars clothing and is a buggy mess with little thought for the needs of the players Final cancellation of subscription and eventual realisation that you could have been playing proper games all along. A sense of relief when the Combat Upgrade is announced with its stated goal of bringing the game's action closer to the 'true' experience of Star Wars rather than the current experience of being Everquest in Star Wars clothing. A few more months of grinding and debate about subscription cancellation. Unremitting exasperation as JTL turns out to be an unfocused experience.

Unremitting joy half a year later at the release of the Jump To Lightspeed add-on, finally bringing space travel and combat to the universe.

Or lightsabers.) Continual depression at the lack of Star IVors-ness and the everdeepening grind. Several months of dedicated skill grinding coupled with a growing sense that this isn't actually the all-encompassing Star Wars online experience dreamt about. Another fainting break once Mos Eisley loads up.
