Ok , this will just end alot of questions for most.
ALL VETS or anyone that quit due to the NGE... I ask you to go IN GAME and see it for yourself... just do it.
Travel to all the cites, travel to all the hotspots, travel and see some of the people/Jedi (OMG the Jedi!!!)
I have just spent two hours on Bria taking screen shots and video --- OH YEAH VETS NEED TO SEE THE CURRENT STATE OF THE GAME PLEASE.
See, this is not a slam... THIS IS a fact now.
Use your trial and go see it..... You almost need to... just to answer your own questions.

my adventure around swg recently and who i saw
went in game (scylla server) and saw.....nobody
went to old guild town and saw....nobody
went to major naboo cities and saw....nobody
went to coronet and saw...nobody
checking poi's and vendor locations went there and saw....nobody
went to space and saw...nobody
in my time online, 3 hrs, i saw a couple people here and there, but they were only in starports and near some vending areas, player cities are ghost towns, major areas of commerce are ghost town.
Oh and btw, at some time they changed the civil war system and all of our faction ranks are gone and your now a private
I hate to rain on your parade, but the VETs left this game because the NGE changed SWG into a completely different game. And most of them have gotten to the point that they realize the game won't ever have classic servers on it, so they've moved on.The ones that do give it the ten day trial, see the empty servers and get a nasty reminder of why they left in the first place:They don't like the targeting system,they don't like how the best weapons are looted, don't like the 9 professions when there used to be 30, don't like Jedi as a starter profession after all the hours they spent grinding one,don't like the fact that group XP has been nerfed to nothingness, don't like the fact you can't mix and match professions to make your own character,don't like that everything can be soloed, miss the group interdependency etc.....
It's been a year and a half since the NGE hit, it's time to face the facts. The VETS are gone and they aren't coming back.It's best to just wish them well and hope that whatever they are playing they are enjoying it more.
Currently Playing: World of Warcraft
I have mando armor IRL. I run outside with it on with my 2 desert eagles when the kids around the neighborhood come out in their little league uniforms with their pellet guns.
I pwn them then have tea with their moms during work hrs.
Pwned this town.. yo.
I have a Bloodfin toon and WILL GO IN AND LOOK THERE -- Because from what I saw yesterday as it is sad to say Bria was unreal and pretty dead.
I mean it was just sad sad sad... Holy crap.... It was CREEPY sad... not just empty but creepy empty.
Canitas -- empty, Cities empty, Restuss is a joke and a waste of time and the only people there are shouting "Duelz me Im uber"... so yeah, the clients have changed... but still.
IT was DEAD... period plain and simple. If someone wants to show me different post it here I will meet you in game and you can show me -- ANY SERVER --!
I will look at bloodfin today, yesterday and seeing Bria like I did was just pathetic.

Already did it, I played since beta, left after NGE. Nothing different still same crapped on game when I left just MUCH LESS PEOPLE!
After 3hrs hours of game play I:
Change Classes 3 times each time solo'ing an giant ancient krayt (yah like I should be able to do that in ANY class)
spoke to hmmmmm wait lemme count, 1 PERSON!
saw approx..... wait lemme count.................................................3 people running around
did a /who on Naboo, list was about 8ppl, /who on Corronet got about 3 people, /who on tatooine got 8ppl.
Long gone is the "list is truncated" msg after doing a who. Heck it's not even CLOSE.
This is a dead issue.
I went in i saw i laughed....Its really sad the game has gotten so bad..I guess the NGE was a success? when at one time it was one of the best bugged games ever..No worries just go try it and see..No harm in seeing it for yourself in its current state..
