This game had so much potential but over all i think jedi ruined it along with the total unbalance of some of the classes. The game was half assed from the start and never got any better. I like playing the people behind the scenes like commandos/bounty hunter/smugglers instead of having to be a light saber swinging fool. Actually i did wanna be a jedi but that was when i thought jedi were gonna be a very secret random kinda of thing, Oh i remember all the theories going around especially the hero badge junk. I remember when it first came out and i led groups of 20s all the way to a tusken camp by jabbas caves. Going to the cantina and dueling people outside.
I wish some one would make a new game from scratch and bring out a respectable SWMMOG.

The ability to become jedi was a major failing of the original design of the game I agree. There were other things that I thought were failings also, but Jedi was the worst design decision they made all those years ago. Granted I had a Jedi back when it meant something, but I still felt dirty about it. Especially now that the game is destroyed.
No matter how many things I think of that needed tweaking I still believe that SWG was the best game on the market back in the day. Now it seems as if everyone is trying to copy WoW, which is just a copy of most other games on the market. Blizzard didn't create an amazing game that is dominating the market, they created an ok game with a viral effect and that is dominating the market. It's like AOL was years ago, the service sucked but everyone joined because everyone else had it.

I don't miss THIS game.
I miss SWG1.
I know many others that do also.
We're all bored of WoW now, please provide us with some classic servers (and you know darn well what I mean by 'classic') and we'll begrudgingly boost your subscriber ratings.
