Never heard of the guild, but no reason I would have. Many have made some good constructive comments.
As to the OP question, I assume its largely as they were a PVP focussed guild and this is not a PVP focussed game.
I do also have my concerns about it though. I cant really put my finger on it. I have a L50 healer but when I hit 50, I struggled to get into any further content so I levelled a tank. She is now L43. I logged in today, my first time since 1.2 came due to being away. I was looking forward to it but now sit here disappointed. I thought Id do my legacy and then find I need to log in to each character individually to do this. Just seems a very clunky way to handle it. No big deal though.
I then notice the pop on Voss was 12. 12 people in a whole zone while levelling. That ruled the Heroics out. My guild is quiet now, only 3 people online including me.
dont get me wrong, I like some of the things 1.2 has brought. UI tweaks are nice for example. But these cosmetic changes havent tackled the bigger issues I feel. Population balance, the place should feel populated. Its a MMO not a MMMO (marginally massive multiplayer) but it feels deserted, while levelling at least.
Then yes it is linear. But you know that gave it a fantastic levelling experience. I would have liked more choice in the route I took and not to feel it was laid out in front of me so obviously. In a way, it is as if you have a story to play through but once that is done, thats it for you.
I do have a Sith now and the different content is making it a little fresher for me but I really am starting to fade. Its almost like I hoped it would be SWG again but alas not.
I'm not giving up my sub, Im just clinging on to the hope that EA are as passionate about the game as some of the player base are. If it is just "another game" to them and will be cut off unless it is in the black, then sadly I fear for it.
With things like GW2 coming and then another WoW expansion on the horizon, they really need to create some hooks to keep people here. My fingers are crossed.
