NGE did ruin the game and yes i still played it, Why? because there was nothing else compared to it, and believe me i tried to have fun in other mmos but they were just crap.
Another reason is that there wasnt another Star wars mmo, and even now swg imo is still better then tor because of the sandbox environment.
But ill see what this f2p brings us, my coins are reserved for serial awesome super cool mega brilliant rad stuff.
