  1. I knew as soon as BW started selling credits...*ahem*.... I mean cartel packs that the economy would hyper-inflate. Making all Cartel items bound to you would have stopped the problem.
  2. I just count this as another EAWare screw up, doubt we'll ever get those coins.
  3. Poster was letting you know to post elsewhere to get more help, many times in-game questions go unanswered here, don't blame him/her because you don't know where to post.
  4. I usually don't respond to naïve and uneducated hyperbole when I see it but when it's about something near and dear to me..... It was ground breaking, in fact it was at one time the most populated MMO on earth with 300k+ subs, now with all signs point to you being a wowbaby I know that doesn't sound like much but do try and keep up champ.... You see in 2003 broadband internet was a rarity for most of us, only available in large cities and some of their suburbs, to have hundreds of thousands of players was a monumental achievement back in the stone age of connection speeds. Adding to that the fact that an off the shelf PC couldn't handle SWG and a gaming rig was required (I know, I built my 1st PC for SWG) and it only makes its sub numbers even more impressive. Then came a perfect storm, broadband branched out by2-3 years later available in so many more areas, and a popular RTS (yes champ, Warcraft was an RTS way back when) became an MMO that could run on your grandmothers E-Machines computer from Wal-Mart. everyone that longed to play an MMO but didn't have access suddenly had one built for them....and truth be told it was pretty good. Blizz was always the masters of standing on the shoulders of others. Then along came a spider, a slinky ginger bastard born in the pits of corporate slime, his name....John Smedley. He wanted to catch some of that lightning from the storm in his bottle too, but it was already gone. Instead of fixing and improving one of the most unique and complex MMO's ever conceived he tried to copy / paste WoW over the picked bones of SWG to a disasterous outcome. The WoW kids already had their game and our game which required more than just some hotbar smashing and pointing and clicking, was now some bastard ginger child you kept under the stairs....kinda like Smed himself. No SWG didn't suck, it wasn't a failure, it was mismanaged and too far ahead of it's time and too complex for the drooling masses. Which I can surmise is why you didn't like it.

  5. Thinking Balmora / Taris would never end. Also remember getting all giddy when I saw the 1st armor with a cape I could get on my SW from the Tattooine com vendor.
  6. Considering he's already played a young Harrison Ford in a major motion picture, "Age of Adeline", cited Ford and his iconic roles as his reason for becoming an actor and received praise from Ford, I think he'd nail it.
  7. Still have some screenies of the last few years of the game in my old Photobucket account and a bunch of old Meme's I used to troll the forums with....god I miss those forums as much as the game. RIP Bria server, we once were Kings. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/bmurr691/screenShot0006.jpg http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/bmurr691/screenShot0004.jpg http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/bmurr691/screenShot0030.jpg
  8. The fact that Anthony Ingruber isn't even being considered is a blunder by Disney, he could be Ford's grandson and his imitation of Solo, Dekard and Indy in these Youtube video's is spot on. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3452021/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t30
  9. Carrie (Liea) Fisher did all that to herself with substance abuse, shame really, up until the late 90's she was a lovely woman (see. Austin Powers).
  10. Wouldn't that be considered a Threesome? I shudder to think what Khem's Bits look like.....I'd imagine a Narwhal's......oh great now I AM imagining it.....
  11. You can preview an armor and a dye if you preview the armor 1st and don't close the window.
  12. He said the parents weren't "FEATURED" in episode 7....... Just accept that she's a Skywalker now so you can get used to the idea and don't try to burn the theater down with the force when you see Episode 8.
  13. But see, that's always going to be the problem with MMO's, players want new games to launch with years and years of content right out of the gate. *EDIT* Day 1 / 2nd wave vet here Op, welcome aboard....unless your a pub.....
  14. Your right and you've convinced me, i'll play the game the way you want me too. In fact everyone should since youre more enlightened than the rest of us and know what we should be doing. But if you want to know where these "cartoonish mustache twirling" impulses come from.....go back to Korriban and listen to the teachers there, what with their nonchalant penache for inhumane and brutal torture or their constant drumming about Sith being the ultimate master beings in the galaxy to wich all others are inferior and insignifigant and how thy have no other role than to serve the Sith. When you see others as no more than objectified tools to use as you see fit, you don't have any qualms about choking the life from them. On a side note I play my SI very pragmatically mainly because of the background of the SI rising from slavery.....my SW on the other hand was a prodigy of the darkside from birth and has been indoctrinated his whole life to believe as stated above so yes....he kicks kittens if they get in his way and he slaughters anyone that looks at him cross....because he can.
