anyway , i like to have 1 character not more because this is how i play. and currently swtor offers so little end game content that id rather be here on the forums than actually playing the game. this is how swtors real entertainment value is
no it most certanly did not have 600k subs 6 months after launch. It it's peak maybe but not that far.

There is a reason they did the CU and NGE in the first place it was because subscribers where really really low

Then you also have the mass banning

yeah i was exaggerating. but if SWG come out right now again with better graphics and such then swtor no doubt would lose enough subs to die out.

the point of this thread isnt to say swg was a better game because thats like comparing apples to oranges. the point is that if SWTOR implemented many of the really good features SWG had it would only greatly benefit

You need to take the time to look over a lot of your ideas and think them out.

I pretty much stopped reading when you suggested that Jedi should be overpowered. Yeah, no. That's a terrible idea. Totally different Star Wars eras too, Old Republic had lots of jedi while Galactic Civil War had very very few.

Bioware made no secrets about this not being a KOTOR 3 and not being a SWG2.. If you don't like the game the wat it is, then perhaps your money would be better spent else where..

There is nothing wrong with making suggestions.. We have all made our share.. But let's not ask for stuff that would fundementally change this game.. This game is not sandbox.. It is themepark.. That isn't to say that can't add some sandbox elements.. But we need to keep them within reason..

Anyway.. The choice is yours.. Sorry you are not enjoying this game.. My wife and I are having a blast.. We are in a great guild with great people.. I would hate see that ruined..
In saying that though.. how is it fair for us who do like & love SWG for us to have lost our game for a WoW clone. How about you go to that & we get our game back? Hell sounds good to me.

absolutely not. I'm not sure you are remembering SWG how it was. SWG is a game that could never survive in todays market.

Yes it was a giant sandbox and that was it's only real saving grace however. People want content given to them and not forced to make their own content.

Here watch this. this is a video of the mission terminals. This is how you got quests for SWG. This was it

EVERY MISSION WAS THE SAME! The only difference was in what you killed.

lets talk about Armor and custimization which is another HUGE thing that MMO players like

Here is a list of the armor that was in SWG up until The Trials of Obi Wan ie the CU upgrade and NGE

http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Chitin_armor
http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Bounty_Hunter_armor
http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Composite_armor
http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Mandalorian_armor
http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Kashyyykian_Hunting_armor
http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Stormtrooper_armor
http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Bone_armor
http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Padded_armor
http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Tantel_armor
http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Ubese_armor
http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Kashyyykia...Mountain_armor
http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Kashyyykian_Ceremonial_armor
http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Rebel_Marine_armor

THAT IS IT. Nothing else.

Lets talk about basic features.

Group finder? NO GROUP FINDER IN SWG

PVP Warzones? NOPE.

Balance? Absoultely not. SWG was one of the most UNBALACED games ever. A Combat medic was one of the most deadlist classes as it could kill anyone in 2 shots by attacking their mind points.
