I cant understand anyone who says good riddance to SWG, no-one forced you to play it. Bit like saying I hate cars, therefore noone should be allowed one.
It continues to be the best ever MMO as far as non-combat gameplay is concerned. The crafting mechanics in SWG were second to none. The entertainer profession, space content and the player housing were all great fun and unique. OK, the combat and graphics were a bit dated.
Maybe the crafting was too complicated for some, and thats why they didn't like it.
