Well **** why dont they just go ahead and tell us how the game plays out for the next 3 years ruin the story and while their at it maybe they can release a secret film behind the scenes of episode 7, and find out the plot line for Episode 8 and 9. and tell us that SWG 2 is being made, while also making it publicly known that KOTOR is coming back.

Im sure BioWare is just fine in the upcoming content department. According to this article ( http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/07/18/report-swtor-fourth-biggest-sub-mmo-elder-scrolls-has-over-770/# ) SWTOR is 4th right now in paid MMO's behind WoW, Lineage, and Tera. I highly doubt they are going to stop making content for a game that high up in the money making bracket. In the last year they made $165 million, now while the article doesnt say what percentage is from Subscribers and what percentage is from Cartel Market purchases (curious to know that figure) it does show why every server as of late is either Heavy or Standard during the hours of normal population in the NA / EU regions. Patience young padawan, your not a Jedi Knight yet. Your adventure is coming.

One more thing, if no one is interested in "SPACE" please explain to me why JTL was the most well recieved SWG expansion. GSF was the most eagerly awaited expansion for SWTOR. PEOPLE WANT SPACE in STAR WARS. regardless of how much time in the movies was spent in space, bottom line every kid that watched star wars grew up wanting 2 things to be a jedi and to blow up the Deathstar, Be Han Solo and Fly teh Falcon no matter how you sliced it flying was always part of STAR WARS.

I'll leave this thread with this question because you can defend this game all you want but the inevitable truth is what happens when you make 1 of each class (including advanced class, total 16 characters at level 55) what happens when you have full raid gear on all of them, your house is 100% unlocked and fully decorated, you have finished unlocking every part in GSF for every ship, and you have maxed out your tradeskills to 450. You can only re-run the same ops/fp/warzones soooo many times before you start to get bored. so why is it so bad to ask for 1 bit of content that is ever changing ever engaging and will never get old? side note. Im not asking for space exploration not sure where that got thrown in the mix, what i was asking for was engaging space PVE/PVP content without time limits or instances or missions just the ability to get in your ship, launch into open space and shoot at NPC ships or flag for PVP and engage in open world PVP in space. if i wanted to explore i would just fly planet to planet, or go play STO, thats not what im after. another thing crossed my mind, space would have to be multi-faction like warzones of some sort, otherwise you would launch into space and PVP against your own faction. But it would be great to have that in game just to be able to fly around not on rails but with GSF type open controls and shoot at NPC ships for upgrades and parts with the option to flag for PVP combat much like we have with the current PVP character flag.

i read through 4 pages of responses and the general con-census is exactly as i thought it would be, if i sort out the "lol swg was bad, and you need to let go" obvious troll posts i see a recurring theme. 1. most of you are under the impression that space had NOTHING to do with star wars, but then again i also assume that almost every story line was not about trying to stop a huge SPACE station from destroying a planet. infact it worked so well they did it twice in 3 movies. and the entire prequel trilogy was about the secret construction of DS1 and the Emperors ability to manipulate everyone around him into making it legal. SPACE played a MAJOR role in STAR WARS. what we have here with GSF (which on average gives you 5minute blips of content) or the "Sky battles" which i think everyone can agree were HORRIBLE. Is not SPACE. 2. The ENGINE debate or discussion, while i do find it completely humorous that you can make fun of SWG but then turn around and try to tell me a NEW engine cant do what a at this point 12 year old game DID just makes me laugh like hell. If the engine is sooo bad then why dont they just shut down and start over cause if thats the case this game is doomed by lack of ability to expand already. 3. SOE being horrible and the reason SWG shut down. Not much more to say on this subject other than you are severely misinformed and prolly 12 years old. SWG was FORCED to shut down due to a non compete agreement that was FORCED when EA acquired BIOWARE and the rights to SWTOR. The renewal for SWG could not happen because they were no longer able to get the rights to the star wars copyright. therefore SWTOR became the only option if you wanted to play a star wars branded "MMO" 4. MMO vs Linear story, Sure while this game may be branded as a massive multiplayer online game (MMO) the reality is that this is more a RPG with online content. if you have any doubt in that you have never played any MMO. the argument that an open space area without time restrictions would be "SANDBOX" and change the entire game is dumb. EverQuest 2, PlanetSide, Aion, Tera, World of WarCraft, hell even DIABLO 3 allow some sort of freedom in the ability to enjoy content. dont believe me? please try to explain to me why D3 has one of the highest replay ratings in the industry and dont just say because Blizzard made it. 4. Its not just SPACE, there is a lot about this game that can take an average player or newcomer and drive them away in a hurry. ill try to be short here since this post is getting long. -Lack of Craftable items and abilty to only make a trader/crafting toon, (to be efficient in crafting you have to complete your class and have 5 companions and then level all tradeskills to 450) -Restrictions on EVERYTHING! Want to give your buddy or alt that cool new item you looted nope BOUND, BINDS ON EQUIP, BOUND ON PICK-UP these are things THAT KILL ECONOMY and ruin MMO games. -Lack of housing freedom. I know I know. it was just addedd to game last week, but seriously HOOK System? how old is this game? you might make fun of SWG and EQ2 and almost every other MMO but fact is there are games that are 10-12 year OLDER than SWTOR running on WAY OUTDATED engines that are capable of doing more then i believe SWTOR will ever BE -PAY Real Money for everything! This is a game killer hands down, i understand charging Free to play players for things like Character customization but its kinda dumb i cant change my hair color, or haircut, or anything aboiut any of my characters without paying out of pocket in RL to do it. Sure we get 500 cartel coins a month which is great if you don't want to unlock anything else or take part in anything in game. In my opinion everything about the Cartel Market has killed this game including the reputation. its unfair that a player is forced to spend more money to build reputation with certain vendor to be able to buy items that arent available else where. this would be less of an issue is the Binds on pick-up RESTRICTIONS WERE LIFTED FROM ALMOST EVERY SINGLE ITEM SOLD. this is just a few things. there are more and im sure if you stop lying to yourselves and accepting a mediocre game BIO-WARE will stop allowing this crap to push away players. Sure SWG wasn't perfect no game is for everyone. But if SOE had listened to their players all those years ago, I might still be playing that instead of sitting here watch SWTOR go down the same self destructive route i watched SWG go down but this time i chose to speak up instead of watching idly by while it killed itself.

Where is SPACE? where is the black void with stars and galaxies spinning off in the distance? I know im going to catch grief for this but im saying it anyway. Where is SPACE. When SWTOR was announced players feared it would shut down SWG, after being lied to and told it wouldn't "both games can co-exist, and we dont see any reason they shouldnt" SWG was forced to close later that year taking with it one of the most immersive SPACE games i have ever played second to EVE Online. GSF is fine for the casual player that likes mini games and Sky battles ( I refuse to call them space as you can literally see the ground in many of them) is just horrible space on rails. No what I want and im sure the one that read this and arent just trolling will agree with me is SPACE. Now what do i mean, we have GSF right.....No. When i say space i don't mean a timed instance, or space on rails, or a forced POV. I mean get in my ship launch into space and shoot at stuff, loot weapons and credits, make space parts Craftable, make them tradeable, NO SPACE PARTS ON Cartel Market unless cosmetic only, Give parts Unique stats, and features, allow them to be re-enginnered and combined. Anyone that played or ever watched SWG space content knows what im talking about. Im talking about loading a full group into a gunship going to void of space and open world PVPing via a PVP flag, im talking about taking off in your ship and only ever landing to sell loot or buy missiles. Please Bioware/EA I have done what you forced me to do and left SWG, i came here and gave you my money for the last 2 (almost 3) years, PLEASE hear our pleas, you did good with housing (even if hooks are a bit to get used too and limit creativity) but please do not stop there, you dont have to be SWG but please use what they had in place and pay attention to what was good while sorting out the bad. SPACE was practically 2nd to NONE and for many players was the reason they played SWG I know i was one of them. PLEASE give us genuine space no more instanced battlezones no more space on rails, PLEASE

as far as i know you just had to be a subscriber, before yesterday, so you should be fine, i would say just log in and see

It is in select Imax 3D theaters, the 3d is damn impressive unles your comparing it to something that was visioned, shot and released in 3D, this is retrospective 3d and make the film much more realistic and immersive. People tht say they didnt notice have on their fanboi blinders finding any reason to complain about the PT

you Just Quoted the OP ******* seriously do you people even read before you replie or do you just start typing mindlessly, also no this was the first time since Xmas 2008 that ANY FILM grossed 20mil in an opening weekend, not ony did 1 film do it but 4 movies broke that record, on turn making it the highest grossing non holiday weekend for february ever.

I have often though about this time gap between 3 and 4 but what the hell would you call it, maybe the Dark Ages Saga, make it 3 movies showing the true rise of the empire, and the building o the first Death star. cause we got a good 20-25 years between end of ep3 and EP4 when look is like 25. and with that same time frame they made 1-2-3. from kid anakin to 20 something vader.

I love the people trying to tell themselves this movie is bad because it was 4th behind a romance movie a week before valentines day in February, You apparently didnt read the entire first part of the article which states that these 4 films are the first since 2008 to gross over 20m in the opening weekend, that means a 13 year old movie in it opening weekend made more then any movie til now since 2008. So chew on that for a bit. You saw it, I saw it, the whole WAH!!! It was bad argument is invalid you play an Old Republic MMO this game is bad MOVE ON!

Pretty sure the man asked why YOU dont like them, not for a link to some over dosing fanboi whose nerd rage could collapse a galaxy far far away

People will never give a reason why the prequels were bad, the best you'll ever get is.... Jar jar binks Kid anakin and they didnt live up to the OT My response to that would be Ewoks Lando and Technology changed from 1977 to 1999 I love all the movies and TBH im not afraid to admit EP1 is prlly my favorite because well Liam Fu**ing Neeson and POD RACING FORCE RUN! rebreather flash speeders PADME! Corusant I could go on

WAHHHH!!!!!!! NGE KILLED MY GAME WAHHHH!!!!!!!!! **** seriously, if you left SWG after the NGE you arent an SWG player and you dont belong here, SWG players gave 8 year of their lives, to guilds, heroics, pvp, space, crafting, entertaining, harvesting, brokering, and Roleplaying or among the other millions of things to do in that game. I always here people complain about the NGE ok we get it was a bad move, but you cant sit back and say SOE deserved to fail be cause people whined about something like a bunch of children. I played Pre-CU/nGE and Post NGE and you know what after a month or so of getting used to it i would never go back. NGE was fluid brought an updated feel to a game that previously was mediocre at best. 8 years people gave their lives and stand here saying if it was still round or brought back they would go in a second including me. There was no reason to close it in the first place and with the series in 3D re-releasing PEOPLE WANT TO PLAY A GAME BASED ON THAT ERA!! Galaxies and SWTOR could have coexisted so easily they are 100% different games with different goals. Anyway to the 8 year players from beta to the end I salute you, From the sands of Mos Eisley to the floating bridge in Dathomir we stood strong, Through battles on Yavin and Rori we remained vigilante, and when the Capitol ships came under attack we took to the are to defend our factions. 181st 501st against unrelenting rebel fighters we fought our war with pride. For the empire, For freedom!

I actually used this too my advantage as i took my 7 year old brother who luckily only had to get up once to get a drink, even though insisted he didn't want one before hand. Knowing which part i could miss helped when choosing when to go get said drink.
