Star Wars Galaxies

Its up to 27 pages and counting.

I recall seeing similiar lists over at LOTR before launch, Vanguard, Roma Victor, and several others. Will we ever find a replacement for SWG pre-nge ?

Personally, I dont think Conan is the game to replace my love for SWG. If anything, it reminds me as all MMO's do of the things its missing (that made SWG great).

In Conan, you have these mirrored instances inside zones. For example, in SWG you walk into Coronet for some doc buffs. All the players currently online are physically there for you to see and mingle with. In Conan, not all the players will be there. You are loaded stealthily into a mirror zone of coronet. Once full, someone will load into another mirror zone of coronet. There might be 800 people in coronet but you'll only see an interact with 100 of em. The rest are in other instances inside Coronet. To me, thats not an MMO but rather just an MO (minus the Massive)

SWG with its giant seamless worlds with no instancing and loading screens has set a standard that no other MMO can seemingly match. I wont even get into crafting where resources have shifting stats or personal vendors or in-game housing, etc etc etc

In 3 days I will yet again launch myself into another MMO (or in this case, an MO). Ive spent another $50 on a game in the hopes that I can regain that thrill I once experienced with SWG. Odds are high though that I will soon find my way back here hoping to read some post about the new bioware - star wars mmo or even better, a post about the return of classic servers.

Wow..alota vets hoping AoC will deliver...  fucking $oE....

   I bet there are more people on that list than are currently online in SWG right now          

Don't expect any game in the next couple of years to re-place what many of us have lost, but AoC might be something to enjoy nevertheless. Cause the whole setup of AoC is completly different then what we know/knew from SWG (pre-cu), doesn't mean it can't be fun cause i'm sure many people will enjoy the game, perhaps even me as i pre-ordered AoC, but then again i buy almost any new mmo or game coming out if it look slightly intrested, i have yet to install LotrO special Edition that i also pre-ordered during beta but havn't installed the game or have played it beyond beta.

It amazes me to see how SWG vets always seek each other out in other games. It speaks to me of the great community and the incredible experience we shared.

29 pages of vets posting in one game forum that hasn't even gone live yet. It really makes you wonder how many vets are out there waiting.

SWG community is the only one that Ive seen doing this too. You dont see "ex EQ1 members looking for friends in - MMO. Probably because we are all without a home still.

2.5 years since the NGE debacle and the community is still reaching out to each other. How can no development team NOT see the demand for a sandbox MMO ?

It is NOT just AOC that had hundreds of former SWG veterans post on their forums. I beta tested Vanguard and was excited about the game UNTIL they said they were climbing into bed with $OE. That was the end of Vanguard for me and my nephew. Hundreds if not thousands of former SWG vets begged them not to ... but it was already a done deal.

And Vanguard lost 65 - 75 percent of their playerbase because of it.

I hope furture MMO developers listen to what the future will bring them should they also get into bed with $OE.

SWG was light years ahead of everyone else in the MMO industry.

For me at least i played SWG becuase of the people i played with not for the game (though it was ok),now as for AOC its not a game for me but if some people find a new home than that has to be good news.
