Heartbroken... sure its time came... and probably had something to do with how most of its members were leaving for TOR... but it nonetheless gave way to it being the first Star Wars MMO. Kind of a milestone there in the Star Wars franchise history. It had its ups and downs (Mostly downs.) but who doesn't miss running around in Tansarrii Station and doing quests for NPCs and eventually landing to Tatooine to pursue the Legacy line? ... Well, it's good to know SOE actually made a 'memory book' for it... albeit a bit stupid, but at least it'll bring memories of the game to fans like myself and others. Now it's up to TOR and CWA to continue the Star Wars MMO franchise...

Bleh, Clone Wars Adventures looks naff, not really an MMO as such. :S I played SWG for 6 years on and off, i came into it shortly after the CU and just before the NGE.

The game should have died with the horrid 'New Game Enhancements' but it somehow kept on, and once the dev team got some new members, things started getting better. I have to say, with the new quest lines, so many new items and new weapons and armour as well as the fun heroic quests and battlegrounds and stuff like atmospheric flight, they really pulled that game back together and showed what its potential really was. If only it had all come sooner!

Im going to miss running around the wilds of Tatooine, taking a holiday to go explore the Massassi Temple ruins on Yavin 4, putting a house down in a beautiful spot on Dantooine and especially decorating my house and several museums (one for art and archeology, one for science and industry and one for natural history!).

Farewell SWG you will be missed! frown

It is now up to SWTOR to take up the torch, and i have to say so far i am loving it, though it is more akin to KOTOR Online, rather than the truly unique sandbox MMO that SWG was.

I know some people hate Bioware and TOR for taking SWG away, but you have to remember, SWG would have to be shut down eventually, nothing lasts FOREVER. Its a shame the two games could not exist side by side, as SWG had years of life left in it yet. But considering the huge $100 Million EA and Bioware is meant to have spent on SWTOR you can understand their reluctance to have another Star Wars mmo keeping its players away from TOR.

Lets hope Bioware puts in some more sandbox features in future! You never know!

Of course there is always the Star Wars Galaxies Emulator Project... wink

Never really got into SWG. Dabbled with the trial, but it was far too big for 14 days! I did, however, get into the TOR beta which was overwhelmingly WoWish. It reminded me how Battlefield 3 (which I happen to like rather a lot) was hyped up to be the COD killer but it took so many little design features from its competition.

TOR plays a lot like WoW and I just can't get into that sort of thing. Age of Conan and DCUO are free and pretty darn fun. Among others, Star Trek Online is going F2P as well, so that's another game I'll play. I don't think I could ever justify paying monthly since I can't play one game that much.

Hopefully, the Star Wars game after TOR will be alright. There are plenty of gaps in the galactic timeline to fill and perhaps we will once again get that wonderful combo of gameplay and story.

Never played SWG...Haven't played TOR...

I might try TOR in a few years if/when I have money.

I'm pretty indifferent about SWG though.
