I had 3 accounts on SWG and played for a good few years. My main alt was Ky'ra of the guild NSA based on Lok, my Master Creature Handler. I had a Master Doctor, Master Rifleman, Master Image Designer, Master Dancer ... that was until Sony totally nerfed the game beyond all recognition and destroyed the best thing on this planet.

I hung on in a very miserable state until January 19th last year, when I took the final heartbreaking decision to cancel all my accounts. I spent a short time in the wilderness trying to find something else - tried and gave up on WoW and EQ, finally settling on Guild Wars because it is free so it doesn't matter if I don't play it much. I really liked it and still play it, but decided to give DAoC another chance - I'd first played it for a very brief time just after it came out of Beta.

I discovered a new meaning to life (yes - I am very sad!!!) not only in a game that I could again become engrossed in but also in the fact that I discovered a lot of old NSA guildies were playing too! I won't be going anywhere near SWG unless it rolls back to pre-combat upgrade of late 2005 - but I can't see that happening somehow.

Sony should have done what Mythic did with DAoC - they haven't forced everyone to upgrade to the latest release. When a major expansion is released, you can choose to keep the old game as a separate file on your pc, install the upgraded expansion in a new directory, and choose which version to log into to. credit where it's due - that was a great idea.

Ramblings over - cy'all again soon!

Agrivia - Thane, Alchemist
Cedwen - Healer
Ceirian - Shaman
Aeeair - Valkyrie
Midgem - Shadowblade
etc ... etc ... etc ...

I always thought the only difference there Midgem was the interface?

I recently renewed my SWG account again.. The population levels have definately increased, infact i visited a packed cantina yesterday, but i can't say it's as fun as it used to be.

BountyHunting was always my thing, these days it's much harder as it's nolonger Jedi specific, which might sound like a plus, but bounties are placed by players on players which kill them in pvp. Again, that might sound rather interesting.. but this also means your targets are going to be in PVP zones most likely.. what does this mean? It means that you're going to have to pick a faction .. and venture out into a war zone to try and kill your target. That, and your targets probably got a group.

Atleast they put player BHing back in, it's just not what it used to be though. That and the massive inflation at the moment, i think as a result of SOE removing decay.
