I left SWG about a year ago, waiting for the Bounty Hunter to be fixed so that a ranged BH would have a realistic chance versus Jedi. I guess the "fix" was to no longer let BH's hunt Jedi... 
Wow, you missed the whole CU. Probably a month or 2 after you left we had the Combat Upgrade.... game was still strategy/turnbased, but plenty of changed, actualy made the game more involved as far as counteracting your opponent and finding a winning tactic (instead of mashing the "I win" button / maco).
As a MBH / MPist / Carb 0440 I took out my fair share of Jedi, including Knights and even a guardian. Then the NGE hit...... and Jedi suck. They are currently the worst combat proffession, followed only by non combatants.

I too left SWG. I personally cancelled my account after the CU. I'd even gotten a jedi some months ago and was getting to the point where he wasn't a weak baby jedi anymore. I logged in the day after the CU to find all the old bugs still there, and hundreds of new ones. It was awful.
If SOE had treated their customers right, not focused on deadlines, and not fired the dev team every few months to hire new guys, expanded on the unique features (JTL, highly advanced and unique crafting system, 'social' professions, non-class|level based character development) it would have been the greatest game in the world. But, alas, they did all the wrong stuff- and now all they're left with is a dying husk of a game not even worth playing.
A moment of silence for what SWG could have been.

Funny that. One of the reasons I quit after the CU was BH changes. I wasn't a Jedi -- far from it. But I saw virtually everyone running around with BH in their template, which was discouraging. There were more FoTM templates -- in my experience -- after the CU than before. Of course, the main reason I quit was being forced from a hybrid into a pure combat toon -- and then finding it pointless to solo or even play in a group of two or three (my preferred playstyle in Galaxies).
I was Master Rifles/Master Pistols after the CU respec, and it sucked. This was back when wind-up specials failed half the time for no apparent reason, so I'd get ganked when sniper shot failed to go off, etc. Between the constant frustration of windups not going off and the fact that -- partnered up with my best friend -- we were getting XP at a miserly rate compared to full groups, I up and quit. I'm all for group bonuses, but it's a bit out of whack for a group of 8 to be pulling down 8 to 10 times more XP per second than a group of two.
Oh, I hated the icons, the lack of a combat queue, and most of all the stupid particle effects.
SOE has the worst QA department I've ever seen -- has to be a managerial problem, you don't get that many crappy coders and testers on accident -- and they apparently fired all their game designers right before launch.
I've been watching the NGE trainwreck, and it's become apparent that at no point in the last 12 months has SWG developers made even a token attempt to determine how changes would impact the design.
I think the best example is the CU-level/damage multiplier/XP system. The problems with grinding a second profession should have been apparent in the design phase -- but it wasn't caught until test. At that point, they changed the bulk of weapon certs from skill boxes to character level, which then broke what little design they'd done in a number of ways.
I won't even get into what they did with crafters and entertainers. It's become pretty obvious that if you weren't there for combat, SOE doesn't want you there. Those NGE "traders" are all masochists. They have no role in the game, and SOE wants them to reroll to combat toons or quit. They just haven't gotten the message.

Yup, its clear that they don't really care about the traders and entertainers.
Interestingly enough, they are the only two classes without guides posted. Unsurprising that, seeing how as they have nor real point or purpose!

Hello,
First message to this forums :)
Im from SWG aswell, only had one account, but it wasnt worth it anymore (NGE, all friends gone, lack of communication, bugs bugs bugs, crafters worthless, all items worthless.. well, everything became worthless actually).
My character was Regen Ednolb on Eclipse server.
Have been playing EVE for a month now, and still a complete newbie.. but I like it!
(Still fun to read the swg-forums btw...)

From swg also, Monkers/Monkerz on the Eclipse server. I have been scratching around trying to find a replacement since the NGE totally destroyed my pre nine Jedi ... on day nine of my trial and slowly getting to grips with Eve :)
One thing that stands out here is how helpful the community is, and the main reason why I am thinking of subscribing after the trial.

Oh, and welcome to EVE.  As for "peaceful", it depends on where you're at - some places make the fighting in SWG look like a stoll on the beach.

I was feeling a little burnt out in EVE and re-activated my SWG account shortly before the NGE hit. I played for about a year before the CURB (left before it)...
I made sure not to pre-judge the NGE, so as to review it with as open a mind as possible. My fair and balanced opinion, after a couple of weeks of trying, is that it sucks. Completely and totally. SWG has lost everything that interested me in the first place. Skill based gameplay, unique characters (well...), excellent crafting system, fun (if item based)PvP. All gone. It feels like I'm paying to beta test a new game and nobody is supplying any lube.
I told myself that I would give the game 6 weeks or so (that was when my EVE account was to close) before deciding on the status of my account. I didn't last that long. It's been out some 3 weeks (?) now and if anything it's worse than before (exp gain has been nerfed even more).
I don't regret taking a break from EVE (taking regular breaks in UO keep me playing for 6 years). If anything, this 'New Game Experience' in SWG has convinced me that, while the grass may always appear greener on the other side, EVE does indeed rule the roost.
I have never seen such a huge exodus from a game in such a short period of time before. Before the CURB the Starsider server was reasonably well populated, the major towns complete lag fests. Now they're practically empty. The same can be said of Chilastra (sp?).
I have to question the long term future of SWG under SOE. It will be interesting to see where things are in a years time.

Me too:
Elistrahe: Wanderhome Master ID/Master Dancer
Deim: Naritus Master of lots of stuff (17 professions I think)
Tikka: Naritus Master Smuggler/DE/Doc
A few others too. But thats ok, theres a bunch of rich noobs running around SWG right now, happily spending the cash I handed out recently on vehicle customization kits and pretty sparkly things.

Sorry to hear about your mistreatment by SOE but know now that you're with people that care. 
Good luck and always ask questions if you need help.
