Hi,
I recently moved here from SWG and was wondering how many other made the switch after the NGE hit...
I was on Starsider and my IGN was...(surprise, surprise) Kefra.
Basically Eve offers everything that SWG lost and then some. In fact I wish pre NGE SWG should have been more like Eve.

Have been playing SWG since august 2003 but now I had enough of SOE's bad treatment of their customers. I don't mind the NGE combat style that much, but they also did away with a lot of that was still good in SWG (crafting and player economy and diversity of character development).

There's a load here, more coming every day. Welcome to EVE  .
P.S. Why did they have to use the abbreviation NGE? It makes me think that an anime series attacked SWG and killed it.

I am so very pleased to see that I have found the game I should have been playing for the last year or so.
Careful vets, some of these noobs may have teeth 
Thanks to the EVE community in general for giving me and all of the other SWG refugees such a warm welcome.

All this talk about the NGE thing is making me curious... Can any of you guys explain to me (or give me a link that explains it) in very "I have never played SWG" terms, what changed?

I can try to give you the short version, sure.
SWG was, at it's core, a turn based combat sytem in real time featuring a pretty open profession leveling system which allowed for skills to be dropped and new skills learned. Crafting and support classes, were at one time competent participants in combat, as it was possible to be, for example, a Master Weaponsmith (crafter), and a Master Rifleman (long range combat) and be able to make a very substantial contribution to guild hunts or PVP events.
Basically, there were enough skill point available to master two profession of your choice and enough to dabble into another field of your choice. The first change was the CU, which made the game level instead of skill based, which basically killed crafter hybrids, and doomed pure crafters and entertainers to a life without meaning outside of a crafting interface, and placed 100% emphasis on master two combat classes.
The latest change tried forcing a real time FPS style combat system on top of the old system, which has resulted in keeping every bug which plagued the old system and introduced a litany of new ones. The new change eliminated any and all diveristy between characters by pidgeon holing players into one, and only one profession, and condensing those choices from 32 down to 9. They went a step further and made what was originally end game content, "jedi" into a starting profession, so many that had spent years in attempting to progress towards the highest jedi ranks were now no more powerful or interesting to play than any basic starter profession. They eliminated all item decay or wear from use and/or death from the game, and further simplified and limited crafters while they were at it as well.
I did say I'd try to keep it brief, but thenm, you did ask for two years worth of agony too.

Wow. 
They did majorly bone crafters. And Jedi. And pretty much everybody who bought the game before the changes.
As for the length, it was quite fine for me. Of course, I'm the one who was curious, so I'd hope I'd want to hear it.
Thanks though. It's all clear now. Man, I feel for you dudes. Welcome to Eve.

Yeah, here and WOW would be where most of the servers will go. I played EVE shortly after release for about a year, then went to SWG. Now I'm back to the place where expansions don't cost $30 and the bugs are kept at a minimum by a dev team that actually cares.
Oh, I'm Van'cali from Eclipse among other full temp characters.

Yes, but what really mistifies me is how they can even think the 1992 Catle Wolfenstein feel is good.

Ya know, I hopped into SWG shortly after it was released, played for a good 6 months, took a break and came back to it just after the CU (Combat Upgrade). It was OK. Enough difference to make it fresh, I restarted a new char so I didn't have to mess with respec's.
But this latest NGE crap went way to far. See the main issue most people should have with this is the horribly deceptive crap SOE pulled on its base.
100's if not 1000's of players pre-ordered the "Trials of Obi-Wan" with the promises of new content for creature handlers and other professions. 1 day. 24hrs after the latest expansion went live, they made the NGE public.
With the NGE 100's of creature handlers were informed the profession would be going away.
That's just f'n evil.
I was prepared to give the NGE a try, see how it played out. But after SOE/LA shafted so many people I'd protest with my wallet.

So EVE is basically taking on everyone who dwells on game mechanics to the point that they are life shaping boundaries on our existence?
You'll fit right in.
May I recommend the Ship and Modules board?
Also, I've never played SWG, but didn't everybody hate the jedi anyhow?

Burned. I considered making a remark about their experiences with SWG being bad enough to make the S&M losers shut UP about the minor changes the devs do every so often, but I guess I was feeling nice.
GOOD JOB!

I've been playing even for nearly 2 months now, but I am from SWG. I didn't mind the NGE, but the lack of communication and the way they presented it, bugged the hell out of me. My account is now cancelled and I will focus all my time on EVE, perhaps that $15 bucks a month I am saving from SWG, I'll grab a second account here.

Somehow I think that you will find something here to make up for it.
After only a couple of days here I sense that this is a much better run mmorpg. I tried to logon at 12:00 Eve Time and the server was up and not loading.
Also the leveling system is actually quite smart from a business standpoint, but at the same time user friendly. I will not miss spinning lairs to level up.

Welcome to the next few years of your life .
EVE has, through superb customer care, a good dev team, a great concept, and the collapse of all other good MMORPGs, managed to become the best MMO out there

I am also a refugee from the NGE. I actually supported the NGE after playing it on the test center. I was pretty excited about the possibilities.
My problem is that when they applied it to my character I ended up having a pile of problems. Then I started playing and got stuck on a quest/mission where a NPC would not acknowledge I finished the mission. Support basically said I was on my own.
In the past when I got hung up on a bug I would go and do something else until they fixed it, but now that the character development is mostly one-dimentional you are really stuck if you cannot progress in your development.
The UI changes started to get to me too. The lack of right clicking seemed very dump. In the end I decided if I wanted a fast paced, FPS like Star Wars game I would just play Battlefront II.
I tried Eve over two years ago but quit for some reason, probably lack of time. I decided to give it another shot.
I was impressed to see they still had my account on file and I was able to pick up where I left off.
More than anything I like that I can be a casual player and still have fun. That was another reason why I liked SWG before the updates. I was a very casual player but now it feels so directed, feels less social and relaxed, so I decided to move on.
The chat system, eve radio, the web sites, all of these things make Eve nicely social. Combined with the ability to take a slow and easy pace to character development and still have fun makes this a great game for me.
I think the only thing I will really miss from SWG is the crazy things like the haunted house that I went through on Halloween and I will miss the fact that I will never be able to own a ship that is like the Falcon, although I am growing to love my new Badger.

I played SWG since launch (Veyon - Ahazi's FuBaR), left for a while to play other games, and came back to SWG recently only to witness everything die under the NGE. Now I've re-joined my husband in EVE and gotten my "I told you so" from him as well. [g]
Seeing SOE kill off all the Jedi was very sad. I know dozens of veteran players who immediately quit in disgust. The new Jedi aren't really Jedi. Pre-NGE it took effort, the mastery of multiple professions and some skill to be Jedi. And Bounty Hunter's had the ability to take Jedi missions against Jedi players. This greatly added to the realism of SWG and a feeling that Jedi were "hunted". Now everyone is handed a Jedi at the door, in a kit no less!
And SWG once had a decently complex crafting/harvesting system with a great variety of professions that could easily be hybridized. Now, with the NGE it's a dumbed down shadow of its former self, a game for the ADD set, with low-quality FPS "action" and no possibility of skill hybridization. Even if it were playable, the best players are all gone now. And clearly many are finding their way to EVE. Yey!

If you're anything like me (I hope not) you'll get a bit disenheartened (sp) after a while because the grind seems SOOOOO long. But don't give up (I'm not, for sure), instead, sit in station and train up for a week or two.
When I start getting bored on my char, that's what I'd do, only log in to change my trainings. It's really helped me keep the interest in EVE at absolute max.

I started playing EVE yesterday, all I can say is this is probably one of the most mature, friendly, and helpful group of gamers I have seen yet. I look forward to seeing where this goes, but don't yet understand very much... I'll get there though... and good to see so many of my SWG brothers and sisters.

NGE = New Game Enhancements.
To be honest, I am glad it is over. I somehow accepted the non-responsive Customer service, lack of information regarding major changes and hardline attitude from SOE, but enough is enough.
I felt positivly wierd when I submitted a question to the eve helpdesk and recieved not only a response the next day but a questionare regarding my opinion of the CCP performance regarding my matter.
SOE could really watch and learn...

Never get this attitude. It seems to be a common one among new players.
I started the game about a year ago, around this time in 2004. I would consider myself more successful than most players who have played for longer, if you count success in ISK. There are a huge number of ISK-making activites that do not at all depend on skill points. There are also a number of things in combat that I call the Great Equalizers--things that make the opponent's uber items and/or skill points useless. EW is one of these things.
In no other game can a level 10 beat a level 60.

guys,
stick with this game. PVP is ALL about how you kit your ship - NOT about skillpoints.
with the right set up, you can cause some serious headaches even at only 2-3 months old.
You are not limited in terms of what you wish to train - My character started life as a miner/builder. I got bored of that and switched over to fighting with no real problems.
Ok so training up to the higher levels takes time. So? getting your character to higher levels in any game takes time.
Theres something for everyone in this game you just got to go find it.

No, its not even all about that. Also important are how many friends you have, how good your teamwork is, your intel about your enemy, and your positioning in the battle. The least important thing, below all those, is skill points.

I only recently went back to SWG after being gone for a year. I couldn't go back to WoW, so I took some friend's advice and came to EVE.
after playing Earth & Beyond, I was kinda nervous about EVE, but it's good to see it's so much more in depth that that!
I've only been playing a few days, but I'm already hooked.
can't wait to actualyl figure out what I'm doing.

Kaveu from Wanderhome, (860 day vet) seems to be a few of us WH players here. Good to see you here Bermag, you were one of the finest and fairest weaponsmiths on the server. I used many of your guns. Logged on to swg for the last time last night to gmail goodbye to my few remaining friends, but im really enjoying EVE, so Im feeling pretty positive overall. Have to compliment the community here, very helpful and friendly. See you all in space

I'm Desire from the SWG Corbantis server.
I'm a refugee or evacuee from SWG. I hate to vent here, but man how STUPID I was to give SOE my money who NEVER listens to it's playerbase. I swear I've never seen more horrid customer service and lack of business expertise from a gaming company. The NGE has made the game a regular console game now. I hope SWG folds up and all the servers are put offline in the next few months.

SWG refugee from Starsider. Quit during the CU, and play EVE when I want something more complex than WoW. :) I'm enjoying it, but I've just finished the newbie missions -- I can more more mining the starting system than I can from these courier runs I'm on.

Just started today. I played MBH named Aldorn on Tempest since 03. Stopped for a while to play EQ2, when it came out, then switch to SWG when they did the combat revamp for EQ2, then decided after NGE came out to call it quits for SoE. I came to the conclusion that this was something that would continue to happen regardless of the games they manage and have had enough of it.
Just started the trial account today. First impression: loving it so far. Excited about the skill up system.

Someone I know worked in SWG Support for quite a while and some of the stuff he told me was mind-blowing...
Basically, the management in SOE were a bunch of arrogant, incompetent ********s who JUST DIDN'T CARE.
The Support team would list and collate the various issues and problems that needed to be resolved and present them to management, who would usually brush them off or dismiss them out of hand. The most commonly heard phrase was "you're not helping..."
In the end, around 2/3rds of the Support team was sacked and their jobs outsourced to India(no, I'm not making this up). The remainder were largely made up of sychophants and butt-kissers who told management what they wanted to hear...

i was on Eclipse, i started few months before CU came, when it came it wasnt that bad but i got bored quickly but was not sure about leaving (friends were still playing it), but since the new NGE arrived, most friends left and i told me its over and i can no longer be unique (my main interest when i play something) and im glad to be finally out of it. I tried eq2 but i dont like lvl based games much. When StarTrek online arrives i will probably switch to it but in the meantime i will have fun with EVE i think.

Yet another SWG exile here, Played primarily on Starsider(Merkar MHS) after Beta was over. I quite SWG after the the village and the CU, both just burned me out. I was looking forward to the NGE, but again SOE just dropped the ball. Also I played WOW some but found it to be rather simple and unengaging.
I stumbled on EVE by accident; I loved the Homeworld series and Deep space sci-fi, so when I saw the EVE site I decided to give it a try. After three days of playing I feel like an idiot for wasting my time and money on the other games.
"Hats off to the EVE Dev team and the Artists! This game is amazing."

I finally canceled my 4 SWG accounts over NGE. What a mess they are. I hated the CU but held out until this NGE gargabe came out. SOE has no clue what they are doing. Eve-Online is everything SWG should have been. Iconic professions was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I Love the fact that Eve lets you train on everything and you don't get pigeon-holed into one profession.

Welcome old friends from SWG! I played SWG for 2.5 years and came here due to the GROUP XP fiasco.
Anyways, EvE is like JTL on acid, so if you enjoyed tinkering with your ships and hunting loot for them in JTL, you are in heaven now. The learning curve is very slow, so my advice is to get into the recruitment thread and find yourself a home quick, solo in EvE will just have you leaning on your cancel button once again.
Most importantly, CCP is like butter.

Yeah, the game went really downhill after JTL. JTL itself was OK imo. - the spacesection was fun for a couple of days but at least it gave the functionality of free travel. ROTW felt like a complete rip off (30 euro was waaay too much for suck lousy content) but they didn`t trick me with TOOW anymore - I remember the rumors about the new expansion and that they would be on Mustafar and everyones outrage about that... SOE got away with that and 3 days after that tehy announce the betatest for SWG on PS3 as I like to call it...
I really can`t understand how anyone could let this happen at SOE, but from what I`ve heard they screwed up EQ (the first one) up big time aswell by adding powerleveling. I`m very disappointed in them right now...

Yeah the NGE sucks. What did you expect? They tried to graft a FPS onto one of the laggiest games in existence -- their DB design is abysmal (I understand what they were trying to do, but neither their design, nor their servers, nor their code are up to it -- even years later). How could it NOT suck?
They'd have had to rebuild their server and client side code from scratch -- like they were going to fork that out for a dying game.

Hi all! Yes, I just quit 2 accounts from Ahazi: Buxaroo Banzai (Master Bounty Hunter/Master Combat Medic) and Big'Bux (Master Shipwright/Architect/Artisan). Yes, the NGE really messed the game up for me. I went out and got another account and grinded him to crafter.....2 weeks before the NGE was announced.....waste of money and time. But I just got thru the tutorial and I took up miner profession to start. Ingame name is Buxaroo. I am on the 14 day trial but I sure can see this is going to be a fun game for me. Definetky a keeper

Newmoon from Intrepid, Kauri, and Chimaera. Man, was a ****ed! I payed for my account while deployed to Iraq. I deactivated the other, since I didn't mind losing whatever was on it. ARGHHHH. I had crafters on all my servers. Jypped isn't the word. Now I'm playing here, and I've been kicking myself repeatedly. The ONLY thing I liked about SWG was the complex crafting system. I love space based, and you'd think SWG would actually have space:P It took them a year to get JTL out, and it was supposed to be in the original game. I love it here. It doesn't take long to get up to speed, and mining pays for everything. I was heavily into mining in SWG. Unlimited skillpoints don't really make uber here. Point of diminishing returns and all that. PvP that I had missed from Ultima, and lots of systems to explore when I don't want to mine or do missions. XP isn't based on smacking themgs around, so if you want to explore the 6k plus systems, you can:D I'm in love.......
PS I'm also in the Eve University channel. Those guys are incredible for being able to answer any questions. I can now insta and everything:P

Ah well... The NGE sucks bigtime but I try to remember the good times I had with SWG (for example the first weeks being a noob on Tatooine - the first time I saw a Jedi in action and visiting all the POI`s was incredible). I think you could have fun if you get the game now but only for a limited time (you`ll master the proffs in no time and then yopu can go visit some of the cooler POI`s and do some themeparks) but after that the game really goes downwards... The lamest thing which really annoys me about the new SOE approach is the dependancy on the SW movies - if you visit the site at first you get to see a flashy trailer showing how cool it is etc. Besides this you only get to play the tutorial (afaik.) in the trial which must have alot of sabrefights etc. making the game look uber... And then they lure you into purchase... :(
Good thing they at least refund TOOWK - I bet they only do this to save their own ass and not because of their conscience
I`d really like to see subscriptionnumbers now.
Very sad policy

SWG lacks content a long time ago.... but this last change it also lost a community and game play fun what kills pretty mutch the game
After I finished Our Mandalorian Suit, only thing that let me go is the community well with 18 of 23 leaving it kills that :(
Hate the NGE..... played EVE-Online Beta bevore it did get live.... didn't begin with EVE because I had a SWG beta invite. but seems EVE has the complexity SWG now lacks love this game I must admit :)

I've got some good memories of Galaxies -- all pre-CU. (I recently heard they were making badly though out changes even before the original beta. It would have been interesting to see what the game would have been like without the constant developer churn and management that would take stable code over sticking to launch dates).
I think my fondest is from early on -- my friends (one Wookie, one Bothan) who joined the game with me. We're standing on a hillside on Tatooine, me and the Bothan wearing the bone armor I crafted (we didn't have a guild bankrolling us) and the Wook wearing clothes I made -- all of us carrying CDEF weapons I crafted.
The suns were setting, there was the Bothan's camp in the background, and a stunning view over the valley.....
It had a lot of potential to be a virtual world. Unfortunately, however good the initial design, what finally got implemented was half-complete and the original designers had already moved on -- it was the story of the game. Half-complete publishes that didn't mesh with the existing code, because there was no stability to the developers, no committment to the design, and no understanding of the world -- or how the players interacted with it.
The sad truth is -- the game Devs haven't understood their own game, or the people that play it, for at least 18 months now.

Left SWG before the CU due to the compulsive lieing of SOE and thier horrific treatment of customers. I had tickets (petitions) filed that had gone unreplied to for over a year. Actually I had never had any kind of reply from thier "customer support" at all since playing! Every patch seemed untested and rushed and caused bugs which were rarely addressed.
My GF left after the NGE (son of the CU) due to total disgust at SOE's "you've been beta testing this game for the PS3 for the past year, have a nice day". She'll probably go to dark and light.
I was shocked When EVE customer support actually answered my petition within 24hrs as promised. Seems this game is well made, fixing bugs seems a top priority. Stable server and most of all I don't feel like I'm being bent over backwards and shafted everytime I pay my subscription fee!
Seems in Iceland people actually give a **** about customers!

If any of you refugees want an old friendly help from another refugee, please feel free to contact me and I will do whatever I can to help.
Personally Im gone from any SOE game for good. Actually Im thinking about never buying a SONY product ever also.

Welcome to EVE everyone
thank you, and I'm truely sorry that I didn't play this game sooner.
this game has the level of depth that SWG was missing even before the Noob Gaming Extravaganza was patched in.
I miss the memory of good times in SWG, but not the game. I made the right move.
now it's off to the corp recruitment forums for me...

We could form a large corp. off the SWG exiles. I'm still screwing around in my Incursus, but I'm thinking of moving towards Covert Ops/Electronic Warfare as a focus.
With a side-emphasis in research and manufacturing. I'll be needing to join a real corp some day.

For me, it was 3 strikes and out against SWG. I quit with the CU, played here for a while. Then, SWG still not out of my system I went back and got bored again real quick. Then....the NGE. Methinks it is all out of my system now.
Anyhow, I was Bradshaw Lightyear on Ahazi, maker of excellent grinding weapons and later maker of incredible starship parts. I enjoyed fighting and helped run a guild called Galactic Insurgency (GI) in 2004. I enjoyed helping newbies, even as a newbie in 2003.
Changes in the game have made that lifestyle impossible. After the introduction of the combat level system with the CU, interaction between different level players seemed to disappear. It was impossible for a CL80 player to help a CL1 player get XP.
The NGE killed the entire concept of a half crafter/half fighter. I was "downsized" from SWG. Let go. A Dinosaur, no longer wanted or needed.
I was also Bradius on Shadowfire, who set up a thriving business in the ultimate merchant city in any of SWG's servers (Brenn on Naboo). Changes to the game caused the population on that server to go so low, I spent more time back on Ahazi. Eventually something happened that caused me to not be able to logon to Bradius anymore, and SWGs response was delete the character and create another. Not acceptable, so I just abandoned the character so that my building that other players had merchants in would continue on, and they could still use it. Great Customer Service there SOE .
Anyhow, anybody from Ahazi or Shadowfire that knew me or knew of me, I look forward to hearing from you. I can also give you a hand getting started as well, I am not totally new here. I can be reached through Spartan Caldarius, Sunnie Pruett, or Tesla VonBraun.

Well, I'm no "exile", as I still play SWG, and actually like the NGE. But I did a bunch of reading about EVE and decided to give it a whirl, as the style of gameplay seems to be one, at least from the forums and guides I've read, that I could really seriously enjoy.
In SWG I was a Master Armorsmith on Scylla, but that was some time ago. Now I just footle about. People still sometimes send me /tells that they need a new set of armor though. :D It's nice to know that I was the leader in my specialty (kinetic/PVE armor) for a while.
I'm looking forward to meeting all of you.

Yet another SWG'r.
Igek Lightwalker from Naritus. I had was a Jedi, and the alt was a Master Smuggler/Master Pistoleer. Second account was a Master Creature Handler/Master Bio-Engineer. We all know what they did to CH and BE.
Just to put it in perspective, I was an 810 veteran. I received my 27 month veteran reward 2 days before the NGE went live. I gave it two days, and canceled both my accounts.
Currently on the 14 day trial, and I am impressed.

you know, for awhile quite a few of us EVE players were wondering where y'all would go to, either us or WoW - glad so many of you chose to come try us out :)
I haven't read all of this thread, so forgive me if I give some previously stated advice for y'all:
- just because you start now doesn't mean you're never going to be able to beat older players; I've owned a few ppl that have been playing for a year, and I'm only about 6 months into the game
- if everything else in the game doesnt seem interesting, go pirate! the thrill of the hunt and the loot you can get from it outweigh anything else in the game, PvP in 0.0 space is also awesome
- the Kestrel frigate owns; if you want an excellent ship to try your hand in combat with, use the Kestrel or a Rifter, arguably the 2 best T1 frigates out there
- join a corp; lots of you are from SWG, and probably came over here with friends. make a corp with those friends, as the game is a lot more fun working as a team
- keep your clone updated and a skill in training at all times; if your here on a trial, it might not be the best idea to train learning skills atm because they take time, and dont allow you to train more practical skills first. that being said, if you're here for the long haul, learning skills REALLY pay off
- tactics, numbers, and skills win the day in combat; you may not have many skills atm, but you have numbers if you work with your friends, and a well planned attack/defense is always a good bonus
any questions, feel free to ask the community or volunteers we have here...
that, and beware of teh ebil pie-rats! YARR!!!111

I'm gonna guess that the forums get more active for an hour about now. :D
My initial thoughts, as a total newbie to EVE (and to MMOs in general unless you count ToonTown, which I play with my son, and SWG):
The graphics- wow. "Luscious" is the only word that comes to mind. I just sat for a while looking at one of the stations while the stupid tutorial computer was telling me I needed to dock with it. "Dock- are you insane? Look at that thing, it's a work of freakin' art."
Gameplay- not initially intuitive, BUT works well once you accept some of the underlying assumptions. It's consistent, which is more important than anything else. So it works, and works well.
Mechanics- I play chess and Star Fleet Battles. For those of you who play either (or both ) you probably realize that means I love the customization and flexibility. A masterful system that's elegantly simple in its basic design (a few attributes, they interact, but you can choose just about anything to make those attributes what you want), but incredibly complex, rich and varied when you get down to the nuts and bolts. I love it.
Other stuff- I haven't been ganked or hit up for PvP yet, but I figure it'll happen. When it does, meh. I used to get worked up over that sort of thing, but in the end, it's just for fun, so I figure why not have some? :)
I'm sure you'll see more of me. Once I finish these nooblet missions...

Welcome, one and all, and Im sorry SOE shafted you so thoroughly.
However, you've landed on your feet here in EVE.
You'll find the dev team here to be something I think to be unique in any MMORG, and that is that they care about the game just as much as we do.
If I can be of service (Im a 2+ year vet) in offering advice or help to you new chaps, drop me a message in game.

I just moved here from the Eclipse server, name was fangs.
I loved SWG, and the community was fantastic, but the NGE ruined it all, so i'm moving on.
I'm on the 30 day trial for Eve atm, i might hang about, i've heard the first week or two can be pretty borining, so i'm going to stick at it.
But there are a load of us, maybe a SWG refuge clan is in need? we can give out food and blankets to those that have travelled from that galaxy far far away, in search of a better life.

Yakov Lindbergh from Scylla here. I left SWG during the early beta for JTL. It was all too obvious then that the development team was unresponsive to the player base and lacked both vision and resources. Been here a few months after an earlier flirtation with Eve, loving it here.
Back on Scylla, I was co-guildleader of the Corellian Rebel Alliance, leading about 130 players. If anyone ex-SWG is looking to start up a corp, drop me a line, I'd love to help. And of course a shout out to any Scylla folks out there.

Came back to eve several months ago.
I was Karrihn from Ahazi. Played with the Kindread clan. It was great fun in the begining and slowly the chat channels became vacant. I played EVE for a couple months, then found out the guild was playing City of Heroes and joined them after trying EQ2 (sony....yuck). City of heroes in my opinion is a well done game. Just wasn't my cup -o- tea. From there the guild moved on to WOW and after getting tired of grinding out levels I decided to come back to EVE. Been back for 3 months and happy about it.
Feel free to contact me ingame if you need help.

I'm an SWG refugee, too (Raytheon from Shadowfire). Started EVE back in the middle of 2004 when I got tired of SOE's BS. Finally cancelled my account for good post-CU, when it didn't do much to help things and master jedi still pwned all.
When I first read this thread I was surprised at how few Shadowfirians have come to EVE (only two have posted in this thread, that I've noticed), then I remembered how small our server was.
BTW, you guys might know Gruelokk/Xiou Shen. He's here, too, somewhere, though I haven't talked to him lately. IIRC, he left SWG for EVE back in December of 2004.
Anyway, if you have any questions about EVE or need some help getting started, convo me in game. Best of luck to all of you.

Played SWG about a year ago. It was my first MMORPG.
I used to play XvT years ago, and dreamed of a MMO version where you can fight it out in a persistant universe, claim areas of space, etc. When I heard about JTL, I thought it might turn out something like my old dream. Sure, they wouldn't do it exactly like I thought it would be like, but something close. So I signed up months before JTL was actually out, intending to build up a character and learn the current game before JTL hit.
The first sign of trouble I noticed in JTL's development was in the pre-beta JTL forums, surrounding the TIE Defender. People who have played "TIE Fighter" know that the TIE Defender, though looking rather strange, was faster and more manuverable than an A-Wing and had more weapons and shields than an X-Wing. In a word, uber.
But on the forums, you saw stuff like this (exact timeframe is just a guess):
T-16 weeks to release: "Wouldn't it be cool if the Imps got a TIE Defender"
T-10 weeks to release: "Wow, I can't wait to fly a Defender and gimp some Rebs"
T-8 weeks: "How come the Imps get the Defender? Us Rebs don't get anything that powerful!" (Note--Devs had not given the official list of ships yet, and never said anything about the Defender)
T-7 weeks, after offical list released: "Where's my Defender? I was promised a Defender!"
So you went from having a community that thought the Defender might be cool to fly, to thinking it would be definately in the game (but without a single dev statement saying it would be) with Rebs being ready to cancel their accounts because it would "definately" be in the game, to having the actual ship list and Imps being ready to cancel their accounts because they were "promised" a (let's face it) totally unbalanced ship.
So that covers community idiocy. How about dev idiocy?
I got into the JTL beta rather late (about the time they were just accepting anyone who submitted an application). One of the things JTL did was have your ships upgradable. The n00b ship you got when you first started couldn't be upgraded, but that was fine since it only took an hour or so of quests before you could fly one that could.
So I started doing my quests and got up high enough that I could get a real ship. And that's where I noticed the dev's first mistake: the way you fit things to the ship was not rich enough to promote a veriety of ships. It was as if powergrid were the only limiting factor for ship setups in Eve (throwing out slots and CPU), which would mean you could throw 80 nanofibers+MWD on a tempest and have it go faster than a 'cepter while still having BS-level dps and tank. The result would be that the ships with the highest powergird in each faction were the only ships worth flying. This was much the same situation that JTL was facing, at least during beta.
I went through a few more quests. One had me taking out a YT-1300 (the Millenium Falcon is a YT-1300, but a highly upgraded one) with an escort. The AI was stone-dumb. Dumber than it was way back in "X-Wing" (a 15-year-old game). The escort would not attack you until you attacked them, and then only by the ship you attacked. The rest would just fly on. The one you attacked would turn a bit, then fly straight while you 0wned it. Once this part of the turkey shoot was done, you had to take down the YT-1300.
The regular YT-1300 only had one turrent on top of the ship (the Falcon was upgraded to have one on each side). In the ship you could fly this early on in the overall training, you would be easily taken out by that one turrent. But no problem--just fly on the other side! It's not like the AI was actually smart enough to, say, flip over, or turn, or even shoot at you while you were taking care of its escorts.
Granted, this was beta, but it was late beta. It just shouldn't have had such horrible AI, and the ship fitting would have needed a total redesign to work effectively.

I remember doing defense on your bases. I think that was before I had a full combat template, when I was manager of the CRA Resource Co-Op, when Bau was guildleader, which was back in the day. I was probably slightly more useful than a paperweight then.
How are the C of A guys doing these days? Any more of that crew over here in EVE?

We're still spreading the good word of Alvis, drinking and revenge. ;) Not as active in SWG any longer, as a number of people have moved on, some others came back. I'm pretty sure I'm the only Alvian on EVE at the moment. I'm hoping a few of my guildies give it a try, though.

Cymek previously of Intrepid galaxy signing in.
Brief history on me...SWG was first MMO. I played it since 3 months after launch and through thick and thin never cancelled. I grinded 27 professions under the old system and made Jedi. The NGE did me in. The lies, the bugs...I could go on and on but I won't. CANCELED FOREVER.
I have been looking for a new SciFi MMO and now find myself here. I am currently on a 14 day trial and we will see what happens.
Initial impressions...interface is intuitive, I am impressed an EVE dev posted in here, and I love the fact the tutorial is so long and walks you through with voice overs.
Anyways...shout out to my fellow exiles. I named my ship NGE Exile and my game name is Cymek302...may our experiences here be better than SWG...at this point we can only go up.

I said i would never leave galaxies. It was a sandbox world and you could do as you please with the depth there to back it up.
Not anymore... they messed everything up with the CU, but everybody that loved the game adapted and gave SOE a chance. Then they annouced the NGE, and really broke the game. I couldn't take it anymore.
From the first minute EVE loaded up I knew this was going to be good. The second i saw the complexity and depth that i so missed SWG, I knew I would love this game.
And I do. This game is amazing. I only wished I woudl have tried it earlier. I loved it so much i didn't even wait for my trial account to end before i signed up for reaccuring. If felt good to pay for a game I knew was concerned about their players.
BTW I was Ethyn Mueller on wanderhome.

im on the fence of quitting swg, its just not the same and won't be the same, only thing keeping me in SWG right now is space, but EVE > SWG space anyday, so i think i won't be renewing my swg account

I'm on the verge of being out of SWG also, friends are keeping me in. I just don't have any faith that they can take what they've created and make it fun or like the movies.
I'm originally from Sunrunner, was there on launch day. At least it was fun while it lasted. What I will miss the most is my character, and the story.

My initial thoughts, as a total newbie to EVE (and to MMOs in general unless you count ToonTown, which I play with my son, and SWG):
The graphics- wow. "Luscious" is the only word that comes to mind. I just sat for a while looking at one of the stations while the stupid tutorial computer was telling me I needed to dock with it. "Dock- are you insane? Look at that thing, it's a work of freakin' art."
Gameplay- not initially intuitive, BUT works well once you accept some of the underlying assumptions. It's consistent, which is more important than anything else. So it works, and works well.
Mechanics- I play chess and Star Fleet Battles. For those of you who play either (or both ) you probably realize that means I love the customization and flexibility. A masterful system that's elegantly simple in its basic design (a few attributes, they interact, but you can choose just about anything to make those attributes what you want), but incredibly complex, rich and varied when you get down to the nuts and bolts. I love it.
Other stuff- I haven't been ganked or hit up for PvP yet, but I figure it'll happen. When it does, meh. I used to get worked up over that sort of thing, but in the end, it's just for fun, so I figure why not have some? :)
I'm sure you'll see more of me. Once I finish these nooblet missions...
OMG Jimer Lins!! I remember jooo!!
I think we had many forum battles over JTLS due to the supposed injustice of forced pvp for the master pilot mission.. LOL

Heya everyone =D
I actually left SWG after the CU for RL reasons...althought I never really liked the changes. I decided to go back a couple weeks ago, when I saw on the forums some changes taking place. So, like the cat I am, my curiosity led me to the trial they have. Well.....it stunk, and reading about all the changes on the forums has forced me to delete everything SWG related and put the cd way back in my closet, never to see the light of day. I recently moved to EVE, and although I've heard great things about it, I dunno why I've never tried it. Well, I'm really glad I did...it is turning out to be my favorite game
Anyways, to all my wanderhomies, HorseThieves and previously NIF, this is Taven!
P.S. - I was a pre-cu (first CU, that is) jedi, so I'm not too fond of playing another SOE game again.

Did we? I still don't think it was appropriate in a game like SWG which used a model of "no non-consensual PVP" to bring in customers to force people into it for the final block in that skill tree.
But EVE's a bit different. PVP is part of the game from the start, but it's not like you're forced to go into 0.0 space to get a skill trained.
I'm no huge PVPer or anything, and I'm sure that, like everyone else, I'll get popped at some point. But since that's part of the basic assumption of the game, I'm not too worried about that.
I've got no problem with PVP. I just didn't agree with that particular game mechanic.

Welcome to EVE, everyone.
One thing to remember when you set out to play EVE - it takes a few days at least to understand the basics, and to get over most the very steep learning curve. It can be frustrating during that period - but after, you find yourself playing something better than you could have ever imagined. EVE is limitless - it is what the players, the community make it.
Also, as someone who has played a fair few MMOG's - it is safe to say, the EVE Community is the best you'll find out there, there are a lot of great people here, and the fact everyone plays on the same server helps bring the game's community closer together. Also, one thing you may also see is that here, the game's developers actively read, and post on these forums - in fact, I would go as far as to say that CCP Employees are a load of forum *****'s! Its great, you actually get some contact with the people making the game - and they actually listen to what the players want.
Want to know the best thing though? CCP's only product is EVE, and they are not owned by any of those oversized bastard companies such as EA or SOE. None of that crap with overpaid executives forcing games to change into something that really is, well, crap.
Welcome to EVE; welcome to the collective.

Former Ewach from Sunrunner
Technically not a NGE exile as I stopped playing when CU came out, even though my annual subscription (for second year) was paid through August.
Want to see the biggest difference between CCP and SOE? Go read the Dev Blog you will find there many things SOE never did:
-- explain how the back end worked (aka the post about lag and why they need to change things to fix it)
-- admit to a mistake and provide full explanation (see post about changing the Corporation name and then changing it back)
Playing over here with four other folks from Sunrunner. Having a good time. An amazing game interface, great client and a lot of fun.

As 3 month vet of EvE - I left SWG shortly after the CU went live - the best advice I can give you guys is to hook up with a good bunch of players. This game is best played in groups IMHO.
If you guys make an Exile corp, or join one of the hundreds of other corps out there, make sure they have an active player base for your time zone. The last thing you want is a corp that has few players in your timezone or everyone's afk.
Cheers.. you'll have blast figuring out this virtual world.

I came here on Thursday. My SWG account was cancelled as the NGE hit, it expired three days after... I enjoyed melee combat all the way until they made it Diablo II clickfest. I enjoyed the NGE for ... maybe three or four hours in beta until my hand hurt too much.
Anyways. I took a look at Eve for what must be the fifth time, and this time I didn't dismiss it and actually took a look. I looked beyond the thought of being trapped in a spaceship with no exploring to do. I thought SWG had ruined all future MMORPG's for me, since I don't like to be trapped in a professionbox. And afer the NGE I didn't want to go on in EQII. Let me just say ... this skillsystem rocks, and it is everything that I wished JtL would be! I was a huge fan of ELITE, and Eve crossed my path again after I read a post on Amiga.org about what current games are most like that old, beloved classic.
/wave Bermag /wave Myrdyr/Ziz
I used some weapons from SiyBer, they were great. I hope you will manage to do well here too. And Myrdyr: Thanks for the short TDP/ORCA war. It was fun in retrospect. It sure livened things up. It went downhill after that ... and up, and down and up and down to the point where the game was no more fun for me.

On a side note just about every online game on the net has a SWG exile thread!Thats gotta say something about what they did to us.

Greetings all. I gave Eve a go shortly before SWG went live. I had no intentions of sticking with Eve as I was just passing time waiting to begin a career on the Wanderhome server. I left SWG before all of the chaos and significant changes. Just didn't have the time to devote to the game at the time.
Just recently I got the urge to return to SWG, but after reading all of the reports from the community on the new NGE, I decided it was not for me.
I did enjoy my short time playing Eve and just opened an account today. I am really looking forward to getting back into it. As many of you have mentioned, the skill development process, CCP's reputation and CS, space/sci-fi and what appears to be a very friendly and mature community are what attracted me back.
Its been a couple of years, but it would be cool to find some of my old friends from SWG or even the good old Earth and Beyond days.
Well, time to get my feet wet and see if flying this frigate is just like riding a bike.
see you all in-game soon.

Any in need of assistance, I'd be glad to help you out. Its my way of getting even with SOE for ruining PS and now SWG

Hiyall!!
I've come over from SWG, but it wasn't as bad for me, as I only discovered it last week!
After dying of boredom on WoW and closing my account, I looked around for something a little bit more intelligent and was enraptured by the inherent complexity of the SWG universe. 23 character classes, unlimited skill choice and loads of goodies.
Just my bloody luck to download the trial and find it had all changed!! But I've gotta admit that the servers didn't get clogged up by having too many people playing at once! :-)
So I saw this on one of the boards and came over the other day. I love it!!
Great game and sure I'll be here a while...

Hello everyone:
Galaxy: Chilastra
Characters: Devs, Obiwill
Guild: Soloist
I had looked at EVE for sometime and weighed all the reviews against other games such as WoW (that I played for 3 months), CoH, and AO but decided to try this. I have been here for two weeks and love what I see, although this is my second character. I deleted Obiwill as it seems I got 200000 ISK in debt and couldnt make money!
I will try to ressurect him someday, but have since made Haverford, a Calderi eh.. uh.. mish mosh. I should have read that skills guide first! Anyways you may see me bumbling through the universe and if you get to powder me, I don't mind that so much as perhaps send me a hint as to how to clone or whatever to come back from the dead!
cheers and looking forward to meeting some people in game, hopefully I will run into Nadun again.

there is a good chance i think
some of the largest and most sucsessfull corps in eve started as refugee corps. for example Celestial horizon http://www.celestial-horizon.net/ wich alone makes up for 50% of the ASCN alliance started as a refugee corp of EnB players.

mmm, spearfish drones. :D It's true, it's a lot simpler in EVE (it kind of has to be) but there are some basic precepts that are very similar. Sort of like "The Cadet's Game". You gotta manage your power, shields, hull and weapons systems, and find the times you can use them to maximum effectiveness.
Overrun is one of my favorites as well. And it's always fun to death-drag your opponent's drones/SPs and watch his frustration mount. I was once getting the living snot beat out of me and in desperation pulled a HET and overran the guy. I got three full OL torps into his hull at the perfect range.
Now if EVE had tractor beams...

Again welcome, and feel free to give me a shout if you see my flying by
I did roleplay for about a year, not sure if I will in EVE. I am still trying to learn so much. It is intricate as all heck. :D

I've been playing (correction had been) SWG since Beta. At the height of my SOE madness I had 5 accounts running. My three favorite chars were Khazid Durcour (M.Arch/M. Artisan/Merch), Ot'alyia Durcour (M. SW/ M. Artisan/Merch) and Ssrak Drascat (Jedi -- Full Temp Pre Pub 9).
Now, I'm here. Still playing the tutorial, but thourougly enjoying the complexities of the business aspect of the game.

Welcome to EVE,
I am a 2.5 year veteran of SWG (still playing, but not much online because-you-know-why) and a 1.3 year veteran of EVE, which was always a good complementary game to SWG.
I mainly played on Naritus as Novarider and Delos. In EVE my name is Ian Novarider and I am most active in the CAS and German channel. At the moment the center of my activities is in Essence Region.
If you guys are planning a chat channel for "exiles" let me know.
Have fun

Paks/Daks/Jaks from Naritus signing in. Wow, there's a good bit of us here isn't there? I just got a trial key for Eve yesterday and I already love the complexity of the game. SWG was the first MMO I have ever played, and Pre CU I loved the amount of options available to my character but now I usually have no desire to even log in. I've already decided to drop one SWG account for an Eve account, and I'm lookin forward to actualy figuring this game out.

Played SWG since beta 3, still have an active account. However, i don't think it'll be active much longer.
Logged into EVE last night and thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
Decent people to talk to in channels too. No one whining or griefing others in the chat was a nice change from the crap i see in galaxies.

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.

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...)

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.

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.

1. I hated the icons at first.... then grew to love them(even though i said I never would)
2. Yes, the particle effects were overboard.
3. I always missed the combat que.... but because the game changed to require you to react and counteract your opponent, it was necessary (such as knock down recovery)
4. FOTM, yes, lot's of people had BH in their temps when CU hit (Cause it supplements any ranged prof nicely). But as far as their being more FOTM in CU than Pre-CU, I disagree. Before the CU there were only 3 basic proffs that you could win a pvp fight with, melee stacker, Pistol stacker, and rifleman..... those were super popular. after the CU there was plenty of very workable proff combos.

I recently moved here from SWG and was wondering how many other made the switch after the NGE hit...
I was on Starsider and my IGN was...(surprise, surprise) Kefra.
Basically Eve offers everything that SWG lost and then some. In fact I wish pre NGE SWG should have been more like Eve.
/signed
I quit after CU LOL. That game used to be soo cool. D&D in star wars land really... I knew something like NGE would happen, because CU sucked so bad so I cut my losses and ran. Glad I did now. You don't take an existing game, replace it with whole new one... The players signed up and were paying for the one they played, not everwars.
One thing you'll notice about eve is the devs actually care about the players. Sometimes they even jump into player threads to talk and chat with us, as opposed to only sending moderaters to delete posts. Sony should take a long hard look at CCP and they might solve the problem of perpetually disappearing players. The only customer service that comes close to being as bad as Sony's is Verizon LOL. Sony is writing themselves a ticket out of the online gaming business....
CCP's customer service has been stellar so far. They've addressed every issue I've had suprisingly fast, and fair. They make you feel like a part of the family, not a nuisance...

Originally by: Maco Dragoon4. FOTM, yes, lot's of people had BH in their temps when CU hit (Cause it supplements any ranged prof nicely). But as far as their being more FOTM in CU than Pre-CU, I disagree. Before the CU there were only 3 basic proffs that you could win a pvp fight with, melee stacker, Pistol stacker, and rifleman..... those were super popular. after the CU there was plenty of very workable proff combos.
[/quote
Did you still have the "Cannot Knockdown Recover while Knocked Down" bug? Because that summed up the entire CU in a single issue for me. :)
See, your problem is you're restricting yourself to PvP. Why? Most people played PvE. I was a TKM/Architect/Merchant. TKM wasn't for their uber-ness, but so I could group with people for combat while also running a business.
My buddy was a Master Rifles/Master Creature Handler (he gave up Master Ranger..killed him to do so).
We made our money collecting creature resources for AS's and Doctors, and by selling paintings, furniture, and art. (We spent quite a bit acquiring out-of-date schematics, loot paintings, posters, etc).
We had a blast. Never did the Corvette, never did the DWB, never really PvP'd. I admit, the last thing we did before the CU was get into an uncertied flame-thrower duel in Mos Eisley.
The CU combat levels killed all of that. My TKM/Merchant was gimped at 54. I had to drop it. My buddy dropped the rest of his Ranger and all of CH because it wasn't worth it.
Eve, on the other hand...blast. :)

I've always had Eve in my backpocket, played for a couple of months in release-year 2003 but dropped it pretty quick due to lack of content and other games getting my attention. Since then I tried everything, Everquest 1 & 2, Asherons Call 1 & 2, City of Heroes, Anarchy Online, tons of crappy korean mmos, Guild Wars, The Saga of Ryzom, Priston Tale, Project Entropia, Runescape, World of Warcraft and of course Star Wars Galaxies. SWG died with NGE (all other games had died earlier aswell), the only exception is World of Warcraft wich is still a fun game to jump in and play for a while. However it does not contain depth, feeling and most of all hearth. This I knew existed in EvE when I first played it so I hoped content had reached the level of which makes me stay, and surprise surprise, it sure has. Maybe not in content as dungeons and super cool bosses to fight but a whole new level of content, called community. Man, I know why all other games got me bored after a few months.. they have NO community, this game surpasses everything community has to offer, mix it with really cool spaceships, tearbringing atmosphere and extremelly wellfounded Roleplaying-lore and you get a game in worldclass.
One thing is sure.
I'm here to stay.

Greetings ,
I am an SOE refugee as well, I think most of the others have explained the reasons why quite well . I was actually quite sick of SOE and SWG a long while back, but the people in my guild were the only reason I stayed. But now, with most of them gone and on to other games(EQ2 *shudder*), I find myself at a crossroads.
I had downloaded and played the EVE trial a couple of months back and loved it. And so now here I am, and quite happy about it. This now looks like it will be my new home. Only problem so far is deciding where I fit in here, fighting, mining, etc.. But, that's part of the fun I guess.
BTW, I was Shogie on Chilastra.

So agree to that, some days ago my friend told me he was stuck in a station view and couldnt see anything. So I found the help channel and adressed the problem, since Im used to SOE I kinda only adressed the issue to the other people in the channel. Almost spilled my coffee when I got the answer 5 secs later and another one 2 secs after that telling me they would take it over if the first solution didnt help. SOE support "tickets" take longer time to even confirm a ticket was sent...

I did get the KD bug on occassion.... but it seemed to eb and flow.... sometimes often, othertimes not for weeks. But it did suck... imagine if they had their devs fixing bugs like that instead of creating a new game.
the reason I "limited" myself to PvP was because it's the only way I get the rush. To each their own.

Hi, jsut started this game a few days ago. was on ahazi in SWG for aobut 1.5 years it think starting shortly after launch. Eventually got board during the days of solo groups, remember those? hehe, and left for CoH and later WoW,
Went back to SWG in aug this year to try out space and liked it enough to stay, but the NGE killed the game for me, and still board of WoW after maxing 2 chars.
Havent had time to read this whole thread yet but is there a corp or whatever guilds are called in this game of old swg players like most other mmo game seem to have lately? I could use some help learning this one as all my normal group is still in WoW or CoH/CoV and a few diehards left in SWG. IGN is Ogotai

Started playing for about 4 months before the village hit, and quit a few months after the CU came. God I loved how the game started out, but now I just wish I had found EVE when the village hit so I could have stopped wasting my money. I wish EVE would get out and advertise more.
Now just need to figure out what is causing me to disconnect from the server almost every time I try to do something in a station.

Looks like Exiles Corp is doing well.
The strangest thing for me is the actual interaction between the dev team, moderators and playerbase.
Questions like "When will RMR be released?" are actually responded too. Maybe not with a day, but they recieve notice.
This helps keep everyone civil.

This is a little different than a few changes. Imagine if you can Eve turning into a ground based game overnight. That wouldn't be a small change or a small nerf. It would be a complete change of the concept of the game.

Burned. I considered making a remark about their experiences with SWG being bad enough to make the S&M losers shut UP about the minor changes the devs do every so often, but I guess I was feeling nice.

Count me among the refugees. I started SWG in beta, and I was a loyal and enthusiastic player through all the wild nerf-bat flailing, hologrinding, the Jedi revamp, the CU and the never-ending string of bugs...but the NGE broke me. So I said goodbye to the galaxy far, far away, hung up my ancient weapon, abandoned my hokey religion and moved into this lovely galaxy.

I've been with EVE since mid-beta, and played it on and off. Sort of got burnt out on it and went to SWG because many friends of mine also did. I'm not a big star wars nut, but the game was fun. I did get fed up eventually with the lack of content, and went into some other MMO's, and then returned to SWG in time for the CU to hit. After that, I left. Fast. Now after hearing about the NGE, and being a 3 year EQ player, I do feel SOE has done it again, and royally fracked their customers.
EVE, on the other hand, just keeps getting better. I reactivated my EVE account a few months ago, and I've enjoyed every last minute of it. The beauty of EVE is that you can do anything you want. If you want to be a miner, you can. You want to throw in some building? That's cool. You wanna fight too and just mine on your off-days? Go ahead.
And that's just game mechanics. The universe itself is alive with politics, alliances, big deals, shady deals, backstabbing, intrige, and awesome roleplay. There's something to satisfy everyone, and with the skill training system being as it is, you can just set a big 2 week training skill and take a vacation, only to come back and find you can now fly a new type of ship.
Even better are the devs, support, q&a -- the devs care about this game, it shows in almost everything they do, support is awesome, and most patches are tested thorougly before hitting live. Sure, sometimes things go wrong, and let me tell you... CCP, so far, has been the only company I've ever seen apologising for a wrong decision they made. They're not afraid to take responsibility, and that, people, makes this one hell of a fine game.
And lets not forget the community, we all sometimes have our flamewars and childish moments, but on average, the community is mature and intelligent -- and the community is what shapes this game and makes it absolutely awesome.
This is just what I think, so before anyone accuses me of being TomB's nerfbat polisher *cough* .. I'd just like to say again, this is just my opinion.
Oh, yeah, I used to play on Tarquinas, was part of Avatar's Criminal Syndicate based on Dantooine, and any SWG exile that has questions or needs a hand, let me know and I'll see what I can do for ya :)

Played SWG for the free trial and I couldnt stand how laggy it was opening doors and the load times leaving or entering a station maby it was the server but it froze and crashed quite a bit.
Running on an Alienware pent4, 3.0 gig with ATI9800 pro vid card..
Well needless to say I wont be an elite commando anytime soon.
What a shame for having such a great title under their belt to let that sort of game be so crappy it could be so much more.

Another SWG refugee reporting in. I was on the Bloodfin server. Played since launch and was addicted until the NGE. Was optimistic about it at first, but after playing a few weeks I just can't stick with it. Such a wonderful game ruined.
I had heard of EVE before but never gave it a go. But after hearing great things on the SWG forums and the article in this months PC Gamer, I had to give it a try. I'm only on my second day of my trial and wow. I should have started playing this a long time ago. I plan to make this my new home

Jaycen Ordo / Careos Ordo from Intrepid here.
I have been playing SWG off and on since release. I started out as a Droid Engineer and Marksman, then got tired of the lack of anything decent in the profession. I changed to swordsman / doctor. Right after, they revamped droids. Then...I start becoming a very profitable doctor as well as able to take on a jedi solo. Then...they nerfed doctor...my 30+ million in medpacks are now useless. I decided to take a break and found Eve. Eve is the best MMO out there. After a month or two, I decided to give SWG another shot after the CU. I once again loved it, established my bank account and museum again. Money problems forced me to quit one more time until this weekend. I downloaded the demo and found I liked the game again. Enough to reactivate my maxxed out BH / Rifleman. Damn was that a mistake. Thanks SOE for taking over 500.00 of my money and giving me nothing.

Welcome to all. I guess I'm a bit of an exile too. I canceled my SOE Station Pass when Planetside put in "Fanta Soda" and "Duce Bigalow" adds over the equipment terminals. Galaxies was wearing on me as it was and my boyfriend was having a blast back over here in EvE, so I redirected my cash here a few months ago.
I tried the 10day demo for Galaxies last week. I like the quick action of the NGE, but the fact that every template is exactly the same as everyone else in that class removes the whole "RPG" element. Being able to start as a Jedi just seems...dirty, or cheating, to all the people that worked hard for it. But the main reason it's bad to me, was the underhanded, back door, sneeky ass way they threw it at the players. It was all done in secret over the last year and tossed at the players the day after the LavaLand expansion started. Weak.
I was Oteb, the wandering wookie of Gorath
Here's a little holiday cheer I copied from the MMORPG.com newsletter you may enjoy.
'Twas the month before Christmas, when all through the town,
Not a creature was stirring, the servers were down;
The questions were posted in the forums with care,
In the hopes that Thunderheart soon would be there.
The children were playing a whole different game,
While visions of Night Elf chix kept them away;
And Tom in his composite, I in my RIS,
Were debating the plan for today's hunting bliss.
When out on the chat room arose angry chatter,
I sprang to the website to see what's the matter;
Away to the patch notes I flew in a tick,
And barfed up my pancakes, I knew I was sick.
The thread it was ugly with new posted gripes,
I tossed down some Pepto to settle my pipes;
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
My Ranger was missing, and with all his gear!
"A respec, that's it?" I said in hoarse voice,
I knew in a moment I just had no choice;
More rapid than eagles the Jedi they spawned,
They whistled and shouted, and were instantly pwned.
Now CH, now Carbineer, now Ranger and Doc,
And Pistoleer, Rifleman, Squad Leaders mocked;
To buy a new game, they went off to the mall,
They dashed away, dashed away, dashed away all.

I decided to reactivate my Eve account after SWG took a nose dive with the NGE. I really do hope they shut down the servers on the once great game. Makes me sick to see what they have done to the game and my Jedi which I worked so hard to get. If the insider info is correct SOE has 12 months to pull back the subs they lost or they are going to shut down the servers.
Anyway I am Relshar of the FarStar server

the game continues. thx to eve online. btw major reason i left those other games was due to expansions that just plain sucked or changed the game enough to where i lost interest, hoping eve doesnt follow that path but time will tell.

Another SWG transplant, from Chilastra. Left SWG about 9 months after release, recently came back but the NGE chased me away. Toons there were Dogbert, Buteo, Lineatus and Kennicotti.
Trying out the 14 day demo. The tutorial was well done, seems quite deep of a game, lots to learn. I like that as opposed to the Lucas Arts clown who stated that SWG had too much reading and they wanted to provide a game so people could kill and loot as fast as possible. She is apparently the product manager of SWG at LA.

MBH/Jedi Aristos Do'Urden Corbugtis signing in. Started playing SWG on July 12th 03 as a b-day present to myself. As much as I can't stand SOL...errr...E and LA for how they handled SWG and the NGE I did have fun over the last 2 years, too bad I'll never play another SOE game and will think twice about any future Star Wars MMORPG.
I would love to have seen SOE/LA faces when they got the numbers from how many accounts where cancelled because of the NGE. SWGs' development team couldn't be more out of touch with it's players, all that time/money spent on "focus" groups could have been put to use working on the game. Guess they just don't get it that once you go live it's the players that sell the game for you.
Betaed EVE before I went off to pay err play the live beta of SWG. Came back on the trial to see how things had progressed, once my brother saw it he was hooked. Been back in EVE for about 8 months, but took 4 months off because I was still playing SWG at the time. Now I'm here for good.

Took a few months away from SWG, renewed for a month, and saw that someone had replaced the game with a very large pile of dogs droppings. At first I thought SOE were just making a little joke, but no, the next day I logged in to find them continuing in their humour.
Only been here for a few minutes, looking forward to learning the game after this big patch

Another exile here too, i played eve beta, and decided to try out SWG (pre CU of course) and it got me ...
Along with a bad series of circumstances i decided to stay with SWG, a game i really loved and played since EVE-betatest ended...if i only knew back then...
Shafted over and over by SOE, taking one hit after the other...i kept going till this NGE came...that was one hit i couldn't take...
my only regret looking back:
HAD i only have stayed in EVE right after Beta...

Another SWG player here, with my first post.
Not actual refugee yet, as i still have active account but....
You know its just sad to log in and see all the empty cities.
And the corporate ways of SOE sickened me. Still miss the good old days and my friends
I just have hard time to find motivation to log in to SWG.
I have tried EVE before with trial versions and i liked it then. The freedom you have in EVE is just wonderful- nice ôsandboxö game. After all the NGE madness and hatred in SWG forums i happened to read CCP DevÆs blogs and was blown away by it.
This is the way to communicate with players. SOE should take lessons.
And it feels that devÆs really care about the game. Wow. Attitude that gets rare nowadays.
So IÆm here now. And spend more and more my time in EVE. Love it. Even if i donÆt understand most of the game mechanics yet, it is just fun. And community here most wonderful and really helpful people..
SWG char: Farstar, Silenius Fe'Fey, ex- member of Corba guild on Dantooine. Member of Republic Defenders on Corellia.
Hope to meet you IG.

Hello,
Bhasayate here. I had a toon named Bhasayate on Sunrunner. I had another toon, Bharata, on Sunrunner, too.
I just recently cancelled, so I'm yet another SWG exile. I played for 27 months or so. Just got my 27 month vet reward.
I cancelled Bharata after the CU and then cancelled Bhasayate after the NGE. I tried to play it for a month, thought I'd get used to the changes. But I HATE them. SWG was cool, I could handle the CU after a while. But now the game is a stinking pile of crap.
I'm enjoying EVE so far. Found a good corp and so have a new group of people to hang with. I like the fact that I can train any old skill I want, and do whatever I want. I do a bit of everything right now, but haven't broke into making things yet, but plan on it soon.
/hi5 to other sunrunnerians
and I PROMISE, if any of you know me, I will NOT be a troll here. I trolled so much because I hated the DEV team and liked to riot and cause trouble. But the devs here, the company, they know what's up and I respect them.

I've read a whole lot about EVE and lucky me, I finally decide to try it out on the 14 of Dec... I guess I didn't read enough about the patching =) But I finally got in last night and I'm excited to start learning a truly indepth game!

Still got my SWG account running upto the 15th of Jan which by interesting coincidence is when my first billing for EVE is due.
I was a pre NGE Jedi on Infinity by the name of Levo Frepa, had been playing for 18 months but now logging on to SWG is such an effort and its no fun. All my mates are quitting so the social aspect has gone for me also.
Decided to check out EVE today while waiting for SoG to be patched (Settles of Ganareth, the Dark and Light prelude). I love sci-fi over fantasy and so far with my about 6 hours of play time on EVE I have been very impressed. Nice web site too that seems very easy to get around and containing a wealth of information.
It's nice to be here :)

Scossko was a master BH/Pistols pre nge.
I started playing SWG when Earth and Beyond closed,(yeah i know two times, hope third is the charm)
Impressions so far- Loving it, the depth, complexity astounds me and I would have wished the same for SWG but alas it was not to be.
Hope to see some of you here on EVE and have a good one everyone

I don't know if this has already been suggested but anyways. I like many of you am a refugee from the NGE. Was Twig on Tarquinas. Just activated my new eve account this morning before heading off to work. decided to go with a new one over my old account as all my agent status will be at 0 and don't feel like going through the long haul to get back to lvl 2 agents and up.
anyways i was tossing around the idea of setting up a corp for all of us. gonna take a couple days before i get the skills and capital to get it up and running so this may be premature. was wondering if any of you would be interested in signing on with such a corp if it was brought into existance(well and also if one isn't already in existance)
Keep an eye out for DjTwig

Greetings from SWG Tempest. Well not anymore. In a nut shell... My husband, myself, my son-in-law, and my grandson all cancelled our 7 collective accounts immediately after SOE RUINED SWG Sad... we played SWG beta and were there day 1 of pay to play. After the change our characters that we had been playing for years just ceased to exist!!! You can no longer pick and choose what you want to be. No more duel careers. I literally shed tears I was so mad. SOE Lucas Arts have to be the least intelligent folks in the gaming industry to to this to all these people. Loyal paying subscribers just treated like dirt! Taking a wonderfully complex game like that and turning it into a glorified console game that even my 8 yr old Grandson thinks is stupid now... real brilliant business move there by SOE huh? *shakes head* Just think about the losses they are taking... I mean seriously. Just my Families accounts alone (we had 7 collectively) 7 @ $14.99 per mont = $104.93 Then x 12 months = $1,260.00 per year! From just ONE family!!! They are loosing millions I asure you.
Well, It's good news for nice folks like EVE ONLINE because I love this game! so does my family! Families who play together ... stay together! This game is a wonderful change! The Mods and CSRs here are FABULOUS! You get help instantly when you need it. The community is a toal #1 class act all the way! I love the way the mods police the game and keep the trash out We fell in love with EVE from the tutorial alone! I have never in my 8 years of MMO playing history seen such an AWESOME Tutorial! and you can quote me! This game has the intellectual challenge that SWG had and then some which is why we played SWG ... it wasn't a simple game... it was complex and intellectually challenging! Well SWG may be a ghost game of the past but EVE is DEFINATELY THE game for those Sci-Fi fans who love their brain massaged From the friendly volunteer mods in the help channels to the Corperations welcoming the masses fleeing from a ruined galaxy seeking a new home... you are all TERRIFIC in my book and I LOVE it here in EVE!
Akasha Moonshadow Guild Mistress of Stormhaven SWG Tempest may be dead...

First post, heh.
The Siirupe Brothers from Kauri - Maapil and Choclut
This game has done the one thing I never thought I would do, and that is not log into SWG for a straight week, not even to check my mail. I've played SWG since Day 2, non-stop. Was my first, and I thought, my only MMO. NGE changed that.
Free trial is almost over, but will start sending CCP my money soon. Wasn't smart enough to cancel SWG right away, decided to wait a month before cancelling in the hopes they would roll-back or set up a "classic" server.
I have sooo many questions, I don't know where to even begin. If I knew how to find some of the ex-SWG corps, I would come check you all out. Is there a "/tell" system in this game? And how on earth do you access in-game controls such as turning off sound, and changing the screen to full screen? Half my stuff is cut-off at the bottom playing in a window.
Anyway, nice to see some fellow Kaurians...Hey Ragla, nice to see you.

I'm not an exile exactly (I've been playing sporadically for about a year and a half), but I did play SWG. I was on Bria from day 1 up until the "combat upgrade." I also used to play Matrix Online, but I dropped that when SOE bought it.

Hi, my name is 'HadHatter TheInsane' from the Naritus Galaxy. I am a Starwars Galaxies Excile. I have been playing SWG for almost 2 1/2 years. I was leader of one of the largest Rebel guilds on Naritus. I left SWG once the NGE hit and came over to EVE.

The comments on some of the structures left on Ahazi regarding NGE did make me laugh though
Also on WoW (River - Immunity guild -lvl 60 mage on Al-Akir), and Neocron (Zappanker, Sorn, River, Tori on Terra), but cancelled all accounts, so hoping to make a new home within EvE.
On EVE my chars named Sornn, and im a total noob to this game, spent 3 hours doing the tutorial....hey im slow, but persistant.

I've heard that they're having a massive number of cancellations. They aren't just coming here, I've heard WoW and CoH/CoV are getting a huge influx of former SW:G players too.

Slim Vargo from Corbantis. At various times I've been a Master Weaponsmith, Master Armorsmith, Master Smuggler, Master Artisan, Master Shipwright and a Master Merchant.
I'm on a 14-day trial, and working my way through the tutorial. I'm not sure yet if I'll stay or not, but it has been interesting so far, if not a bit overwhelming as well. Guess I'll see how things go.
I'm also playing WoW at the moment, which is an interesting diversion. But I can already see the limitations of that game (i.e. hitting the level limit). I can see where Eve-online is an infinitely deeper game than WoW, or even pre-NGE Galaxies.

SWGers should love this game! PvP in EVE is what GCW should have always been!

One of the things that I LOVE about Eve is that once you get to a high level on something, you don't have to "Relinquish" skills in order to become a high level on something else. Eve has done a FANTASTIC job of both making it fun and easy for newbs to get going and make a contribution with the right setup, while at the same time offering High Level players some SERIOUS love!!

Archon Industries has a few... some of us ( myself included ) are also long time CoH/CoV vets too. Some of us ( myself included ) play WoW a lot as well.

Signing in...
Dumenous - Long time Master Weaponsmith/Master Swords pre CU. Took Slow path to jedi and had fun with it. Was a High-Mid level Jedi able to stand my ground against BH when NGE was announced. Nearly a years worth of work down the drain with Jedi.
Hehet - Replacement Weaponsmith after Dumenous laid down the skills for Jedi. Never finished this temp... but she was confirmed to be one of the Hottest chars in the game.
AmIevL - Master Bounty Hunter, Master Rifles, and Doc. Lot holder for houses and Factories... and loot hunter for Jedi crystals and BH stuffs.
I played for almost 2 years... all chars on BRIA. Loved SWG and cant believe the stupidity.
I played EVE trial before I joined SWG and would have prolly went with EVE, but I got SWG for christmas. Looking forward to spending some time in this game.

I was Gadge on Chimera.
But i was Gadget on Eve first.
I left Eve around the time of the mining laser 2 episode.
The casual killing at gates made me actualy not like playing .. I found myself just being angry when ever i played. So i went to SWG.
Now SWG has been uber nurfed (I was a crafter) i thought id try Eve again .. After paying some rather heavy fines to get my confiscated goods back im loving it.
Much more balanced. I like the way its no longer geared toward pirates having an easy life.

I left SWG after almost 2 years for the exact reasons of the original poster, they nerfed alot of good stuff when they implemented what I knew as the CU or combat upgrade...spent over a year focusing a character on jedi training and was so close, wanted so bad to wield a stupid lightsaber and be in a big jedi battle at night...lol...used to be the coolest fights ever. Found EVE and never looked back...cheers to CCP for thier originality and ingenuity. What's a NGE? Not Gonna Enjoy?

NGE exile here too.. Stupid nge made most of the active members of our PA leave. Especialy some close ingame friends. And tbh the PA was the best thing with the game. And when the NGE turned out to be 100% junk i left.
I loved the game, but they had to **** it up :/
One thing is for sure tho. Ill never buy a new soe game

LOL! I left (purged my Jedi, and killed my wookiee second account) about two weeks prior to the NGE. I was getting increasingly frustrated at the lack of fixing content and profession bugs. Lo and behold I found out why they never fixed the GPS baby spawns on Corellia...
Maybe I was having a premonition or something, but I just up and left and two weeks later the NGE hit.
I tried WoW briefly, but it felt like a grind-intense Super Mario Brothers. I kept expecting to see King Koopa hiding in the bushes.
I have been playing Guild Wars and will continue to do so.
Jonesing on a space setting, I checked this game out and started my trial last Thursday. It's early, but I suspect I'm hooked...

I cry my self to sleep sometimes thinking about the NGE (just kidding). I quit SWG after 2 weeks of trying the NGE..SOE turned a great game with potential into a 3rd rate FPS and a 5th rate RPG...the MMO aspect was going the way of the Dodo. I think it will end up being Star Wars Battlefront 3.
Anyone who knew me in SWG contact me in EVE as Gantry Koh

Welcome to Eve ladies and gents.
Played SWG right around launch, lost interest after about 4 months, then came back for a two months stint last summer. Now back at Eve again...can't seem to get away from this game.
Hope you all have a great time learning the new environment. Lots of resources for you to learn the game if you know where to look (IE - Don't ask in the newbie corp channels...you'll find a lot of 12 yr old idiots there).

I used to play on Bloodfin as Shaftoe played with a guild called KLIQ, played til around the release of JtL. Got bored with the crap going on with the developers having a bad case of ADD.
I REALLY REALLY REALLY liked SWG, it had a great base and I was hopeing that they were making it better, then the NGE hit and I found out they don't care about the game at all, they want to do something easy instead of testing things.
Totally do not like the changes that are going on now. And commercials they have advertising the game are so low budget its not even funny. They had a good game and they screwed it up. Anyhow I really like EVE especially the skills training when you aren't in game. I wish SWG would have implemented something that worked while you were away, harvesters did something like that, but they had their problems. Along with selling resources.

this thread needs to get back to Sony:) as if they would care now....
I came from the radiant server, toon of the same name as now. Funny thing was, I was largely a rp'er and the combat was a minimal aspect of my game, about as it is now...I started playing about 2 months post launch and quit after the combat rebalance. Nothing I could do as a doctor and CH:) I wish there was a bit more of the rp'ing swg had in eve...sure eve has a rich back story, but besides ships floating in space, there isn't too much interaction besides comm chatter. Still loving it though...

Left SWG after 3 months playing started in oct so just before the NGE and really liked thing, When the NGE hit I gave it a good play and went all the way through the legacy quest (bugged to **** missions) decided that I really didnt like all the bugs and the grind needed to get my char past level 35.
Funny thing though. I played for 3 months including ToOW for free.
I checkout the forums sometimes to see if things have got any better, but things seem to be getting worse. SWG RIP 12 months??

I am so glad to see lots of ex-swg players here! I have been playing for 2 months now and I am here to stay. BTW, any of you guys get that stupid email with a "Come back and try us again for 2 weeks free" crap? I read all the junk they said they were going to implement and I just could not beleive that this drivel was what they thought they could yank us back with. Heavy Guns....like I cared. I had a heavy gun.....Trandoshan Rifle with 700dps! Not anymore!
BTW, I was Buxaroo Banzai/Big'Bux on Ahazi. I feel sorry for some of my guildmates left behind....3 left out of 70 and only because they were dumb enough to pay for 6 months to a year in advance. But this game I would consider it......not to mention you get a pretty damn good discount if you pay that far ahead. Not to mention CCP has their **** together unlike the subhumans who run SOE/LA now. I remember when I looked forward to LA games. X-Wing/Tie-Fighter you name it. Then it all went to hell when Lucas started making the new trilogy and let the Harvard grad idiots make all the decisions in regards to what people wanted to play.

It's amazing to see what SOE and LA has done with that game. Too bad for SOE I'll _never_ touch anything with a "SOE" label on it again.
Now, I'm curious to see how CCP maintains the quality of their product/products. :)

Hi there,
Another SWG refugee here.
I come from Europe Farstar. "DaveG" the Wookiee, was a long standing Master Ranger.
Hoping to get myself a stealth ship, so that I can pretend to be a Ranger in here.
I actually beta tested EVE, and gave up on it; citing it as "The most boring game in the universe" and I promptly went back to playing "JumpGate". Anyway, now I've had my time in SWG, I thought it was time to come back and give EVE another try.
I'm finding EVE a little slow and overwhelming to get into. However, I know from my SWG time, that it does take time to get into these sorts of games and to understand all the systems, so I'm going to give EVE a bit longer.

Unfortunately there is no Ranger hat in this game either
Quite strange really as I was a long time Master Ranger in SWG, Dajo Valic on Valcyn server, and am working my way towards flying Covert Ops ships here in EVE, it seemed the most Rangerly thing here

I'm a SWG NGE refugee as well... I gave the NGE a try, and it's just not the game that I payed for. I enjoyed pre-CU, and I really liked the CU. But, the NGE took all that enjoyment, shot it in the face several times, and shoved it out a twelve story window.
Anyways, I'm Stilgar from Shadowfire. I'd love to hear from anyone else out there who's from shadowfire btw

Hello all.
Im thinking about leaving SWG to start playing Eve to replace my SWG time. What really stands out that would make me make the final jump away from SWG. I like this game so far but I cant find a concreat reason cut loose from SWG just yet. Share your thoughts.
(sorry Kefra not trying to hijack your thread just trying to finalize a game move :) )

Ariakus, first of all get the heck out of SWG! I left after the CU went live. The game has been sooo bad ever since. Secondly, the reason why I still reminisce about SWG Pre-CU is the immersion, community, and player created content.
This game has no limits to what you can do. It is very in depth, open-ended, and immersive. I'm only in my 4th day or so but I am betting all my ISK's (and my 14.99 a month) that it is in a class of its own.
If you like boring grinding and instant gratification then go to any other MMO. If you like SWG for the reasons that I did get over here now!

The last post is me too (Jasymn Apexas) but this is my main character.
I'm Esrie, DJK and former leader of APEX from Intrepid server. (before she mysteriously ended up in the hands of another person...)
And for the love of everything, if there are any APEX playing this game or you know me from Intrepid, look me up!
I thought since this game is called Eve that I'd play a female character. Is that a good enough excuse for a guy? |

Thanks all.
Here is a concrete reason, CCP has not done anything ridiculous to this game in the years it has been live, at least nothing I have heard of. SOE...on the other hand, well you know about the NGE as well as I did. I canceled my account after giving the NGE a month trial. Every time I logged into SWG after NGE went live, I was simply disgusted with it. It became a 3rd rate first person shooter, and a 5th rate RPG. The RP aspect almost completely gone. My guild of 30 went to 5 overnight, our affiliation went from well over 130 to around 25, and fewer over those next few weeks.
Now for better reasons. I have played EVE for 2.5 weeks now and I LOVE THIS GAME. It IS everything that SWG promised to be from Beta and more. The RP in this game can get incredibly emmersive. There is no reason to re-roll your character if you want to change professions, just buy the skill books and stick them in your head. You can play in an entirely safe (0.5-1.0 space) environment, or you can take risks by going into low security or 0.0. PvP is NOT consensual, which I feel adds to the emersion of the game and the possibilities. You actually can be an outlaw or a smuggler, you can be in large scale battles where your tactics are more important than your equipment and character skills. There are possibilities abound.
Another great thing is no mindless grind, you can learn skills while you are not even logged in. The only grind is for money, which really doesn't take too long. I currently have 8 million ISK and probably have spent close to 5 million, in my 2.5 weeks. (I have maybe physically played the game for 30 hours total).
To sum up my ramblings here, my love of EVE can be stated in one word:

Hi all,
I was a long time member of Ez (Guild) on Chimaera and had been playing SWG since launch. Character name was Marzepans and I'd managed to get a full template Jedi just as SOE introduced the village and disabled the force-ranking system. The NGE was just the final nail in the coffin for me so I cancelled my account and got a refund for the Trials of Obi-Wan.
Most of Ez went of to play WOW but my experience of playing online games by Blizzard has not been good so I decided to go with Eve. I played Elite on the Spectrum and Frontier too although I have to admit Frontier was just a tad too buggy to be enjoyed properly. Anyway, I realise this is starting to sound like a confession from an AA meeting so I'll wrap it now. Anyone who knows me from SWG or who has anything interesting to say can email me in-game. User name is Marzepans

The worst problem with SWG is the devs, SOE.
I left because of NGE. It was not that the NGE was that bad (I actually enjoyed starting a new char in NGE beta) but how SOE treats their customers and that they destroyed to much:
- Complexity gone. No more planning which professions to mix and match to come up with a new template. Same with equipment. No reason to find a good combo of equipment. Most equipment is all the same.
- Crafting is more or less useless. Can't enhance weapons with krayt tissues etc. no more fiddlign with experimenting different stats. Most weapons come out all the same (probably n need for even 12 pts). Weapon crfating was fun after CU but NGE it become completly useless. No decay anymore so peopel can use the same equipment all time so no new sales. (I am pretty sure player economy is pretty dead now)
- Before NGE (or actually more so pre-CU) it was fun to take your combat alt and out hunting for krayt tissues and other loot that can enhance what you craft. Nothign worth lotting anymore (Gen lab become almost useless already after CU)
- Complete Carebear philosophy of SOE. There is no danger, not even to wear out your equipment.
- SOE, SOE, SOE They go from bad to worse. Every step they take is in the wrong direction. There is no long time design philosophy. It is mor elike "Uhh WoW seems to be succesful let try to make SWG more like WoW).
Also to much priority is given to how things looks like instead of gameplay. A majority of new loot and rewards has been decoration. SWG is really great for those who think it is fun to decorate your house.

I'd didn't even wait that long I cancelled about 2wks into CU!
But this NGE all I did was look into the forums to see for my self what it was all about and well I still didn't change my mind leaving.
My only regret was that I never learned of EVE before

I quit SWG shortly after the CU last June. It's really a crime what they did to that game. I was a fairly famous crafter on Tarquinas (Sinclare) and was one of the first to make the 44+ FR crafting stations. I had a good rep, was enjoying the game, making more than enough money to support my "Other" account which I was having fun fighting things with. I had played since launch then they just go and completely screw the veterans. I ended up giving up one of my accounts away and my other account with huge hordes of ore/houses/money just died a faded out death.
Such a crime.....*NEVER AGAIN* SOE

Man, I am going on over 2 months now and I am having a blast. ANd what some of the other guys said I agree with: Non-consensual PvP is where it's at. No lame AOL-using carebear game here. It keeps you on your toes and is always a thrill even when ya get podded (been podded only once so far ). One thing guys though training wise. Get some skills you can work with like battlecruiser/mining so your not bored for the first couple of months and when ya got something to make a decent living with, train up the learning skills and the advanced skills and then train all the good support skills like mechanic, engineering, electronics and gunnery THEN train the big ships like battleships. Best long range goal. With the learning skills and the advanced learning skills you will cut down your training to nearly half. A person with +10 Willpower and +10 Perception will take 8 days to train from Cruiser lvl 3 to lvl 4. A person with +18-20 in the same attributes will take maybe 4.5 days.....now add all the training you will be doing to get all those cool ships and efficiencies up...long run you are a winner with LOTS more skills than the low attribute guy with the same time ingame.

Another SWG/WoW/MXO/Generic MMORPG Exile here. Draven's the name, Bria's where I gamed. I was one of the best Bounty Hunters up on the server until the NGE killed Jedi hunting. I was a beta/release player as well until SOE decided to take an active policy in screwing over their own players.
I think I remember bumping into you a few times at the terminals on Naboo (forgoten the name of that city now, you know the one!). I was a Zabrak MBH/MC on Bria, Agricola Augusta.
Welcome to EVE, I left SWG just before the Combat upgrade/revamp/balance/whatever its name was that month! Just to let you know bounty hunting is a viable profession in EVE, and probably the toughest (few can make it turn a profit without dabbling in something else). If you need any assistance send an EVE mail.
SWG has more bugs than a vagrants groin, and smells worse! And as for the CSRs? they all moved to India (I'm not joking) and SOE DEVS = 1000 monkeys sitting at computers banging away at the keyboards (no offence intended to any monkeys out there) with Smedley waiting for them to produce WoW 2.

I'm not from SWG but just wanted to add this is what I love about Eve :
Some corps have a "recruitment bonus" like if you recruit someone and they end up staying for 2 weeks you can collect a reward, usually its a few mil. So you can literally sit in a base, just remote trading all day long, while scanning the recruitment channel for potential recruits.
You don't even leave base but you're a powerbroker, dealing in people and commodities.
If I had to say one bad thing about this game, it is agents.
Instanced content is bad for the game. There should be nothing instanced, nothing deadspaced, it makes the game feel like an amusement park.

Agricola eh? I knew a guy named Agricola in SWG. I hadn't seem him on pre/post NGE though, were you by any chance affiliated with a guild that was lead/affiliated with a player named WXGunny?

I came from Intrepid. Played SWG since launch and had 3 accounts back before CU. Dropped 2 of them after that and now dropped the last one with NGE. It just amazed me how they could take such a widley popular game and destroy it with CU and them make sure it was destroyed by following it up with NGE.
Have a great day everyone.

Whewww... so many posts.
Just saw this thread and thought I would chime/check in.
Played Keg, formerly of Wanderhome
ex-Master Force Crafter
ex-Master Armorsmith (and before that ex-Master Shipwright)
unlocked
Also played Celisus
Was so demoralized of the NGE I couldn't even force myself to log in and pack up my houses/shops/factories.
Got here as quickly as I could.
Now roaming around in Gallente space hunting rats (4 days in from starting up a paid account after my trial was up).
While the idea of getting in with a refugee corp sounds interesting and attactive I'm shooting for an established 0,0 (large) corp so I can find out how the big boys play.
(I'm working on a pure combat toon.)
Cheers!

Hello all.
Im thinking about leaving SWG to start playing Eve to replace my SWG time. What really stands out that would make me make the final jump away from SWG. I like this game so far but I cant find a concreat reason cut loose from SWG just yet. Share your thoughts.
(sorry Kefra not trying to hijack your thread just trying to finalize a game move :) )
Thanks all.
Dont, worry about hijacking the thread. This is a thread for all swg players who left or are considering moving due to the nge. I did not think it was still active.
I think Bermag in post 461 sums it up nicely, even for a more combat oriented toon as I was.
Other than that, I think CCP has implemented many good ideas and made a very good game while maintaining a good rapport with their customers. Something SOE has not.

I played SWG for a while, but not long (2 months) shortly after JTL. I recall at that time people being upset about the change in Jedi from needing to master several profs to simply completing some quests. Well either way, Lucas should fire and/or litigate SOE for not properly handling their franchise. Just my 2 cents. Been so long since I played SWG I don't even remember what server I played on.

Peace through FEAR! I am Sanguinous Rex, Dread Lord of the Pax Imperius, one of the most successful PA's on the Scylla server.
We were one of the first PA's to create our Guild Hall despite the fact that our server went online 2 days later then the other servers. I have absolutely no idea why I did not check out Eve Online when it first was released, but as they say "Better late then never!" As a very successful PA in SWG, I am revitalized in the knowledge that Eve is a new universe ready to be taken. Yes, we have a few years of "catch up" to go through, but this 'verse is a fantastic 'verse, and you can just feel it in the air. We're still in SWG, and have no plans on leaving, but we are also a cross-MMORPG organization. I've heard a lot of mixed reaction about SWG.
With that in mind - Wow, I am in simple amazement that this thread has reached 16 pages. I have to say, someone should post a link to this thread in the official SWG forums to show (at least before the thread gets closed lol) the number of players leaving like a Biblical Exodus from the "Star Wars" MMORPG.

AFAIK, there are only three of us. You, me, and someone else who posted about ten pages ago.
I was hoping more of my old buddies and enemies would try this game, but it seems most of them decided to go for WoW instead. That's too bad, because they really don't know what they're missing out on.
EVE may not be a game where you get instant gratification right out the gate, but those who stick with it will find it just gets better and better the longer they play, as their abilities continue to increase. If you're in it for the long haul, it will reward you far more than SWG ever did...as long as you also realize that the content in this game is the player competition, not endlessly chaining mobs.

I beta'd EVE, but left a little after live, and went to SWG, and had been active since beta, until NGE which I disliked, but couldn't bring myself to leave. I finally reinstalled EVE, and reactivated my old account (very impressed to see it still there!) SWG will finally get cancelled this week.
IT's sad what happened to SWG. I remember going out with a few friends (real life friends as well) hunting, fishing, etc, and every now and then we'd throw a camp up, open some real beers and sit round the camp fire watching the world go by. You didn't even have to be playing to enjoy the environment. They killed that dead a long while ago though.
I'm enjoying EVE enormously since my return!

Kawabacca, NGE Wookiee smuggler (who can't smuggle), and Osse, launch day Mon Cal merchant, both on Starsider. I've played SWG on and off since the final pre launch beta. Loved the early potential of the game and the skill box based character progression. when space was added I was able to fulfill my dream of being a pistol wielding, starship flying merchant. But it's all come apart over the last 6 months. Heck I even tolerated the CU but the NGE just destroyed my enthusiasm. I kinda like NGE combat but can't stand what they did to crafting and professions... the crown jewels of the game imo. SWG crafting and all its dependencies was superb... *sigh*

Signed up for the 14 day trial a couple days ago and finished the tutorial last night. So far the game looks really cool. I've been looking for an MMOG like this that I can really get into again.

Brace yourself for a slew of new disgruntled ex-SWG'ers... Still no patch, producer's letter is out and as someone once said, "The natives are getting restless".
I bet EVE will tack on an extra 20k at least when all is said in done with the raping of SWG... Possibly more...

Hmm, lets recap the latest "possible" numbers of SWG.
gamer servers hacked; accounts logged and connected users tracked; prime time access made public:
Bria, formally known as the BIG server exists with 740ish users during primetime! Total across all galxies...almost 10,000 !
Julio Torres anounces "(~80%) of players still in the game were playing before the changes".
Many individuals in the gaming industry accept that a healthy game has about 20%-25% of the paying suscribers active during "prime time".
recap: 10k users during primetime. 20-25% of active subscriptions puts SWG near 40k-50k actively subscribed accounts!!
50k users @ 15.00 per month = $750k
Pre-NGE, SWG was suspected of having near 190k-230k and upwards of 250k subscribers. low of 190k equals $2.85mil per monthly subs. 250k equals $3.75m !
Ok, lets no compare the "loose estimates":
Sony Online Entertainment had been suspected of grossing 3.75million USD pre the "Star Wars Galaxies-new game enhancements" Pose-nge $750k USD.
SOE has lost 3 MILLION DOLLARS per month since introducing the SWG-NGE!
It is February, about three months after the NGE. How much do you think SOE is making of these "new and iconic Starwarzy and iconic charaters that are iconic and starwarzy"?
Too damned funny and a lesson to be learned to gaming studious.
Hats off to CCP!! You guys rock and I have never felt better about a gaming environment as I have about EVE! Your studio is a model for excellance. Post the SOE facts in your studios, all developers need to research this to ensure this mistake is _NEVER_ made again.

I started SWG when it launched. Years figuring out how to become a Jedi. Casual gamer here so once I became FS it took another year to finish grinding and become a full Jedi Knight. Loved the game. Had many friends and a great guild. Was loving PvP, events, the people.
NGE killed it all. My prize, my Jedi Knight (most I've ever accomplished in an online game and I've played UO, EQ, DAoC before) is CRAP. Not only too common now but also arguably the worst Toon in a blaster/ranged world. Hell I think Jedi are the ONLY melee based fighters in the game now. Thanks SOE. You took all my years of pride and work from me. I think the EULA should have it's limits and we should be able to sue.
XBOX FRS NGE... Since I'm playing from remote locations sometimes, I can no longer compete. With lag issues (and this game is the WORST) how the hell can I play an FRS? If I wanted that I'd play Battlefront! (and anyone that swears SWG isn't heading towards XBOX is smoking *****).
All my friends are gone. Our guild gone. My work gone.
They wanted a simpler system. An easy system. Don't they know being complicated is good! Look at EVE. I love EVE for that! I also love the fact I don't have to know my way around a console controller to play. No target reticles here. No finger mashing quick response needed. Just level headed decisions, clear mind, and the ability to grasp strategy and concepts. Plus I can play from anywhere! No lag.
Die SOE and go make console games and get out of the Online gaming world. You are ruining everything you touch. I wish I could sue and get my three years back.
Sorry about the rant but this is the single worst gaming experience I've ever had...

G'Day,
AussieXenu from Bria. I still log on from time to time, but crafting is just slowly losing its appeal to me in that system. I only got a glimpse of pre-NGE gaming for a few weeks at most, but EVE reminds me of that so much. The only thing keeping me in SWG at the moment is the first two letters. I haven't grinded my Commando in weeks, and my 3/4 alt toons on Chilastra have all but died.
I've only been playing EVE for about a month now, but i'm loving every second. It looks like it's going to allow me to be the kind of crafter/trader I wanted so much to be in SWG.
I mean, goddamn... Even WoW allows you to be able to make stuff and be capable of defending yourself as well!
Overall, EVE has my vote for a long time.

I was Nunda Kamachupa on Farstar (Sullustan TKM/Swordsman, member of Unity)
I left SWG two weeks after the NGE for lots of reasons, but the main one was this: my character looked really stupid wearing armour!! Sullustans have quite large heads, which makes helmets expand to deathstar-like proportions!
The new combat system was a mess, the professions were dull and lacked imagination, the server was deserted, all my friends were leaving.. the only reason I considered staying was for my house and for my character, which I'd become quite attached to.
When I started playing EVE I didn't think I'd get into it, as I missed having an instantly recognisable character, but I've gotten used to that now. I'd love to see an update that lets us personalise our ships, even just a little, but I can live with the game as it is. I love the way it's player-run, I love the way that we're not limited, I love CCPs attitude to the players.. there's just too many great things to list!

I can imagine things like paint schemes and trim might be difficult, but the one thing I'd really like to see is for the ships to bear your corporate logo.
That can't be too hard - they did it in Descent 2 after all. :)

my first post..i'm still in the trial period, but i'm going to buy at east 6 months when that expires. this game has really come a long way since i first tried it out almost 2 years ago, it's a lot fun.
anywho...i still play SWG, and i still ahve fun with it, but now I have 2 high end PC's, so i can play EVE and SWG at the same time :) I came from Eclipse Galaxy, and for now, EVE will get more of my time then SWG does.

hello and welcome,
i played in corbantis under the same name. what can i say?......soe really screwed up the star wars name. swg was an incredibly fun and super duper game prior to the combat downgrade.
the options for players to do or become whatever they want was what made it fun......i quit within a month or two of the cu and have not looked back once.
do yourself a favor and give eve some time.
1) join a corp
2) leave if they dont take care of you
3) only go into .4 and below space when you are prepared to die.
4) insure your ships and update your clone
5) have fun
this is an awesome game.....it just takes a few hours to realize for some people.

I'm from SWG. I will _NEVER_ go back. Ugh! SWG was my very first graphic online game and it still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth over MMORPG's in general. I played SWG for about 1 year or so. Due to kids and family and work, I didn't get to play as hard-core as I would have liked and I only got a level 30-something Jedi by the time the NGE F'd everything up (was about 2/3's done with an Aurillia Jedi). I sold the account to some guy in England for $2.12. Hahaha!
Actually, I take that back. I did play Ultima Onlina on a player run shard from Russia. Was a blast! I was almost tempted to keep playing SWG just for the Jump to Lightspeed, but I found about Eve Online and Star War Galaxies was history. On SWG, I mostly enjoyed playing the crafting professions - finding good resources, crafting quality items, underselling everyone on the bazaar and making bank by doing it. Thus, my eager anticipation of playing Eve. Although, I had heard about Eve before the NGE, I stuck with SWG out of emotional attachment to the Star Wars universe. Deep down, though, my emotions are based in space sci-fi, thus my allure to Star Wars and preference for Jump to Lightspeed. I took some astronomy courses in college (some of the best classes I ever took), and, let me tell you, for being a game, Eve gets bloody close to the real thing. Very cool.
Eve seems to fit my current life requirements soooooooooooo so so so so much better. I can play with my 1yr old son for 30 minutes. Glance up at Eve for 5 minutes, check the market, make a purchase, set autopilot to sell point and go back to playing with my son. When my son goes to sleep or takes a nap, I can run an agent mission or two. At the end of the day, I am a very happy Eve player, looking forward to doing it all again tomorrow. On top of it all, I set a skill to train, go out on a date with my wife, wake up the next day to a new "level" I've gained on Eve. It all works just too perfect.
With SWG, I had to decide which buff (pre-NGE) and/or food was needed for the MOB I was going to hunt, find somewhere to get it, then focus 90% on the game so I could get maximum usage out of that buff. That usually occupied 3-4 hours straight of SWG time. Bleh! What a crock. With Eve, I've watched the superbowl, paid bills, sold eBay, played hide-and-seek with my son, had sex with my wife, filed my taxes, read a book, watched japanimation, had family dinner, rented videos, went grocery shopping, shoveled snow, had sex (did I already mention that? haha! ) all while still "playing" Eve. Yea, Eve is gonna have me hooked for a long time to come. SWG? What was that game about? *snicker*

Yeah, I remember making it. I saw at work that my account had been activated. Later I transfered all my isk and stuff to this char from my trial account. Then I made the thread.
Now I have 2.3 million skill points and fly a battleship (which I really cant fly, but its safe for missions). I have lost ships in low sec and got away a couple of times too. I even lived in a 0.4 system for a while running missions, not losing one ship.
I have had someone tell me my ship setup was insane asking me if i liked dying? I had thought I was doing well until I changed my setup to a suggested one. Now I smile at how I had fought my way through all those missions with that insane setup.
I almost lost my battleship posting this. I have offered everyone I met in my corp a copy of the Pax Amarria (I currently have over a thousand). Did you know the M. in M. Corp stands for Minmatar? They dont want a copy of the Pax Amarria.
Now I want a Assault Frigate (something my skill poits will allow me to fly effectively) and at some point I will want to learn to PVP. Something I never really did in SWG.

Yes, well put. I just keep shaking my head when I see how they run the business. I wonder how it will turn out long term. I believe it will be mentioned as a major gaffe in game design and implementation, but both of them will get off relatively unscathed.

Wesos Orau from the sunrunner server here. I grinded this toon to jedi then sold the account on Ebay. After about 6 months former guildmates were begging me to come back, so I bought the total experience. It was decent. I could've lived with it. I lvled my new toon to 80, was half way with the FS grind again and then the NGE hit. I logged in a couple times but, not knowing what to do with a game I've played for over 2 years really really really ticked me off. Since then I've cancelled and have played WoW. Couple months into WoW and I've found it isn't a in-depth game. Its fun yes, but not really anything to do besides, instances, kill/deliver x of x to y, or lvl your mediocre trade skills. I still play WoW but have been looking for a GOOD mmorpg to play. Oh and by the way I'll be directing my old guildies to check out the trial game here. Hopefully we can all play the same game again.

Well I too am from SWG ... Starsider/Bria but I am acually not glad so many SWG fans are here. The reason is that it was our whinning and crying that brought about the CU in the 1st place and I had never seen a game with so many cry babies in it. PRE CU was the best most fun MMO of all time and we ruined it by whinning to much. I hope the same dosen't happen here. EvE is a awesome game with tons to do and it is hard enough to keep the children out, a big plus for me, and to make you think more then twitch.

SWG. Star Wars Galaxies.
How they managed to screw up a game with Star Wars in their name is really beyond me. If they just left it as it was it would've still kept a certain player base. It wasn't the best, there were bugs, the interface was crappy, fps was bad.. but it was Star Wars! For that alone you forgot all the other problems.
But with that NGE **** they just went over the line. Maybe they simply wanted to kill the game. Guess they've succeeded.
RIP SWG.

Under the same name on the Farstar Server and belonged to the BSC, which also has a corp here, so i joined their BSCA with view to qualifying into BSC proper.
In SWG i was a Master Marksman, Master Architect and Master Merchant...So i never stood a chance after the NGE!!

Name was Jetar on the Radiant Server. My speciality: Blowing jedi to hell for a price ;) I quit SWG after the "combat upgrade" back when they introduced all that cooldown crap I think like almost a year ago or something like that. I heard its gotten even more down the shaft since then. In anycase I didn't come directly here after SWG I went first to a game called Dofus and now am just starting out here.
Nice to see you all :)

Ex-SWG myself too. Started 3 months after release, beta'd JTL, RoTW, CU and NGE and in all honesty I have never before come across such poor communication to the community or even BETWEEN the community. Devs rarely answered posts, and those that did were flamed more intensely than Joan of Arc, new players were constantly derided and quickly moved on to other things, instead of bugs being fixed entire professions were nerfed or overpowered, constant fighting between players on the forums (mostly between BH and jedi), content was dismissed in favour of ever increasing amounts of new loot, the list is absolutely endless.
I gave the CU a chance, I gave the NGE a chance....both were a let-down. Yeah, I miss it. It was a big part of my life since being married and a father I don't go out as much as I used to and treated the game as a social thing mostly, and although it's kind of a sad thing to admit (perhaps...) I lost a lot of good friends because of the changes. I dabbled in WoW, EQ2, MxO, and even retro'd back to FFXI but to no avail. I DL'd the EVE trial the other day and REALLY like what I have seen so far (i.e. the tutorial cos it takes aaages! rofl) and have obviously now crawled my way into your forums Looking forward to meeting you all and hopefully making a bunch of new friends.
Here's to the future.

I was a pre-NGE player myself.... I'm pretty sure I was anyway, since I haven't the slightest clue as to what NGE means.
I thought SWG was awesome. I quit playing because I ran into financial trouble. That added to the fact that I was never home enough to play it (was in the Army).
Early last year I wanted to pick it back up but decided to see what all had changed. I asked around and every single person who I had played with before told me to avoid SWG like the plague, so I did.
I tried out WoW, but I played it about 5 times total. It's not very multi-player oriented. IMHO, it's a single player game with a lot of other players running around. (My opinion may have changed if I stuck with it...)
EvE is awesome. I played it for about a week on a non-trial, monthly based subscription and fell in loved with it. My next re-up was a year's subscription, that's how much I like EvE.

Bang on the money there mate, on all counts. WoW can be fun in a light-hearted, "I like to solo but have other players around sometimes" kind of way, but in all honesty after a few months (weeks, maybe days(!!) for hardcore grinders) there is little left to do except constantly raiding the same instances over and over and over and...you get the picture. And for what? Uber gear to sell on the AH for prices that only other ultra rich players can afford. I saw a pair of blue rarity cloth pants with some pretty much standard mods on with a level 17 req. on the AH a while back for......75 gold! The only level 17's I knew of that had 75 gold to spare were either ebayers or twinks. PvP is virtually impossible until at least level 25+ if you consider half an hour running from one end of warsong gulch to the other appealing. It's OK in small doses, but not something I could really get my teeth into, unlike this. Lord knows why I never tried it before but I'm sure glad I did!
On a further note before I retire to bed (is it really 4am already? damn, I've been on EVE for 9 hours!!! must get some sle.....ZZZzzz) I'd just like to comment on the newly released RFonline. More like advice for anyone considering it as I shelled out the 30 quid for it on release day after reading the description and scouring the forums( my pre-order beta key arrived the day before servers went live, how crap is that? Game got a severe ticking off for that!) and was under the impression that the system was extremely similar in vein to that of SWG pre-CU and I was drooling for it. Turns out it's a bit of a sheep in wolf's clothing (as opposed to a wolf in sheep's clothing) and basically equates to grinding groups of mobs day in, day out to get to level 30 and have the odd mass-battle to try and gain the right to mine some ore for a few hours, then rinse and repeat. I was extremely disappointed with it and just wanted to warn anyone thinking of trying it out not to waste your hard-earned unless you seriously enjoy hit, hit, heal, move on to next, hit, hit heal type of games. Stick with EVE guys, from what I'VE seen, it seems to be the most enthralling, involving MMO on the market at the moment and I for one will be spending quite some time here......maybe I'll last longer than my 3 years in SWG
Here's to the future.

quite SWG after 2 years with the start of the New Game Experience. been on Infinity a wookie master Creature handler and master Bio-engineer, which both was deleted completly from the game. was frustrated before from bugs, bugs, bad costumer treatment and all those kiddie Jedi. played SWG because i am a great fan of the old 3 movies (always liked Chewy and Han way much more than Luke). tried GuildWars and DDO(beta) , but fantasy is not my game. So i am back at SF, with a game i should have played from the beginning.

A rumor on the net says that someone has been able to reverse-enineer a working SWG Pre-CU!
It's still a work in progress, and last i checked they have gotten so far that they are able to logon with the existing SOE - SWG Client into the server.. But the server is empty, no cities and so on.
But, its a work in progress.. and its suppoed to be free!?

I played SWG from Beta until May 2004 and posted as electricnomad on the forums there.
The only character I ever really developed was Zuco Santeriia on Starsider. The PA I was in would stage biweekly attacks on Fort Tusken back when revives were rare and you had to spend 20 minutes walking there through Tusken-infested territory. That was SWG in its prime.
I'd have to guess that I was much better known to players through my posts on the Smuggler forums, though. A number of the former regulars on that forum have given EVE a try, which is how I ended up here.
This is my first try at an MMO since SWG, and I like it so far. I'd really like to find a large, well-established corporation, though, since MMOs are supposed to be about cooperation as far as I'm concerned. Send me an EVEmail if you have any suggestions.
Thanks,

It won't happen. SOE may not care much about the game or its players but you can bet that they'd shut down a private shard with all due speed and no mercy. You're talking about a major violation of all sorts of licensing. Hell, even if SOE turned a blind eye, Lucas Arts wouldn't.
And I can guarantee they'd never set up such a shard on their own.

I think I quit right around the time Light-Speed came out. I played the original X-Wing game to death though. I actually hunted for it for a while and found it a few weeks ago. I've been spoiled rotten by technology, the graphics were absolutely horrible compared to what we have in EvE. I didn't even finish a single mission before I Shift+Deleted the whole folder. I felt bad for it, I really did.
I'm not into these newer games but I'd love for them to come out with a newer and better flight sim that wasn't designed to follow one of the first three episodes TO THE LETTER. I mean come on, they didn't blow out ALL of their imagination, did they?

Still into SWG atm but we will see for how long. I just can't leave until I find a beter game. I'm seeing how the trial period will go.
But let's see, steps to destroy a game
1. 3 game systems in 3 years
2. Delete my skill set from the game
3. Kill crafters so they can no longer sell anything they make
4. make loot trump everything
5. reward the cry babies on the fourms by taking away any danger in the game so every 12 year old kid with a mouse can be uber
6. destroy the orginal time line and story line that the game is based on by letting 12million jedi run wild with no resitance
7.remove decay so every item last forever
need I go on?
I don't hate SWG but it sure would be nice to find something else, so I have high hopes for my trial here.
Wish me luck.

I was on Infinity, Char Polku TerDijk. Had a small and nice Shipwright Buissnes running. Its really sad, i was playing 1 year as the NGE hits and i kinda loved the game, but everytime a new publish got out things gone worse, with the NGE topping it. You all know it, taking away the cool way to dabble you skills, just plain decide what skill you want, having to work to get a jedi (was only half through the village), be able to chat wile in combat...
So after taking a break from MMORPGs and playing a lot of BF2 i stumbled accross a 14 day Trial advertisment, thats just like my SWG carreer started, back when the game was still fun...
Hope the devs here are smart and want to make and keep this a good game and never ever pull something like the NGE off, that was the most stupid thing i ever see a company do, i think i will never understand why they did that, only thing i can think of is they want to get us play other Games and ruin SWG.
So here i am, so far i think i like it, its complex and its huge, thats what i was missing in SWG :)

Having never played SWG I dont really know what your tlking about. but I'm bored at work so read through a couple of pages....
having read some I cant help but make the comparison between you folks and a litter of poor abandoned kittens (sorry if you dont like the annalogy :P)
well! EVEs the equivilent of the RSPCA (prolly a UK only thing sorry :P) :D
so I say: welcome! and enjoy your time here.
So far (only been playing for nearly 3 years) EVE's Devs and GM's etc have been the best I've ever seen. the new content they add builds on what was there before, not destroys it. so welcome to the warm cozy fire of EVE online :)
if any have questions mail me in game I'll get round to answering them :)

I'm started off as my first online adventure in EvE and then rolled ower to DaoC. Made a fast turn on SWG and looped ower City of Heroes. A long test period of WoW and topped that whit Guild Wars. The bookshelf is starting to get crowded.
And now to my own surprice im back att EvE again. Something about this game that i can¦t explain.

All this talk about the NGE thing is making me curious... Can any of you guys explain to me (or give me a link that explains it) in very "I have never played SWG" terms, what changed?
I can try to give you the short version, sure.
SWG was, at it's core, a turn based combat sytem in real time featuring a pretty open profession leveling system which allowed for skills to be dropped and new skills learned. Crafting and support classes, were at one time competent participants in combat, as it was possible to be, for example, a Master Weaponsmith (crafter), and a Master Rifleman (long range combat) and be able to make a very substantial contribution to guild hunts or PVP events.
Basically, there were enough skill point available to master two profession of your choice and enough to dabble into another field of your choice. The first change was the CU, which made the game level instead of skill based, which basically killed crafter hybrids, and doomed pure crafters and entertainers to a life without meaning outside of a crafting interface, and placed 100% emphasis on master two combat classes.
The latest change tried forcing a real time FPS style combat system on top of the old system, which has resulted in keeping every bug which plagued the old system and introduced a litany of new ones. The new change eliminated any and all diveristy between characters by pidgeon holing players into one, and only one profession, and condensing those choices from 32 down to 9. They went a step further and made what was originally end game content, "jedi" into a starting profession, so many that had spent years in attempting to progress towards the highest jedi ranks were now no more powerful or interesting to play than any basic starter profession. They eliminated all item decay or wear from use and/or death from the game, and further simplified and limited crafters while they were at it as well.
I did say I'd try to keep it brief, but thenm, you did ask for two years worth of agony too.
I am also a refugee.
I went to Guildwars, but they are messing that up as far as Im concerned so Im here now. It looks very promising, I think I will be here for years if they dont do any really massive rediculasly bad changes like SOE did to SWG.

Yes, we have the ASPCA. They have a good deal of political influence here as well. Last year, a guy in California was sentenced to 7 years in prison, over a road rage incident. Apparently he and some old lady collided. He was so mad at her, he grabbed her dog and threw it under oncomming traffic.

Typheon from Radiant here. A refugee from SWG as well, I didnÆt know there where so many of us. Been here in EVE for a while, but I never ran across this thread. I left just before the NGE, but I had forum access long enough over there to see what hell was unleashed upon SWG. ItÆs amazing how SOE could probably write the ôHOW-TO Ruin a MMORPG in 3 Easy Stepsö book and think they are actually doing well.
Interesting to see how many refugees actually made there way hereà

Server: Kauri
Purpose: l33t pilot
Was a veteran pilot in game and the reason I started playing. My buds and I rules our server's space lanes. Making it a galaxy where the Rebel Alliance pretty much won right after Yavin (The game was Star Wars, NOT Ground Wars after all)
Started losing interest as SOE wasn't interested with adding much to space. Stared getting ****ed at the release of the "Rage of the Wookies" expansion because it unbalanced everything in space and some good crafters got screwed as the whole l00t system changed in the name of n00bs.
Got so tired of SOE giving into the whiners. Got so tired of posers putting down space just because they couldn't hang up there. NGE I could care less about, but when "Trials of Obi-wan" came out and it didn't have space lanes to go with it, I was back to playing Mechwarrior 4.
This game brought me back to MMO's and unless another one comes out with this sort of open style and dedication to vision (as in doesn't listen whiners).
I hope we never have to deal with that in this game. When devs start catering to whiners and "balancing" things according to the whims of the masses, that spells the end of all existence.

SWG dissident here as well; doubt anying I say further about 'that game' will add to what has not been said here already. Was mainly a crafter and later a (freelance) pilot.
Honestly, wish I had discovered EVE several years ago so that I could avoided WoW and recently DDO (much to my deepest disappointment). Immensely enjoying the open-end and steep complex learning curve of this game.

Just found this thread LOL.. I played on Sunrunner from about Dec. 03 to just before the launch of Trials of Obi-wan.. after the CU i was having trouble adapting my play style to be enjoyable.
A large portion of my guild had migrated to this game and after a short stint back in FPSes and RTSes I came back into the MMO fold with this wonderous and glorious game. (We are a guild that has teams in multiple games).

Blizzard did the same thing to WoW. Simplification , nerfs to make no class better or different rather than the next (Other than obviously overpowered Fear chaining mass DoTTing Warlocks, and "I win" button of Shamans...played Horde btw), and all around filled with bugs, lag, bad customer support. EVE rocks though.

WOW, just tried to view the forums, to see what's going on and being said. Nope, you cannot access them anymore, without a paid subscription. The last time they did that, was just after release, when people were tearing it down on the forums....
For those who are intrested in what's being said on the SWG forums...
SWG FORUMS
You can thank me later for reminding why never to purchase another SOE product.
lol, I haven't laughed like that in a while... I quit SWG 4 months ago... or so... and joined EVE and I have to say it looks like I made the right choice. I followed your link Ominus and it looks like the Devs there are completely ignoring anyone who even hints at wanting a roll back to pre-NGE. Pity as that's about the ONLY way that game will ever get anywhere now. Truth be told, that game is dead to me, unless CCP royally messes up EVE I'm here to stay and wishing I'd never played SWG, although I did meet some cool people there, most of whom left before I did. What really made me laugh is someone suggesting as a new idea the old skills system pre-NGE as a way to make players more unique.

Did anyone see that Stars Wars mom on Wifeswap? She traded places with a family that had dial-up and she only brought the original SWG install dics! Comedy gold.
Half the episode was her staring at the monitor watching the game update.

Well hello everyone Majesty - Jedi and Stewiee Griffen - Squad Leader/Carbineer from Ahazi here. Started in 10/04 if memory serves me. Hopefully I've found my new home. I also left when the NGE hit, went to WoW with my guild. Not a bad game, but a bit simplistic for me. As I was browsing the SWG forums I stumbled across a thread which linked to this thread. You guys definitely give this game a ringing endorsement so I'm here to try it out. Starting my tuturiol now. /salute

Been playing EVE for a week and a half now SWG IGN Esoh Taewa Bloodfin the PVP server of servers PRE CU Full Temp Jedi Master Lightsabers/ DEF 4440/ ENH 3402 Healer 4000. I admit I still kept my SWG account because my guild on there rocks and I hate to leave them but my playing time between EVE and SWG now is 90% EVE 10% SWG and I believe the numbers will drop even more hehe. I'm still learning my way around EVE but its coming and I'm happy to be here,

I just came myself... I actually stayed for the nge until now, but the only thing i did was pvp. With nothing to fight for im gonna stick around here until bases come back I guess. I seen an article on bounty hunters and downloaded and purchased the game at that very second. I hope its a good system.
Oh yea BRIA FTW!

Left when the steaming pile of crap that is the NGE hit and have been looking for a new MMORPG ever since. I have tried Anarchy Online, MxO, WoW, CoV, Silkroad Online and RF Online. All pretty meh IMO.
10 days into the EvE trial atm and loving it, I think I have found my new gaming home .

2 year vet, wish i was around at launch
From the best PVP and biggest server aswell BRIA!
ign D'aren(MBH since tef days until SOE and the NGE ****ed in my beer!) Alts were Titto and Fishylips.
I guess all other servers are dead now. Bria is getting new server tranfers daily, we have even had a few guilds transfer over to bria in the last month.
On a planed night pvp is about 60on60 on average prime time we got roughly 20+ on 20+ better than the rest but still not comparable to our glory days... 200on200 getting a tear just thinkin of it
Anyway EVE is definately making me feel better. I just got the game last Friday and am enjoying it plenty. PVP looks amazing in this game, i cant wait to be able to jump in and fight with the rest.

ahhhh so many people from SWG. I was a two year vet... had Jedi prior to the CU. In many ways I feel lucky to have dervished before it got nerfed. I was kinda in a good mood till I saw this, then I realised how much I missed SWG, well the way it was. Words cannot do justice to what SOE did, their publicity spin and lies on the whole thing was funny though (funny in a "I want to kill you" kind of way).
I started playing EVE to fill the hole left by SWG, but in some ways EVE sort of lacks the community interaction that SWG had, but I think I need to join a player corp to be honest!
I occasionally play WOW, and we have a mixture of people from Farstar who were one time enemies... taken from many different Rebel and Imperial guilds, we all get along in WOW and occasionally get all bleary eyed about the "good old days".
One thing though, I've seen people complaining about CCP and the devs here, trust me compared to some, they are damned good.
Anyway, I am enjoying EVE, althoguh I lost my Brutix yesterday! hopefully I'll find a good player corp soon

Don't understand what made any of you play SWG in the first place.
Star Wars is practically a religion to those of us who grew up in the 80's, SOE took that religion and turned it into a theme park.
Its like if you create a game called "Jesus Online" where everybody gets to be a disciple. What do you get? If you have 360k subscribers, you will have 360k disciples, with all of them going "Waaah how come we have so many disciples, this aint right."
Its the same thing with Jedi. Jedi is supposed to be like 5-10 people in the whole universe, not 1/4 of the playerbase.
You can say alot about Eve. Its harsh. Its difficult. Its challenging. Its ruthless.
But at least here, if you hold a position of power, you EARNED it.
I hope Eve never lets whiners influence the game. Whining is what destroyed SWG, and pandering to the lowest comnmon denominator. All the dumb people are like "How come there has to be haves and have nots. How come we cant all be Jedi." And thats where the stupidity comes from, socialist thinking.

I started it all in ultima online, then on to a couple years of EQ. Then it was on to Earth and beyond (beta to close), SWG, and WoW. Now, I'm here.
I think my favourite, before eve, out of all those games was Earth and Beyond. I'm kinda sick minded though, since I enjoy doing mining and crafting in mmo's. :)

You're right, on all counts. But SWG was like that when I started - there were no Jedi at all and no one knew how to become one.
I think the beginning of the end was when they let the cat out of the bag and handed out holocrons.

I left Anarchy Online and played SWG on Corbantis as Raim (TALON) from day two, some time in June 2003 up until some time in 2005, then quit and went to COH with most of my guild.
So sad, that story. Game had so much potential but alas, I WAS warned about the evil that is SOE almost a year before swg shipped.
Mastered Architect, then got bored with corporate life. Went TKM/Master Brawler/Master Fencer and PVP'd in the name of the Rebel Alliance, which was loads of fun.
Eventually decided to grind Jedi and then mastered Carbineer/Fencer/Pistoleer/Image Designer/Marksman/Scout/Squad Leader/Rifleman/Smuggler and Entertainer at one point or another. Ended up quitting before I unlocked. I couldn't take any more of SOE.

Guess I can't really disagree as to where it ended up, but those first few months of the game there was so much potential and so much they could have done with it to make it a powerhouse. Instead they dumbed it down and nerfed it until it didnt hold any fun or challenge for me

Ditto.
Was a SW fan since i first saw it in the theaters in the 70s. SWG had a great potetial.
You know when a SW Fan liked the SW Holiday Special and Even Lucas had it removed and all but destroyed. It pretty hard to make something SW a Star Wars Fans will consider Horrid.

Just wondering, how many of us saw the light and stuck with EvE and are still playing since this thread was started?

I was less than a week away from unlocking Jedi when they brought out the first CU a week early.
Blew my stack at that and left in digust for a while...then came back and tried to get the last few boxes for unlocking, and then when i was under 1 box away, NGE came out and made the whole thing pointless
Found the Jedi had lost their uniqueness, there was no challenge to getting it..and the gutting of so many professions, which is one of many reasons I joined to start with. Then they come back with the adding of elites skills to jedi, which kinda nullified the point of removing all the professions.
What they did to the game, and the community is disgraceful. I for one will not play another SOE game as a result.
But this game, reminds me a lot of Elite, a game from my youth...played on a BBC B with a 5 1/4" floppy drive...

I was Tiwaz/Tregon on couple servers, can't remember names. I was guild MSW too... Damn I loved being crafter in SWG. Then they ruined the game. So I guess I have to start building up new crafting empire in EVE... As soon as I get my CC I'm off to pay for permanent flight lisence.

I cancelled my SWG account in march, and it wasn't because of the NGE.
I cancelled because the game never was, nor will ever be what I wanted it to be, which is the star wars universe.
I hated the jedi horde, I hated the lines of doctor buffs, I hated everybody wearing compy armour, and I hated that most people didn't even bother to try and keep the star wars feel.
Most of the people whinging about a rollback don't care about star wars, they just want the game they were good at back.
I realised that even the CU and the NGE couldn't stop players stomping all over my fantasy world, so I left for a world I cared a little less about, a'la Eve.

Since I left I went back to UO and have been waiting for PotBS to be released. I started EvE six days ago.

The NGE didnt really do anything to me since all I ever did was fly anyway. Space PVP in SWG is still as good as always.
EVE looks like its going to be alot deeper in combat tactics though. I just want to keep played SWG for the twitch dogfighting.
Now if only EVE were to come out with some kind of fighter-pilot expansion...

Another SWG casualty checking in. Ahazi server, Smiloo, master weaponsmith/harvester extrordinaire and Surloo, master TK/Pistoleer.
I left shortly after JTL. I enjoyed it, until I realized that X-Wing Alliance was still a much better game. Went on to WOW as a day one account. Finally got fed up with the guild bickering/40 man loot-whoring and tried EVE on the 14 day trial. Signed up with 10 days left on the trial!

Mandash Grim from Starsider - "The Unofficial Roleplaying Sever" - here. Loved the freedom and the concepts wrapped up in the initial SWG design. Never entirely were realized before they were scrapped. Have to admit I miss having an human avatar, and animated emotes, and ships with a view. Damn, I miss my YT-1300, with its rendered interior, interactive stations, and my crew. I miss my player city that we planned out in detail before SWG went live and built up even before city code was implimented.
But that's all ancient history now and Eve nails the important things SWG could only aspire to - meaningful economies, player driven politics and territorial warfare, flexible ship designs that aren't always an obvious A > B equation, and so forth. Not to mention the vast improvement that AURORA is over the "imagineers" of SWG. I think they were called that because we were supposed to imagine they really existed.

I came here from SWG, too. Can't remember the server.
I was Dusre. One of the 'New Players' that was going to 'Save the Day' by loving the complete lack of a skill system, absent customer support and in-game help that whittered on about how to use skills that had been removed from the game months before.
I went through the missions and got my character (one of the new NGE bastardised Jedi wannabes) up to the low 40s level wise before getting sick of not being able to do anything other than hit things and nick their stuff. Even when I played UO I could do some crafting even if that game did get destroyed by the composite bow farce (IMO). |

SWG:CU was and prbbly always will be my favorite game. I unsubbed very shortly after the NGE went live. SWG:CU was ******* beautiful. SWG:NGE stinks of old cheap LucasArts games.

Sure it does. Fly an interceptor.
In SWG you used a joystick for space flight, not click on a point in space. Was more of a flight sim. I think this is what he means.

Also ex SWG, damn SOE! Played on Ahazi also as Sjonnie D, quit within a week of NGE! glad i didn't purchase trials of Obiwan! saved me having to claim a refund!! started just before CU happened and loved the game, plenty of freedom to do anything with your character, the ability to play solo or in groups as and when you wanted, player bases, crafting etc..... NGE turned it into a console game!
Came here via DDO, found it to samey and restrictive. Not enough scope to keep me interested
Found EVE now same kind of thing as SWG, plenty of scope and freedom, not just stuck to killing endless hordes on monsters! Played the 14 day trial for 5 days before signing up! loving it!!

A friend convinced me to play SWG with him for a month. Previous to that my only experience with MMOs was the eve 2 week trial. All I can say is sometimes it takes a bad game for one to really appreciate how good a great game is.

I guess I'll add myself to the list. I was Falin on the Kettemoor server. Played since Day 1. Quit when the CU hit, re-activated when Rage of the Wookiees hit but spent 99.9% of my time in space, then quit forever a week or so after the NGE.
Loving Eve so far.

Efix Lordana here from Farstar. Been gone from SWG since november 2005 when that dreadfull NGE hit. Up till then I sucked up the CU, as I was mostly a roleplayer (Ran the Desert Sands Regiment Stormtrooper PA). But the NGE made even roleplaying a drag, so I decided to quit. I had already trialed EvE but I picked up WoW after leaving SWG.
That game was a big refreshment and really opened my eyes as to what I endured under SOE's complete mismanagement and blatant *****of a once innovative and beautifull game.
I also reactivated my EvE trial again, and joined the corp of some of my old roleplay advisaries of Smugglers Keep (Hutt loyalist webels! Blast em!). Feels like coming home. I divide my time a bit between WoW and EvE now, but the space setting is my favorite.
Mining, chatting with my friends, and listening to SomaFM.com's Spacestation shoutcast stream in the background (shameless plug) is bliss.. love to be here, wont be turning back to SOE ever again.

Much like Efix above me I'm a refugee, even from the same community as he. To top it all I even served in his regiment under the alias of lt. Jorran Trigit. It's nice to see old buddies still out and about on the net. Cancelation followed the NGE along with a re-activation of EVE. Found me a damn good corp and found that community feel I used to feel back in SWG.

I was one of the Hutt loyalists from Smuggler's Keep Efix mentioned: Keianna Whitesun on FarStar. I remember him and his troop of domeheads very well , it's really a shame to see the game going down after the NGE. And the NGE was the reason over which I quit, it just wasn't the game I loved anymore. If I wanted to play an FPS I would have gone and played Counterstrike or something.
Only joined EVE recently but I love it, makes me think I should have joined long ago.

Mechanics- I play chess and Star Fleet Battles. For those of you who play either (or both ) you probably realize that means I love the customization and flexibility. A masterful system that's elegantly simple in its basic design (a few attributes, they interact, but you can choose just about anything to make those attributes what you want), but incredibly complex, rich and varied when you get down to the nuts and bolts. I love it.
You may not realize this but there's more than a few of us who know what ADB is, and who SVC is in game. As for PvP, no self respecting player who knows what a saberdance is, or a proxy monkey, or what a overrun is (my personal favorite) should have any issues with it, as it's of course simpler than that. Though I constantly want things from SFB like spearfish and ATG Magnum drones :)
At any rate have a look at my bio, you're one of the few who might understand the first line. Heh btw the KOTH in our CEO's name, the K has a lot to do with Kzinti :)
mmm, spearfish drones. :D It's true, it's a lot simpler in EVE (it kind of has to be) but there are some basic precepts that are very similar. Sort of like "The Cadet's Game". You gotta manage your power, shields, hull and weapons systems, and find the times you can use them to maximum effectiveness.
Overrun is one of my favorites as well. And it's always fun to death-drag your opponent's drones/SPs and watch his frustration mount. I was once getting the living snot beat out of me and in desperation pulled a HET and overran the guy. I got three full OL torps into his hull at the perfect range.
Now if EVE had tractor beams...
Ah fellow SFB players! InspGadgt formerly of Black Sheep Squadron and Branded Fleet here...I agree the missiles/rockets/etc here does bring back fond memories of SFB drones, scatterpacks, and whatnot.

I was a Master WS and was lvl 54 rifleman before the "upgrade".
Then when they re-made the entire game so that i was a lvl1 WS (which ment i got instakilled by frikkin rats) and made crafting pretty damn useless (since all loot was better then the crafted stuff) i quit. Thats a nice way to treat their veterans by screwing up everything :/

I completely forgot about posting in this thread.
I played SWG for a bit. Played on Shadowfire, from the day that it was created, for a year and then moved to Test Center. I left the game over a year ago, right before the NGE, and have been playing EVE for about the last 7 months. I had 6 toons on Test Center, all skilled up the old fashion way, long before the frogs.
I miss the communities that I was a part of, in SWG, however LA, through SOE, took all of the potential that the game had and turned it into something that it was not. I've not played under the NGE and I have no desire to do so, especially now that it looks like crafting is going under the knife.
I was born a Droid Engineer, and I left the game as a Droid Engineer.
I was known as Drashk.

I don't even want to talk about CU or NGE, but I do think I've fallen in love with this game. I've dug through dozens of MMO's and related information and this is the only one that appealed to me.

Ahhh SWG, I had some amazing times in that game.
Aidelon from Flurry here :)
Those of you that checked the forums might remember me as Gunman21, pikeman correspondent from dec 03-sept 05. Nearly two solid years of forum interation, countless essays and bug/issue/feature reports, all in the name of trying to make pikeman a better profession and SWG in general a better game...not to mention the correspondent summit in 04 which was just a blast.
I miss what that game once was. I recently renewed my account for a month, but Flurry is a shell of what it once was. Hardly any players, and the content was attrocious. It's very disheartening that 3 years into the game they're still talking balancing and fleshing out classes and so forth. For the longest time I was the biggest SOE fanboi around, defending them so hard. But the NGE killed that...Although I understand thier intentions with NGE, it was the wrong choice.
Anyways, I'm happy with eve. It says a lot that thier subscription numbers have increased over the three years instead of declining. And the game is making continuous strides forward and very few backwords.
Anyone from flurry or that knew me on the forums or just wants to talk about the good times in SWG feel free to msg me in game - game name aidelon :)

I was Gribble on Intrepid, founding mayor of the player city Galdor.
I started a few weeks after launch and played until right after JTL...then went over to EQ2, then WoW. Splash EQ1 in there a few times (first time in summer 2001) and now I'm in Eve.
I loved the idea of SWG. The execution was usually terrible, with hope around the corner. But as the focus of the game turned to Jedi and then to the various massive changes, it became less and less the sandbox that we early folk loved. The NGE buried the wonderful (but flawed) game I played for good.

For me, it was 3 strikes and out against SWG. I quit with the CU, played here for a while. Then, SWG still not out of my system I went back and got bored again real quick. Then....the NGE. Methinks it is all out of my system now.
Anyhow, I was Bradshaw Lightyear on Ahazi, maker of excellent grinding weapons and later maker of incredible starship parts. I enjoyed fighting and helped run a guild called Galactic Insurgency (GI) in 2004. I enjoyed helping newbies, even as a newbie in 2003.
Changes in the game have made that lifestyle impossible. After the introduction of the combat level system with the CU, interaction between different level players seemed to disappear. It was impossible for a CL80 player to help a CL1 player get XP.
The NGE killed the entire concept of a half crafter/half fighter. I was "downsized" from SWG. Let go. A Dinosaur, no longer wanted or needed.
I was also Bradius on Shadowfire, who set up a thriving business in the ultimate merchant city in any of SWG's servers (Brenn on Naboo). Changes to the game caused the population on that server to go so low, I spent more time back on Ahazi. Eventually something happened that caused me to not be able to logon to Bradius anymore, and SWGs response was delete the character and create another. Not acceptable, so I just abandoned the character so that my building that other players had merchants in would continue on, and they could still use it. Great Customer Service there SOE .
Anyhow, anybody from Ahazi or Shadowfire that knew me or knew of me, I look forward to hearing from you. I can also give you a hand getting started as well, I am not totally new here. I can be reached through Spartan Caldarius, Sunnie Pruett, or Tesla VonBraun.
I was Jenny Flowers. I was a founding member of Brenn. Before that, I had a shop with the founder of Brenn, Arsenal. We got master weaponsmith on the same day, and I think we were one of the first 10 to make master ws on the server.
I left quite some time ago, so I wouldn't be surprized if no one remembers me. I used to make melee and Krayt weapons though.
EVE's dedication to their customers and minimal nerfs makes it 100x better than SWG. Along with being a more original and better game.
Hope you all enjoy EVE!

Was Zenpa'Sin on Tarquinas.
I loved that game for the first year but once the holocron maddness came out everything started going down hill... I personally dont understand how SOE could get itself in that hole and just keep digging itself deeper and deeper. It was a sad example of whats wrong in the game making industry. I will not buy another SOE product. I was interested in Vanguard but I saw that SOE has a small part as the publisher and decided against it. I know they are not making the game or supporting it but I dislike SOE that much... I know many that feel the same.
I still miss making those FWG-5's and calling them the Z-Specials.

Member of the High Council of Rebels Red Circle based on Talus.
I was also the last carbineer correspondent known as _scout_ on the squad leader and carbineer forums and became one of the first senators during the changes from the old professions to the new classes.
I started PRE CU shortly after the village hit, stayed during the CU and transitioned my guild as well the remains of my two chosen professions through the NGE changes but as soon as I could lay down my responsibilities toward my guild and the forum community I left.
Tried out Eve, DAoC, DDO, DnL in between, came back to a second Eve Trial to give it another try and am in now since a couple of months.
I had to reduce greatly in playtimes since SWG but I like Eve so far and am greatly looking forward to Kali.

I left SWG 3 days after the CU Test servers went up. I had 2 accounts, and had spent about 4 months really digging in for becoming a Jedi. I had begun the process of pursuing the Jedi skills, and may have stuck with it, but word was out that jedi would be "reduced" in the future. Also, I was beginning to think I may be developing carpal tunnel, from all the crafting to earn those precious Jedi skill points. I think at one point I calculated it would take close to 2 million mouse-clicks to finish the skills needed.
I must say, I do miss the concept of different minerals/materials affecting the quality of your product. It was kind of neat that you could find something every once in a while, that would make your products even better. :)

Anyway, I was on Radiant. Chars were Jalinsol (Master TK, Master Chef) and Beech Richards (Master Doctor).

Haven't seen this thread before, so I may as well post here now. I played SWG from launch day until the Combat Up(and by up we mean down, way down)grade. I mastered 13 or so professions, favorites were Pikeman, Rifleman, and Pistoleer-BH. I was also a Jedi (village Jedi). Name was Grinch Shingle on Ahazi. Guilds: STAR, SG, and one other guild...SHDWS or something like that.

Left EVE in June 2003, for SWG...after NGE I left SWG...no MMO's for a while, now I'm back for revelations.
Was on Gorath server...
I agree with the poster who mentioned the quality of resources affecting your products. That would be neat in eve.

Chilastra then Starsider
I played from shortly before the CU up to the NGE. Mastered every profession in the game, had too much money, too many items, then the NGE hit, and I couldn't even get out of my house! Followed my guild over to WoW, where I did that crazy grind to 60. Was 60 for about a week, and decided I just wasted my time, so I went back to SWG, but this time payed for the character transfer w/ items over to Starsider. Played there for about 3 months, then had enough.
This is my 3rd attempt to play EVE, but this time I'm loving it. I think before I was still wanting SWG to be pre-NGE and still kicking myself in the rear for playing WoW. EVE will be my last MMO, and I'll play it until it's shut down. Just wish EVE was the first AND only MMO I played. Would have saved alot of time and money.

Played SWG from launch until very early CU, and hated it! Left. Came back in late CU for a brief visit and still hated it. Came back again shortly after NGE launched and saying that I hated that would be far too kind. I thought it was total rubbish!
Discovered EVE last year and enjoyed it but played for only a month, got bored and played single player games for awhile. Returned to EVE at Christmas and have been loving it ever since!
I think EVE is awesome!
edit: I nearly forgot to add, I was Iwen Molidi on the Kettemoor server.

Refugee from Keetermoor galaxy with toons named Crestingmoon (master architect), Vateh (master droid engineer, Seuva (master chef) , and also a master arms/armor maker. Also had a toon in Europe farstar that was a master jedi member of SOL. If anyone known from the game is here, contact me and lets catch up. This is a wonderful game and it has real possibilities which were killed in SWG by NGE and the stubborn developers in that game that forgot the players in their decisions!!!

I played SWG since launch up untill the day CU launched. I loved every bit of it, I loved it for its complexity. Ever since then I have been searching for a MMO that is actually HARD and complex... It seems I have found it here in EVE. ive only played it a few days and I already love the challenge of it!

Originally by: Bermag
I did. Bermag from Wanderhome.
Have been playing SWG since august 2003 but now I had enough of SOE's bad treatment of their customers. I don't mind the NGE combat style that much, but they also did away with a lot of that was still good in SWG (crafting and player economy and diversity of character development).
Wow the bermag I used alot of your weapons back in the day, I stoped playing SWG about 1 week before JTL went live charecter name was Zabin was a member of DSL and ELITE not sure if you remember me been a long time. Drop me a line ingame (judius)if you need help with anything, good to see you again :)
Nice isn't it? I was a wanderhome SWG player as well, and I too used weapons from Bermag (And from DK (Dia Kiem?), don't know the full name anymore, only the initials). Funny to see all these old SWG'ers here.
I actually tried EVE three(!!) times before, but each time it came to me as too unpersonal compared to SWG. But after being let down by WoW, GuildWars and other sci-fi related MMO's, I recently got back here, and liking it a lot so far.

I played on Euro-Chimaera server from launch to early CU, name was Codus Ossiri. I was in a small Imperial guild, and did a fair bit of PvP when I was combat-specced (Master Fencer/Pistol, Swords/Doc, Fencer/Doc, Swords/Rifleman). Eventually raised enough cash and entered weaponcrafting and minerals. Was a fairly well-known weaponcrafter (rares) and mineral trader.
Didn't feel the expansions were worthwhile in the end, but considering going back for a month to see if it's improved at all. |

Lo there folks,
Another fellow SWG Refugee here from Starsider. I played Govannen Darkstar, and was, among other things, a one time member and eventual leader of the 488 LED. I've been meaning to try Eve for ages, and have had friends urging me to play and at long last I have given in, and I'm definately here to stay. I look forward to finding some long lost friends and enemies as I make my way through the Eve Universe.
Regards,
Gov
