What makes the current SWG (Star Wars Galaxies) sucks?

[Grover19]

I am always interested to play SWG, I never had a chance, recently I have the chance to play! But many people said that SWG sucked now with many reasons that made me confused, can anybody please explain to me??

Usually when you hear someone state that "SWG sucks now" they are people that haven't played the game for four years.

It was four years ago that SWG went through a drastic change in gameplay which alienated many of the players, many of who never got over the change and continue to spread negativity about the game to this day.

I can't say I blame them, the change in gameplay four years ago was probably the biggest mistake in MMORPG history, but SoE seem to have learnt from it.

They make sure that they listen to the community now and the game is vastly improved from that day four years ago with tons of new content and fun systems.

Dont take my word for it though, or the word of disgruntled veterans from several years past, try it yourself for free and make up your own mind: WELCOME TO THE STAR WARS GALAXIES™ TRIAL PROGRAM!

I was one of those people that was upset with SoE when they changed everything while straight out lying to the players about what was happening. I quit for 2 years then used their bribe to come back and try it out, which I still disliked the game.

I returned earlier this year and played until they closed my server (wanderhome). I thought the game was fine, but with my friends spread out across multiple servers and the announcement of Bioware creating a new Star Wars game I just packed it in for good. I have no resentment toward SoE anymore, they have learned from their mistake and are trying hard to make the game the best it can be.
