Star Wars Galaxies

i hear it all the time.

SWG was awsome pre-cu....

what happend? whatd did they change?

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...

I dare say that a thread with this name comes up once every four months here.

There are at least half a dozen similar threads back a few pages.

In essence, preCU was SWG as it was originally published, in June 2003.  In April 2005, the CU ("Combat Upgrade") revised SWG, imposing levels, radically altering some professions, and in general ditching a lot of the original design features. Six months later, the NGE "New Game Enhancements" was published which turned SWG into the steaming pile of bantha poodoo it is today.

@ver: thanks il start reding that asap

@sio: bah once evey 4 months is not that bad compred to allot of topics apearing every day :)

the pre-cu was the greatest system ever made

you had 32+ professions to pick and match from

i myself before getting jedi was a tka/fencer a great pvp template that was very well balanced for pvp and pve even tho pve is lame.

you also had a great jedi system after pub 9.

the pre-cu was the dream of every mmo player and it was stolen from us to make star wars fanbois and fanbots happy. oh wait only under 5k of them play the nge now. i guess we should go back to the pre-cu.

Pre CU was a very buggy and broken system that caused lots of players to constantly moan on the forums and SWG kept losing subs because of this so they felt the need to change the combat system twice with the CU and NGE to try and fix this but they failed and made the game worse.
 

On paper pre cu was great but under SOE/LA development it was shit.

That letter made me sad and angry : (

It reminds me how fun a MMO can be.

Spoken like the NGE target audience...

Pre-CU had problems but it remains the single best mmorpg experience I've ever had. I've played just about every mmorpg on the market and none of them have come close to the pre-CU swg game.

SOE tried to fix nothing. The CU/NGE was their response to WoW. The changes were done to attract more players. Yes, pre-CU was bugged and parts were broken but it was still a popular game. As far as people moaning on the forums, the game could have been perfect but some people would still complain. Thats the way of the web...

yeah. SOE like to backstab there vets...
