Star Wars Galaxies, what happend?

I was reading the SWG forums and from what I could accumulate from the little information, Creature Handlers are being taken out of the game and all that good stuff. If anyone knows what's happening please update me.

Something about only 7 templates to chose now (smuggler, bh etc.) instead of loads of cool professions 🙁. My subscriptions ran out so I cant check :/

Every job is now being magically transformed in being a jedi because of complaints and lawsuits.

Glad I listened to my friend and switched to World of Warcraft before all this happend.

Ugh. WoW sucks. I friggin' hate that thing. I have lost friends to that game, and it's not even that good.

Exactly. The Matrix Online was pretty Dope and City of Villians.

The reason I switched to WoW was because my friend said the PvP was better than Galaxies. Being a Hunter is WoW is almost like being a Creature Handler in SWG, which is another reason I like it.

I hate WoW for being too basic and horrible looking. For a company that brought us the gritty, dark world of Warcraft, the game looks like a cheap cartoon deal.

And it lags like hell.

It doesn't lag as much as SWG does. The graphics aren't too bad IMO. I think the real fun part of WoW is just going to a lowbie town and killing everyone.

Exactly why I hated it. It's a hack and slash online deal. Who the hell wants that? I like objective based gameplay. I would have liked real wars going on back and forth. Neither game offers on that one.

SWG had pretty big scaled battles, and in WoW you could always do Battlegrounds or go questing. Battlegrounds has two teams of ten and it's pretty much a capture the flag sort of thing. What do you guys think of Lineage 2?

What about Guild Wars? It has a lot of objective-based stuff, and it also basicly requires team work, with some PVP whenever you want. Plus no monthly fee.

Nowadays WoW supports full PVP and Battlegrounds. SWG has a HUGE war going around, it's really exploded.

I tried Guild Wars for a little bit. It didn't really catch my intrest, the PvP is alright, but I didn't like how you're only with other players when you're in towns or in groups.

Yeah, that is a bit of a letdown, but on the bright side, more monsters for your groups, means more xp, and less of them n00bs takin' your kill. Y'know, when the monster has 2000 HP, you lower it down to 1 HP, and this stupid 8 year old comes and takes it and says "yeh im the best i killed this lvl [insert random number] i rule u suxors".

Hasn't happend to me yet, but I have had people steal my missions in SWG. WoW doesn't have the maturity level of SWG which is a bummer because I hate rolling need for something and people that want it start yelling at me because I don't need it. No one in that game knows anything about other classes but their own. I hate when people end arguements with "its fine l2p(Learn to play)", or "lern ur class nub".

If I could be strong enough to leave the bloody Mos Eisley area I might have noticed a war going on.

What a sucky game if you can't even leave Tatooine..
You know what would be even more sucky? If you were to become a jedi.

If you die three times you have to start all over again. Even if the server crashes. I'd rather be some bounty hunter in that case.

Hahaha! Yeah, my friends are even not going out because of that game. And when they do.. They are all talking about WoW in the pub. It's quite annoying.
