What happens when a pretty great MMORPG goes terribly and horribly wrong: Review of the Post-NGE SWG.
The Jedi System - Guess what? Now everyone can be a Jedi. That's right folks. All you SWG players who slaved away at either Holocrons or The Village can now bash your head againist a wall. Now everyone gets the class you worked so hard for.
The Classes - Remember the cool Teras Kasi Master profession? Gone! Remember the original and nifty Creature Handler and Bio-Engineer fun you used to have? Gone! Basically, SOE removed most of the classes and now you get a generic range of professions that didn't get the axe.
The BH System - Ah Bounty Hunters, all the fun they used to have gunning down the player Jedi. Not only did it help keep down the Jedi population, it was really fun. Now, thats removed. Mix this in with the fact that everyone can be Jedi and you got a real dumb*** move.
Ultimately, SWG's greatest days are gone and now forever buried under the crapfest that is NGE. I would give Pre-CU/NGE SWG an 8.2 rating while NGE gets what you see before you. SWG used to be a lot of fun but now thanks to the NGE, it is one of those MMORPGs to stay far, far away from.
