Wow. What a journey SWG has undergone! from the lofty heights of the first combat system to the muck and mire of the Combat Upgrade (which was still playable) to the NGE, which has anahilated any remnant of what was once a playable game. N early 20 playable job classes were sent to the grave leaving 9 butchered "iconic" classes that are merely shells of their former selves. Alpha class are now sad decrepit shells of their former selves. CSR's are flooded with flames and hate mail. Playability has gone from enjoyable to a nightmare
"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, "How can we do this and not make another EQ?? We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen." - Julio Torres, Leader of the team that developed the NGE
