Too bad for every one thing they fix, they break two more, not to mention the lack of content, or the people leaving in droves to play FF XI, or Tiddleywinks, or anything with more gameplay value.

Asheron's Call 1 is still my favorite.

Monthly updates rule!

SWG has incredible potential, but it's not ready yet. I've built one character up pretty high and gotten tired of combat. Now I've got a pure business character that I'm having some fun with. The player based economy there is a game unto itself, and it can be a lot of fun to try to make money.

Yeah another vote for SWG, tons of depth and forced player interaction. I personally cant stand an mmorpg that you cant own a stake in, owning land/vehicles/etc is a must for me. Otherwise whats the point in just running around killing things.

Asheron's Call is becoming that way.

Lots of people are using a third-party plug -in to allow them to run a "Trade-bot" to buy and sell wares.

I bought the game and played since the first day. Then I decided "this is boring as hell. I quit." Out of nowhere, I started playing again. It's a lot of fun when you are playing with friends. It's also fun to spend large sums of money (sold a holocron I looted for 7.5M credits).

not to hijack the thread, but what servers are you guys playing SWG on? I am on Valcyn.

Amish, remember that first snowfall? there was NO PKing on Darktide for the first hour!!! EVERYONE was just running around having fun with each other. I remember i took a whole bunch of gifts for my friends at our house at the tower near Qaalabar

I'm Roukk, the creature handling Trandoshan Imperial ranger on Tarquinas. I'm also Donah Pisme'Of, the master artisan/droid engineer/architect/merchant Bothan on Bria.

My girlfriend plays also. She's Chaccakkan the Wookiee chef on Tarquinas and Tays'ti the dancing Twi'lek on Bria.

So is FFXI worth the $40 + $15 a month? Finals are over.. need something to do.

 

[CT2TXtech]

I think it is. 15 dollars a month for entertainment. Cant get better than that. It def worth it, and addicting as hell. Its my 1st MMORPG and i cant stop playing it. I only get to play in the middle of the nite
GO get it!!!

I bet'a and got the game yesterday, but won't have time to play it in the next few weeks, grrrrrr

i thought game testers make only like $12/hour at most. that isn't a living, but good if you are a student! are you a game developer? if so i have some q's for you.
