I have met quite a few people that did and I am actually curious how many more actually played that.

I wanted to try it but couldn’t get in until they screwed everything up with that overhaul, so I didn’t linger. I still play SWTOR occasionally, that game had all the potential in the world but I keep coming back to this.

i came to WoW from Lineage II

I came from SWG. The NGE aftermath. I tried sticking with it, but when Smed announced no rollback, I decided I just couldn’t continue handing them money for this. Then, my friend told me about WoW.

I played SWG. Quit as soon as WoW came out.

I played it, but did not come to WoW from it.
I hopped from DaoC to WoW.

I did and there were a lot of things that were succesful in SWG that I think could work in Wow such as individual housing; guild housing communities; personal traders.

Played swg from launch until WoW came out. Did not like when SOE changed the game.

I could see an instanced guild/personal hometown but not just placing houses wherever people saw fit. Game would just look odd with houses spread about.

i did. left sometime around the jedi village. went back later to find they had deleted my class: creature handler. my rancor and graul sat uselessly in inventory. i worked hard to find them and raised them from babies. logged back out.

I’ve always found that crafting system to be second to none. The experimentation was :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

instancing was part of the problem with garrisons. if they implemented personal housing with instancing, they’d need to put them on a timer, where the housekeeper would eject you from the house after so many minutes per hour, in order to clean it. and then not let you back in till x minutes had passed, so people didn’t end up just sitting in their houses while waiting for queues to pop in retail or while looking for group/raid members on classic.

I did. Came to WoW March 2005, a month before the CU came out. That CU created a mass exodus. A lot of SWG refugees came from there.

I actually started as alliance but a few months later my friends came over and played Horde. So I created a Horde character and never looked back. Haven’t played alliance since.

Nope; jumped right in straight from Diablo II.

I did.

You want to talk about games that should have conquered the world and just totally sh!t the bed? Oy.

I actually miss my bio-engineer, was fun to crawl up to things and take samples and then create new pets.

And they didn’t just screw it up once but TWICE in the same year! It was like they were trying to break the game. I guarantee the game would be still going strong to this day if they had just bothered to fix the original version. It could have been a niche mmo with dedicated base like Eve.

I’d have likely never left. That game had everything.

I was going to try that with an alt. Just…never got the chance.
