<title>I don&apos;t understand...</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;How SWG is more popular than MxO and is running, I played it a bit last night and this morning and well...MxO is just a hundred times the game that it is, even with all it&amp;#39;s problem. I never really played another MMO apart from trial of WoW which i got bored and LOTRO which I also found boring. The begining is so linear in SWG, compared to MxO&amp;#39;s, you know I wanna log in and meet me I know play it. Instanced missions and being able to call a mission from anywhere, all 10 times better. Graphics and UI are better, so what is it that has stoped this game reaching its potential, its just such a better game, I won&amp;#39;t go on about invesment in the game but it&amp;#39;s still an amazing game and better than the standard MMO product.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://fc08.deviantart.com/fs37/f/2008/252/0/1/Chuck_Norris__Jedi_Master_by_timstuff.png&quot; width=&quot;299&quot; height=&quot;387&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think on a several levels that picture can sum it up for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;People like shine things (zomg Jedi, lol!!).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In reality, though, there are a few things which might attract players to the game.&amp;nbsp; In my mind, though, MxO always had quality over quantity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;SWG has a linear, but guided, and &lt;em&gt;sometimes &lt;/em&gt;engaging Legacy quest chain, which will get you from the low levels tot he higher levels rather quickly (not too fast, but fast enough and with rewrads along the way).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;SWG has high-end raid-ish content in the form of large instance battles (popular in many MMO&amp;#39;s today)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;SWG has Star Wars as it&amp;#39;s backbone franchise which Lucas and company keep making sure stays up and &amp;#39;cool&amp;#39; regardless of how much they sell out or debase the franchise.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;SWG gets a lot of advertising and in several formats (SOE e-mails, site presence, new TCG card game, etc, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I&amp;#39;ve heard that some like the PvP aspect, but I cannot comment on it since I have not ever participated in it aside from one-on-one duels during any point in my career in the game&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now I&amp;#39;ll list some reasons I have liked it over the years:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Crafting.&amp;nbsp; This game has had some of the most intricate crafting I&amp;#39;ve seen in MMO&amp;#39;s.&amp;nbsp; It allows you to personalize items and makes crafting your products well something to aspire to than simply a finger exercise.&amp;nbsp; I haven&amp;#39;t played recently so I can&amp;#39;t comment on any recent changes, but when I was more active that was my opinon.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Character customization.&amp;nbsp; Between outfits and unique physical attributes, the game allowed for some pretty good customization on the character&amp;#39;s end.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Duality in game-play.&amp;nbsp; You had ground-based activities and space-based activities.&amp;nbsp; You could be a pilot and/or a ground adventurer.&amp;nbsp; I really did enjoy this aspect ever since they released the Jump to Lightspeed expansion.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Housing.&amp;nbsp; They had some of the most free-form player-housing that I&amp;#39;ve seen in any game.&amp;nbsp; It truly was something that you could make unique in your own way.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those are the most basic reasons.&amp;nbsp; The game is not utterly deplorable, but it has fallen from it&amp;#39;s former self in my mind.&amp;nbsp; Between anger at SOE for what happened over the years (most especially the NGE), general disillusion as a result of those times, and the lost of class-customizations that we had before (replaced with a cookie-cutter-esque class system), I fell out with the game and it has never been able to re-capture me in the same way (only way I might re-subscribe now is to play along-side some very good friends of mine...but that would be the only reason).&amp;nbsp; I found, when I did go back, that the fun didn&amp;#39;t last as long as it had for me before and ended up leaving the game all over again a couple of months later.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In reality, I always liked MxO better and always will.&amp;nbsp; Despite it&amp;#39;s short-comings, I found it a superior game experience in my mind.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>Re:I don&apos;t understand...</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;I think it&amp;#39;s because LucasArt actually gives a d@mn about their product, so they work with SOE on advertisement on keeping the game alive etc.&amp;nbsp; I think WBIE just kinda forgot about us once we went into SOE&amp;#39;s hand.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
