  Smuggling on the side was the sneak archer of Galaxies

  I have one weird and specific memory of the first day I played this as a child: I make a Zabrak woman, walk out to the surface of Tatooine, run into another lowbie who offers help, and then he types something like, &quot;It&apos;s really rare to see a girl online. You&apos;re so cool!&quot; And I say, &quot;I&apos;m not a girl, I just made one because I thought it&apos;d be cool.&quot; Bro then unparties and runs off saying, &quot;Don&apos;t ever speak to me again.&quot; Surreal.

  There&apos;s a permanent hole in my heart where this game used to be. There will just never be anything like it again. The OG skill tree system, Teras Kasi, the next level macro system, the group mission grinds. Rest in peace you beautiful bastard. You will be missed forever.

  My wife played this game and as soon as they changed the cu, her entire guild quit the game. &nbsp;She quit a month later. &nbsp;I&apos;ve never seen a company destroy a game quicker than SOE

  Just the harvesting/crafting system alone made that game amazing

  Still to this day I can remember the names of my favorite vendors. The Doctors who were always there. The Dancer teams that frequented the same bars. In SWG, you could go out on your adventure, then come back to town and relax with some good people. The game was buggy af sure, but it was real. The communities were real. And people actually gave a shit about their name. Now? I could care less about anybody I see in any game.

  I have this one, specific memory of my entertainer. I was...um...entertaining, I guess, in the cantina on tattotine, and this dude of the opposite faction walks in...so we were talking to him and such, not attacking. I forgot what exactly, but he says something to piss us off, so we&apos;re like &quot;ok, gtfo before we kill you.&quot; He is all like &quot;LOL yea, ok, this entire cantina couldn&apos;t kill me if they tried.&quot; So we&apos;re like &quot;OK GET HIM!&quot; He then proceeds to pull out a lightsaber. We all had never seen a Jedi before so we are all like &quot;uh...holy shit...uh...GET HIM!&quot; Then he proceeds to kick the entire cantina&apos;s ass...lol

  Imagine a modern game with modern graphics, physics and design with the level of depth of SWG

  The death of SWG is arguably one of the most frustrating &quot;death by self-inflicted wound&quot; story in the history of gaming. I can&apos;t think of any other example where a company had such a good thing going and then squandered it all away with a single bad business decision. There was something straight up magical about the social aspect of that game, and even in the NGE period a trace of that magic lingered but also served as a sobering reminder of what was and what could have been
