Don't know how many of you tried out SWG throughout the 3 drastically different versions of the game, but SOE is finally shutting down the servers on this abortion of a MMO.
It was my first MMORPG. I really enjoyed it for the first year or so.
As bad as TOA is decried for being a game changer in DAOC, imho it doesn't compare to the "Combat Upgrade" nor the "New Game Experience" changes that made droves of people subscribers to leave the game.

I honestly thought this had already been shut down.

The closest I ever got to SWG was watching the crap out of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUYt-g8kODM

SWG (and to a lesser extent DAOC) are basically proof that when something is working, you shouldn't drastically mess with it.
Cataclysm is actually doing the same to WoW at the moment. The homogenized raiding/gearing process combined with the horrible time between patches is costing them subscriptions quickly enough that they just sent an email to everyone giving them a free copy to give to their friends. That's an act of desperation.

I hear the robot subscribers are flocking to the game though, so it works out in the end.

Well, for one Chloromancers got hit kinda hard. My friend is having a more difficult time healing in raids now
My biggest gripe is with PvP. Basically if you have more than 2 in your group, it is considered a premade group and you sit in queue until you can get matched up with other premades..problem is, that wait can be a very long time (waited an hour a few days ago). Of course you can solo and get into a warfront in like a minute..but if you want to play with your friends or guild, you are sort of screwed.
I would imagine this change took place to keep from the elite premades from stomping everyone in the warfronts but its affecting a lot more players than the gank squads.
