I played way back in beta. Logged in, got killed by a rat, logged out and trashed the CD's. Never looked back.
I seriously laughed out loud at this. Oh geez, too much...

roflmao. Well for me I logged in, watched some of the dances since a friend of mine wanted me to see. Walked around. I think I spent a total of 30 minutes in the beta. Never once was tempted to actually play.

Some people definitely need to get a life.... and the shutdown of the game is possibly the best thing that could happen to them... I found this like on the official SWG forums:

To this day I think it was forced onto Sony by Lucas Arts, I don't even think it was coded by the SWG dev crew. That is just about the only thing that can explain why the CU was completed and put into place only a few weeks before. It makes the stumbling changes buy the current WOW dev team seem positively benign.

'new game experience'. Basically they took a skill based MMO and turned it into a class based one. They axed several skill systems, such as Entertainer and Creature Handler (that were both VERY popular and integral to the game world) and made Jedi a common class. They also removed the more traditional MMO style combat and tried, miserably, to replicate an action game within the MMO space by giving you crosshairs and spam fire like a third person shooter instead of what the community had played for years.
In essence, they fundamentally gutted the game. It was a day that will live in infamy for many of us. As noted above, they had just done a full combat pass a few weeks prior to this as well. It was completely out of nowhere.
