Disappointed

After having been gone for a year and a half (due to lack of time and
funds) I reactivated my account a few days ago, and I am very
disappointed in what I see.

I didn't actually expect any of my characters to be around, but I've
found that the characters and all of their stuff is still there. I
had to pay an "uncondemning fee" to get into my house. But that seems
to be the only thing that's still there.

My primary character (Arylliana on Intripid) WAS a master architect.
Now she isn't anything, apparently. When I logged on it told me I
must choose a profession, and I picked Trader/Structures which would
seem to be the same thing, but I now have no skill to do hardly
anything. Apparently all the time I spent getting to the top level
was for naught, and I have to start over.

The new profession system I find confusing. All of my characters had
some fighting ability so as to defend themselves while out in the wild
(even though most of them were crafty types rather than fighters). Now
I have weapons I can't use and from what I can tell no skill in using
them anyway.

The weirdest thing is the lack of people. Coronet spaceport used to
be the most crowded place on any galaxy. In three days I have yet to
see a player character in Coronet. With no other players the crafting
professions become useless.

I almost would have preferred that they DID drop all the characters
and posessions after a certain time. Corellia is still packed
edge-to-edge with houses, even though there is nobody there.

-- Arylliana
-- Back, but maybe not for long?

P.S. I saw a house with a sign reading that "The seven day deletion
rule is unfair". What's that all about?

Its the NGE from over a year ago. Completely destroyed the game both in
terms of balance and population. Its a shame, as prior to NGE, SWG was
easily the best MMORPG out there. RIP. Hopefully the next version will have
nothing to do with Sony...
