Returning to PS...tear in eye

[BigFreak]

Well...I stopped playing PS around when the Skyguard was brought in, then cencelled the account a month or so later. Recently I've been getting urges to play again. I could remember the details I used on my account, or even which email I had used to sign up for my original account (active from UK release til skyguard~). I asked around, then heard my characters maybe gone anyway, after an inactivity wipe. I searched for my characters, and they had indeed been removed. Fair enough.

So I then spent all night downloading the 7 day trial from FilePlanet, so I could see if it was worth coming back to. When I eventually logged in...it felt good to be back. Really good. Lots of memories from Beta, and the huge battles of the first few months were running through my mind. I was gonna kick some ...buttocks...yea...them.

Soooo....then I get into my first battle. Oh...My...Donkies. What's happened to this game? Everyone just sits shooting at range, vehicles and MAXs storm. I barely saw 20 infantry in that fight. It just makes the whole...starting a new character without AV thing a joke. And then there's the playerbase thing. Have Sony completely neglected driving PS for SWG? From what I've seen so far, on Werner there seems to be about one large-ish battle at any one time...and that comes nowhere close to the battles I remember. Sony really need to do something to bring people back to PS or new players to the game, in my opinion, as huge battles are what it's all about.

Just had to say all that, as it's such a shame to see such an amazing game, basically not reach a quarter of its potential this early on.
