So many memories from that game but it won't be missed.

The game was fubar since release. Not once in the entire games history has it ever felt like star wars. Raph koster was an idiot for making a star wars game be crafting centric. Just about every design decision in the game was just befuddling. The housing and it's urban blight made even playing the game an exercise in frustration and house dodging. The only thing good about the game was space and even that was sub par.

Can't say i'm sad to see it go.

Considering that this MMO lasted over 5 years I guess that could be considered a pretty good success.

Although I have NO IDEA how to play it right now, I'm gonna go back and see whats up. At one time, between 2003-2005, I was VERY addicted to this game. NGE drove me away and pretty much killed the game.

I would've tried it had it been Star Wars and not Everquest: SW edition.
