When Star Wars Galaxies died I and alot of my friends (real life and internet) have spent the past 4 years searching for a new mmorpg. The problem is nothing else out there offered what Star Wars Galaxies did, it was one of a kind. I just wish'd LA and SOE just made a new tutorial, worked on balance and added new content. I mean imagine what they coulda done with PRE CU 4-5 years later where we're at now. I know my WoW friends have gotten bored of WoW and they wanted more complex mmorpgs and some of them have moved over to EVE when they woulda come with me to SWG Pre CU.

Planetside died because SOE released a crap expansion and then BFRS and everyone quit and because everyone quit they stopped making new content for that game. It's really just slowly died over the years because SOE havn't bothered with it. Again theres no other MMO out there or any game that offers what it can.

We all know Everquest died with Luclin and PoP and them players have still to find anything else out there that offers what EQ did. I mean EQ back then was very much like an EVE where guilds fought to control areas because there wasn't instances so they wanted control over spawns.

World of Warcraft died for me when they added battlegrounds and killed world PvP and suddenly the game stopped being social and became this massive single player solo game.
