Bsst thing about the NGE? Hard to say really... I can RP despite being hamstrung with glitchy game engines and horrible combat dynamics. In my personal opinion, the best thing about the NGE is it caused me to take a second look at SWG and allowed me to not only meet a bunch of wonderful people in game, but allowed me a glimpse at the folks who don't play anymore but still continue to come to sites like this. It is the community for me that keeps me coming back. Hell... it's this sense of community that keeps most of the folks who don't play anymore coming back here... you know what I'm talking about.
How bad can the game be if even after almost 2 years, folks who decided to quit STILL come back here to keep in touch with friends they've made thru it.
