If I could just get the random crashes to stop, I would be playing it everyday again. Words will never be able to describe Morrowind, and I don't think any other game in the world could compare. I don't think I will be a truely happy gamer until a game identical to morrowind comes out again. And maybe Arx Fatalis... that game was pretty neat as well.

It's been (relative to my time on this planet) a very, very long time. I was getting some nostalgia from SDM and decided to Google it, which led me to your website. I've got to say, I'm actually very impressed with your global travels as well as the few articles I read. Thinking more on it, I'm pretty sure I haven't seen you since Boy Scouts, or maybe sometime shortly after when I beta tested your game. Anyways, It'd be great to hear from you when you get back into the states and enjoy your trip. Jon McDonald. It’s been (relative to my time on this planet) a very, very long time.

Reading this made me think back to the good old days of pre-cu Galaxies. It was so unique and so simple, I loved how you could make up your own templates mixing and matching to stack your bonuses, I remember having a Master Fencer and Teras Kasi with the defence from Swordsman and Pikeman, professions were so flexible. I loved how you could master one thing then drop it and master something else in hardly any time at all. PvP was amazing too, always such a rush and unpredictable you never knew who you were up against and what template they had...and that is what was so good if you lost you'd think hmm ill just try something else and 2 days later you had a new template to try out! It was just a fun game and i too hope TOR is anywhere near as good but I don't think it will be. Ah....I could go on about how amazing it was, if you played you know, and well if you didn't get chance to sorry you missed out. I don't think there will ever be a game that was as much fun as SWG pre-cu. Wish they'd bring it back! I was an Imperial on Euro-Chimera and a Rebel on Euro-Infinity.

When you compare the total density of both games you get a lot more for you dollar when it comes to Morrowind. It is by far the BEST game I have ever played. Even though yes they did make things a little better in Oblivion, like non static items, hit-box detection for combat, not being able to fail a spell cast or the creation of an alchemical potion, that's what made Morrowind unique and difficult. In my personal opinion that's what a game is supposed to be... difficult. It makes it more entertaining and fun, to an extent. Dare I go on about the number of quests... I didn't think so. Although Oblivion is fun in its own right, I just don't get the same rise out of it. Hell, when the game first came out (Morrowind) that was the sole reason we bought a second Xbox, because me and my brother were fighting over it all the time. =P In my book, from a 1 to 10 its a certified 20!

I was chosen to be one of the 1st 100 beta testers for it. They wanted people with broadband only, and I only had dialup back then but I met with and talked to the developers at the Star Wars Celebration in Indy so they let me on board. We had daily play sessions followed by live chats and daily forum discussions with Raph Koster, Kevin O'hara, Haden Blackman and other developers to comment on what we just played. It was FULL of bugs but it was so much fun and a joy to be able to finally "live" in a star wars game. I cant remember his name but one of these 1st 100 people died in a car crash on the way home from his fiance's house. Not many people know this but just outside of Bestine on Tatooine up on a hill there is a memorial to him. In game. On every server. No kidding. It was very touching to all of us that the developers did that. We first 100 were a pretty tight knit group and got to know each other pretty well. I miss SWG, and yeah I've gone back several times.... but nothing captures that 1st feeling of installing the beta disks (Which I still have!), firing up SWG and for the 1st time ever.... stepping into that galaxy far far away. It was on Tatooine... and we were testing run speed up and down the sand dunes, early hand to hand combat, and basic blaster combat. And god it was fun. Here's hoping that The Old Republic is as fun.. and stays that way. I really miss the old days of SWG. I was chosen to be one of the 1st 100 beta testers for it.
