"I couldn't stop saying aloud how miscast Jim Carrey was!"
I recall SWG was probably the most ranted about/hated MMO game up to that point. Yeah Ultima Online launched in a barely playable mess but SWG made forum folk viscerally angry because of what it was and wasn't. Also by extension Sony Online was pretty hated by the very audience base they were courting because after buying out Everquest their future games were either buggy at launch or a bit lackluster with higher-than-normal monthly fees. Everything they did was met with derision and anger; with all the report about EQ1 players spending hours in front of the PCs, SOE copped one of the first major sponsorship-promo deals in a game for EQ2. Typing "/pizza" would start the automatic process of having Pizza Hut make a delivery. Autists and nerds bitched that was a sellout move that broke the fantasy immersion.

...anyway, good luck finding other players. It's always kind of neat to hear that long-discarded games aren't totally forgotten, especially in the MMO sector where soloing is almost impossible in most games.
