As many people have stated before, AO was the WORST when it first came out. Unplayable. SWG isnt' that bad.
You realize, of course, that you're comparing the "ultimate game" by the "ultimate company" with the "ultimate resources" and the "ultimate pop genre"...to the first release of AO, a game designed by a then-brand-new MMORPG company with less than 5% of the resources that SWG had to prepare and code.
All things said and done, SWG still sucks eggs, and AO is still the most immersion-intensive thing ever created (moreso now with SL), with the benefit of being run by a small, personal, friendly, and simply BAD-ASS consumer-sided company Funcom. Compared to the mega-conglomerate of anal retentive overhead-budget whores SOE.
Ain't flamin', cause that arguement had nothing to do with entertainment guilds. Just the facts, ma'am.
