Well, I had written a little rebuttle to your original post then I went and read it further.

Just a note: SWG is fun for those who make it fun. For those who just want to kill and slash, no, it's not fun. It's not for everyone. We understand that.

No one in Nabooty is saying ANYTHING about AO or GSP. We keep to ourselves and have never ONCE tried to say "we are better than GSP". We aren't.. and we aren't trying to be. We are just trying to have fun doing what we do best... entertaining.

So, I don't know where this surge of competition has come from. but, We don't want it. We respect you, we respect your station. Hell Tarryk, you made me who I was on AO. I would never down you for that. We just decided to move on for personal reasons. We weren't trying to "copy" or "emmulate" GSP. We were simply taking a venue of online entertainment and running with it. We want to battles. (Unless it's with a rancor)

Please understand this and let's keep the cat fights to a minimum. :)

Peace!

Shizznit, if I were in your shoes reading that, I'd have opened up a can of whupass. But I was under the 100%-positive that you'd never again visit this forum, so I wasn't holding anything back. :)

S'all good in the hood, and I have no reason to ever down on that. My initial attacks on Nabooty in this thread were isolated, and caused from a compilation of 1. Very nasty rumors that I was stupid enough to let influence my opinion, and 2. A temporary assimilation of enough alcohol and nostalgic conversation with an old friend to launch me into a paranoid fit of rage. When compiled with what I thought was a blatant shove-off of a post of mine on your forums, I exploded. Dumb me. :)

I'm sure Nabooty does very well, and beyond any prior lapse of sanity, I wouldn't presume to down on you folks. We all have our faults, and unfortunately while I may have the ability to recognize mine, it takes a rather redundant twist: I sometimes lose control of my rationality when I feel personally threatened. That was one of those cases. It happens much less often than it used to, but if I ever think I've got it nailed down for good, it tends to creep back around. :)

So, I don't know where this surge of competition has come from.

Redundancy keeping it's head up: the hatred of competition created the illusion of competition. AO and SW compete. GSP and NBT do not, and never have.

We just decided to move on for personal reasons. We weren't trying to "copy" or "emmulate" GSP.

Your original intentions aside, I wouldn't have any right to be mad even if you were.

Please understand this and let's keep the cat fights to a minimum. :)

Seems everyone has a lot to learn these days. I, for one, have a lot of thinking to do about my own behavior towards others. I don't think I should apologize over it here and now, but I will remember to do so in the very near future.

kinda on-topic I guess...

Regarding SWG: It's got many things that would make AO quite a bit better than it is now. It's biggest reasons to play are A) for those who really wanna be a char in that universe B)those who want a better and more complex proff/crafting system C) those that just need something new for awhile.

But I find it's flawed in that theres limits on everything. You can only have x number of skills, and you reach a master level in a certain prof and can never get better at it a lick. :(

Star Wars use to be fun until Lucas started taking it all too seriously.

I'll give you that SWG has a better crafting system, and is something different, but to say you play a character in the SW universe is only somewhat true. SWG doesn't have a very StarWarsy feel to it.

I play it, but it is severely lacking. If it wasn't for my guild there, I'd not be playing anymore. AO is more fun, but only if you like combat (well, and socializing, towards the end of my time in Rubi-Ka last time I pretty much lived in Reets :) GRIDSTREAM FOR LIFE!)

But when looking for a SciFi MMORPG, you don't have much pick. AO and SWG are your two best bets. AO is much more RP friendly. The only way to dance in SWG is to actually use skill points to get the skill. CRAZY!

Only way to dance to use Skill Points Crazy? Only when you are imobilized whithin a system where anybody & everybody has a set & equal number of Skill Points. That system makes utterly no sense. Drawing off RL an accomplished Doctor might also be an expert marksman, a decent chef, and a great dancer! Those abilities would never fit in the SWG Skill Point system!

SWG Skill Point limit is just wrong! :cry:

I've been a master Artisan, *Architect, *Tailor, *Merchant, and NOW I can dance. (Mastering Dancer) [asterik means at the same time]

But to have to spend limited points just to dance... I just don't like it. And it's not like you get good dance moves. You get really lame moves, not like AO, like the YMCA or the Flamenco Dance, etc.

are any of those star wars creatures a pretty sight? It seemed like when someone was at the drawing board for SW aliens, they thought "Lets make these things look really alien and different to us... and UGLY!"

Mission accomplished. ^_^;
