1. Does anyone still play or seen how SWG,Dark Age of Camelot and COH is going these days? honest opinion if there better or worse.
2. does Soe All access pass give you access to EQ 1, 2 and SWG?
That is all.

2. Yea

I play DAoC with a few friends now and again. The realms populations have dwindled but they've revamped the graphics and added a few expansions. They've also added instances that make leveling trivial. Also, I don't know how recently you've played (or if at all) but once per week, as long as you have gained a level, you are eligible to claim a "free" level.
The only real fun I have left in DAoC is twinking out an alt and playing in Thidranki as (at least on Merlin), the RvR isn't what it used to be.

yeah i was just curiuos on old MMo's I use to play are holding up these days.. I know the ones I named are getting very small population wise but I heard that becoming a Jedi is alot easier in SWG which is the only reason I got teh game inthe first place so i was mostly curiuos on whats people thoguhts if any on the new expansions there. DAOC i played very little cause a freidn forced me to buy it.

1. Bought DAoC when it first came out, crashed so many times I put it back in the box and canned it. CoH my kids stopped playing after 3 months. And SWG I have never played but thinking about seeing what it is like since I have all access account, but i have been thinking about that since last year. Too much fun in EQ. :)
2. yes :)

Restarted EVE recently, it's still going strong and actually getting alot of new players now and after years of EQ grind fest i'm liking the relaxed pace of the game.

Well after seeing Episode3, I'm really missing SW:G. Yeah I'm a nerd that way. Too bad the game mechanics are so horrible.

CoH has a real nice character creation, and they've recently added more options to it. Also they have added PvP arenas since the last update, and once City of Villians comes out it will let you be a bad guy. :)
While it doesn't have a huge amount of end game, it is fun imho and its the only mmo i've been playing halfway constant lately...

CoH also gave away 5 day reactivations of old accounts for this weekend, through Tuesday. I don't know that I'd bother playing it again, but it was nice, simple fun while I did.

EvE online and Coh, Matrix online, ect, are good games for those who are tired of the glut of fantasy mmo's out there imho....

Heard from a few people that used to play SWG (Until this very recent patch) that they've totally messed everything up. And that sony has been deleting many posts on their forums about the complaints. Might check into this further if you are considering playing it.

Hows Guildwars? The graphics look pretty sweet. I like the fact there is no subscription. I wanted to see other people opinion's about it before I picked it up.

GW is like Diablo, in a Counterstrike-ish sort of way. I'd label it as a PvP-based game with RPG elements. The PvP is what will keep people playing in the end, as the story isn't the greatest in the world.
It's great for playing in short chunks of time though, like CS. I don't think it's something you'd be able to play hardcore every day.

I am like Kivorn and at times I wanna play a game that has to do with Star Wars then other times I wanna play Everquest.. considering i have game keys for SWG eq1 eq2 on my accont I will probably get the access just cause 20 bucks a month for three games is pretty great.. I mean Damn sony finally got something right.. what other MMO creator out there ahs enough MMO's out atm that they can give as good of a deal?

Yeah, at one point or another, I bought SWG, Planetside, EQ1 and EQ2. So, I still pay for the SoE All Access plan. I enjoy Planetside in small doses :)

I have heard good and bad about the expansion. I just lost 2 very good players to SWG b/c of the expansions lol they love it now. :( I guess like everything eles, it just depends on what you like.

SWG, imho, needs to be taken out of circulation for a year or so and totally reworked to actually get it right...
The star wars universe is a gold mine but SOE did a poorly implemented job of bringing it to us.
