Always interesting to hear from a veteran. And good to know where the wings came from, if I'm still around for Valentine's next year, I know what I'm aiming for... :D I am a bit afraid of the developer negligence you mention, but the update to the Galactic Civil War coming in GU15 does look interesting. I wonder how they'll make it work, hopefully they will be able to pull off their aim to bring back traders and entertainers to the cities. If it's any good, perhaps it will even be able to bring back players to the game itself. Not keeping my fingers crossed, but you never know. @Jaye – Yup, I’d say I am. :)

I loved the customization and combat and the ability to pretty much have free reign in the SWGverse (even after the major cripple that was the NGE). The wings you are referring to were offered in the Ewok Festival of Love (the Valentine Day event that saw its first celebration in '09) as was the Mini-Ewok. A lot of people complain about it - but hell, I ran around with those wings for over half a year. I've played every profession, some better than others, and I've explored just about every single aspect of the game. But the continued developer negligence in regards to things like lag and bugs that have been present in the game since launch, I finally decided that it just wasn't the game that I was willing to pay for anymore. It's a good game - if you're not on a heavy server and don't do anything that will lag out or break. Recently, I left SWG (after a 5 year long run, no less).
