Who remembers the original SWG (star wars galaxies) where you could mix and match any skill from any skill tree?

If you wanted to be a Tera Kasi master/ Master swordsman or Rifleman/ combat medic or doctor/pistoleer you could and whatever other combo you could work out to your hearts content.

Then they had problems balancing all these different powers you could mix together. If they made one stronger it ended up being a flavor of the month type combination they could never win.

So they decided to redo the whole game skill and combat system with the Combat upgrade..That only lasted a short while and then one day without warning the NGE hit pretty much saying you can only play these certain 9 classes this certain way no more of choosing what you want.... Then SWG slowly died.

Hate to see what happens when you have issues with balancing freedom of skill choices
