The reward for your ignorance will be death.

So, is SOE a good game developer / publisher? Or are they bad news?

I'm just interested to see what the majority of gamers think.

Please be able to give an intelligent well thought out answer. Do not base your answer on one thing, but overall perspective of them based on experience. Look at the bigger picture, then answer honestly.

Take into consideration, ie. Customer support, Game development, Game content, Graphics and all of their games including console and PC.

Thank you.

I've never understood the SOE hate. I've never used their customer service, but I mainly credit that to them creating a usually stable game. I look forward to them maybe being able to revive Vanguard.

Why the hell should I work? She''ll just spend all my money on shoes anyways!

I don't have anything bad to say about them. Then again I don't have anything good to say about them either. To me they are just another company meh.

If I were to base my opinion completely on my experience playing SWG, I would have voted terrible. However, I realize this is only one of their games and I can't say I have played any others.

Therefore, I gave it a "Poor" because of my experiences with their customer service (billing issues specificly) and because of their handling of the game development of SWG.

I can't say I "hate" SOE though. Perhaps "frustrated" is a better term.

howdy

in my opinion i think soe is not half bad and here is the reasons.... i played all their games eq , eq2, planetside, matrix and others and i msut say for a company that control all these games they havent done bad. eq 2 is a great game overall and dont forget it was everquest that set the mmo world flying. now some of there game did flop but let look at truth matrix online was bought from wb so it wasnt a soe prduct from start so that dont count, vanguard also was bought cant blame soe on that . now planetside wasnt half bad for it time, eq 1 was awesome until pop then it went down hill eq 2 is still the best they got and swg well we wont go there ....

so overall i give soe a 7 out of 10

My experience with SOE is limited to SWG. After playing that game for several months, I can honestly say I have no desire to ever purchase an SOE product again. Once bitten, twice shy.

Developers of MMORPGS nerf us today so they can sell us tommorow what we had yesterday.

I voted okay.  I know SOE has had problems with the public and there are alot of angry people (mostly from SWG?).  CCP from Eve online is worse than SOE IMHO.  SOE doesn't actively cheat in their own games, like CCP does...

==========================
The game is dead not, this game is good we make it and Romania Tv give it 5 goat heads, this is good rating for game.

Well that probably says more to CCP's immaturity as a mmo developer than anything else. SOE on the other hand was around long enough when SWG came around.

I dunno about the cheating because 99% of the developers are playing it right, however like 1 of their developers and 1 GM was caught cheating. So it's unfair to say CCP cheats in it's own games.
