It''s one thing to have a opinion, but enforcing one is unconstitutional. |

Maybe all those other games but Not EQ1. There is a far amount of people still playing EQ1 and devoted to EQ1. EQ1 isnt going anywhere any time soon. |

Now I don't personally play ANY of those games, but I'd love if SWG shut down so a new better one could take it's place already... not through SOE...  Why do I write, create, fantasize, dream and daydream about other worlds? Because I hate what humanity does with this one. BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward. Sorry TSW. |

This thread fails on so many levels....
IF he had said "SWG SHUT DOWN!"...hey, I could at least toss the notion around. If he said "SWG AND MATRIX SHUT DOWN"...I'd still be willing to play with the ideal a little. Even planetside....but EQ1 still brings in the dough. Unless something major has changed in that game that I am unaware of...it still has plenty thousand fans devoted to it.
Of course, I suppose on some distant plane of thought this could all be possible. I guess there IS a slim chance that MAYBE SOE decided to cut costs and knife most of its floundering games...I am not sure how EQ1 fits in that, but I'm no master of corporate policy either. We had a factory in my town close down even though it made record production for the business. It would then stand to reason that there has to be some teeny chance that other corporate holdings could do similar things given the proper mix of ingredients.

Here is my advice to the OP... Rumors are cool.. people love anything to do with "pre-cu" and the flames that follow it around. However, when you make the 2.0 version of this post... it should be this... SOE pulling the plug on SWG, Planetside and MxO. It might enter the realm of something people can really "believe" at that point. You might want to research (as best anyone can) the subscriber numbers in EQ1.. compared to EQ2. EQ1 isn't going away anytime soon(tm). MxO and Planetside could at least make sense in that headline. |

Originally posted by firefly2003 In RL, do you have any respect for the person who repeats the most idiotic information to you? Do you think to yourself, "Wow, this guy really knows his stuff"? Or do you think, "Shut the hell up, moron. You're using up valuable oxygen"? You're supposed to think before you pass things on...is it of interest to the audience? Is it likely to be true? Is this something they don't seem to know? I totally believe in shooting the messenger if the messenger is incompetent. Apply lemon juice and candle flame here to reveal secret message. |

I'm getting to the point where I hope they do close the game so I can be spared from idiots like this. |

This is the biggest circle jerk I've seen on these boards. LOL Below is the URL to the post the OP is referring to. You'll notice many of the same names pop up over there as they do here. That site is owned and run by one of the more rabid "vets" here. Also note that site has a grand total of 74 registered users. |

i seriously doubt it, thats the reason for the station pass to have a diversity of games under one sub, one thing i give soe credit for is they dont pull the plugs on there playerbase like electronic arts does. they may change there mmo's sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse, but in the end isnt thAt what mmo's are about a game that never ends and is always changing? Hell if i wanted to play a game that never changed i would throw a disk in the ps or xbox. playing eq2 and two worlds |

Has anyone here ever seen EQMac? Being a Mac user I've had the pleasure of trying out that game. They stopped updating it AT ALL several years ago, yet they still run that server. I can't remember the last xpack for it, but it couldn't have been more than 1 or 2 after PoP. They've happily taken money from those people for years without giving them even a single patch to fix bugs. Do you really think they're going to can a game that has probably 20x the users of EQMac? SWG will only die when they loose the contract with Lucas, and so long as they continue to pay the licensing fees to Lucas, why would it get cancelled? |

Originally posted by nerrollus Hehe enough said. While I respect Macs because they made a wise choice in making their base kernel off the Linux kernel and they provide superior graphics to anything a standard PC will ever put out, the plain fact that they lack general support due to years of bad decisions keeps me away from ever owning one. |
