Star Wars Galaxies

  The title says it all.  If there were a classic Pre CU (Combat Upgrade)  server would you join?   I know for myself  I would join if they made a couple changes, that were needed before the CU,  And a few more things.

• A balance of professions IE: Dots from combat medic brought down to a reasonable level, Bounty Hunter Eye shot brought down to a manageable Level, Tera Kasi brought down, to a reasonable Level, Defenses from super templates toned down.
• No Hologrinding, I won't say no Jedi but some kinda population cap would be highly necessary maybe at the creation of your character the games determines if you're Force Sensitive, except you don't know until you have mastered your character and gone to discover an ancient artifact. a quest that anyone can complete, however if you are not force sensitive you can not take the Path to Jedi or Sith. Maybe a cap of 4 or 5 hundred per server.
• Fix collision dectection, no more being shot through walls
• Bring back all the old professions.

  I know that there are more things that needed to be remedied, but these were the game breaking things in my mind. The game needed minor tweaks, not a game changing NGE. The thought should have been let's give the vets what they want and the vets will tell one person about the game, and then ten. This is how they could have gotten the Magical 1 Million dollar subscription rate they have been hoping for, no marketing ad campaign was going to do it. 

So if there were going to be a classic server I would definitely join.

A year to six months ago I would've jumped back in wholeheartedly,  but now, not so much.

I don't know. You should update your poll with a 'maybe' option.

IF they released a Pre-CU server AND did some SERIOUS ass kissing, I could probably be swayed.

I fear the time has passed.

I dare them to prove me wrong though

Without a major personnel change at SOE, along with a fundamental change in the company's attitude toward their customers (something that won't happen without the personnel changes), I won't spend a single cent on any product SOE earns any revenue from.  So to answer the question, no, I wouldn't  join an SOE classic server.

ABSOLUTLY

Pre CU SWG was my favorite game and probably always will be.  I long for the pre CU days but we all know SOE couldn't care less about the player base so this is a moot thread anyway.  But I do hope that someone from SOE reads this and takes notice at how many people are willing to return for a pre CU server set. 

A year or two ago, sure.  Today?  No, that ship has sailed.  What I want more than anything is to see the NGE close down and SOE to have mass firings of everyone from Smed down like LEC had recently.

 With all due respect to this forum NewMoon-bee , The PreCU  is never coming back. SOE has the code but for some reason that only they and Lucas Arts know, refuses to regret the mistake that they made. 

I wish you well as I started my MMO career in the neighboring AA County in the home state of the Host of yours truly.

I think a classic server would do very well along side the collection system and droid commander.

As others have indicated, I wouldn't go back because I can't trust SOE's management, from Smedley on down, not to screw the customers, again.

They have not learned their lesson.  They think that the problem was "communication", not the fact that they totally transformed the game into something I never asked them to, nor did any other player, for that matter.

They told their customers to get lost, we've got better customers coming along to take your place.

Too bad no one came along to take our place.

They're not credible, and I just don't do business with people who obviously hold me and my fellow gamers in such utter contempt.

Hell no.
