Star Wars Galaxies

Even tho this is a stunning victory for the few the pround the really really off the deep end i would like to take a moment to say that here and now i am a ticked off world of warcraft vet and when another company makes a game any game i will claim it was MY POWER that cause it

ohh and since i didnt like age of conan if that ever gets closed down even if it takes 15 years that was my power also

and for the record i started swg shortly after launch i played on wanderhome my name was tokkan so before you start on how i have no clue i was there i saw it all cu precu and nge and you know what my life went on

I am just happy that SOE has nothing to do with the next game. 

I would love to a more social based game, but even an EQ clone game wouldn't be to bad if done right.

Remember, no matter what they say, that we won and we won big.

Christ they don't quit, now we have 4 of you running your mouths off like you won some contest. You didn't do anything, I demote myself as a vet I refuse to be part of a group who thinks they have some type of power over the events of SWG. Time is running out and SOE screwed themselves, you did nothing but whine and still get nothing out of it.

SOE isn't running scared LA is with SOE, LucasFilms is with Bioware two complete different division I guarantee you SWG will still be running on station pass for many years to come. You lost just face it and you are going to loose again when you find out BioWare won't cater to your terrorist demands. You four should really join Anonymous, you sound just like them.

'Fraid you're wrong there

Does this have implications on SWG? You bet it does, as many of the current players (who are also quite fed up with SOE) are admitting to being ready for a new SW MMO.  Which means another major hit to sub numbers.

And truthfully speaking, us using our power as consumers, leaving SWG, and bitching to high-heaven about the NGE has definetly done damage to SOE and SWG as it stands now. There are no doubts about it.

We...WIN! Fortunetly for even NGE fanbois, I'm sure there will be plenty of fun to be had in the new SW MMO and I'd be happy to enjoy it along side any of you.

  I dunno, I can actually see an angle here that DOES give credit to the hateful vets for the eventual death of SWG.  See...the Bioware MMo is not going to be anything like Pre-CU.  Its most likely going to be far more similar to the standard rollercoaster MMO with some wide options to put it in line with the KOTOR series.  What that translates into is a situation where players who are merely playing SWG for the IP and the style are going to leave it for Bioware as they will provide a better overall game cut from that cloth.

  However, had they simply left the old game alone....the hateful vets would have stuck around, because they liked the sandbox appeal of it.  In short by throwing US away to appeal to that crowd...they have completely destroyed any chance at all of surviving this new game.   By persisting on not playing galaxies....the vets ensure there are NO players that will be around to pull SOE out of this.

  So, no, the vets may not have been the crux behind which the new MMO was made.  They would have been the cushion to save SOE from eventual loss when it is made, however.

What you fail to see is that your bitching has done nothing for the state of the game.  People aren't playing it en-mass because it is a crappy game.  That has nothing to do with how vocal the fans are.  SOE has only themselves to blame for this.  There may be a few hundred people on this forum that are complete pre-cu "fanbois" (as you like to call the people enjoying the game) or are only trailing you because it is "cool".   This is nothing in the wide-eye of things.

The only way and I mean the ONLY way the "Vets" will "win" anything is if SOE releases a pre-cu server.  It is inevitable that an MMO shuts down.  Hell I could say " WoW is going to shut down!  Mark my words!" and when the game does shut down does that mean anything?  No it doesn't, everything runs in cycles.

The responses to my original post have been very predictable...fanbois and viral marketers in denial.

Exactly, and for the record there is now 5 delusional "vets". Looking forward to more jumping on the bandwagon "We win!" "We win!" "Can we go to ChuckieCheeses now?". Reminds me of a childs t-ball game.

So you predicted that there is still some sane people among you? Good job! *thumbs up* You have lost it as well as the rest of 5, you no longer know reality you probably jump in your chair and think your in a x-wing defeating the even SOE tyrants. I just don't understand how you can be soooo far off base.

I am seriously confused here.  What do SWG vets have to do with the fall of the NGE?   The Bioware MMO will bring down SWG.  And I have a REALLY hard time seeing how you had anything to do with Bioware deciding to make a starwars mmo.

The mass exodus due to the NGE, combined with the tenacity of Star Wars fans who stayed even though they hated the NGE, proved th LA that it was worth persuing another SW MMO with another company.

 

That's win-win for the fans.
 

Yeah you really showed them by giving SOE your money every month.

Haha, I couldn't care less what happens to SOE or SWG for that matter.  It just silly to think that you have changed the world.  You are the one having delusions of grandeur nothing more nothing less.
