Enjoy the ride:
P.S: this is obviously a fake. I got it on TOR forums before it was deleted. Still funny

Stand up for what you believe; Even if you stand alone. |
lololololo.  Why do I write, create, fantasize, dream and daydream about other worlds? Because I hate what humanity does with this one.

SOE is garbage. |

lol, would have been funny if it had happened. But think SOE will just silently shut down SWG after TOR launches, with no hard feelings since they got some new titles to take the place of SWG.

Hilarious! Especially: 'CEO John Riccitiello, "No official comment, but we are aware of the situation and are working on it. This will not effect EA's capacity to publish award winning sports games, and other games.'

I can just see Lucas sitting back and throwing balled up fists o' money at Smedley like a rapper at a strip club and saying "Step off, son." "You know, you have such a stunningly superficial knowledge of what went on that it's almost embarrassing to listen to you." Zbigniew Brzezinski to Joe Scarborough regarding Clinton and the Middle East on the "Morning Joe" program. |

"And NGE did not betray SWG's fan base." And the fan base didn't betray SOE. We left out of loyalty to SOE!
"I mean who wants be Owen Lars when they can be Luke Skywalker." Subtract from the number of peak subscriptions, the number of current subscriptions. That's who.

Fear. Fear attracts the fearful, the strong, the weak, the innocent, the corrupt. Fear is my ally. |
lol I thought this was real until all the grammar mistakes started popping up in the interview. Playing - Aion, LotRO |

lol. What a load of utter hogwash from SoE. Maybe they need to look at themselves at to why no just SWG is failing but all of their mmo's. The customers have lost faith in the company, its nobody else's doing but their own freekin fault but they still don't see it and rather than sort the problems out from their end, their looking to just pass the blame to someone else... i hope SoE do go RiP! |

I soon as I saw "several million subscribers" I know some rabid ex-fanboi made it up. |

The sad part is some kid made this up to get a laugh and make a stab at SOE; yet 5 years from now some ill informed forum poster will write about the time SOE sued LA when it never actually happened. Arioc Murkwood |

So here is the deal, I played EQ when it came out and basically every other SOE game since, and I hate SOE *like their games*. This actually freaked me out because it sounds like something SOE would do! I am not as "main-stream" as the basic gamer so I don't keep up with that kind of stuff. I think the OP gave me a heart attack. SW: TOR is the first MMO in a long time that I am really *EXCITED* about. BioWare has done no wrong for me. LA has done no wrong for me.... EA (not much experience). I am just excited. This was a wierd rush! Keep it up! |

hahahaha that was a freakin blast reading that.

haha, that was entertaining. I still like SOE, but I believe at some point the company was put in bad leadership. Initially they were controlled by the movie studio branch of Sony, which lets face it, has no idea how to deal with games. They cant be treated the same way as films and film production, since online games can always be changed. Some movie exec probably thought that by altering the game completely after it was released was probably a good idea, since they wish they could do that with film releases. Sadly, it doesnt work that way. SOE has some great IPs under their belt, EQ, Vanguard, SWG... if only they were given the budget and the right people to make the big decisions, these franchises could make a huge come back, they just need to be fixed and upgraded. Games like LIneage 2, Second Life, EVE...ect have shown this can be done. Are we freer in America today? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWOW1OKzdNA |

Yes we all know it's fake, but come on. It was VERY funny. Can someone honestly say SOE wouldn't try something along that line? I mean even to this day the NGE failure is blamed on negative comments by fans (by Smed's crew), and not that it just sucked. >Nope, problem is you can't contruct a halfway logical counterpoint to anything, probably because you don't understand what it is you're arguing about in the first place. - Hellmoob |

SOE are just being sore sports because they screwed up and need to blaim someone.. anyone.. Instead of excepting responsibilty they made a sh*tty game, period.. plain and simple.. |

the guy at SOE seems like such a pompus little bastard. SOE left the SWG community really pissed off and he knows it, he's just not saying either for pride or because he's just not allowed to. swg is just one of those games that's just barely staying a float... and only because it's the Star Wars Universe not because of NGE. |

Glad you like it. I think i'ts a funny post. I could have changed a few things to make it more realistic but hell the person who wrote it deserves credit so I didn't change a word. Too bad I don't have the name of the original writer though. |

Just meant more 13 year olds on WoW and more room for my harvesters. SWG wasn't an easy game to pick up, at least not comparing them to WoW and her clones. It was also pestered with bugs that never got fixed, but compared to what else was (and still is available) many people just played around them. |

You forget that there are tons of collectors out there that buy star wars products just to own them. Its possible for SWG to have sold millions without actually having an equivelant subscriber number, since collectors will just buy the product, not use it.

The highest report we got was 450k active subs some time after launch. At the time it was a huge number.

It's obviously fake and Smedley would never say Pissed me off and he never speaks like that in the interview. |
