"The one you call messiah is a lie"--- Gary Numan |
This is funny but sad at the same time, I remember seeing SWG fanfests (not post NGE summits) where they had halls in Las Vegas packed and people were in long queues just to ask a DEV a question. Even the summit just after the NGE had plenty of people, mostly VETs hoping for a rollback. That hall had something like a player to DEV ratio of 4 to 1 at most, maybe even 3 to 1, that's just sad and I don't see what the point is in holding these summits anymore? When like only 20 people turn up, you've got to know you're in trouble. The last EVE fanfest was in Iceland and half of their subs are mining bots, still they probably had more people using the Gents at anyone time than SWG had at their entire summit. If ever there was a time for a drastic change to SWG it's now, in my opinion. |

Looks like they held this one in a bowling alley. Pretty sad. |

They could have bought dinner for a few bums to bump the numbers up FFS. |

Maybe they could get some of the paid shills to show up as "attendees" ;) |

Haha, looks like about 1/4 of their paying subscribers were able to make it to the Summit. "Guess what guys! We don't have the ability, resources, or permission to actually make Hoth, but we are going to give you another cookie-cutter instance!!! Will hide the Easter Eggs and you go seek!" - Blixtev "Yay!!!!!! You developers are Godly!!!!!" - The 12 idiots in attendance "Oh one more thing... We don't know how to merge the servers, we don't know how to fix collision, and we don't know how to make the game fun, but we will give you a few more instances if you keep dishing out the $14.99/month!" - Deadmeat Long pause... "Yay!!!! You developers are Godly!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!! - The 12 idiots in attendance |

SWG galactic gathering. OMG they called this a Galactic gathering, they have super mega tiny galactic then. 25 ppl in the room. 10% of total active players with Obraik in the lead. Look a the pre last picture (Blixtev and AdeptStrain talk with players) with players? 5 players? |

Originally posted by Dessano No, there were thousands there but you only saw 20 as the rest were queueing at Obraik's Deli next door, because we all know that player made food is better than whatever you can loot of the DEVs. I think Blixtev was telling the players "Please get your friends to subscribe and AoC will be a turd". |

I'm surprised they're still doing these after the NGE was implemented. Ha! I still remember the player and then correspondent summits back in 2004 and 2005. We were so hopeful back then |
