General Discussion

My bro and I did a bunch of research today because we heard a rumor that there is going to be 2 classic servers soon for players that loved the original SWG.  My bro played from Day 1 of the game.  I joined later and was addicted.  Several of my friends at work joined and played on the same server.  We have all quit and can't find another game to play online because we compare them all to pre so-called "SWG:  Game Enhancements".  My bro completely quit.  My account is active only because of my "Station Access".  I actually logged into the game today because of a little excitement....only to be let down with this interview.  Needless to say...cancelling entire SOE account.

Casey Keefe: "We never have and never will comment in regards to subscriber and player numbers".

Lovely! The guys at CCP running EVE Online never have and never will have any sort of trouble with talking about their player numbers

MMORPG.com: You acknowledged in your last producer letter that one major flaw with the NGE’s introduction was broken content and that it was your goal to fix that. How did this happen in the first place?

Casey Keefe: No comment.

Most lovely! lol! SOE bollocksed up and they are still trying to find out why! lmao!

Heh, nice interview, Dana. I enjoyed reading it.

I hear people saying that they can't afford to build new classic servers next to the excisting  NGE-grap servers??

I rather think it's safe to say they can easily merge the current number of servers back to at least a third! freeing up at least 2 third to run classic SWG versions on ;)

greetings

When i read that part where it said where will you find SWG in a year? and casey qweef said still going strong..

I spit my coke all over my keyboard and computer monitor and actually lawled IRL

SOE and LA took a game that was unique, engaging, and emersive, and dumbed it down to a level where it resembles Quake with a Star Wars skin on it.

If the game played like Quake, you'd actually have people playing it. They certainly hyped it up to be a quasi-fps game and it's not that. No, what SOE and LA did was took a game that unique, engaging, and immersive, and dumbed it down to a level where it resembles Duck Hunt with a Star Wars skin on it.

I found this interview just as I was becoming tempted to return to SWG, to see if things had improved at all. I've been playing EVE Online since leaving SWG, and I'd gotten so used to the lovely way that CCP treat their gamers, that I'd almost forgotten the crud that constantly spouted from the SOE producers.

After reading the interview, I can safely say that all my temptations are quenched, and I wouldn't touch SWG with a 50ft barge pole. How stupid do they think we are? Bloomin lying, money grabbing, corporate scumbags..

Man, so sad. I used to love SWG. I was a melee-addict.

Unfortunatly I paid a whole year in advance about a month before last years update, after which I stopped logging in due to inability to do anything related to melee.

Just logged in today, for the first time in almost a year, and melee is still seemingly impossible to play. I'm running around with my saber like a blind man, it's just so hilarious, lmao (I worked at becoming Jedi far before the update, so I guess that's why my title says "Elder"? Yippie fricken doo, lmao). Anyone else find that melee is all but impossible to play, or is it just me?

All I can say is my paid-year is just about over, I've logged on maybe three times since before last years update, and I certainly won't be renewing my subscription.

Funny how they won't release their subscription numbers either. Guild Ware, CoH, Eve, etc. don't seem to have a problem announcing how many players they all have. I guess dwindling numbers is just easier to face when you don't actually face the reality, heh.

Put SWG out of its misery already, it's been dead a long time now. Hopefully LA will start a MMORPG in the years to come, and _NOT_ give it to the dopes over at SOE to create and manage. One can only hope, especially since us old timers are still trying to get used to the whole "no more Star Wars movies" thing, lol. :-)

Yeah I found these 2 tidbits of info (or lack thereof as the case may be, LOL ) to be pretty damn funny. I also loved the line about not rolling back because of lack of "technology and resources"...ROFL. A politic way of saying, "Hey we totally f***ed up, but we ain't going back baby! Ra!".

I think that they should just can the whole game and start fresh. All the crap they added does not make it a better game. They should just look at what the star wars freaks want and make a game that suites their needs.
