Sounds like what WoW had with the opening of AQ.

Sounds exactly like it.

They are trying their best to copy WoW, turned the game into a pile of bantha-poodo in the process.

For players looking for more information on the future of the game should take a look at the game’s publish plan. “We put out our publish plan to the end of the year to inform players of what we’re going to be doing. We think that it’s realistic, fun and straight-forward.” He was also quick to point out that the publish plan is not a wish-list, but a comprehensive list of what will happen.

The publish plan is already distroyed. they have not kept to it yet.

Jon Wood caught up with a developer behind Star Wars Galaxies to find out what the folks at SOE and LucasArts are up to as they move forward from recent controversies.

I visited the Sony Online Entertainment booth to sit down and take a look at what Star Wars Galaxies had to offer. I was met by Jason Ryan, the Events Manager for SWG, and was told that I would be taking a look at the second part of a two-part event called “Battle for Restuss”. The first part of the event, I was told, had players stockpiling weapons and equipment for the upcoming second half. This world event is taking place on Rori, in a city called Restuss. It seems though, that Restuss as players have known it since the launch of the game, may not be much longer for that world.

Simple question, why is it that hardly anyone in your business ever challenges these guys on the facts or at the very least try to repersent the player or former player base interest. The fact is that the majority of players and / or Vets who use to play the game hate what has happen to SWG. SWG back in the Pre-CU days was unique and in many ways was ahead of its times. Did it have issues yes, but these were easily overcome. The main problems what not enough content and no real GCW. Anyway, I just wish you guys would do some hard hitting interviewing.

Thats not likely......

In order for an interview to reveal any real answers to important issues would require that the press representative actually possess the testicular fortitude to see past the corporate BS that is fed them and to ask questions that are specific enough to require actual answers.

For example...

Press Guy: Jason Ryan why is it that SWG has lost its ability to attract new players and hang on to existing ones?

JR: We feel that we have made the game more exciting and star warsy and such.

PG: We both know that is BS Jason. It is failing because you have no idea what you are doing isnt it?

PG: Why did SOE deny vehemently that SWG would be ported to console only to reveal later that it would.

JR: We never had any intention of porting to console. This was a recent development and has nothing to do with the NGE.

PG: Im sorry Jason but thats BS too. SOE lied plain and simple. You dumbed down the game to put it on a playstation didnt you?

PG: If you keep blowing smoke up my rear Jason I swear ill beat the piss out of you!!

JR: <breaks down sobbing> Youre right. its all true we porked our fanbase for money.....Im so ashamed...

Now that would be good reporting.
