Hello, It has come to my attention that there have been far too many threads regarding a specific Star Wars Galaxies EMU server. As you may or may not be aware, MMORPG.com does not condone the discussion of EMU servers, as they are, at best, a gray area. As you may have noticed, our moderators have removed such threads from the forums. This is not because we wish to limit what you can talk about here, but rather that these discussions were causing a number of unnecessary headaches for our staff as they work to make MMORPG.com a plesant place for all of our members. Continued discussion of this topic will result in warnings and/or bans, as approrpiate. I apologise for any inconcenience this may have caused.

It should be allowed to be talked about, especially if LA is being involved. But just like the real swg devs, the emu devs are really being no better (due to NOONE wanting to say anything) How are people, such as myself supposed to get information regarding the state of the game i once loved and could spend countless hours playing? Then to get little rays of hope like the EMU and LA possible EMU...only to be once again left in the dark with no way of knowing about anything. So basically....once again the players are treated with utter disrespect...cause once again, we are left in the dark to blindly follow nobody. Honesty and truth is all i ask, and to be informed of what is going on Originally posted by Shayde So what happened to the "You can talk ABOUT it, just not link it" rule? If it creates too many posts, why not make an emu thread like the hate $OE thread?

QFE , I hope these forums don't become like SOE's one, I see no harm in talking about it, as long that u don't post any links, guid or server info about it. But again, Money is what moves the world, and I am sure SOE has The word in this forums , as long that they pay them right?

There isn't anything wrong about talking about the "duck", but when you direct links to communities that don't wish to have attention it causes major problems. This is one of the major reasons why MMORPG is taking these measures.

That wont fix the problem though. If there were a sticky made about it, it would go up in flames within 2 pages. Also it would just give another reason for their little douche devs to show up again crying. "There's no star system Slave I can't reach, and there's no planet I can't find.

I think this is a great option - i still want to play SWG i still want to discuss SWG, but after being told before christmas that me as a vet was not part of SOE's target audience and "Thrown aside" where else do i discuss SWG under a development team that wants me.

Or mention the fact that you can buy 3rd party toners for your printer cheaper because it was reverse engineered... I don't care, I intend to continue to discuss the "duck" and if I am banned from this site I'll quit reading it and consider it as biased towards advertiser boot licking as IGN is. BTW, I note that MMORPG.COM takes advertisments from credit/gold sellers. That violates the TOS and EULA of every MMO out there. So I see this stance as hypocritical to say the least.

So I see this stance as hypocritical to say the least. No, it isnt. As long as this site is not advertising them on the servers then they arent violating anything. If a representitive from this site were to make post on say the Offical Blizzard WoW forums advertising them, and log in the game and spam it, then yes that is violating Blizzards or whoevers game it was in EULA/TOS.

I just hope that everyone is clear on which posts were deleted. Yesterday was a flamefest like not seen in a while. It almost bordered on the uproar around NGE. The discussion is still allowed, but all the posts that really carry no information and serve as flamebaits only were and most likely still will be deleted. No real problem there.

Sincerely, Jon "Stradden" Wood, MMORPG.com Community Manager Heya... first thanks for clarifiying.. I have a question though... Any chance you guys could ask LEC for comment to see whats going on? Having access to a billion $ IP - Billions of dollars.. Having access to a massive fan base of said IP - Even more Billons... Singly handedly alienating them due to stupidity - Priceless.

Originally posted by Wildcat84 Again, until gold farmer adverts (and discussion) is banned from mmorpg, the moderators/etc have no standing whatsoever to ban discussion of swgemu used in non profit, legal ways. Well.. an EULA means diddly-squat. Thus breaking an EULA isn't breaking a law. Now EMU's skirt the grey legal issue... it CAN be illegal in some cases. Not that I'm defending their stance, but gold farming IS NOT ILLEGAL... I still think we should be able to discuss this openly without links... and I think deletion and not simple locking of posts went too far. BUT... What's done is done.
