There is a self proclaimed Sith Lord on the SWG boards who calls himself Ablon. This guys has made some great posts over the years. He predicted  during beta 3 years ago that if the management style of SWG did not change the population of SWG would die out. Then the numbers would force SWG to dwindle into being shut down. He is still there making suggestions to improve the game amongst the 100 other designers who still play the game. 

The real solution is to close SWG and let a game company who understands Star Wars as a fan to make an amazing MMO that is worthy of the name. SWG\SOE has one last chance to fix their problems after the talent tree goes live.

The funny thing with Ablon is that he is a real designer for games and wants to make a new SWG MMO-

I am interested in Shadow Bane due to its design and content. Is it free or is a monthly fee involved? Not that I mind that. I get eh montly allownace from the wife! I also play SWG and WoW. And a frelancer mod. I just love games\MMOS. After so many years I am more into the design and playability of a game over anything else. And I do enjoy PvP\MMO style.

So how is Shadow Bane? Lame posts like it sucks will go into the idiot bin.

This is a well written article.

Copying WoW is ridiculous and shows the lack of creativity, insecurity, & envy from SOE's management. And the truth of the matter is that SOE does have some talent. But I bet that talent is held back due to the idiots that run it all. As a beta tester of SWG I was so let down by poor game design. Vehicles & space were a breath of fresh air but they have done nothing with space in the last 2 years. Wookie textures look like a old background texture from Mac OS 7 which is the surface for Naboo. And what’s funny is that I make better content with map editors then these noobs for other games and mods!

I for one crave a really good SCI FI MMO and cannot wait for my 3 month SWG subscription to come to a closure! This articles says it all!!!!!

****attention******SOE----- Quality also means originality. Copying the formula that Blizzard made is like sticking your head in lava. From the world of IT I call you “eeee-deeeee-ots”.
