Community RollBack Now!  SOE should open source SWG so we can roll it back, and then finish the game.

What is the benefit to the company to do that?  Is this an entitlement thing or were you going somewhere with this thought?

filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise. It is like they don't care about the pvp community.

Nitth: What makes you so sure its a simple fix?

filmoret: Because most of them are. Sometimes its just changing a number in a code string other times its creating a few variables. However none of them should take over a few hours of coding.

I am sure this could happen once some one pays Lucas Arts a bazillion dollars.

Remember SOE owns the code but someone else owns the name.

The rights belong to lucas not Soe so trying to get them to release a open source, can actully get them sued.

SOE, Lucas, whomever... the code isn't making money now, so why not give it to the public?

Last time I did read about it, the emu worked better than the original, but I haven't tried myself.

Because companies don't work this way.

SOE will sit on the code for hopes of future profit.

This is not true. It still lacks a ton of things that were present in the live game.

For me it's there to fill some sense of nostalgia, but it's not something I would sink all of my free time into.

They can't agree on what to add there.

They haven't even gotten around to adding in the JTL content with a basic Ship for each faction and the Neutrals.

I know of a Specific group that have taken everything thats on Liberator...and are patching JTL to it for their own version.
