Loche announced he was moving on to DCUO today and that Fiasco would be replacing him as the Lead Designer for SWG. Losing Loche is a big blow to the SWG community and anyone who knew him - he was one hell of a Developer and every problem/issue I ever had that I brought to his attention, he fixed quickly, correctly and handled it very professionally. DC is very fortunate to get him. Fiasco I have very little knowledge of. He's been there a long time, worked on the Chronicles system and...Ewok Love Fest (lets assume he had no choice ;) )...has 53 posts since 2003 and seems to go in 3-month increments. I'm sure he'll be great though. I do, however, have to worry about the dwindling staff for this game. As far as I know, the only people left (Devs) are: Adeptstrain, Fiasco, Teesquared, HanseSOE, and Jaskell. 5 devs isn't a lot with the problems this game has. But I wish them all the best of luck...they have a helluva mess to clean-up IMO.

Announces beta sign ups, on the TOR website. Not beta, game testing, totally different things. There is a post on the SW:TOR forums explaining the difference, and this is pretty old news. I think sign-ups went up 1-2 months ago.

Sony has already ruined the rep for SWG, and it will never regain its footing.

I think about 99% of the current players know that. Thanks for taking the bold stance. BTW, haven't you been saying the "NGE is now dead" for about four years now? So I started to walk into the water. I won't lie to you boys...I was terrified. But I pressed on, and as I made my way past the breakers, a strange calm came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things, but I tell you, Jerry, at that moment ... I was a marine biologist.

The only thing they could ever do to make SWG even a contender again to be an OK game is take it back to the way it was. SOE has said time and time again they cant they lost the code its over no way it will happen ect ect. So with that said I can see SWG by this time next year offline for good. I really loved SWG but I am not going to pump any money into a game to boost thier numbers a bit just for it to fail it would be like giving a homeless guy 5 bucks he is just going to buy booze with it anyways so whats the point. The only thing they could ever do is fire you know who take him out side burn him from a stake video tape it put it on PPV I would pay to watch him burn in a fire wile eating popcorn wearing a I saw Smedley Die T- shirt. That would be justice in my opinion

I, for 1, took no pleasure watching Kauri go down. Kind of a surreal moment and all I thought was that it didn't have to be. I actually re-subed my main account to see it go.

Kobie, Muahahaha Now to the point that I made on Fringe - I applaud Loche in his cockroach survival of the CU and the NGE but I would wonder since he was around since the beginning of SWG would he have an idea of the alleged lost code of the Pre Cu?

Originally posted by Hardlinemonk ok guys lets all send him hate mail until this new dev brings back pre-cu Heh, as far as I can tell, a lot of the developers have strongly opposed things like the CU, the NGE etc.. Some left SOE over it under various circumstances, others asked to be transferred to other projects according to Dan Rubenfield. On the other hand, some did agree to "build a toilet in the living room" (one dev's metaphor for the NGE) just because the boss ordered it. Others suggested the living room toilet in the first place, claiming that it would somehow save the game. Those devs, few though they may be, I do think contributed to the problem. By and large though, the developers don't seem to be steering this ship. It seems to be run by marketting and management; and imo run poorly.
