This forum needs to be removed.

All it is is people bashing SWG developers for reasons unknown. In NO way is this helping new players find the source of the anger from the NGE. I have seen NO posts regarding reasons why people have quit the NGE besides "$oe is a worthless piece of crap and the NGE is horrible". What? Huh? Oh, sorry, I was too busy looking for the point. The people here cannot move on and all this forum is doing is encouraging them to spread their worthless and horribly misinterpreted information.

It deserves to be removed.

Greetings one and all!

I wanted to write a quick note to explain, first, that the original wording for this forum might have been misleading. I have ammended it to be more inclusive of new and perspective players who are curious as to why so many people are angered over this particular game.

The reasoning behind the creation of our two new SWG forums was never to stifle anyone's opinions, but rather to give everyone a fair chance to express their views on this game. I realize that there are very strong feelings surrounding the sweeping changes that were made to this game, and we want to provide a place where people can discuss this issue. It has always been my intention to have this place be used as well by newcomers who are curious about gaining perspective on the events of this game's past, including the NGE and CU. I appologise if the original wording of the description for this forum was misleading, and hope that by adding to the description, I have cleared this up.

I hope that by providing these two seperate forums, these two distinct aspects and points of view on this game can both be heard so that everyone who has a voice, can be heard.

Jon Wood

*edit: I also wanted to clear up some confusion about the actual NAME of this forum.

From Dictionary.com, the word Refuge means:

1.

shelter or protection from danger, trouble, etc.: to take refuge from a storm.
2. a place of shelter, protection, or safety.
3. anything to which one has recourse for aid, relief, or escape.

I chose that name due to the controversey that is caused around people posting opinions about the changes. I thought that it was an appropriate for a forum dedicated to this particular subject.


thank you for being extremely one sided. They can trash us but cant take it?

I am an SWG original, I played beta 1 with thunderheart. Flame pre cu and I - WILL - destroy you.
PS Veteran as well, big shout out to emerald NC FTW!

This one has to be a joke or someone that has not been around the game for the last year... one or the other.

If your asking for a list of why the NGE is a failure and why the game is now in the dump then you need to open your eyes and look around.

Go to the SOE boards and just read them....

If you think this is a polished game that has treated its loyal playerbase well then you need to send a email to Mr. Smedley himself and ask him what happend, because your either the worst fanboi without any information or just some kid trying to piss people off.

Somthing is not right with this one... people under rocks know about this mess man.

Just wanted to say that a refuge is also a place for people who're without home... and seeing as SWG is gone, people do need a refuge to go to :) - that or sleep outside in the rain :P

I found my refuge another place, though, so never really went looking for one here.

Personally, I think it's a good idea for people who're tired of SOE's antics and angry about the NGE to have a place of their own.
