• • The NGE and beyond from it's creator

  • Here is my take on this. We know the designers were just doing what they were told. Remember what happened when Tiggs said no? Of course everyone was going to say yes Sir to corporate. Bottom line is SOE should have fixed the issues with the original game and not of screwed over 200k subs. Then they should have relaunched SWG (with all the bug fixes) and worked on gaining subs from there. I remember pre CU very well. Yes it was buggy but people put up with it because we believed SOE would fix a game we loved. All along while they should have been adressing issues they were working on a new game altogether. Pre NGE was not perfect but compared to all other mmo's i have played it was number 1 in my book.

    If NGE was released as it's own game and pre cu never existed yes it would be by todays standards be considered a decent mmorpg. It's not about all the hard work this guy put into NGE it's about a jack ass sitting at his desk (Smed) who decided to screw over 200k subs to go after a WOW market.  SWG was ahead of it's time. Currently all we have our cookie cutter MMORPG's Perhaps if original SWG plans had not been scrapped it would be a bigger game for the simple fact that it would be the only thing on the market that is different.

    People are getting sick of cookie cutter games. The SWG we all know and loved was not this.

• • Star Wars Galaxies: Chapter 10 Puzzles

  • "we want to make the game more Star Warsy and Iconic."

                               ..thats all i have to say about that!!!!

    people want puzzles! not to play a moisture farmer!! We want people to experience the puzzles they see in the movies!

    Unfortinitly adding puzzles to the game is really going to throw the NGE fanboi's for a curve if pre NGE was too complex for them.

    I heard Next publish will be learn your ABC's with Jar Jar

     

    SOE Please stop beating it, it is dead already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• • When STAR WARS kotor 3 hits...the galaxies and the NGE will R.I.Pieces

  • I agree that KOTOR mmorpg will be the /db to SWG. It makes baby Jesus happy!

    It did not have to be that way though. I know if SOE/Smed had decided to admit to their mistakes roleback and not be so cockey SWG could still be alive today. I also know i would keep both subs current on both a KOTOR mmo and SWG if that were the case. At that point if two Star Wars games were running well and bringing in money there would be no reason to get rid of one. Its all about the money.

    LA had nothing to do with implimentation of the NGE. It was all SOE chasing the WOW market. The only thing LA did was supply SOE with the content and give them (SOE the company who LA  trusted in) permission to develope a MMO. What SOE did with it after that was not LA fault but LA's mistake for blindly approving.

    Star Wars has a massive fan following. Inorder for SOE to get SWG to the point where it currently is today the results tell a story of just how many Star Wars fans SOE pissed off. The result is SOE turning away fans who have stood in line 5 days to see Episode III but no longer want to have anything to do with a Star Wars game because of how badly SOE ran it into the ground.

    Now that we have a crediable and dependable company such as Bioware calling the shots on a new Star Wars mmo, we might finally see SWG suffer the same fate as Old Yeller. A Bioware Star Wars MMORPG will do well just for the simple fact it is Star Wars. Also it will help that unlike SOE,  Bioware has yet to make an ass of themselves in the mmorpg community.

    -SOE amazes me with their arrogence and on the day Smed gets fired i want to be first in line to give him a swift kick in the ass.

     

    You can bet Bioware will be getting a few subs from me with a KOTOR mmorpg release.

  • Don't get to excited though guys!

    As everyone is aware from my past posts i left SWG a long while ago.

    I have two friends who played the game since launch with me. I can honestly say they have stuck with the games through it's ups and downs. When NGE hit they were ticked off like everyone else but tried to stay with the game.After my departure these two continued to give SOE a chance to redeem themselves. Ever since i stopped playing SWG they would try to entice me to come back and every once and a while i would go back just to see what the game was like only to turn around and walk  right back out the door.

    Last week when AOC was released i told them to go get it and give it a try. I was in AOC Beta and while the game has it's up's and downs like any other MMO, it  does show promise. Well needless to say my two friends both purchased AOC and to my surprise finally un subbed from SWG. "for good"

    To me this is a sign of the times. For these two players to finally leave SWG it shows me even SWG's loyalist of fans are starting to turn their backs, run and head for cover. While i have decided AOC is not for me, i'm glad me trying it was able to make my two friends happy and take a few bucks out of SOE's wallets. I never thought these two would end up retiring their sabers but to my surpirse they have.

    I spoke to them yesterday after they had been play AOC for a full week and they now see what a mmo is suppose to be like even if it is not perfect. They now both agree SWG will soon suffer the same fate as the famous X-Wing piolet Porkins.

     Just wanted to share this might bring a smile to some of our forum members faces

    Sorry for spelling and grammer i'm half way out the door on my way to work
