SOE is not blameless by any means. They should have had the fortitude to push back - but when your "boss" says do it, you do it
     
    End of the day is that LA will either learn from their decisions in SWG or they will push KOTOR down the same path. They are starting off with the platform for one of the best games ever - but porting that to a MMO may be a challenge. Regardless, I don't expect to see this thing until Q4 2009 or early 2010. The monkeys might have taken over by then

    Sorry, that's false. All LA said was, "make the game successful," the rest was SOE's idea, design, and implementation, which THEY pushed LA into accepting by misrepresenting what was wrong. LA didn't do their homework, and thought SOE knew what they were doing. Boy, was that a big mistake.

    It's too late to spread the "it came from LA" myth. Dan Rubenfeld and other ex-SOE employees (as well as current SOE employees) have dispelled that myth. In fact, Dan STILL thinks the NGE waas a good thing, as does Brenlo (communications director of SOE), they just feel the problem was marketing and communication.

    The problem was the reason the game was never successful was SOE's mismagememt. Therefore, the NGE, and the CU before it, which were merely attempts to cover up that fact, failed miserably.

    As long as SOE is not in the mix, with their flagrant dishonesty and lack of consideration for the playerbase, as well as their poor management, it should be a great game.

    
     

    I'm glad I didn't have to point this out yet again. Most star wars games have been pretty good (for the time they were released) why do people think that NGE was LA's fault in stead of SOEs. Because smeed said so? That's a reliable source. Given looking at SOEs track record and LA's I think I'll blame the company who has repeatedly yo-yoed just about every game they have ever controlled.

    The Combat role is straightforward.  There's the Tactical Specialist that's your typical tank, able to absorb a great deal of damage, and the Weapons Specialist that has a variety of weapon skills and able to put out a lot of damage or specialized damage as necessary...The Support Role has a Field Medic, again a pretty typical role, he is able to revive and heal

    Do they plan on letting all the stores know for when people decide to buy both thinking they need to? Are they planning to take the combo packs off the shelves as well or lowering the price for those to that of a single game? I can see some angry people up ahead when they buy both and then learn they didn't need to.

    
     

    This is twice i've seen this. COX has only published the merged boxes for almost 2 years now.

    
     

    Well then how the hell is this news if they've already had it done for two years?

    Like someone said before...now everyone who has played before has their accounts updated.

    Is this finally it ?

    
     

    I guess we can expect now another massive overhyped campaign to sell chewed content in another setting.

    
     

    We have a long time before we come to any conclusion like that. I always like to give a game company the bennifit of the doubt and let them drown themselves.

    I see it the other way around. This mmo will probably be what the NGE should have been if done right, rather than anything like preCU. It might be a good game never-the-less but I'm not expecting a sandbox or skill based profession system, or a rich crafting system supporting an extensive player driven economy. This will be an NGE'er wet dream. A single player star wars game in an mmo setting.

    
     

    Yes I highly doubt this is going to be SWG. But any starwars game done well is better then what there is currently.
