SOE has stated over and over that there will be no classic servers.
Yeah but it is SoE. They lie and mislead their players all the time. Of course that's why I won't play a SoE game again, even a preCU SWG but with their track record it is fair to ignore statements like that.
I'm not saying I have done a pretty good job at helping the cause...
But I admit my heart is just not in it.
I think at this stage it needs to die.... it just does. So many things could be left then...
We need a "do over" from another company and somthing different yet the same... no promises, no missleadings, no lies, no setbacks.
We need this to start over with a clean slate actually for any of this to work at this point.
I just can't see ANY business consider this worthy unless this happens.
Sorry... I would love it, but it just can't happen now.

Yeap at this point i would say a new Star wars mmo would be the way to, SWG has such a bad rep, i boubt anything they did to the game will ever bring it back, they had thier chance, and they let it get away when they tried to keep going for the big buck.
" Every time you change your buisness and/or product to attract new customers, you risk loosing the customers you allready have"
The NGE was supposed to be the WoW system, but they failed. Yeap wow is highly succesfull cause it was built with that direction in mind, SWG changing it's gamepley to match it was a bad idea.
Now if they would have taken the time, to make sure there were enough quests and content, and make sure the staple marks of OLD SWG would be transfered over, i think it might have been recieved a little better.
All in all the NGE might have been fine if was a different SW game entirely.
