Doesnt Make sense to me at all....

Why every Game developer is stuck on the whole lets copy wow and try make a better wow? if i wanted to play wow ill just resub and play it..id like one to make a copy of the old Precu game and make it close to the same..dont really care if its scifi or not just the same setups..Would make sense to me but oh wait its to complicated and we need to appeal to the loot grind loot crowd..Man what i wouldnt give for a classic Precu server id resub all 4 of my accounts even tho i didnt need but 2..Funny how a game can do that..i compare all games by precu Galaxies and they all seem the same to me..not saying they are bad just so boring and the same ole same ole..Galaxies changed what i look for in a game now i loved the sandbox do what u want gameplay it had..

I know they all want to cash in on the whole wow craze..but not all of us enjoy that,i want depth and fun and the choices swg allowed us..that game no matter how bugged and broke it was,it was a blast to play..So why wont SOE throw up a classic server or 2 and take my money??..lord knows they need it now that the New Garbage Enhancements have tanked..Classic servers would be a great we are sorry for thinking players wanted a more star warsy iconic wow clone..i know i dont and i play wow some cause its ok at times but it doesnt hold my intrest at all just all my guildmates are there...

Since last Years Community Summit i dont wonder myself about SWG devs anymore. The current devs have absolutly NO IDEA of SWG. I asked a few crafter Questions and they were pretty much amazed that there were crafters, and as i got support from the other visitors that there were non crafter WHO LIKED the old hard way to craft something. They cant understand why we would like something so not wow like. I even had to explain how the old crafting system worked. And after the offical part of the summit ended some devs stated in private that the NGE was the biggest mistake ever done ..... at least they admit it .. well some of them.

Here ya go -- Sound familar --   "Sounds like a looting issue", "We will get back to you on that" or "We will take that back with us and have a look at that"...

Or...  NUMBER ONE on our list per pub..   "Fix Bugs"......   The plan as you saw there shows exactly how well this worked out.

How the NGErs don't see it is beyond me.   I really think that the majority of the playerbase right now is in denial about how bad the game is... no joke, I'm not even kidding.    I really really think... they are.   I think that if most of them sat down read what is out there and said about the game that they would see it for what it is.    They would question it and so on... you have to think that they can think that far into it though... so instead of saying  "Sure the game is bad BUT they are working on bringing things back"...  They have to say that about 10 times and then realize what they just said...

Like "W t f ... why do they have to bring things back????  We had them??? Why do they have to waste the time to bring things back in a bastardized form if they had them the way people wanted the first time????    Why waste months and months of time then post in notes like it's new and that it took the time away from making the game better based on content???  When in fact we had what we wanted long before and they COULD be working on content if they had not fucked up so bad????

This is starts the questions... but see this is common sense and product purchasing... somthing I am not sure the current playerbase sees.

I know the only things that kept me playing as long as I did were 1)  Its the only Star Wars MMO out there;  2)  Sci Fi > Fantasy IMO;  3)  No good Sci Fi alternatives;  4)  Friends.



Eventually though all my friends left, I found alternative Star Wars games to get my fix which while they weren't as deep as SWG they at least entertained (i.e. Battlefront 2, KOTR 1 & 2, Jedi Academy, Empire at War),  and I realized that while I liked Sci Fi better than fantasy there just aren't any decent SciFi MMO's available right now while there are some fantastically polished fantasy ones.



Bottom line is that I would rather watch SW movies and play crappy SW games than invest time, money and soul into a SW MMO that is shoddy, unprofessional and negates all your hard work and goals every few months on a whim.

No mather how mutch I hate SOE, I would be back in a sec if Classic servers went live again. I would probably forgive, but not forget what they've done. Why NOT bring back a few PreCU servers and just collect money from that and run NGE. Im one of the founders of a 400ish Guild (close to 500 now) and alot of those are SWG PreCU fanatics and after looking around the net there is a shitload of people still dreaming of our beloved game and that is 1,5++ year after they made it crap.

It dont make any sense to me except if SOE dont want to admit they Fekked up, but reeeeeeealllly we all know

And see that is the real sad part...

"It is the only Star Wars MMO out there".

This is the part that sucks and is exactly why I feel sorry for anyone playing.... most know it sucks... but it's the IP that keeps them.

Sad..
