I really shouldn't be reading these kind of post unless they are official post made by soe. I just caught myself thinking its gonna be great to go hunt for meat so i can make stims or throw down some small harvestor to get ore for my hammers, sigh...
I hope soe comes out quick with a statement tomorow, to either confirm or deny, its killing me already.
Actually, I'm a self professed SOE hater and all they stand for. I'm also a SWG refugee and no longer play.
While I understand you can't possibly know everyones history here, it makes you look like a fool to assume that because I think it should be left to die that I'm a current player of SWG.
You couldn't pay me enough to play that trainwreck.
Not one of these "rumors" are every true. Ever. There will never be a Pre-CU server from SOE. You can wish and hope all you like I just don't think it'll happen.
Well swgmod001 seems bent out of shape for sure, on this topic at the SWG forums. All i keep thinking about is the guy who posted the NGE was real and jedi would become a starter proffession. Atleast if this comes out to be true, the game would be reverting back to when it was good, instead of how it is now.
No, not the same guy. This guy that posted the information on SWG forums, said he heard this from a realiable source that is in Austin, where SOE is located at. Two differant people.
The guy that posted the thread we're discussing here claims he lives in Austin, TX. I tried to get him to validate this info and he pretty well told me where to stick it. So here, like I did there, I'm calling BS on this one, how ever much I'd like to believe it to be truth.
hmm... I'm torn between too opinions here, on the one hand, I'm really glad that Lucasarts is finally putting their foot down on SOE with SWG, but on the other hand, I still can't forgive them for what they did to me and my friends back in pre-cu.... I may try it if it comes out like the rumor says... I 'may'.... As long as John Smedley isn't involved in the project fully anymore I might actually be willing to give it a chance but we'll see.
Quoting people doesn't make you clever, in fact, it makes you all the more stupid for not bothering to read the quotes you post in the first place.

I myself left SWG 2 weeks after NGE went live... I was one of the people that laughed at the "rumor" of Jedi being a starting profession.
But it was not out of blind loyalty to Sony either.
I was a permament Test Center player... I was a JTL beta tester.. a CU beta tester.. and a ToOW beta tester.
I talked with many and helped many of the dev team in charge of Test Center. I can confidently say they were blind sided as well.
1 week before trials of obi wan went live 3 of the devs I worked with quit SOE. resigned and would not tell us why. Only thing just 1 of them said was... "something is about to happen that I refuse to be on my resume as a Gaming develpoer staff" and we didnt know till 1 week after Trials was live we on test Center were told TC is being shut down to load on NGE .. of coarse we had no clue what NGE was or stood for or even that it ment New Game enhancemnt. We were told that the TC community was going to be set to frog status for intrenal tests and we should be able to let the player back on soon. IF you dont know, it was a key word meening set to defualt state with our community and character mothballed on a back up data.
SOE didnt even know NGE existed till trials was almost done Beta testing from what I can tell.
But Im a player , I will never really know what they were informed of or not.
We cant say that the rumors are never true. Infact with SOE and SWG its the one game, where often enough now Rumors ARE true.
Rumor 1 ppl all laughed at.... "SOE is removing holo grind and making a set of quests so you can unlock" Happened
Rumor 2 ppl laughed at.... "SOE is disabling the FRS and no intention of turning it back on" Was true.. later stated that FRS was not what they intened for SWG and would work and a new system for Jedi, Which as we know turned out to be NGE jedi as a started ....
Rumor 3 ppl laughed at... "SOE will make weapon and Item drops far better then Crafters can make" no one wanted or believed this as SWG was a total crafter /playe rdriven economy..Sony wouldnt kill the game .... right? nope they did that as well...
Rumor 4 ppl laughed at ... " SOE is removing 27 professions and changing to class baised game with FPS combat and Jedi will be a starting profession" well.. simply put...NGE
All these rumors ... from someone who knows someone ... lol... we teased..flamed... made fun of... ridiculed..
All these rumors came true.....
Now in SWGs darkest days...a new rumor... one we vets DO want to hear.
Like so many others I want and I doubt it will happen.. because after 3 years of play to be so brutally betrayed with by SOE it is now hard for us to accept the IDea that SOny will make teh right choice after so many bad choices.
I dont know...its probaly all BS... but "IF it happens" .. Yes I will re-sub all 4 of my accounts... and contact all of Guild Star ppl Im still in contact from with Eurpoe-chimaera server + thsoe hard core dedicated star guildies STILL in game today that ... we ...one of teh largest Entertainer guilds in SWG ever... ARE COMING BACK!!!
do i really think that will happen? no... not really... but if they do ...we will come back...
remeber what was taken from us ....

The 'rollback' rumor has been going for around 2 years now. I believe the first one was Feb the 1st, then it was june the 7th, october 9th, couple more dates aswell, I'm not trying to step on your wishes, but it's never going to happen.
LMAO... im still waiting for the best SWG chapter ever.
CHAPT 11 Bankruptcy
Due to our High arrogance and WOW obsession/Julio torres wetdream weve come to realize that we cant financially prolong the servers. So were announcing a server wide planet demolition which will feature the death star blowing up each in game planet. We can offically tell you that World of star wars is coming in 2008 which will feature Ogres with legendary sabers just name a few of the new WGE (World of Warcraft enhancements)
Even if a rollback happens they still dont get and they never will. You need fans in the workplave for one now wow fans star wars fans.You need people who understand star wars to not idiots at convention booth spitting out every want to play a wookie? hang out with darth vader now u can. I think anyone working on SWG should have to pass a 300 page test of star wars trivia lol seriously. Im really hoping bioware is gonna pull kotor 3 online out of its ass otherwise im in LOTRO my new home where theres real devs and full servers

They'll nuke the thread and ignore the whole thing.
Issuing a denial won't change anything, because they've lied so frequently about this sort of thing for so long.

I am not a fanboy of Pre-NGE nor the NGE. I'm just a star wars nut who loves MMO's and will adapt to whatever we get.
All spelling and grammar errors are made solely for the entertainment of those who like to point them out.
In any case it is saved here. It's still interesting to note that it wasn't just outright deleted, unless I misunderstand SOE's method of 'deletion'
I wonder why they moved it instead of just outright deleting it..

I wonder why they moved it instead of just outright deleting it.. Moving is deletion. It was moved to the trash bin.

The way the forum works, the thread is moved to a black hole that no one can look into without the right permissions.
Needless to say, those permissions belong to the mods alone.
