Given the lad jake whatshisname works for LA he's hardly going to say the games crap is he?
My gripe isn't with what Jake Nerdy Kid said. It's with the interviewer, how once again does not ask any questions worth asking. It would seem that LA/SOE once again set this interview up as more PR for a game that isn't going anywhere. Since when has anything LA/SOE said been the truth? It's standard pre-prepared answers that were given. The interviewer might have been Jake Nerdy Kid him self. This is just another pointless interview that answers nothing about what is going on with SWG. Looking at SOE's track record, since when has a game that is doing well, not received CONSTANT expansion packs? When SWG was in its hay day, how many expansion packs did it receive? Then CUNGE hit and how many expansion packs since? That about sums it up.
EA is just as money grubbing and cold hearted as SOE. That alone will make me say that no matter what the secret MMO Bioware was making, EA will MAKE them switch it over to Star Wars. And EA could give a rats ass about what Bioware thinks about working with other IP's, so that's a moot point.

And there you have it, straight from Lucas Arts. No pre-NGE servers, no sequels since they are happy with SWG ( might as well get over the Bioware Star Wars rumors now), and the game will continue to be developed for awhile to come. So, maybe finally, the "give us pre-cu" cries will die. SOE and LA have both made their intentions known now. Anyone who still thinks they can "make" SOE and/or LA conform to disgruntled vet demands are now truly deluded.
Yes, it's true. Mr. Neri does say there will be no pre-CU servers. Then again, six months ago, Mr. Smedley was saying that the NGE was '90% successful'. Now, of course, he says it was a 'big mistake and one we won't be making again'. What Mr. Neri says now may not be what he says in six months' time.

But no more so then you....
Will i ever buy a $OE or LA game again.... hmmmmmmmmmmm NO WAY IN HELL........
You may say what point in that, I say im speaking with my money, they dont get it and they wont get it...$
LA has come out with great non-mmos. so what if they screwed up SWG their other games are great.
Hold on Snow Leopard, imma let you finish, but Windows had one of the best operating systems of all time.

That's not strictly speaking true. LA has partnered with some great studios who, despite all the obstruction, misdirection and wrong-headedness of LA have still managed to come out with some passable games. To see what I mean google 'Obsidian' and 'Kotor 2'.
What he meant by no plans for an expansion was that they would focus on finishing beta and completing the game.
What he means is, there is no chance of an expansion earning a profit because there aren't enough players playing the game, and there is no indication that there ever will be. They aren't not making expansions because they are altruistic, they aren't making expansions because there is no chance they could even recover the cost of production. If SOE and LEC thought they could make a single dollar in profit from an expansion, there would have been one for sale sometime in the past twenty two months.
What he meant by no plans for an expansion was that they would focus on finishing beta and completing the game.
Funny isn't it when they say "no plans" for an expansion it's assumed that there will be one eventually, yet they also say "no plans" for a pre-NGE server and people assume it means never.
Delueded maybe lol...... But no more so then you.... Will i ever buy a $OE or LA game again.... hmmmmmmmmmmm NO WAY IN HELL........ You may say what point in that, I say im speaking with my money, they dont get it and they wont get it...$

look at this :

Thats mature talk and you know what i add this too :
I will never allow my childs to ever obtain or play anb $OE game (all acounts unsubbed).

Are you sure this isnt a duck report instead of nge? They way talk its not about the current game thats a bigger load then any toilet can handle lol.

Jake Neri: Actually yes. We just released a digital download version of our compilation pack, Star Wars Galaxies: The Complete Online Adventures through www.Direct2Drive.com. For players eager to come back to SWG, or to try it out for the first time, this download makes it easier than ever. The download includes the base game, all the expansion packs, a ton of bonus content, and even an exclusive in-game item, all for $19.99.
*Games on our site will be treated just as we treat people. Unsubstantiated comments about specific or general games will be penalized in nearly the same way attacks against people will. The exception is that you can say mean things about games provided you back it up with reasons. Example: "Game X sucks." is not a legitimate comment. "Game X sucks, because..." is acceptable.
And there you have it, straight from Lucas Arts. No pre-NGE servers, no sequels since they are happy with SWG ( might as well get over the Bioware Star Wars rumors now), and the game will continue to be developed for awhile to come.

I will never stop.
Besides I don't have any thing better to do.
once you have played Pre CU SWG no other game will do.
god isnt that the truth?

a digital download for $19.99? not even worth 0.99 cents
is this the guy that got nancy " reading is bad" mcintyre's (i dont rememeber her name, this could be totally wrong ) job when she got booted um i mean promoted after saying that?
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
This "interview" / press release is simply a load of crap. Nothing more than a bad attempt to ignore the facts surrounding the game and put a spin on it that SOME idiots may accept.
No retail expansion? They want to focus on adding in "chapter" content and new adventures... LMAO, in layman's the game isn't doing well because if it WAS, LA and SOE would be planning an expansion that would MAKE them money. The game isn't complete so why expand on it yet? There will never be an expansion.
No sequel? Of course not. There won't be for a long time because HE knows, LA knows, and SOE really knows that this game is now industry taboo. The dedicated playerbase of 20,000 or so paying "beta-testers" is about all they could achive with a sequel.
This is nothing more than LA propoganda. Mark my words, there won't be another chapter going online until Spring, NOT Winter. 7 will go live sometime in November/December and 8 will go live sometime in April/May at the earliest.
Not that I believe much of anything LA says but it seems there really are no Pre-CU servers coming. I never thought there would be anyways. SWG is a dying game on life-support. At this point we all know there are better options.

Isn't the next Chapter already on TC though?
It may be, in that case it will come out in the next week or 2. If so then the next chapter still won't go live until April/May, if they are consistent on their updates. A small development team apparently can only do su much.

Anyone who still thinks they can "make" SOE and/or LA conform to disgruntled vet demands are now truly deluded.
To me, all this really shows is that SOE is NOT handling the 'distant' future of the Star Wars MMO, as they won't be coming out with either a sequel nor expansions.... instead, just some content patches from time to time... possibly to hold onto players as long as possible til the end of SOE Star Wars Galaxies... BioWare could still very well be working on a new Star Wars MMO for 2010/11 [As their secret MMO is due out around then] so SOE can coast for a couple more years. So if anything, this would lean slightly more to supporting someone else will be responsible for a SW MMORPG future.
Why do I write, create, fantasize, dream and daydream about other worlds? Because I hate what humanity does with this one.
I concur with DeaconX that this if anything supports that Bioware, or someone else, will be doing a new Star Wars MMO in the close future, if not in development already (*fingers crossed*). That would certainly explain, if anything, why SOE is running SWG with so little support and a skeleton crew.
However, might also be that they're cheap bastards that doesn't want to pay a cent more than necessary to keep a "decent" subscription number...

Jake Neri: Time has been kind to SWG. We are going strong in our fourth year of live service, with a dedicated and passionate fan base and a talented dev team motivated to serve our players. In an ever-changing MMO marketplace, this has been no easy feat, but I think our success lies in how the development team has stay active and flexible in responding to community feedback.
Time has been kind? I thought about 200 000 players, including me, quit this game when SOE/LA deleted all our professions, quest progress, disabled our in-game items, deleted our vet rewards, sold us stuff in an expansion--then removed it from the game, etc. etc.. He then refers to this as success? Well he does say our success "lies" lol--freudian slip?
How 'bout saying, "We really screwed over our playerbase when we removed their game to chase after the WoW crowd. Man did that ever blow up in our faces. We learned how not to treat a gaming community the hard way. I only hope we can find some way to make amends and rebuild something from the ashes."
That would be more in touch with reality, and much more believable.

The funny part is the "devs being motivated to serve the player base"... I read quite a few times that some devs threatened to shut off communication from the players on suggestions and bug/exploit complaint, like seriously WTF?

Time heals all wounds. However, the NGE would need time on an Astronomic scale to heal it's wounds.
In other words, everyone involved as perp or victim will have to have been dead for at least a billion years.
