Sorry but you lost any respect you may have got from me the minute you asked people who hadnt even played the game to sign.

ARRRRGHHH. First, I agree with 5150. Second, most of what you don't like about SWG is probably because of Lucas Arts. Look at the track records:

SOE = the MOST SUCCESSFUL MMORPG EVER MADE.

Lucas Arts = A couple of good movies and a bunch of crappy games.

Hmm which would you pick to make a game?

I assume you're referring to EQ as the most successful mmorpg ? In that case, why are you giving SOE credit for it ? Some other company (Verant I believe) made EQ and SOE simply bought them out and released some buggy expansions to keep players paying.

Verant = EQ = Good

SOE > Verant = Bad

Fact is SOE hasnt made a decent mmorpg on their own and have an established record of buying other mmorps and ruining them.

It explains Sony's involvement with Everquest.

It is a great idea to improve SWG and i have signed the petition in the hope SWG will be improved. However we dont know if Lucasarts will improve the game. Therefore you shouldn't say that lucasarts is better then SOE but just say that SWG has to be improved even if it will mean takeover by lucasarts.

Fact is you have your facts crooked. SOE is the reason EQ existed, got started, and currently exists. For the umpteeth time here is the story of EQ as told by the man himself in Buisness 2.0 Magazine:

  1. Smeadly was a cog in the wheel at SONY. He set up a meeting with the CEO of Sony. He pitched his idea for EQ. He got kicked out the door.

  2. Sony later gets a new CEO. Smeadly sets up a meeting with him. He gets kicked out the door.

  3. Smeadly sets up another meeting with the CEO of Sony. This time he's armed with the success of UO. Sony takes notice and gives the OK. Sony puts up the money to start EQ. EQ cost 5 million to make.

  4. Right before EQ is finnished, Sony pulls the rug. Smeadly gets fired. EQ is shut down.

  5. Smeadly forms his own company to finnish work on EQ.  EQ gets finnished and released. It becomes more of a success than Smeadly (and McQuaid) ever dreamed.

  6. Like all good, patriotic Americans  who own American companies making American products from American ideas...... (Harley-Davidson, mini-vans, MP3, CDs, DVDs, cars, airplanes, TVs, radios, computers) ...... Smeadly gets rid of EQ. He goes back to Sony and says give me 35 million, and my job back with a promotion, and you can have EQ back again. Sony gives him his wish. EQ goes on to gross between 200 million to 400 million in profit with a whopping 40% over head. Most fortune 100 companies operate under a 60 to 70% overhead. 

 Sony = put up the money to make EQ

 Sony = pulled the rug from under EQ right before it finnished.

 Varant = finnished work on EQ.

 Varant = sold its butt back to Sony.  On purpose wanted Sony to become its pimp daddy mac.

 If only you and others knew how much you are falling for the wrong thing. LucasArts are the ones responsible for pushing Jedi. For their being a Jedi Hologrind which did irreperable and permenant damage to the quality SWG player community.

 LucasArts has long been co-partners with SOE in making SWG ... but has NEVER ever tried interacting with the SWG player community - except one time. When LucasArts went after some players! Trying to shut down a well known player site! SWG players had to ban together and FIGHT LucasArts, forcing them to back down off of going after those SWG fans and players!

 LucasArts on purpose went behind the backs of the SWG game DEVs TWO times. 1 time posting beta screenshots without telling the SWG game devs. Another time doing far more damage by making their own Flash ad for SWG promoting SWG as a Jedi game.

Done and done!  Petition signed!  As an Ex-Star Wars Galaxies player (Been playing since Nov'03 too) I must say the game has taken a huge downfall.

Unbalanced due to Doctor Buffs & 80% Kinetic Resistance Armor.  Quests that are impossible to finish to become a Jedi in order to keep the Jedi population low.   No more PVP since only 1-2 templates destroy every other template.  Anyways you get the idea, if you played or are playing SWG, you gotta agree with me... SOE screwed up big time.

Bah who cares, it's their loss.  4 of my colleages (2 accounts each) and myself with 3 accounts cancelled our characters.  They will just keep losing people and SWG will die.

Abemon

but if swg will die, it will become freeware game with lots and lots of freeplay servers , but there will be noone to make patches, quests etc.
