Well Im a Former SWG player. I started about Publish 7. I cancelled , no exagerating 4 Accounts all on the same day. Nov 25th. Yes I actually tried the NGE before walking away.
When NGE went Live... the day before it I was a Master Lightsaber/Master Defender on Intrepid server. On Euro-Chimaera server I was a MBH/MCM and I have a 3rd account that was a Master Entertainer/master dancer/master musician/master ID, and the 4th account was a Master Architect/ Droid Enigeneer.
NGE goes Live...
Im now a generic CL80 Force sensitive (with a Elder Jedi title) on Intrepid.
My Master Archi... is now a CL 1 Master Trader
My Master MBH/MCM ... well Combat medic is no longer in game I was left as a Elder BH
My Ent is now a CL 1 Master Ent.. since Image designer, Muscian and dancer proffessions no longer exisit.
I never AFK grinded any of them. I did it all the hard way... took me almost 3 years to get where I was. Gues what... I was happy in the state of the game. I was excited and thrilled with the Trials of Obi-wan expasion. I had it pre order for 2 of my 4 accounts.
Mostly in the last days of Pre NGE I was on Intrepid. Full templete , non- factional JEdi that spent 10-12 hours a day helping othe rplayers with grinding, advising, settling disputes in the guild wars (mostly a RP thing) and training new Jedi and helping them with there Padawan trials. and fighting off the occasional Bounty Hunter, which was thrilling a rush ..
I was HAPPY!! there was no "end game" it was a virtual life as a Jedi.. as I wanted .. as I thought a jedi should be! I never joined the alliance or the empire, cause I felt it didn't fit the era so I did my own part living on tatooine training the new ppl and helping other with there village grind.
I was HAPPY!!!
for my near the 3 years of $15 /mo ... on 4 accounts.... I was told by SOE exec that the rumors were untrue..that no major changes were happening... I bought my TooW expansions..and got 1 week to enjoy Mustafar before all that I had ever know...dreamed of ...and loved..was stripped of me...Changed .. and utterly destroyed!
My only last thought.. as I press cancel account.. and I will definatly admit... it really ...truely...deeply ...broke my heart... that I had a tear in my eye As I logged out for the last time. WAs .... I now know how the Jedi council might have felt at learning Palpitine was the Dark Lord of the Sith.
what is called SWG... is not ...in any shape or form.. what Im a Vet player of. Its something differnt, Dark , and twisted. Comparable to Anikin and vader change.
Now .. Im happy .. Im in RFO!!!!! and its near the comabt system I deeply loved in OLD SWG.
and I sit .. and wish for the ROLL BACK I know in my saddened heart that .. my work .. my time.. my fees paid.. my hours spent... my Friends made and guild mates...now all lost as well as we all scattered to diffent games. Will never happen. Even if it did.
Could I forgive SOE/LA for there Betrayal of trust to give us the game we bought? Played? LIVED for 3 years!!
I don't think so. YEs .. I still have screen shots.. and still remeber all the great and wonderful ppl and Vailent Bounty Hunters.. and repected Guild enemies. I am gald I had that opportunity to play the Best MMORPG there was... till the day it Died on Mustafar and became a Dark, evil, mere shadow of its former self.
How fitting.... SWG died with Anikin..on Mustafar. and Vader reborn and destroyed the republic... SOE did to SWG with the NGE !!
personally... I don't think Mr. Lucas has ever been told what happened. Nor.. would he really care, he is a story teller. Not a banker. all he knows is like 50 video games been made based on his story. why is this one any differnt? To him..and anyone else who never played PRE-NGE.
you will never get to know, just how great a community and loyal even obessivly fanatic and dedicated fan base you HAD!
forgive my ranting... I never posted a farewell on the SWG forum or anywhere else till now. Nor will I ever again.
LA.... if you see this..... FIRE SOE!!!! Hire a real company...maybe Codemasters ...there great!
*bows graciously*
Farewell to all my Friends ... I miss you all...
*in loving memory of Intrepid Server and Euro-chimaera server*
*Tiggs !!!! you are not forgotten!!!!*

I think most of us can agree that the game is already in "sunset".
Over a year ago , when I was banned for alleged forum misuse. (SOE recently changed its Poloices to allow the moderators of the forums to Prem game ban players at that time, no other company would be so stupid to throw away business but instead just forum ban players who misuse the forums) I informed Bruce Econmy , Modertor hachet man that he was forcing me to play competitive products, he did not care, SOE did not care, and my friends as we veiw the twilight of a game that was enjoyed by hundred of thousands its time to realize as far as Star Wars Galaxies is concenred you too should not care either.

Thanks for the response. I just point it out as it does speak very loudly to the turmoil within SOE/LA. Coupled with Events on Friday (the offical web board), I am surprised there isn't more of a story there.
They're probably denying it to retain the 3-4 subscribers that remain in SWG. The LA/SOE Marketing Department's justification for lying to the public is creative positive reinforcement. They do this ALLOT. I don't trust one word.
Heh... not supposed to trust them... they lost all credibility a long time ago...
I heard this rumour first time on my community forum (not the SOE ones... never go there) and I was all but dancing with excitement, at the prospect of BioWare taking over. Until, of course I came half way through the thread and saw that it was being denied.
Trouble is...
With a company, that has no credibility, what do you believe? A rumour, that by definition is just that, or a company, that has been lying to it's player base for more than 2 years...
*shrugs*
I stopped playing the game a long time ago, but I still RP there. I can't do without my dose of RP, though that's been thinning out too... Even RPers can't stomach being screwed over anymore than everybody else, it would seem... *sighs and smiles wryly*
Unfortunately, my account still goes towards their overall score :P
