Still, I don't believe the numbers. Everyone says they'll boycott SOE, but you mention anything about a rollback and they change their minds in a second. And I'm sure SOE knows this, because they're slowly headed backwards.

SOE does not make great games and I will not be "missing out" by avoiding ALL of their products.
The power of ones voice is more effective then a marketing blitz. It's all about word of mouth!
Avoid SOE products like a plague! There's plenty games out there that are fare more enjoyable with a development staff that actualy supports their customer base.

I don't like it when you say things. - A Vanguard fan who does too.

Exactly, was looking at Vangaurd as a withdrawl therapy program from SWG, then it looked more and more promising, and now$OE are in on the game... I have ZERO interest in the game, moved on to Chronicles of Spellborn

ANYTHING that has ANYTHING to do with Sh1tty Online Entertainment is AUTOMATICALLY tainted goods.
I don't care if all they did was design the game box.......TAINTED.
Oh while I'm at it...I'd like to shout a wholesome F_/Ck Y0_/ to SOE...its been a while.

You are absolutely CLUELESS. I played EQ before SOE took over for Verant and they did the same thing they are doing with SWG. Every few months they'd say ... people need to group so we're changing all the classes so that grouping is required. Six months later they'd say ... we're changing all the classes so you are able to solo. This is the way they continually operate. They nerf, change up and make what you have previously done and acquired USELESS so that you have to re-grind and call it content. I quit EQ just for that reason and now they've ruined SWG.

Things like this would not happen , If people would play the game and not whine all the time . When one group wants something and they get it , the other side whines until they get what they want . It is a never ending cycle for any MMO . Most developers do exactly what SOE does , Read any forum and you will see the same complaints day in and day out .
I played WOW for about 2 months , In that time I saw multiple nerfs , And also saw many screwed publishes . Every night the server would get really bad lag and it would last until the server was reset hours later .
Last week Eve was having a bunch of problems , Server side .
SOE are guilty of these things yes but so is every other MMO out there . DAoc has had many nerfs and changes , Wow has had many many nerfs , Eve has had many changes as well . These are only a minor example of how every company runs their MMO .
They will never be complete , That is by design . If something isn't working to their liking they will change it , If enough people whine for something , they will add it or take it away . No game offers you an experience without these things .

No-one ever said other MMO's were perfect, but if we are going to look at changes, nerfs, bugs, etc. on more of a continuum, then SWG (at the hand of $OE) represents the extreme end of such problems.....it makes most other MMO's look darn near prefect!
The NGE wasn't just a 'small' adjustment to the game, or a mere 'upgrade', it was an entire re-engineering of the game. This "NGE" was clandestinely developed while $OE denied its existence to suspicious players time after time. An entire $29.00 expansion was released to the entire public 1-2 days before the NGE was foisted upon a shocked playerbase in November. 200k cancellations tells the overall reaction of the players.
$OE pressed forward with promises of a completed NGE game with in 6 months. It is May, and the game is far from 'completed' - there has been two publishes and they seem to be more focused on putting back parts of the game that were unceremoniuosly ripped away in the first place. They now have a 'publish plan' they loosely follow that will carry the game well into 2007. The Smedz promised a 'bug free' game in 6 months back in March. Mean while, the sheeple fork over the money on the promises of better game play. It is their choice to do so, and I couldn't care less. If the name Star Wars was stripped away, the game would finally be removed off indefinite life support.
Obviously there are those that will not hold businesses to the higher standards that I and others do. $OE has a bad track record, plain and simple. Will my personal 'boycott' make a difference? Nope, never expected it would, but it sure makes me feel 'good'.

First off , My post wasn't about NGE it was about overall Nerfs . Which was in direct reply to the person I quoted .
I just got done reading a thread in the wow forum with multiple members who post here alot . Condeming someone for posting a bad review on WOW . So I wouldn't say they don't make SOE out to be the devel in any situation , But forbid anyone doing so in regards to Blizzard Or NC or Mythic .
They made some bad moves with SWG no one thinks otherwise . But some realize they were mistakes any company could make .

Instead of hating SoE...
Why don't you start loving another company...like let's say...
BioWare! *hug them tight and release them only once every 20 seconds to allow them to take a breath or two*
Hating SoE lead to the Dark Side! Join the BioWare fanclub instead! And guess what, it make Johny feels jealousy!!!
Would you rather have Johny be jealous or hearing your endless moaning? What do you think is better? Made him jealous....
Show SoE how much you looove and believe in TRUE devs like BioWare!
Because anyway, when BioWare new game hit the shelves, for a FIRST time, a RPG company will have made a MMORPG, it will change our lives! It will be just that good! 
Go BioWare go!
See, I believe blindly, give a total support and trust to a company that never made a MMO. Not only that, but I underline, that it is going to be the FIRST real mmoRPG, made by real RPG devs...trues devs!!! Tell me SoE is not jealous and I don't believe you, since I am not doing this to make them jealous...yet the fact I know they are going to be jealous, I take more time to underline WHY BioWare rules and is going to break this market, Blizzard show a real RPG company that it should take the MMORPG market into account...BioWare won't be as forgiving as WoW was, BioWare is not bringing news fans, it is taking them! Huge difference! Even old EQ will lose some hardcore undying fans! All praises to the mighty TRUE devs at BioWare!

Fear leads to anger.
Fear: anxious concern - concern for what they're doing to SWG early on in the game
Anger leads to hate.
Anger: a strong feeling of displeasure and usually of antagonism - every change destroys everything enjoyable
Hate leads to suffering.
Hate: extreme dislike or antipathy - disagreeing with every change made along the way
Suffering leads to the Dark Side.
Suffering: to submit to or be forced to endure - logging in and seeing the game you could have enjoyed, butchered
Dark Side
The Dark Side is where all your dreams come true and anything you've ever wanted is yours. Absolute power? Absolutely! The ability to move on from an inferior SOE product? Definately!

All the MMO News Worth Caring About
Asking this here is about as accurate as the 2006 MMORPG awards that were held here.
http://www.greycouncil.org/
I will cancel my pre-order for 2 reasons:
1. Vanguard is nothing special and does not offer anything new and amazing to the genre. It is the same old, same old. Also, in its current state, it wil not be worth buying at release in a few weeks.
2. Sony is involved with it. Say what you will, but SOE is behind the quick release date. I cannot imagine any developer planning on releasing this game in its current state just a few weeks from now unless they are getting pressure from above(and I don't mean God, lol). I have tried all SOE mmorpgs and at some point they get too involved and do some very questionable things. Gameplay suffers and then everything seems to start falling apart. And the customer service is horrible. SOE just doesnt seem to really care what the majority wants, they only do what they want. Is any publisher perfect? No, but taken as a whole... SOE really seems to have a knack for screwing things up in a big way at some point.
BTW, I am not a WoW lover. I stopped playing about 8 months ago because of boring endgame. I do love great games and Vanguard is not one at this point. Being associated with SOE or not, doesn't change that fact one bit.
