    Man you're full of it, seriously. Is the only thing you like to do is start flame wars over things you know are false? Please, go play the game you love so much, and tell the other 249k of subs how great the game is doing, I'm sure they will be excited.

    Oh, and did you notice ALL of the footage was Pre-NGE? Didn't think so. Guess the NGE footage is just exciting to show.

    I'll start my own SWG... with Black Jack... and Hookers!!!

    In fact, forget the SWG!!!!

    Yea the expansion thats on the way is JtL, the video is pre-cu. 250k subscriptions....200k of them are people that pre-paid for a year right before the NGE hit.

    How can you tell? All it showed was people walking and there was no HUD. Really like to know how you can tell.

    Remember your first time on Tatooine? the first sound of a dewback that made you "woah".

    The trailer is waaay to missleading, and made me miss preCU even more.

    No flame at all just gonna have to completely disagree with that vid and I also think it was a long time before the NGE. If that vid was made post-NGE than thats some realy bad false advertising and man that made me miss pre-cu even more. There is no way in hell SWG currently has 250k subs and SOE will try to use the players who pay the bundle fee to juice there SWG numbers. Obraik SWG is also currently in the process of revamping combat again, so how are u gonna like when they change it again?

    I refuse to click on that link because my browser is rejected by that site. ;)

    Regardless, there's no way in hell they have 250k subscriptions. Not without a very liberal interpretation of their own subscription system.

    If you listen to the guy talking he says 28 years before when it all started.  That would have been last year.  It would be 29 years this year.  So, its not recent but definately 6+ months old.

    Old video.

    Hi,

    Alot of times when a reviewer is doing a review of games in this manner they usually make a deal as to what they can and can't show. So more than likely they got some old footage to plug in. The other more likely scenior is that they simply had old footage from another review and simply put it in with the rest of the video review.

    IMO,

    Old footage, and that long haired freak had he actually ever played JTL? Because as I remember it, it was just a glorified shuttle system that meant you didn't need to wait at starports.

    "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"

    Not really, all I did was post the link to the video, I didn't express my opinion about the video (although some people did jump t conclusions :P)

    Seems recent to me, considering they talk about Lego Star Wars II (which I believe was only announced this year, could be wrong), BFII, etc

    So the press is wrong now?  Earlier in the week anyone that tried to dispute that Reuters article was told the press is never wrong, etc etc

    your right obraik the press is never wrong! there were nuclear arms in Iraq ! we just didnt look in the right spots ........ and if there were 250k subscribers ....... where are they?? the most recent PoP count in one 24 hour day was only 10k people on a tuesday i believe ....... and so add about another 5-7k to that and you got your sub numbers ......... and once again another flame thread, i cant believe i was convinced to waste 3 minutes of my life writing in this Flame Bate Troll thread. This thread has no meaning, only to get people wriled up.

    Seeing the old AT-ST blow up so fast took me back. I miss the old days.

    Did you get all excited over this..... hoping SOE was going to prove everyone wrong and put some effort into SWG?

    Doesn't matter. Fanbois like you and I will always hope for the best, but most of us realized long ago that the game was destroyed and the only revival will be a total roll back.... or release of "expansions" that continue to return parts of the old system as if they were new. I think they are doing some of that now.

    "SWG was a world, now it's just a game" -adamrk-

    "When the game was good, you didn't have to ask where the population was, because it was everywhere. When the game was good you didn't have to ask which server had population, because they all did. When the game was good you didn't have to beg friends to give it a try, because they were already playing. " - Salty Pete
