    Pretty sure that doesn't mean "oh, and we're throwing in classic servers! but only the people who buy this will be able to play!". I think it's just the original (or "classic") game as well as the expansions. Don't be so eager to bend over for SOE again...

    Guys and Gals,

       Don't be fooled. This will NOT be preNGE. Just a sneaky way of advertising to squeeze a few more bucks out of this game.

    where did you find this little bit of info then?

    Rather not say.  The flames and bullshite make it unwise to do so.  I think it is either 100% BS or 100% spin.


    no worries then mate, thanks for finding it.

    If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Although I admit to a distinct heart-flutter moment when I read the announcement.

    I squealed a little bit when i saw the word "classic", but you are probably right, just sneaky wording.

    That's twice my hopes have been crushed this week You people need to stop it seriously! lol.

    BUT in SOE speak Classic means reverted code, release date code, look at EQ CLassic as a example.

    If this does NOT indicate PRECU then they would be VERY VERY wise not to release this on the 20th.

    Well Guys and gals,

    I will take a wait and see atitude. If it is a repackaging og the NGE, I will pass. If it is THE GAME, I may buy it. I will get excited if it is THE GAME and Only THE GAME that I and many others miss and would like to play again. Until this is comfirmed or denied I shall not don my party hat just yet. But by the gods, If it is THE GAME, I shall damned well play my Pistoleer/Creature Handler/ Medic once again! I have a strange feeling that suddenly millions of voices cried out, "Please let this be true!" And then the sound of millions of computer desk chairs that went into the recline mode and a dull," Hmmm, Let me watch this." Went up in unison.

    They downloaded the code off the emu site and compiled it, and are gonna sell it to us. Yay.

    Agreed, release this without the pre-CU will be another kick in the groin to the vetran players.

    BUT, the CU was the first kick to the groin, the NGE was the second, I do not know about you, but I only have two balls and I will be damned if I am going to let them kick that.

    There two possibilities: 1. shuckles was given bad info and none of this is true.

                                    2. There will be classic pre-cu servers coming in November.

    Most people have been focusing on the word classic but original is the key. The coke arguement has been used before and it once again applies. When coke did their rollback it was to classic coke, the version that was availble just before they came up with new coke. They did not go back to the original they went to a classic coke. This plainly states original classic game and there is only one original.

    side note: since the coke debacle I drink pepsi.

    I don't claim to be right, I'm just posting.

    It's probably due to the really strange day at work this morning, but there's a quote from the "Longest Day" where the British commandos are holding the bridge till reinforcements arrive..."Hold until relieved...hold until relieved..."

    Or just because I was flipping through channels last night, and it was on again for the 1000th time in six months, and that's the part I came in on. In any event, I thought it rather appropriate just now.

    My thoughts, exactly.  The word "original" is key here.

    Also remember that Coke Classic was different than original Coke.  Which suggests that SWG Classic is different than SWG Pre-CU - which it is...expansions, quests, etc.  Hopefully bug fixes...
