The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.. or the one.
If they open classic servers, with transfers, it would be gold. Most of us stopped asking for an actual rollback ages ago.
Sure, in a perfect world I'd love to go back to Intrepid and have the world as it was. I don't care if the nge people get to keep their carrot-on-a-sticks. They're just toys. BFD.

It sounds great, so great in fact, I pitty those who canceled - Some deluded SWG fanboi who pities me. I don't like it when you say things. - A Vanguard fan who does too. 09f911029d74e35bd84156c5635688c0
Originally posted by kefkah At first release of NGE, I called for rollback. Same goes for the CU. Now as time has moved on and seeing how inept SOE is at handling their backups and conversions - I serioulsy doubt that a rollback would be possible without hiring a team of people who actually know what in the hell they are doing. I almost assumed that it was universally understood that many of us would settle for a few PreCu servers. However, that being said - I really feel I must add this with all of the bitter irony that drips from it. It is now that I turn the NGE fan's words back at them. Its SOE's game and the TOA state that there will be changes in gameplay. They knew from previous history that Sony had a history of gameplay changes that nullified time, effort and accomplishments. They wagged their fingers and smirked as they quipped, "Its only a game. Deal with it." They acknowledged that they "play the game because they enjoy it" which means they wouldn't hold it against SOE for repeating thier crimes against its playerbase just as long as they could play in the Star Wars Universe. Bitter medicine. Street goes both ways and SOE is a snake that bites without prejudice. They should change that SOE motto to "Play at your own risk".
lol very true. Wander how many of them would go staright to the forums screaming how wrong it would be. And not quitly moving on without so mutch as a wimper.

qfe
And I also agree that those still asking for rollbacks either mean open classic servers or havent thought about what a rollback would really mean for the game. It isnt some magic button that rewinds the servers to publish 12 and everyone's happy.

yes a classic server or two, that is all. I sure as hell dont want to condone mistreatment of customers by advocating it to the nge crowd. Would be kinda hypocritical.
Originally posted by maxanto Ok I am a SWG vet. I played from day 1 of public release for 2.5 years till the lovely NGE came out. I wanted a roll back in the beginning because I thought the new game was crap. But no longer... and please read all of this before flaming ok?
We as vets got screwed big time. All our acomplishments down the drain cause of what SOE did. Now imagine if you started playing the game when the NGE first came out. You have been playing for wot nearly a year? (7-8 months right) and suddenly SOE deciedes to listen to the old vets and guess what... all your work, and acomplishments are washed down the tube cause some players who have not played in a year are being catered to... instead of you their actual paying customer.
Let that sink in a bit. Realize for all of you who are begging for the destruction of the NGE is really the destruction of your fellow gamers. Keep that in mind. We all know SOE doesn't care either way. Something to think about.
To hell with the NGE and anyone that plays this rubbish
Anyone who wouldn't like the change is obviously a liar.

On the other side of that coin is the fact that any continued support of SOE and thier ineptitude makes all this get worse and worse. Those who continue to pay for the game, despite all the blatant SOE idiocy, are the true enablers for this mediocrity. So the rest of us are just supposed to stfu so they can enjoy their game?
I will tell you this. If we, as non-paying ex-customers can actually have a more noticable influence upon the game and upon SOE than the people who are still paying every month, there's a damn good reason for it: there are more of us than there are of them.

Hmm 8 months of a arcade game vs 2.5 years of a more risky/reward/loss/SIM base game
I think I know which one you throw out if you had to make a choice of the two.
However, I would feel sorry for them. They were warned though at least and THAT is alot more then what we had.
We warned them from the start of the NGE that loss can happen and there is a chance all will be for them.
(I mean if you think about it the loss is much much different) -- They made it easier so that alone makes it less complex to achieve.
