Hey people, I've got a problem on my hands, you see im 15 years old so obviously I need the consent of my mum and dad to play SWG as a credit card is needed.
That's where the problem lies you see, back in the day I was allowed to play, but now my mum says i can't have the game because she thinks it's a con taking £10 a month, even though I said I'd pay every month she still says no.
I notice that this is the veteran forum so maybe a few of you who are former members think she's right, that may be the case however i havn't played since March this year and I really do want to play again.
Please help me to convince my parents, give me some advice, you know like some key pros to having the game, it just might get me back on the SWG servers again.
Thanks for your help.

"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"

But yeah.. your mom is correct.
Having access to a billion $ IP - Billions of dollars..
Having access to a massive fan base of said IP - Even more Billons...
Singly handedly alienating them due to stupidity - Priceless.
Ive checked for these at BestBuy and Circuit city... Only Bestbuy had a 90 all station pass.. Nadda for circit city, and only 1 90day station pass was at bestbuy.. Its been there for a few months now. Also, for what it is worth, the pre roder boxes of SWG:C are still there, taking up shelf space, with none being sold... How is the situation down in New Zealand?

I don't know how things work there, but pre-order boxes don't move off the shelf, they're there as advertisments more then a symbol of how many boxes are available. I'm friends with one of the guys that runs the local EBgames so I'll be nagging him every few weeks for info on how well the game is doing here

You take a pre order box off the shelf and take it to the counter and buy the preorder... Its 10.00.. The pre order for DDO had the stuff inside the box to claim the "founders special rewards" or whatever they called it.

You don't really expect it to do "well" do you?
I sleep with a pillow under my gun.
Obraik will cheer you up though. He plays a special server that has 100,000 people alone all happy. (just teasing as usual Obraik)
Starwars Galaxies, An Empier Diveded, That's what it says on my box anyway.

This product based on it's success, track record, reports, press and general comments from people with common sense should be enough for you to realize this product is not worth any amount of money.
Some of us had it free and played it twice to see just how bad it really still is.
READ SOME OF THE PRESS on this product.
READ SOME OF THE comments, from the creator of it.
READ SOME OF THE COMMENTS from thier own producers and comments that have been made from the president of the company "Wishing he had not done this version of the game", to the creator "Saying this was a mistake to do to the player base"
When you see nothing but 90% bad reviews and comments you just have to use your logic and common sense... even though your 15 --
Your folks should at least look into this product as just that --- a product, then judge it based on it's success.
