All it leaves me wanting is another game entirely. That video is crap. It's made with their computers and it's still a choppy, laggy, stuttering piece of junk. And this is a part of the game they wanted to showcase! What must the rest be like?
I know you feel that each and every negative comment on this game requires a personal response by you, but damn man look at the avalanche of negative responses from mainstream gamers, now that we are in a forum for everyone and not just the coolaid drinkers. Are we all trolls?

You may not be trolls, but your opinions are by no means the gospel nor the ultimate authority, which is the way they are presented. As I said before, I still wonder why, even after the elaborate post on the other thread, you and others are still attacking anything and everything that comes out. Being the veterans you are you have to know by now in it's current state of production along with it's current goal for launch, the sweeping changes you guys want aren't gonna happen. So why try to bring as much doom and gloom as you possibly can for others or take derogatory shots at them (Re: the cool-aid remark you seem very fond of)? It seems like every new bit of information requires a personal negative response from you, no? And this "avalanche", as you say, just isn't so when you remember that when people are generally happy with something, they don't speak up, they just ride along. So when the only voices heard are the complaining ones, sure, it may seem like an avalanche, but it's not. The silent, happy, majority made it's voice heard in SWG after the NGE.
Hmm, hope I put enough smilies in this one...
"Many nights, my friend... Many nights I've put a blade to your throat while you were sleeping. Glad I never killed you, Steve. You're alright..."
Trust me, SOE had nothing to do with this game other than to buy it's distribution rights. Microsoft who decided to drop it like a hot potatoe because they didn't see it doing anything more than AC1, AC2 or EQ in its subscribership.
MMO's want 2 - 4 million subscribers to be successful now a days. And WoW and Lineage(1 and 2) have shown it is possible. One major reason WoW was so successful is because the player isnt forced into a 80% group only game play and 20% solo. WoW did it right and let users choose their path to max level. You could solo as well as only casually play. Or do nothing but group and/or play 16 hour days. Or do a combination of both. Each day it was upto you to decide. And to boot, the casual player would be on double exp bonus most of the time. What I mean is they appealed to every game player in the market versus a subset of players.
But I could be wrong. Maybe it will give the appeal and feeling that EQ had. But somehow I believe the feeling EQ had was very much attributed to it being new (nothing like it).
I will never play this game no matter how good it is since I am boycotting all of SOE and Sony products because of the way they do business. Until they change their attitudes in customer service and acknowledge the customer is always right (reasonably) and not a widget, the company will continue to go thru a downfall.

I agree.
However Sigil is handling customer support, SOE collects the money and runs the servers, its very good at that. All GMs are Sigil employed.
Now playing: VG (after a long break from MMORPGS) Played for more than a month: Darkfall online, Vanguard SOH, Everquest, Horizons, WoW, SWG, Everquest II, Eve
The combat distance is the only thing worrying me at this time... but in the long run brad was what made everquest so good until he left... So I am trusting that he doesnt do anything stupid either this time round...
I will buy it and just not play it if its crap lol... end of story... Im not anyone's fanboy...
