    Well i have never played SWG and i dont know what SOE done to that game but I play EQ2 almost from begining, I have seen lot of changes in game i have not actualy liked all of them but i must say that whatever SOE do to EQ2 that game goes better and better with every LU. And i havent seen that good web support for any other game, on eq2players you can find what exactly is your character wearing, your stats, resists and so on .. you can also use guild chat from web. Also i have never seen in any other game that you can send /tell (also put on friendlist/ignore list) to player on another server or even in another SOE game (just little defending SOE here)

    I'm confused.  These items mean exactly what when we discuss intentionally alienating hundreds of thousands of paying customers to satisfy the ego of Smeds golden boy Lead?  If a tenth of the effort that went into rewriting SWG every two weeks went into expanding what was good and worked about the game it would have given WoW a run.  But, changing the game into another clone of EQ just worked so well and proved SOE's expertise at understanding the most basic inclusionary functions of human society by morally debasing their entire user community.

    Just goes to show you that MMORPG.com is as out of step with what the community see's as bad as what they think is good....

     

     

     

    Just kidding! The article is pretty funny, though I agree that Turbine's offerings should have done worse...

    MMOWTF?  WTF? 

    No beef with the author of the article, but there is something noticably off with the results.  Of the six times SWG/SOE was mentioned, none were in fact the author's pick.  I'm assuming this is because either the author played SWG to find out for himself where it ranked, or did some research asking the folks that currently play.  The vote itself was likely the result of a concerted effort by the resident dissidents in the SWG Veteran's Refuge here at MMORPG.com, individuals that no longer play the game since the NGE occured 2 years ago.

    I would ask that some disclaimer or notice to the effect that this was obviously a concerted effort by those individuals be posted in conjunction with the article.  It isn't very difficult to sway the outcome of public opinion polls, especially ones taken with a simple CGI script.  They are often misleading and only indicative of the motivated biased.  This can be very easily demonstrated for the unbelieving.  For every one person who voted SWG as the worst in each category, you can find a crowd of happily gaming subscribers enjoying the latest improvements and features SWG has added in the time since the NGE.  Those that have returned and given SWG another chance have found that it is in fact doing well, and that much has changed.

    Every time I post here at MMORPG.com, I like to reach a hand out to those cynical dissidents, still filled with rage and still feeling betrayed from the events of two years past and invite them to come back and give it a second chance.  In fact, if you try logging into your old inactive accounts, you'll find that you've got 21 days free automatically, just to check it out again. (It'll go automatically inactive again at the end of the 21 days, so no worries about fiddling with billing).  Give it a shot and come on home.  You might be surprised.

    Pure speculation.

    I see many people on the official forums that are not happy with the direction SWG has gone. Many people are "putting up" with it but obviously wanting more of what the game was.

    Ask your player base. Put a poll up and simply ask them.

    And, sometime a cigar is just a cigar. Maybe, just maybe, the results of this poll were "earned" by SWG, and not a collusion of ex-players.
