Yeah problem is that this is a complicated system they are putting in and it was made by SOE.
So we'll be lucky if people dont randomly lose levels when a house is demolished. I hold very little faith in the houses being safely packed up even if its intended to work that way :P
Any old vets should get back in game: http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/packup/ Sell the Obi Wan Painting they give you, and use it to pay off your houses for another year or two. DON'T WASTE THE FREE CHANCE TO STICK TO SOE!! Don't let them blow up your house, you got the next 6 weeks to make sure that your stuff doesn't go poof, and it remains to be a hinderance to all the scabs! SPREAD the word, and let any old vets know about the FREE 14 reactivation, and make sure the keep thier house firmly planted in the %$^ of SOE.
You're not "sticking it to SOE," you're just damaging the gameplay of those currently enjoying the game. Those of us who still play would rather not see empty ghost towns. I realize you don't care about other people and that you think that when you stopped playing the game should have ended, but there ARE other people in the world with opinions different from your own.
I'm gone from SWG and I won't be checking back in for nothing...not even 'revenge'.
I think some of you are going a little too far. Leave and get over it. Your not hurting SOE, only yourselves now. I think SOE is actually doing people a favor before they tear the houses down.
Heck, if they didn't notify you people of this first and just destroyed the houses, the very same people would be posting bloody hell about that instead of this.
I learned now that I couldn't enjoy any other game out there because of the anger SWG put upon me. Holding that inside and letting it corrupt other games was plain wrong ....and to be honest, stupid.
Now, I actually enjoy other games...WoW, EQ2 and LOTRO. Stop acting childish and move on.
lmao SWG was condemed when NGE hit. On the positive side the 5 players left will have more hills and tumbleweeds to look at instead of empty citys oh the excitement of it all. Guess what the next update is? New player housing and guild halls hahaha i told you theres your new content.

Basically, you're griefing.
Its funny though, to see how many left that agree and what is left of the population.
Kinda like the last few diehards are still hanging on in the game.. when in fact they know it should die though.
I mean crap -- 15k if that now play, SOE did not feel bad to shit on the 200k so what is the big deal?
Anymore the way I see it, the sooner everyone leaves the sooner we get a new SW MMO -- until then SOE and the NGE are just a big nasty pimple on the world of MMOs.

Well since the CU made alot of my items pretty much useless..Crates of buffs and armor, weapons all made pretty much crap(not all but most) then came the Nail the NGE when well all of it became crap.It turned into lame ass loot crap( dang i didnt know animals carried guns and armor Sahweet were do they hide all that cool loot) Anyways i have 5 houses and really could careless if its removed..My city officially died nov 11 2005 and along with all my guild friends and 100's of players..So let em remove it wont matter to me..It will really show how empty SWG really is lol...
The only thing I want to do is troll on their forums, I sure and hell do not want to log into the NGE So NGE'ers don't worry, I will not put up 10 Naboo small houses filled with crap.

Let the game die and take everything with it. Then maybe, just maybe we will get a new SW MMO and some classic servers. I know they won't do classic until the NGE dies, or maybe they won't. We will see. Just let it die.
Okay, so I was able to log into the game using my wifes account. Man, her character got fugly. Her twilek was beautiful before. Now, it looks like her character fell out of the ugly tree, hit every ugly branch on the way down, hit the ugly ground and rolled down into the ugly creek!
My wife was pretty upset about the character looks changes.
So, I go to Cnet. Two people. Tyrena,... empty. Theed. 3 people. Eisley of course was busy full of rp'ers. I got to see the holo dancers and entertainers. I figure one day they will have holo players running around and making PreCu posts on the forums.
Went around to the Guildhall, a few houses here and there dropping a few 100k on them. All those places still have 2 years worth of maintenance...lol.
Have they fixed the bug that doesn't allow anyone to build on a spot where a house was packed up, until the house is placed somewhere else? If vets want to screw the system, just log in and pack your house up. Current players won't be able to get 'rewards' for flagging the house, plus they won't be able to build on the spot where the structure used to be. It's win-win and you don't even have to give SOE any money for it, they provide you the opportunity for free.
The fact you want to "stick it" to SOE disturbs me. The fact this is how you are doing it is laughable. The only people you are "sticking it" to is the current player base who just wants to have a good time.
Just putting maintenance in a house does not undo the abandoned status., nor will packing it up and putting it down again.
If an abandoned home is destroyed and the deed returned, the house will no longer be in 'abandoned' status if it is put back down.
The structures of vet accounts that have participated in earlier free trial specials seem to be exempt from being tagged 'abandoned', even if not one credit has been pain in for maintenance for over a year.
I would not do anything to really 'stick it' to the current playerbase, but on the other hand, I would not accomodate them either. Their over all attitude does not warrant any 'courtesy' from me. To them I return their sentiments - I say, "Don't like it? Then leave."
you cannot just use a free trial to log back in and stop your hosues and factorys being marked you must reactivate a full subscription to do this so all you pissed off vets that are still crying like babies will have a choice to make sorry but nothign is free in thi world and if alot of you were to actuallt log back in and try it out for once you might like it i know for a god honest fact that most of the vets that quit before the NGE hit havent even resubbed since they are still spouting off the same pre cu retoric that frankly is getting a littel old now
If you would actually read what other vets have posted, you would see that majority of the vets have actually tried the NGE and hated it. Maybe they do spout the pre-cu rhetoric, because its freaking true! History... you learn from other's past actions. And, with SOE's history, it shows that they are extremely corrupt in how they present this game. Since you seem history illiterate, I will give you a brief history of the actions of SOE during the NGE implementation.
The expansion Trials of Obi-Wan was coming out, and promised a lot of content for CH, Ranger, and quite a few other professions. However, not even a day after the expansion went live, SOE announces the NGE, which would remove the profession-based system and replace it with a class & level-based system. Thus, majority of these professions that were receiving benefit from this expansion would not, as they would be deleted. It's a classic example of bait-and-switch advertising... and SOE knew this beforehand. It's criminal, and SOE knew this, therefore they did offer buybacks of the expansion for others. It's also the reason why, after this time frame, the vets voiced their opinions on the NGE, which resulted in SWG getting dismal player reviews on majority of gaming sites. They felt that they needed to protect other players from the highly-unethical actions that SOE committs.
However, considering you will believe that this is, "the same pre-cu retoric that frankly is getting a littel old now," you will probably ignore it. Thus, you will not learn from this history that we instill upon you. And the same cliche applies here... "Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat the same mistakes." Therefore, if SOE goes and does another revamp of this game, don't come crying to us about it, as you were warned.
