Well, I just tested in on several old accounts, and YES YOU CAN JUST PAY MAINTENANCE!!
Forget what the whiners say (that includes the Devs lol), I just logged in for FREE two old accounts that had been inactive over a year, and was able to pay maintence fine!
Oh yeah, on the Elder Jedi account I WAS EVEN ABLE TO CREATE A THIRD TOON ON THE SERVER!!!!!!!!!! (which was another thing that I shouldn't have been able to do, becuase it was supposedly FIXED)
lmao
Typical shoddy programming from SOE assures us all the ability to maintain our disgruntled housing, regardless of what the fanbois say, or how many tears the whiners shed.
w00t!

P.S. If you think this is going too far/childish/etc. , then you obviously didn't have all your time destroyed in this game, or your $$ flushed down the toliet by SOE/LA, and frankly I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!!!

Just login with your old account name and PW
If it doesn't work, call SOE Online Customer Service, and tell them you heard there was a free trial for Vets, they'll activate it for you.
Thats fine log in and pay all of the maintenance you want put all of your credits in the house. It still will not stop your house from being packed up. From everything I have read you have to actually subscribe again. The free trial will not save your house if you have not been a paying subscriber for over a year.
I could be wrong but that was my understanding of it.
Until you cancel your subscription, you are only helping to continue the cycle of mediocrity.
What you need to do is go around look at how bad things look, look at the ghost towns, take shots... look at the cities that were once filled with people and commerce.
Take a look around and realize why you left and that you made the right choice. Watch the type of players that are there now, it's sad very sad but do it.
It is amazing to see the complexity that was filtered out and replaced with such sadness.
I for one love having it free yet again... this is like the 4th time of them sending me this crap this year... it's more sad each time.
So while they fix one thing and bring back stuff I told them to never take out -- they still don't get it.... they just don't.
They replace damn near the entire team (Which by the way I said they would by now) and pretty much have lied so much and screwed things up so bad that ANYTHING they do now looks good to the people playing the game.
The first "CLUNCK" you hear when you try to get on your bike should give you a hint.
I just have to wonder what the lemmings think when they see countless cities and what appears to be a place that once had alot of people in it.
Don't they question that? I just cannot for the life of me get the mind set of the NGErs... all logic and common sense aside -- If you look at the product on it's own and what it has done-- there is no way it is worth it now.
So far the biggest reponse I get from people for the reason they play is (I have friends still there, or the people etc..) NOBODY has ever ever said it is because of the "Great Game" it is --- lol not once.
Just get in there and look for yourself.
OH AND GO TO THE ODD SERVER NAMES AS WELL..... GO CHECK OUT WHAT A REAL GREAT SUCCESS THE NGE HAS BEEN TO THOSE SERVERS.
Its sad.

Thats fine let them. It will be interesting to see what happens. The only way they can keep it is if they give SOE/SWG $15. How far are they willing to go to stick it to them. Are they willing to pay the "MAN" in order to try to stick it to them.......

If they do then that's their business, don't you think?
Sure it's there business. I just think it's an interesting delima for the disgruntled vets. Pay SOE to keep there houses with the signs like NGE sucks and such or not pay and have there house go away.
Personally I think having their houses go away will say much more then a sign that says "NGE sucks".
Unfortunetly it's looking like it will be a staggered event rather then an immediate and shocking change to the server landscapes, giving the false impression that not that many people actually left. Ultimately though it will show just how many people have left, it'll just take a bit of time.
LOLZ how poor these NGE is
R.I.P NGE...sand to sand ...we had nothing good to say about you NGE from the day 1 you appear till you run down the toilet , but you will be soon at better place where you belong..garbage dump.
Ironically enough , NGE customer will be your gravedigger... nice /clap

Although I smile because maybe the end of this game will signal a retry with SWG 2 with better devs.
the sructure purge isnt effected by maintenance
your structures will stil be marked for pack up unless you resubb fully
NOOB!!!!
As has been mentioned a few times, simply using the trial you're given won't stop your houses from being packed up, it's to let you see if you want to resub. If you do resub, then your structures won't be purged and they'll lose their abandoned tag.
Note that it's a structure packup, not a purge. If you ever decide to resub after the packup, all your abandonded structures will be in your datapad. You can then go place them down in a new location and they'll all have their contents as they did before.
There is some hope SWGEMU will bring back true Starwars other then that $OE can do whatever ...and go to Hell...
If anyone wanna annoy them i suggest use trial and packup buildings yourself ...

Well aside from the fact that Lucas Arts was the one that did most of the screwing up, driven mostly apparently by Nancy MacItyre, who just recently was either quit or fired from LA and moved onto some kind of pre-school gaming company.
Nancy never admitted how much her screwups cost the game, the only clue is that she told the New York Times once that the game had lost "significantly more than 5%".
Yet even with it well documented, I see 100 times as much hate on the forums for SOE as I do for Lucas Arts - even though LA was the main force behind the mess. When LA made "hints" about pulling the SWG licence for "non conformance to the SWG experience", SOE had only two choices, quit SWG or screw up SWG. In hindsight they would have been better off telling LA to go screw themselves.
That BTW, is the reason that SOE has stated that they will NEVER develop another licensed game.
Nancy, BTW, is the same stupid lady (?) who said that there was "too much reading" in the game (I guess that is why she moved on to making pre-school games, no reading involved...). And if you doubt how much LA was invloved, just do a Google search for "Nancy MacIntyre" + SWG
"The statements made by Nancy MacIntyre, the game's senior director, at LucasArts to the New York Times illustrates the huge shift in thinking from Koster's original philosophy to this "retooled" franchise:
I found another one from when she worked for Atari:
"We are excited to bring this red-hot franchise to the hand held category allowing kids to immerse themselves in the world of Beyblade whenever and wherever they want," said Nancy MacIntyre, vice president of marketing for Atari. "Ultimate Blader Jam offers the best of the TV show and toy, with the added element of interactivity and mobility that legions of Beyblade fans crave, PLUS, NO TEXT TO READ!."
But here is the funny part, from a Feb 7 2007 press release. The funny part is that just 8 months before she had been promotoed at LA to Vice President of Global Marketing and Sales. It seems she did not last long in that position. The fact that the new job pays less leads me to think that she was fired, not quit.
Nancy MacIntyre Made EVP at LeapFrog
LeapFrog Enterprises Inc. (NYSE: LF) appointed Nancy MacIntyre Executive Vice President of Product, Innovation and Marketing. Nancy had been Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing at Lucas Arts. Read more about it in the pr newswire press release
