Anyone interested in a vet reunion?

SuvrocSuvroc Member Posts: 2,383

In someone's post a few weeks back I mentioned how fun it would be if us as vets had a reunion ingame by using trial accounts on the anniversary of the NGE. I suggested perhaps meeting at the Coronet starport, or the Coronet cantina. 

As some people have been suggesting that SWG may not last the year (I don't necessarily agree with this) I thought maybe it might be kinda fun to do this for the Xmas holidays. I'm actually kind of curious to see how far we can push a light server.

Is there any interest among the vets for this? Would people be willing to spread the word to old friends who do not read these forums?

Any thoughts?

    A tempting idea, but, no thanks.



    I remember it was the plan of a couple of guys to go and protest at an SWG games day, hyped and ready to go, posting on the forum how SOE was going to look stupid, then... It never happened.





    But hey if you get a few people just PM me in-game and if i am not busy I may come help boost your numbers.

    My intention isn't to protest.

    I just think it would be pretty cool to have some fun for one night. You know, just hang out and chill. Maybe form some buff lines for old times sake : )

    It's just an excuse to contact some old friends and get re-connected again.

    If you would like to reconnect with old friends i suggest a service such as MSN or AIM, meeting in a game, even if they're currently playing is complex and impractical.

    I think it would be cool but I as of yet have not gotten any vet trials from SOE and they have my new Email addy. Also it would be a pain in the arse to reinstall and DL all the updates!

    There is usually a trial released every few months, but if you don't have it and wish to try the game

    Oh no, I don't mean a "vet trial" specifically.

    I was refering more to the 14-day free trial, and creating a new toon.

    since, I'm sure,  SOE keeps watch of trial accounts and plugs those number into "total subscribers" I wouldnt do something like this. Not only the hours to reinstal that crappy client, but I wouldnt want to give SOE the ability to say "See...look at how much the numbers increased this month!"

    Sorry Suv.

    But seriously?

    Why dont we just make a trail and meet up?

    Then we all can stand like grumpy old men and whine how much better it was before : )

    Im in.

    SOE does not currently count Trial accounts as subscribers, so you're fine to go to a reunion.

    Quite frankly I couldn't care less if they use trial accounts to pad their subsciption numbers as the only people they're fooling is themselves.

    But if people aren't into this idea then that's cool with me. I just thought it might be kinda fun, plus it would be interesting to see how many of us it would take to affect the server population on the server selection screen.

    NP i guess, just need to be a realist with these kinds of things.

     No thank you Suvroc as tempting as your offer to log in would be, strange the game held me in its vise like grip for almost 2 years but no longer, at least until a game which cannot be named comes along.

     If you dont play EVE already, give it a go Suvroc, it is a cerebral experience-par excellence.

    Have to pass, tho if you organize protest march or lithium occupation i 'am in. To sad for me to see a once flourishing  world ruined. Better keep my memories not infected with the current NGE crap.

    Wish much fun those who are participating.

  • I'd be willing to HOST a vet reunion convention in Huntington, WV...  I can arrange for a hotel with space for well, most of us.

    Let me know.

    i prefer a protest. I'm in free trial now. Jesus i miss the old days. no game could ever fill the hole in my heart.

  • epf1epf1 Member Posts: 162

    Against my better judgement... ok I'm in. Don't think I will have much to do during christmas anyway and I'm actually curious to see whats left of SWG as well lol.
