May be old news but I ran across a post that pointed to some interesting news. Many thanks to Obee...
"According to their Linkedln profiles, both Helios and Rogue_5 are no longer employed at SOE. Rogue_5 is at Virgil Games, and Helios is unemployed.

Good for them, Now they have nothing to do with SOE.. Maybe you should have nothing to do with SOE as well.
Unaware of the Jestor?

i agree. nobody should do anything with them. except throw rotten food at them.
I'm just happy someone spelled his name Rogue_5 (the correct way), rather than Rouge_5 (the mindblowingly incorrect way, which makes him look like a cosmetic).
So I started to walk into the water. I won't lie to you boys...I was terrified. But I pressed on, and as I made my way past the breakers, a strange calm came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things, but I tell you, Jerry, at that moment ... I was a marine biologist.
If he was a cosmetic, he'd be much more useful than he ever was as part of the SWG development team.

Actually, R5 was one of the better ones, not that you'd care.

who cares
i hope both of them go homeless for what they did to us.

No he wasn't. He was as big of a douche bag as Helios and Chris Cao.

He was still one of the asses for SOE.
"I have only two out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold." (First Lieutenant Clifton B. Cates, US Marine Corps, Soissons, 19 July 1918)

By that rationale, so was Saint Raph. Was he not employed by SOE as well?

Grant McDaniel was a douche bag. It had to do with the things he did, and said, not that he was employed by SOE. There are plenty of former SOE employees that aren't douche bags, but Grant McDaniel isn't one of them.

I believe he was the SOE rep that sat in on the Dev chats that marketted the revamps for ranger and squad leader as well as the creature handler content for Trials of ObiWan--at the same time SOE was developing the NGE which would delete all the above.
So, actually, if anyone gets singled out for the lies around the time of the NGE, in addition to Smed, I'd be looking at this guy.
I just checked it out, yup he was the Producer for SWG at the time--SOE management, sitting there feeding all the players a load of bullshit while they were developing the NGE that would wipe out the very things they were plugging. He should have been fired, along with anyone else who directed him to do this.

He's respected so much in part because he left SOE and publicly spoke out against the NGE move. People also appreciate the social depth of his game mechanics.
McDaniel was the Producer while the NGE was developed, and oversaw the misleading dev chats that promised stuff that the NGE would delete.
If you don't see a difference here, I really wouldn't know what to say to that.
Better keep track of those two... I dont want them working for any company that has a game im remotely intrested in.
Hauken Stormchaser
I want pre-CU back
Station.com : We got your game
Yeah?, Well i want it back!!!
...why are they using game names? i'd hit the guy that decided it would be cool to all use game names instead of their real names.
MMO wish list:
-Changeable worlds
-Solid non level based game
-Sharks with lasers attached to their heads
Just while we are on the topic of asshats within SOE Lucasarts or the guy at starbucks who made smed's coffee etc I hate Nancy Mcintyre
How the hell she has a job at all never mind where she actually is, is beyond me how can the moronic bitch say in one sentacne people dont want to read or have to walk around learning things then the next moment be working at one of the worlds largest and most innovative producers of learning toys for children.
I will never buy a Leapfrog product for my daughter, nieces or nephews as long as that cow has anything to do with them.
rouge_5 is perfect considering they put lipstick on a pig and marched it out to the playerbase.
The greatest redtag I remember was Q3po , Maybe I'm biased though ( He named our server the un-official pvp server) so ..yeah I'm biased

Q3PO was, if I recall correctly, Haden Blackman. He did a great job with SWG, though I think he was responsible for Holocron mania, but he's on my crap list for one reason alone: He's the producer for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and managed to use LA's patented LucasReasoning(TM) to justify not creating a PC version of the game.

Q3PO is Kevin O'Hara. Haden was Shug_Ninx I believe. Anyway, Q3PO went on to become The Agency's Senior Game Designer. He seemed like he was OK.

I knew I'd screw that up.

Eh, Not really if memory serves he was responsible for some bad decisions ,At some point. But then again I'm sure they all were even Raph (considering how many bad decisions were made).
It's their attitude that really matters in the end , As I remember Q3p0, he was always pretty respectful in his handling of players , Unlike a few other notable devs.

r5 icould care less about but i hope Helios is slowly eaten by a pack of wild dogs

Man.. Rogue_5..... I remember running around with him and about 20 other players during the Rage of the Wookiees Beta, testing out the Kashyyyk system boss instance on the asteroid. Infact I remember talking with him one on one. Kinda feels weird to hear he's not working with SOE anymore. Although, SOE doesn't deserve either of them.
