Why was Xerith's post deleted? It didn't break any forum rules.
His name was actually Bob Loblaw but nice arrested development refference!
Lol, I get that all the time, and yes, I'm aware of it. Long story short, I actually met a Robert Loblaw long before AD, and had a good laugh upon the realization. Thought it would make an excellent online handle (Bob_Loblaw used to be my handle in the old days). Then came along Arrested Development and the name was always taken when ever I went to register any forum/game etc, so I revamped it.
So GCW hey? Why was Xerith's post deleted Mr Mod?
If SWG just gets rid of the subscription fee, or makes it like $5, I'll give it one final chance.

If they went to a f2p MMO, I would go back...that's the only way.
They already have a cash shop...that stupid trading card game it has.
free to play would breath some life back into that game. I got into online gaming late, the game was old by the time i began to get into MMOs. I can't justify paying for that when there are so many other alternatives out there that more than surpass it graphically. The community is too small for the game world it seems. It is ancient ruin of a game. They need to make it F2P. I would check it out then, so would alot of other people.
This is a total complete waste of resources, SWG is dead and with newer games coming out , SWG will be closing this year. SWTOR, STO, etc are hitting the market. The only way SWG would survive is if they lower the subscription and condense the servers down to 6. Plus add 2 pre-cu servers and they will make some money.
No matter what SOE does the game is dead.
Sorry to ask, but, why does this game warrant it's own Front Page post about something new being added to the Test server? More importantly, why does SWG warrant attention at all?
Why would SOE want any attention towards this game considering the negativity that ALWAYS ensues with ANY mention of SWG on any forum?
Seems counter productive to me.
OH WOW. So, basically, the UO Faction system is coming to SWG? Ability to take over cities.... Interesting..... I double the comments about making it free to play. get some people in there!!!!

SOE keeps following the road of pumping out more new stuff, without bothering to fix all of the broken/outdated stuff that is already there.
This has worked so well for them up to now.... /not
SWG had its time, but is now long past.
Yeah, I went back a couple weeks ago to fly my space ship with some buddies. We've had a good time with it.
I'm so horribly sorry about what Sony did... But I've moved on. The old game is gone (Except for the Emulator thats mostly done now).
I look forward to seeing what the GCW Update does. I hope to god it does sometthing for Pilots....
Its the closest thing I'll ever ever get to an X-Wing VS. TIE Fighter MMORPG. even SWTOR will never do that for me.
Unleash the power of Pre-CU.
Then you talk
Star trek on line launches in less than a month. This will be a nother nail in the coffin for SWG as I predict the sci fi MMORPG players will be flocking.
RIP SWG.
They're really 2 totally different games. Any SWG player that goes to STO thinking he's going to get the same style is really going to be disappointed.
Plus I think the whole SW vs ST factor is going to kick in as there are those that would never have anything to do with the one because they're fans of the other.
SWG (pre-cu) - AoC (pre-f2p) - PotBS (pre-boarder) - DDO - LotRO (pre-f2p) - STO (pre-f2p) - GnH (beta tester) - SWTOR - Neverwinter
Do not underestimate the POWER of the Pre-CU.
Say hello, To the things you've left behind. They are more a part of your life now that you can't touch them.
But it's... not... quite...dead. Maybe one more bullet... (bang!)
Nope. Maybe one more (bang!)
Nope, now it's a zombie!
Maybe one more (bang!)
It still moves (although it's only crawling with one arm not unlike Anakin at the lava river bank).
I have SWG as part of my Station Pass. How long does it take to get into a spaceship?
- RPG Quiz - can you get all 25 right?
- FPS Quiz - how well do you know your shooters?

5 minutes? Or so...
But I've mastered the civilian pilot branch and I have one of Han Solo's freighters. It lets my friends man the turrets and I do the flying. So we go around ripping shizzle apart. Its fun, for what it is.
I'm just praying for some GCW content in Space...
