Would you sign up for an SWG "under new management?"

If LA, or some other company decides to buy and re open SWG, with a desire to do things differently, and in tune with quality, would you want to play in the game again?

Can't vote... two choices work for me.
I'd go back as long as $OE is not involved. I don't care how much LA is involved.

I don't like it when you say things. - A Vanguard fan who does too.

Without the NGE and CU I dont care who runs the game.
definately
See you in the dream..
The Fires from heaven, now as cold as ice. A rapid ascension tolls a heavy price.
I'd come back if the game were rolled back to pre-CU and Sony was out of the picture. They have zero clue what their player base really wants imo.
not as long as LA had any input or control over the direction and development of the game.
If they just sold the license to a company other than soe on a 5 - 10 year term and then took a back seat, other than to help in the approval of new storylines maybe I would consider it. If they had any say over patches, development, or any element of the actual game play, then no way, I won't touch it.
Maybe

alright... LA could bring this game back to life nad im willing to give them a chance since they created star wars.... SOE on the other hand.. No. We cant have them anymore, they screwed the game up... Royally..

I'd come back if the following happened....
1.) Get rid of SOE and replace them with someone who doesnt use a PR team to communicate and lie to us on a daily basis
2.) Roll back game to Pre-CU.
3.) Spend 6 months in development fixing bugs.
4.) Reduce doc buffs power (not duration) by 50%.
5.) Cap armor at 60% sliced. Take out layers so we dont get composite clone armies running around. Before layers worked, players actually used several sets of armor. Ubese (kinetic) was great for hunting and light on HAM.
6.) Allow Mind bar to be healed or not take damage.
7.) Go back to work on content that we all loved but was never finished. The Story Arcs at launch were fantastic. Finish the Planetary Loot revamp like we were promised. Finish theme parks like Gungan Sacred Place (busted since launch).
8.) Keep game the open sandbox style. Yes, go ahead and toss in a few quests for content. However, leave others alone. I loved the fact that I could stumble across a series of quests (Like the singing mountain clan ones). Most never knew about them because they hadnt explored much.
9.) Take out POI in datapad. Never ever understood why they were added. Players actually used to explore the worlds.
10.) Either change the timeline or dont allow Mustafar / Kashyyyk expansions that refer too much to recent movies. We want Bespin, Hoth, etc from the original series.
Do at least some of the above and I'd be back for however long the servers run.

Options I wanted where there but here is my answer. If SOE wasn't anywhere near it, the NGE was removed and if it wasn't all about the Jedi I'd try it again under new management. But only under those limits. If it once again became another Jedi Holo grind then I wouldn't look twice at it.
I agree with you on pretty much everything here, especially about the planets, I never really liked, or gave a shit about Kashyyk or Mustafar, I always wondered why we didnt have Hoth, or maybe Coruscant.

Wrong answer for that problem.
If they went with that approach, being an armorsmith would be so easy as to be boring.
Easier route would be make all armor types have the same amount of layer slots, and equalize their stats so that mabari would not be naturally crappy, rather the resources and the amount of experimentation were the only determining factors in the quality of the final product.
I like your other stuff though.

I am done with this game, and it's really too bad. The game had it's problems before the combat upgrade but it had a ton of good things with it. You had to rely on other members of the community, it's the only MMO that has pulled it off the way they did. You needed crafters or you wouldn't get wepons, you need docs or you'd die, you needed entertainers, to heal your mind. You needed fighters to get you the good components for crafting, and to get hides. Sure there were some tweaks that needed to be made to the system, but I don't think it needed to be completely changed... TWICE! Now they've gone and made an SWG version of WoW, except they screwed that up. So now what can they do... nothing. They need to scrap it. It was a failed experiment. Maybe next time they will pick their "focus group" from people that actually played the game longer than a week. Maybe also they'll listen to the people that played from day one, and stood by them because things were getting better, and then we got the shaft... So I am done with this game. Not also am I done with this game, I am done with Sony, I sold my Sony TV, VCR, and cell phone because their company doesn't give a flying rat's butt about us. I am also very close to being done with LA over this crap too, which hurts because I am a star wars geek. But it's aparent that noone there actually cares about the SW universe or how it's viewed. Well that is if the prequels, and SWG are any indication...
So I am DONE! Scrap it, try again!
The day SOE losses the rights to SWG and another company takes over I will shelf WOW and come back, provided of course they also get rid of the NGE and treat us with respect. But as long as Sony is in charge I'm not geting anywhere near SWG.
