I am asking for people who support the pre-cu SWG to speak with their wallets. Stop your purchases of SONY and $OE products. Tell your family and friends to stop making purchases of these brands. I relize it is just a game and their are better reasons to boycott. But boycott all injustices. I know this is difficult to most. Big corporations seem to only hear when it is about the bottom-line (money). Do something that is right and stop buying their products. Thank you.
...Now, I looked at the "boycotting SOE" polls and about 90% of the people said they would never pay for another SOE product. But, all it takes is a poll about pre-CU SWG and everyone changes their mind.
Christ, please don't sticky this. If anyone sees this, they'll know everyone's bending back over, ready for another go.
Let's be honest here.. SOE screwed up swg in soooo many ways bringing jedi into the game. A pre-nge game without jedi, and the time spent making them focused elsewhere in the game (ie.. fixing bugs and enhancing the gcw..). We'd be looking at a completely different situation now wouldn't we?
Boycotting SOE now there's an idea.. that'll go about as far as the next big game announcement they make.. and the haters turn to fanbois over night... funny that.
Nope. I’d probably be tempted, but my sober answer is NO. I think I’m done with SOE for a long while. By the time I’d be ready to patronize them again, if ever, I’m sure SWG will be long gone.

Yes I would. I would simply because there is no other game that can match the pre-cu SWG game platform for complete immersion. There was something there for all of us.

Pre-CU (Pre-patch 9) was the most extensively diverse and interactive system I have ever witnessed to date.
The CU came and destroyed that... well several patches destroyed it over time but the CUkilled it. I stayed only because I enjoyed the community and still could PvP as Jedi, BH, and the economy still worked as did a lot of my crafting.
Now the NGE is a slap in the face. We do not want to go backward, we want more, we want better, we want to walk forward in the realm of better gaming and the NGE is a walk backward into an interface and system that is more like DOOM from over 10 years ago... except DOOM was better.
If you want me, a loyal and honest fanboi of SWG and Star Wars to return, then you must do two things.
#1 you must treat the game as a child you love. Make it better as a game and system, not better as an easy platform to manage and market. Yes many want to provide easy low-maintenence games and then expect large unreasonable returns, but if you want loyalty and increasing numbers you have to meet the expectations of an increasingly intelligent customer base. Retarding your game system only makes it seem as if you see us as simple minded enough not to notice or not to care.
#2 Stop creating major revamps just to try to access new markets. We as loyal customers deserve your respect, and we dont get respect when you completely change our gaming community and environment without giving us the option of a few server system that go untouched. Yes, this means we do want Pre-CU Pre-Patch 9 servers.
I know your market people and market psycholgy experts have probably fed your ego and greed pointing us out as an easy mark, but we are fed up. We recognize that you are punking us, we understand that your company does not care about the customer until the customer is walking out of the door.
(This is part of a message I originaly sent to Satao's personal e-mail addy for Smedley, so it got read and was still overlooked. They simply dont care.)

"When the game was good, you didn't have to ask where the population was, because it was everywhere. When the game was good you didn't have to ask which server had population, because they all did. When the game was good you didn't have to beg friends to give it a try, because they were already playing. " - Salty Pete
I would only play another SW-based MMO if SOE had nothing to do with it. I've only ever played one SOE game and it was SWG. I tried to stick with the game through many revisions, but now that I've played other MMO's, I realize SOE just fails at making games complete. SWG was my first MMO and it was a real let down for me. Since then I've played several MMO's and see how polished and enjoyable they can be in the hands of a better company.
The only reason I got into MMO's in the first place was because of Star Wars Galaxies by SOE. Had it not been for the "Star Wars" in the title, I would still be playing FPS, RTS, and console games.
I will never purchase any product from a company that employs Smedley, hands down.
I will be very, very, very resistant to purchasing any product from SOE (should they remove Smedley) because of the horrendous manner in which they have treated their former SWG customer base. SOE would have much PR work to do.
By the time any of this might happen, another company will have released another SW MMO, and I'll be there.

Thanks Jon Wood for asking about the pre-cu servers at E3. I couldn't comment on your article the link must be broken. They say NO! I say Pre-CU servers are coming. I can feel it. Keep hope alive.
rather than say GET RID OF THIS GET RID OF THAT, i would say this, classic SWG server, change timeline, leave everything basically. you would have to tweak some things like say darth vader, and such. I personally loved having jedis.
I never NEVER had jedi and, until they made it so easy i never raelly wanted one.
I personally loved hunting jedi, and just being a hardcore pvp imp. I didnt need jedi, cuz i was better than that, no jedi could stand up to me NONE!
I loved that game with all my heart and would go back any second if they made classic servers
