This is intented as a "power to the people" poll, please vote and give your opinion. Hopefully SoE will read the results.
Theyre existing games are ruined beyond reprise. We would need a public apology from the CEO of SOEs mother company for hiring smedly in the first place. Followed by the release of a game that was so amazing that all was forgiven and with 2 months free play on that game for each SOE game that each customer has.

smed is an arsehole and people like him should not be allowed to run/manage any company at all. What happend at SOE is what is a prim example of greed, and power gone mad.
did you know that EQ1 is still their best selling game? It still has like 200,000 subs. I know a friend who works there. Eq1 supports all their other gaming stuff.
what did John Smedly do? people always hate on people with money and power
Is everyone mad at him just because of Star Wars Galaxies?
Because I play Everquest and Everquest II and I love both of those games. I can understand the SWG people being mad, but if that's the only reason then maybe he deserves to be cut a little slack. Everyone screws up occasionally.
I don't know much about the whole situation, so if there is more don't beat me up. Just explain it to me.
?? There are over 200,000 SWG subscribers that begged for a roll-back and it didnt happen - *then* he released the nge causing hundreds of hours of effort to be thrown away for most people.
Planetside: The game has had one expansion which released robots that have permanently debalanced the game. It has no expansion since and no attempt to fix the hacks that plague the game.
These would be the 2 best games on the internet if he had 1/2 a brain, unfortunately he doesnt so they dwindle to nothing whilst their ex-subscribers roam the internet spreading the word of his deeds :P

It's not as if he single handed coded all the changes to the games =P
But you should have put in a option for "I don't give a damn, I'll subscribe either way."
SWG was garbage from the getgo despite how much the fans loved it.(hate it, love it, whatever, it was a poor game.)
Planetside... i'll agree with that
EQ1...never truely played it.
EQ2, played it right when the trial of the isle was first put out, bought the game, quit from boredom... Much later on i did the trial again, and i LOVED the game, it was VASTLY improved, played for awhile and quit because it was time for me to go back to cov =P
MxO, bought it when it was brand new, played for FOUR DAYS, before i canceled, it was a crap game. And just recently(after it was picked up by soe) i tried it again and It was extremely fun and addictive... too bad they never added any mission variety in the time since i bought it, otherwise i woulda taken it into p2p... got to level 14 and i got tired of seeing the same mission design 100 times...

Reavo, if only he had screwed up occasionally....
and he's a lying bully as well.
my poor, poor mangled and mutilated SWG....
anyways, to the OP: this post is in the wrong place buddy. This is MMORPG Off-Topic, AND there's and entire forum section dedicated to SWG which is what this really is about in the end, but I forgive u

Although what they did to SWG was horrible, and someone should be kicked square in the nuts.
Now with 57.3% more flames!
