HeHe, the only proof I am at liberty to divulge is call his office.  New secretary who is unable to confirm or deny anything.

My source would literally KILL me in RL if I gave it up.  BUT,  I am not crazy.

SMED.

KOSTER.

and the Star Wras:  Complete BOX SET is going to be WAY MORE than a bunch of expansions...

Do not really care if you buy it or not, I am just so fricking happy to not depend on some EMU project for my SW MMO fix...

If you choose not to believe, fine, probably smart with the info your given...you will get a nice surprise.
If you choose to believe, patience, we will have our game back soon...

Okay this is what you posted earlier. In one of your post there was a link to a press release, but you also say that you have a source. Please provide a little more info about your source and which information they provided.

I don't claim to be right, I'm just posting.

    That is just a poor joke.
    Instead look for a EMU server near you.

    This was posted ealier by rkabyrne. I just wanted to know if his source  was a SOE or LEC employee. His thread was locked so I had to start this one. Don't get you hopes up but if you still want my address....

    I think it will be a while before we see rkabyrne again.  It seems he has gone underground.

    Its very interesting that the OP of both the "Smed is Fired/Replaced" threads has disapeared back into the trenches without a trace.

    Damn him for his hoaxing naughtiness.

    Ps: I really hope someday soon he will return and lay a big. smug "I told you so" on me :)

    Perhaps he is on a "Posting Vacation"...like the kind I got from SWGMOD0001?

    I realize I said I quit. I never said it was forever :)

    Well, you have to admit he livened things up for a little while.  And perhaps knocked Sony's stock down a few points to boot.

    Lol the rumor was enough to get an official repsonse from SOE...

    Having access to a billion $ IP - Billions of dollars..
    Having access to a massive fan base of said IP - Even more Billons...
    Singly handedly alienating them due to stupidity - Priceless.

    With the Shayde-inator working the communications to verify, that doesn't surprise me :)

    k rkabyrne, you got some 'splaining to do or we feed you to the Saarlac.

    This makes me think that maybe there is something to this.  If it had no grain of truth to it, they would have not dignified it with a response.  Not saying it's completely true, but maybe there was a position shift or something along those lines.  Or better yet, maybe he gave his  2 weeks notice.

    im gonna guess it has something to do with company stability and stocks... If the rumors persisted and arent true their stock could be affected, along with other companies who have deals with SOE..

    If thats the case - they may have to make another staement tomorrow.  It sounds as though it may have picked up some steam.  It's what happens your playerbase does not believe a single word you say.

    QFE

    Replacing one of their top level guys will definately impact their stock price since they'd be admitting that the person who the board of directors chose to keep increasing profits (Smedly) hasn't been doing so and needed to be replaced.  CEO's typically only stay the head of a company for 7yrs or so, a few stay longer.  They are constantly switching jobs either because they found a better one, are getting replaced, or decided to go into some other venture. 

    Either way, such a move has to be denied if rumors uncover it until they find a suitable replacement.  You can't go around and admit, "Yeah he's gone," because the next question would be, "So who's replacing him."  IF you can't answer that, then expect your investors and any pending deals to go on a dumping spree.  Maybe its Koster and he has to transition into the role or maybe they're looking for someone else.  For now, Smedly losing his job might have some truth to it.  $OE has lied in the past.  At least it gives me something to read in the mornings.

    I know they were there a couple of days back as I'd been picking through them looking for comments he'd made.  The airbrush of history, eh....

    Hmm...things are starting to look strange. What possible reason could you have to delete the Smed Tracker?

    History has shown us that SOE will deny and lie about the truth up until the day it comes true. Remember the starter kit being posted on Amazon?

    Getting rid of the Smed will just be part of a large healing process. Fixing a reputation is difficult to say the least. But the head cheese in an organization sets the tone....and a good leader will eventually bring SOE back around. I just hope they have gotten with an elite executive headhunter to find his replacement....promoting from within in this case (an unhealthy company) is a mistake. When a cancer sets within an organization, you need new blood.

    Sony HQ can't help but look at Blizzard and notice a properly released and managed MMO means sick money. Its not like SOE is nipping at the heals of the industry leader..it is getting trampled.

    Chris has STILL not responded to my folow up questions. Especially the semantical one about "not fired.. but leaving the company"

    But he DID ask me further credential information. Background, media agency ETC.

    Interesting. Especially with all the Smed deletions on the suckboards.

    Dig a little deeper on the Smed Tracker guys! Pages 6 and 7 have Smeds post.

    Hmmm, maybe Smed has been on vacation since 3-24-2006 ala TH and Rogue_5? j/k

    I wonder why there is nothing more recent than that.........

    Holy Crap!  They DID delete almost every post that Smed ever made.  This is only done when they are going to do something they said they wouldn't do before...  Wonder what that could be???


    Tin-foil hats on me!



    SOE knows what you like... You don't!
    And don't forget... I am forcing you to read this!

    He post on other forums rather than SWG. My question would be what's up with the first five pages?
