What will happen to MMORPGs SWG threads?



What will happen to MMORPGs SWG threads?

When the game is finally shutdown, what will become of these threads?

MMORPG currently has 'Released Games' and 'Games in Development' but they do
not have 'Retired Games' ...  Was, for example, Earth&Beyond ever discussed here?

[NOTE: all games are end-of-lifed while many feel the signs are there for SWG to occur sooner than later, I am
              just interested in what happens to these threads *when* SWG is EOLed regardless of when]

    Good question.  I would recommend they keep them.  More content = more visits = more click ads.

    We will probably keep returning to this forum daily to gripe for years after SWG is gone.    So there is value for their advertisers.

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

    I plan on continuing to gripe until a new SW MMORPG is announced.  Or until Official Pre-NGE servers are announced.

    If SWG goes offline but no one is there to play it, does it make a sound?

    I believe the forum gets deleted. Same thing happened to EnB when it got shut down, I wouldn't expect any different for this game dispite its turbulent history.

    If no one witnessed the creation of life, does that mean God created man in his image?  And what image is woman created in?

    Women are created in man's desire.  Back on topic, they will probably delete this section of their forum.

    No, it wouldn't. MMORPG.com doesn't support "grey area" or "illegal activites."

    We all move on to the Star Trek online area....

    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.

    Women are the NGE of creation, he realised men weren't exciting enough so he re-dsigned man but in the end he messed up and did a runner :p

    Be careful there bebe you got an awful lot of fiesty women who post here that wont see the humor in being compared to the nge. Including me

    Besides we all know that men are the lesser of the sexes. True story, I read it in the Davinci Code.

    SOE's SWG is like cancer. I doubt it will ever go away.

  • Wildcat84Wildcat84 Member Posts: 2,304
    It definitely now seems to be a matter of when, not if SWG shuts down.



  • kefkahkefkah Member UncommonPosts: 832

    I would even venture to go one step on that theory -

    What if the NGE servers are left plugged in but not supported for future development and a few precu servers are thrown in there to boot of course - not being supported for future development? Kind of an appetizer for the next gen Star Wars MMORPG.

    They get both audiences (what left and what returns) for some more milking. WHo would do this? My bets are on LA.

    Hehe, I hear you

         On a more serious note, though. I come here mostly to check out the SWG forum. If it and its threads were to be deleted I'd most likely reduce my visits here by 75%.

    Hey X

    You should go back and read the post again about the appologized. He still says that the NGE is good, he apologized for the timing and communication not for the NGE itself.

    Get a life you freaking Gamer.....no no, you don't understand, I'm a Gamer, I have many lives!!

    They should be bronzed and a small plaque placed on them saying
