    This is true because my mates pet cats owners pet gerbills owners milkman knows the window cleaner that works on the SOE  building and said he heard the devs talking in l337 about this

    They just hate it that those with more guts and sense than them post here, and that we have a place.

    And that their allies can't touch us here.

    ok believe it or not, i believe that email to be 100% true.  everything makes sense in my mind.  i helped out and knew most of the devs that are making SWGEMU.  although i wasn't in their inner circle or anything like that, i knew what was going on.  however, right after their meeting with LA, the whole team became very quiet and the only thing i was told from one of the devs i knew was that they weren't allowed to say until LA makes in public.  that's all i was told.  in my mind it makes sense.

    Why are you talking in past tense?

    Even if this were true, forcing us to buy a new box AND pay the full sony station pass is absolutely ridiculous. On those facts alone I would not subscribe.

    I love rumors, they always seem to lift the spirits.

    IF this is true, SOE can suck my dick if they think I'm going to pay for station pass, $25/month, to play this one game. My account's been canceled for a couple weeks now and it's the first time I just don't care about SWG anymore. I would pay my $15/month to play pre-CU, but fuck them if they think I'm going to pay $25/month. I don't play any of their other games, I've been playing WoW as much as I used to play SWG and I'm having fun. SOE drove me to WoW lol. Why would I pay to play an inferior knock-off when I can play the real thing for the same money.

    I think sometimes that this whole thing is a pshychological study in how much abuse people are willing to take for something they love. This to me would be the final step in the study, charging almost double after 1.5 years of crap. I just hope the rest of the pre-CU fans feel the same and DON'T resub until they charge $!5/month.

    Of couse this is just another bullshit rumor so it doesn't matter.

    The gutless French secretly admire countries and people with balls (ie: Americans who twice saved them from speaking German in the last century).  But publically they trash America at any opportinity and try to prove their nonexistant virility by opposing America whenever they can.

    Same with the Senate.  They surrendered to the NGE, secretly admire those who didn't, but publically despise us to keep their fake status in the SWG scene.

    When all's said and done, we will save SWG for them, and they will quietly come back to pre-CU.  All the while trashing us of course.  Frogs are frogs.

    Although, one thing is interesting. Why did the senator or ex-senator jump all over this thread?

    Hubris.

    This is by far the most widely read and posted in SWG forum outside SOE's and the most important.  They don't like being dissed, especially when they can't call in the mods to help them.

    I fell into a trap set by one a week ago and got IP permabanned from the forums for it though I didn't violate ANY stated policy.

    They are losers who live in their mothers basements. Their goal in life is to live in George Lucas's basement.

    Shayde.   All emails have the ip address of the sender encoded in them.   get that Ip address then do a tracert or whatever on it.   That should give you the general region of the sender.

    If it is not in the auston area or wherever in California that LA is based, then its probably a lie.

    It's too obvious.  It's just a collection of rumors put together into a picture that we wish was true.  It's not based on any new information, it's just what we all want.  Except for the duck part.  That was too much of a reach.  Even crappy companies wouldn't hire those guys to run a hot dog stand. 
    Why would a company that has lost so much face and respect hire a group of guys that would just continue to drive the very bad image of SOE further into the ground.  Especially when opening classic servers would be a move to try to regain a respectable image.  They may be decent at programming, but they have a LOT of growing up to do before anyone would put them in charge of anything.

    It was one of those Hotmail accounts. Suprised it made it through my spam filter.

    And really.. I don't care THAT much to pull a Sherlock Holmes here. I don't believe the rumor anyway, just sharing what someone e-mailed me. Hell.. I have 2 friends who work in Internet fraud protection, I could probably find out who it is if I wanted. But if it IS a real leak, I don't want to scare away my sources.

    Good point. Live in a fantasy because the reality blows chunks. If I'd have known that, my Freshman year would have been a breeze.

    I like how, when Shayde posts, he always seems to have these dislaimers in there. That way, if this rumor turns out to be true, Shayde will be the one who brought us the good news.

    But as we all know, we heard very similar things fly right before the NGE broke...I still get a kick out of remembering how that dude just got castrated on the forums when he posted what his friend's sister's uncle's roommate told him about the upcoming changes.

    I think that the fact that the NGE went down that way is why I, and probably most of you (Maxanto excepted here) still find a glimmer of hope in these rumors, as ridiculous as they may seem.

    Anyways....move along, move along....

  • herculeshercules Member UncommonPosts: 4,925

    fair to say total bull.

    1)if SoE are adding classic servers they will add it to anyone who has SWG account not just all access.

    2)why would they work with ppl making EMU.They rather toss them into court.Not like Sony lacks the money or manpower to do it themselves if they want.
