Decent take on it, especially where SOE tries to dumb down expectations (to the level of their submediocre ability to produce) which I definitely think is true. However he still gets it wrong about the NGE. Yes, the "HOW" in how the NGE was done,…

Getting a refund from SOE is not going to happen. What I think they will do is leave TCG up, so that technically you still "have" your cards but the MMO will be gone. This is going to be something that will have to be defined and hashed out in th…

Well, the one thing he has going for him is that he works for SOE. At SOE, you can do things, make mistakes, run the whole thing into the ground more than once, scream insults at your clients, etc and not get fired. It's like government work. Ju…

SWG... It's really not THAT bad... lol. Sadly, compared to most MMO's, it isn't. Except that the Devs keep making it worse with every patch and TCG expansion. PVP, for example, went from galaxy wide for GCW to confined to a few static locatio…

I just simply cannot imagine any conceivable scenario, no matter what SOE/LEC did to woo me, that would get me to subscribe to SWG again. Not even Pre-CU servers could do it, because while I still love that game, they can't give me Pre-CU with cont…

Smed is simply the incompetent manager who somehow can't get fired. Even after taking his company from #1 to #not even worth mentioning during the greatest BOOM time in the MMO market. He leads a charmed life.

Originally posted by eyeswideopen Or perhaps they're not concerned about public image so much because there's not much time left for this game? A highly plausible scenario considering the recent shutdown of MxO. Devs have been minimalized, same a…

Originally posted by PreCU Originally posted by Daffid011 These guys are getting this mentality from somewhere and if this is how they act on their first few days, then they are picking that message up from somewhere close to home. …

Originally posted by orlac Although it hasn't been stated, I suspect SOE will be losing it's Lucas license. Bioware would not spend the money it has without some kind of provision in that regard. 9-10,000 subscribers playing SWG is hardly …

Originally posted by Murashu I would have loved to play on Pre-CU servers again, but that was 4 years ago. SOE has burned so many bridges since then they can never expect to win back their old player-base. That means they would have to target pla…

Originally posted by stillkillin at this point $OE needs to do 1 of 2 things with swg roll the game back to the pre-cu with fresh servers shut swg down mark my words if $OE gives us our pre-cu swg back no one will even look at the boring class ba…

Originally posted by donaldduck Its more likely SWG won't even be running by the time TOR is released... I think this depends on how well this upcoming and subsequent new TCG lottery ticket additions (called expansions) sells. I seriously …

I do have to defend WoW here a little, despite the fact that I can't stand it or other games like it. In a way, I do agree with the "Wow Clone" thing. WoW doesn't actually contain ANYTHING that didn't happen before it. Several MMO's had levels,…

One of the greatest ironies is that at every single juncture, after mid-2004 or so, where SOE management made a MAJOR decision regarding SWG, if they'd done the exact opposite of what they decided and actually did, that the game would be on far more…

Originally posted by andmiller Originally posted by grandpagamer I doubt if any sony mmo's are losing money. What some do not understand is that in the world of business its not about making money vs. losing money its about making enough money…

In their defense, they acquired MXO well after Warner Brothers had screwed it up. Indeed, it makes no sense why they even wanted it, except to act as filler in the station pass, perhaps to add a 2nd Sci-Fi title so as to entice SWG subscribers to g…

Originally posted by FikusOfAhazi I think shutting down an MMO is an experience SOE needs to go through. Everyone is capable of understanding when an MMO is no longer performing, it closes down. It's sad, but people can understand it. It's much,…

Well, to support Survoc's statement, you need to look at what SOE has done with RMT so far. Prior to SOE's sudden addition of RMT stores to EQ/EQ2, and their rollout of "TCG games" that are essentially lotteries costing real money for the chance a…

I wonder how many more atrocoties they have left in the idea bank for this "game"? Since they keep having to make the next "expansion" of new lottery tickets, (cough) "CARDS" more outrageous in the loot that they give out than the previous ones to…

The question is, though, is this worth the development $$$ that it'd require to develop? Let's face it, SWG's TCG cards are more "scratch off" RMT lottery tickets for exclusive loot than they are playing cards for a game. The fact that there is s…
