Lets all be clear about one thing. SOE has made some shocking decisions in the past and make no mistake about it; these include business decisions as well as development decisions. They have a track record for both.
However, the big issue here is …
Well my ideal mmo would be a star wars mmo. I've just started uploading my thoughts on the design on this this site and will be adding more and more (early next week i hope). Ill be making a post about it once i have it up but until then basically:

Yeah my last post in this thread too. Basially if you want to buy SOE products then fair enough. Just have a little think about what their business practices have been in the past thats all. If you still want to buy them then go ahead, you may even …
SOE never learned from their hundreds (yes hundreds) of other mistakes throughout the game's life span from development to launch to post launch up to the NGE.
They never listened to the feedback of the players or when times they did, they either …

Well part of that we know to be false. Bioware are making an mmo from the ground up. They have for instance just aquired the hero engine,…

Well what might be a screw-up to you..Some people do say it was a good thing although i'd say the majority doesn't like the update but there is a bunch of people (obviously) that enjoy the NGE and CU..I don't feel…

Hmm hmm...Well i really am SICK to my stomach about people to this day EVERY TIME SOE is mentioned i see the word SWG right after it,i really think you veterans need to move on it's really putting me to a point th…
Im playing LOTRO too buddy but not enough sandbox for me though. But congratulations though, glad it no longer causes you grief, its not worth it!
As for me being over it? Dont think it will ever go away. Its like your best present, although its o…
If bioware does go ahead with SW then it will most definately give you choices.
Everything they have said before, regarding what they want to do with their mmo, they have said repeatedly its going to be choices all the way, They have had their wr…

It will not be KOTOR ( as Bioware no longer has rights to it ) and it won't be D&D based ( as there is already a fairly new D&D MMO ).
I read an article a while ago with an interview with some bioware exec..…

Only SoE knows the numbers.
Lol
49k is entirely believable even if it isnt correct

Yeah least everyone else in the market can now see that massive changes simply do not give a good return on investment. By Smedleys own words they will not be doing it again any time soon as it does not work.
SOE said the pre-NGE experience was the 'owen-lars' experience (my old forum name by the way lol). They say Post NGE its the iconic star wars gaming experience. With these comments they were obviously just trying to get people on board and justify t…
The guy who runs mmodata would be the first to admit when he is wrong about data and would update it. However its no made up numbers here. He mainly is in touch with coporate investors and the like and company insiders who remain anonymous. Sure he …

Best: Pre-NGE SWG (most of my friends and people i played with left then)
SWG was such a great community. If you needed help you could get it, if you needed a group you could get it, if you wanted to join a family of friends in cities, hunts etc y…
