So with today's news we can't post why we are angry at soe??????
So much for the selling ps3 games back to gamestop it seems sony is trying another new marketing ploy.....
Title of article ; Sony makes moves to stamp out lucrative second-hand market
Words: Matt Cundy
Yall want more fule for the fire check this article out it is no longer a rumor
Folks that are interested look at there stock quote history and what it did after e 3's anounment
Yeah I just saw that too. Now Shayde stop bugging them poor innocent people in Vanguard. Let them keep the delusion alive. That way it will be funnier for us come release.
You know, how did I ever get 4 stars? I'm kind of a jackass.
*grin evilly*
I think you guys have the wrong approach.
You should adopt an attitude like: We love you SoE, but we prefer this younger model now!
I still think SoE is one of the great MMO company, but one of the great mean nothing, I stick with the greatest and nothing else. For now it is NCsoft and Cryptic, I am currently dreaming about BioWare MMO. And this would make many persons wonder, eh, if Cryptic fall second it mean that...SoE will fall in third! Yup, exactly! In second they might always dream and hope, in third they better adapt or accept this as a fatality!
As long as you just show hatred, SoE will shrug. Make them jealous! Especially when it it TRUE that you prefer a younger, more performant model. You don't stop loving them, they are just, the spare tire, the extra sandwitch, the second option.
See, SoE try to make me jealous of the raiders in old EQ...it work for sometimes, now it serve them well, THEY are jealous of NCsoft and Blizzard at the same time!
See, instead of been angry at SoE, tell them that: "Eh, we still can be friends!"
SoE don't want you to just be a friend, they want more, they want your subscribtions! But I only subscribed to my true love, not to a friend!

So the fanbois have won here too? Very well I accept defeat, I shall not post anything critical of $OE outside this thread within this forum again. However I believe mmorpg.com shall regret their decision to control us, as have the mighty $OE.
DEUS VULT!

I dont post here much, but I watch these forums because I like Star Wars, and any news about up and coming Star Wars MMO's or SWG will usually be posted here. I dont generally get involved in flame wars or post "Im Angry at SOE" type stuff.
However if a thread is started here asking "Is SWG for me?", or "Is SWG a Good Game?", I will gladly tell them that the best way is to just try it for themselves and see if they like it.
BUT, as a consumer and a gamer, I feel obligated to inform the person that the game they buy today will probably NOT be the same game 6 months from now, and any hard work and money they put into the game will more than likely be lost with no refunds.
I also feel obligated as a consumer and a gamer to inform the person that SOE has a long proven track record of lies, shady buisness practices, poor customer support, Nazi style moderated Forums, buggy programing, and will even try bait and switch tactics on thier customers if they think they can get away with it.
Now...To me, IMHO..Im not trying to flame SOE, or generate any hate for SOE. I just feel that as a person who has played SWG for over 2 years, and has seen first hand what goes on there for over 2 years that I should inform any would be subscribers to SWG of what to expect. In Not doing so, I could be setting some potential subscriber up for a very serious disapointment 6 months from now. Not to mentioned lost time and money that the person has invested. And Im sure the potential Subscriber would be wondering why nobody warned him/her. I feel it is our duty to do so.
To me these are proven Truths. Are these forums now going to be moderated to the point that we can no longer inform others of the truth of to expect? Old news or not, its the truth. And SOE will continue to act, and treat current customers, and future customers as they always have. wich makes it ongoing Current News.
Quick question....Are the other SOE game forums also generating "Im Angry at SOE" type threads? I never look, but judging by what the OP said its not just here in the SWG forums.

SOE took hundreds and hundreds of meeelllions of dollars from my character that i spent many many yrs of hard earned time making. drunk hours until 5 am getting UBER loot worth nothing at all
then they took my jedi and crapped on him making him un-uber, then they took my bh and took all his fun in hunting. /quitlife: pause2 /endlife 
KARMA WILL KILL SOE, and we will get our game back. Have faith it will happen

It was a bad thing, because they never delivered on any of those things... and they destroyed the fun that they actually had going for them.
Like deciding to make a million dollar check into confetti because it looks more festive.

SOE needs to scrap the current SWG game and let someone else make the next gen SWG...SOE might be able to make some money keeping the current game but eventually they will lose out...if they made classic servers they might double what they have now but that will take away from their current game and instead we would all be starting over...
but PRE-CU FTW!!!
put back the professions
put back what made it a player run economy
put back the FUN!
We have enough Youth, How about a Fountain of Intelligence?
And just how long did you play the dying "Sims online" version?
I played right up until the CU, and it was hardly "dying". It was the most thriving MMO I've seen of its age (2 years at the time). The change in the core game was not because it was "dying", but rather because it didn't have the "6 million" sub count that World of Warcraft supposedly had. SOE decided that in order to get those same numbers, they had to blantantly rip-off as much of the WoW game mechanics as they could legally get away with.
The question, after more than a year, and two major changes to the gameplay engine (costing many, many players to lose their investments in time and money), is: Does SWG have the sub numbers now that match those of World of Warcraft?
Not even close. What's sadder, they aren't even close to the pre-CU numbers. If that result doesn't qualify as a failure (not even considering the tens of thousands of people that now hate them passionately), I don't know what does.

Right.. two complete overhauls later.. and MANY less players than ever before. Out of over 1000 SWG players on our private forums, SIX still play. Yeah.. the nge is fun on a stick.

300K pre-CU at the time of JTL
250K after the CU
200K at the time they did NGE
~50K at most now.
Is there any argument against at least doing classic servers at this point?!!!!
Nope.
Hi, I just wanted to say that I somewhat sympathize with what your trying to do. But please keep these points in mind.
In conculsion, I think it might help releace the fustration with SWG and SOE if the following was done.

Apache_, you are my hero today.
MMORPG.com staff:
You really could care less if folks get screwed out of their money due to corruption. Your business will only suffer if you get involved. We on the other hand are players, who understand eachother and look out for eachother.
Yeah you all want to make money and build reputations in the industry. But we on the other hand don't care about having a career in the industry. We just want to protect eachother, and make the genre grow. We do it for the love of it, and not to make a career for ourself. We have the purest of motives at heart.
Maybe you all forgot where you came from, and who you serve. If you keep protecting the ones who cheat players, and cause misery for the players, then what use are you people?
I don't come here for the "insider info." I can get better insider info from the developer's own websites.
I don't come here for the "free promotions." I can get most of the same promotions fron the publishers.
I sure as heck don't come here for the "T-Shirts" and "Hype Meter." If I wanted cheap shirts, and hype, I can get plenty of that from the publishers. I don't need you people for that.
What I need from you people is my interest as a gamer, and the truth. Not attempts to take sides on this issue.
If you are going to censor a thread because it says something that can be interpreted as bad for SOE, then it is no better than if you were an extention of SOE.
The fact of the matter is that gamers got screwed out of their money, and their confidence in the genre has been broken. This is not the sort of issue that will just go away, no matter how much we all want it to, and believe me, many of the "SOE bashers" would want that.
But we must place the anger at the proper source. It is not we MMORPG members that are to blame. It is SOE, and their poor handling of the situation, that has created this hostile environment here on your website.
