General Discussion

AHAHHAAHAH TOO FUNNY :)

hmmm...... I wonder why the SWG devs right now dont post there subscriber numbers. The devs at Eve online do because their not ashamed of there subscriber numbers. The relationship between MMO players and devs of MMO companies need to be transparent for an MMOG to succeed.

Not telling the press what kind of subscriptions numbers you have doesnt make sence to me if the said game is popular. Maybe thats because SWG isn't popular anymore.

I've never played SWG but I still watch SWG forums like a 30+ year old housewife that watches soaps. I CANT GET ENOUGH OF THIS SOAP OPERA ITS FACINATING :)

Greedy MMO corp trying to snatch the quick buck. (GREED)
Real people getting EXTREMELY upset at watching there favorite game go buy buy. (TRAGEDY)
Reading SOE devs so called RESPONSES (BLUNDERS)

....Its all ABSOLUTELY hilarious. I'll continue waste my time following this SOE-OPERA because its funnier than commedy central to read all the flaming and whining.

It seems to me that there will be people in this thread that will think im laughing at other peoples grief over SWG. For the SWG vets out there im sorry... really i am........ its just soooo funny watching these SOE people put so much spin on a game that they promote. Funny that they'll tell you about how cool the game is but not tell you there subscriber numbers ahaahhhahahaaa I HOPE THIS GAME BURNS AND SOE GOES BANKRUPT FOR THEY WILL NEVER GET A CENT OF MY MONEY EVER.

P.S. the caps in this post were USED FOR EMPHASIS and is not for yelling ty for reading

Lol.

What an unfortunate waste of the interviewers time......

SOE talk much but say very little

Nice to see them still shoveling the same old BS that they have been, and I really loved the "No comment" answer, simply classic!

I was almost considering resubscribing to SWG since I loved the game so much, and miss the game it once was, but I know i'd just wind up getting angry and upset all over again seeing what those morons have done to it.

And as for huge companies like LucasArts and SOE saying it's just not technically possible to run old versions of the code, thats total crap, you can't tell me they don't have the money and programmers to get it running again, they just won't admit they screwed the game up with the NGE and will instead blindly stumble on, thinking all is well in SWG land, when they are the laughing stock of the MMO world.

And his answer pretty much confirmed those server population numbers, the game is dead, the only reason it's even still running is so SOE can have another POS game to bundle for their all access pass, it's been reduced to filler instead of a game that could stand on it's own.

Wow im glad i quit a few months ago. These idiots change the core gameplay on us, then say they wont roll back but re-introduce some minor crap from pre-nge, No deal here, i want roll back or nothing. And they can too make classic servers, these guys are a bunch of dam scum bag liars and thiefs, dont let SWG drain your money. Go play anything else. Their publish plan is to fix the crap game they have now-why in the world would you pay for that? And what other game company says no comments in a interview?? Lame lame lame. Stay away from Sony-big corps. = Trouble and Bad. Take your NGE SWG and stick it where the sun dont shine SOE. And GOOD LUCK getting more players-HA.

And BTW Props to MMORPG.com for asking the real Real questions we want to hear. Keep it up.

I played SWG from the day it started.

The game was amazing for someone who wanted to feel immersed in an online world.  The diversity available made it so each player could truly feel like they were unique in the game.  Players needed crafters, entertainers, scouts and doctors to be successful (giving those who wanted to play support roles a rewarding playing experience too).

That was then, this is now. 

Now, a 5 year old can start as a Jedi immediately and progress through the leveling system without EVER needing anything from any of the support classes.

If you are looking for a complex, diverse gaming experience, look somewhere else.

If you are after an online first person shooter with many planets to explore, then SWG is for you.
