    He knows how to spin the media and thats why he's where he is,doesnt matter he's number 3 he's an icon becuase he blunders about and gets away with it,the man is simply a media genious and you cant pay for the sort of advertising he can come up with a simple quote from him.
     
    And at the end of the day NOBODY except those who where at the informous NGE meeting knows what went on regarding the changes to SWG,nobody..you may speculate,have a mate whos a mate of who works in the shop where a suit from LA/SOE shopped when he was a kid,becuase simply the minutes from that meeting have to my knowledge eveer been released.

    Make all the fun you want -- you may use the Internet to lie; I use it to communicate and share information and opinions.

     

    I have never lied on any forums. Credibilty is something we build up over time by being honest; I feel I have more than established my credibility here. I have been posting on this subject since the CU.

    I am far from anonymous here; I am an SOE Influencer for what it's worth and have ongoing relationships with various parties involved.

    Enjoy your rulership of your imaginary land; I'll simply enjoy being an honest man.

     

    No i dont use the net to lie..why would i..the point i make is simple i have your word and ultimetly YOUR opinion of the way things worked out over the SWG debacle.

     

    You have issues with Smedley and that taints your opinion sadly but at the end of the day you dont sign his no doubt sizable pay check,so someone,somewhere must feel he's doing something right.

     

    An influencer eh? grats on that but it doesnt mean much becuase you dont have the proof of that infamous meeting that brought about the NGE,you say you have info but as i say this is the net and this is a forum and people overestimate thier worth to the grand scheme of things but in the end the influencer programme means nothing becuase lets be fair if it did then the game would still be the same.

     

    I too have been on and off here since the CU,have a look around my posts and when i joined the forum,nobody foamed more at the mouth than me at the time and yes i miss the old girl,but i've moved on i know a lot of people cant or are unable to and i can understand that but really nobody cares in the wider world of MMO's about SWG and what happened,its history now and if other devs learn from the mistake than the genre will be better for it.

     

    I rarely post here now but usually post if something catches my eye mainly becuase of some peoples rather rabid views expressed in this forum,its a games company nothing more,they make 1 good game,had a greeat idea in SWG but didnt follow it through,theyy push poor titles out that they didnt make VG,PoBS and a couple of other that frankly are past thier sellby date,but thats all they do nothing more.

     

    If Koster was the visionary people here would have you believe then he would have forseen the onward march of the casual gamer,something that SWG never was and that was its biggest flaw and as we all know now WOWs ease of use (plus the blizzard name) all but killed SWG in the water,sure SOE didnt help but people want to see something for thier playtime not arse about looking for naff or squill groups (though hell i do miss that) but i digress.

     

    If i offeneded you by making fun then i'm sorry and hope your feelings have healed now,but untill you can provided the proof of the NGE meeting you attended then to me being an influencer means nothing,just hot air,but provide me and i'll happily start a thread where you can /flame away at me..but i fear that wont be needed.

     

    For me this is my last post on this particular forum,its served its purpose to me at least but all its doing now is going round and round in circles not getting anywhere,SWG was my gaming life for 15 months till the CU and i miss it but like i say i'm lucky i've moved on though i'll keep an eye out for that privelidge info you have ;)

    It's damn hard in the UK to find a copy of EQ2 in stores nowadays. You will get the odd store with a copy of the original game (with no expansions or anything) in the bargain bin for like £5 but then I have only ever seen like 3 copies of the Rise of Kunark set with everything in and I contacted that same store yesterday and they said they don't have it in anymore and they won't be stocking it. I think SOE need to focus on getting the game on shelves if they want subcriber numbers up, I don't think the general public who are looking for a new MMO will want to be downloading everything online and buying the game as a digital download, they will walk in to a store and pick it up off the shelf as it is 10 times easier.

    100% agree with you

     

     

    Not one shop near where i live in the uk stocked ROK at launch or even today (i always check),now that is down pure and simply down to SOE's miniscule advertising budget for the game

     

    They do shoot themselves in the foot with this game,they really do
