IT’s too bad a game like SWG had to be ruined by the lies, unethical business practices, and mismanagement of Sony Online Entertainment.

This article is nothing but a media fluff piece. I still have yet to see anyone in the media who has written up “fluff” pieces on these thieves ask them about the blatantly illegal “bait and swtch” tactic they used in selling the Trials of Obi-Wan expansion, or the mountain of class-action litigation that was about to descend on them 11-15-05.

Sony Online Entertainment should have been sued over this debaucle, and all it’s principal employees reprimanded/terminated for such a breach of public and consumer trust.

This game needs to just die. They started to kill it on November 15th 2005 but it has been on life support for the last 2 years.

Dear Bonnie,
With the current state of SWG, it may be wise to avoid this topic.

Q: What happens when gamers need a break from fighting in Star Wars Galaxies?

A: Run into the kitchen, grab a hotpocket, return only to find the “Greatest Saga Ever Told” gone, then go play EVE.

Linna and Bob said it all, very good posts.

Imo, SWG today is a joke. Some devs have been given a game engine to play with.
And they play…no planning. How can SOE have a MMO game that don’t have future goals set up? They go publish by publish…..

Mark my words, SOE will go down sooner than later, there will be other alternatives for companies that need publishers, and when that happends SOE has lost their last source of income.

The lost the income from developing games at Nov 15, 2005.

Thanks to everybody involved with destroying the most original game out there! Especially those kids who whined about things being to hard.

Pre-Cu, FTW!

Where is the sychronized group of 20 dancers? Oh, yeah…that was before SWG suffered unwanted changes resulting in oversimplified game play and the mass exodus of players. The dancing, although well choreographed, was not what truly amazed me….it was that the creator actually found enough player toons to actually pull off making the video.

I am also amazed that the notorius business blunder of November 15, 2005, resulting in the loss of well over 200k SWG accounts, was never rectified. Too many numbers to work withI suppose……

Not much more to say other than the poor decisions by SoE will haunt them with all future MMO games. We saw it with Vanguard, and we will see it with all of their new titles. No one trusts them, and with a MMO, trust is crucial. WE will be there to make sure that no one forgets.

So… the only thing fun to do in STARWARS, is to do a dance from a movie that has nothing to do with starwars..

I wish SOE get surgery from their apparent rectal – cranial inversion.
