so lemme get this straight, if you don't buy the expansion you won't get the revamp or something?

Well I think the main problem was not asking the community's opinion. You go to some of the other games and when people try to push mods out then show SS and stuff of them and ASK the opinions of the community to see if they look good, get better ideas for it and then fix it. The problem with SWG is they thought that they KNEW what the community wanted, spent TONS of money to get it to work, put it on TC only 1 month before its supposed to go live, and then locks/deletes posts/threads that complain about the job they did on it. They dont even listen to our ideas that have been posted, the game is made to what they want, not the community.

The CU is downloaded, you automatically get it when it comes out. This was the main reason why so many people liked SWG, it was different from EQ2 and Lineage2 and other MMORPG's

The lack of communication is a real problem... Its always been a problem. they briefly introduced polls to the forum once. that dissapeared real fast. They wont listen to proposals to change things in the CU either. their track record for that is pretty bad.

If the Beta goes very very bad, and has tons of bugs... the CU will go live in early may... why you ask? Why would SOE push a broken, buggy, unbalanced publsih to live early? simple.... The new Expansion (which is nothing more then a glorified publish) and Ep III are both coming out in early may....The Devs are using the new combat system as a selling point for the new expansion... well they have to because other then 1 planet... the new expansion is weaker then most publishes...So all in all... doesnt matter if its broke... pushing it live in early may = $$$$$$$and that is all SOE cares about... not what we think, not what the Core's think... not if its ready... they only care about making money.
Woot Rave, we bought the star wars total conversion of EQ2!!!(If you mod games or play mods to games you know what im talking about)
No no...EQ2 is actually fun. CU isn't.

of course they want to make money. its just the fact that they would put that above the interest of the game thats the problem. look at how many players they hurt with these changes.

And the 2 best things of EQ2 combat (encounter locking and Heroic Opportunities) didn't get carried over in the CU, we're only getting some generic combat systems found in any mediocre mmorpgs with nothing to set it apart from say DAoCs tank/healer/mezzer/damage dealer model with no other cool elements (such as EQ2 heroic opportunities) to spice it up... but i'm being off topic.
