Ch was the first prof i ever mastered (yeah ok it was fotm but forgive me 
). Really sucks to see them fall into obscurity over the last 2 years, only now to be removed totally. I really feel for anyone who brought the expansion on the back of promises of taming/controlling the higher level pets. I had just started taking one of my toons ch again, just picked up the novice box, guess i should try and master so i have the title to show for it at least. 
/salute to all ch's.

Can you use the support of an Old Smuggler?
Where can I sign up to help you guys?
You add flavour to this game.
Rancors kept as pets are iconic.

I'm truly sorry for all of you. I just started to make a CH on Farstar and well.....now what's the point?
I'm sure the news of the new game hit your community the hardest and for that i express my condolences.

Greetingsto all the CH community, it was fun 
It was great to be part of this great profession, i think we are the best and we always do fair play, both ingame and in the forum. Good luck to all leaving the game, but I have the hope that the new simplisticclasses system dont reach live, we have to fight for our game

To each and everyone who has the love of creature handler i salute you, and leaving the ranks of CH for jedi was very hard indeed - even to the point of working my alt to CH, just to be a part of this wonderful community. Ko-aIri - great job keeping us informed over the MANY, MANY nerfs and bugs we always got. I last night finally released my pets back to the wild, even though I have been unable to call them for over 3 months. But in light of the NGE (what a joke!) I released them instead of allowing any kind of bug to damage or change my beloved pets, even if they could only sit and sleep in my data pad.
But this is also a sigh of relief, to see CH finally be put out of its misery after all of the promises and nerfs we got in the past. Its like finally having a grandparent pass away after battling a fatal disease - sad to them die, but relieved there is no more pain and suffering.

I am sickened by the propossed changes and feel betrayed.
I was looking forward to the new changes brought by ToOW. I was looking forward to coming back to a game excited for new locals and new friends.
I wanted a jedi and even had the professions picked for my future alt: CH was the first I was going to master.
If CH is truely not part of the New SWG then I am afraid I must not be. I know I have not been a very avtice member of these boards, but I always applauded your efforts here. I also worked with Vert on many occassions in game (acctualy more coincidence because I happened to join the same guild as he).
Good night pets. Sleep well. I hope to see you again someday, even if it is in my dreams.

Sad, sad, sad. I don't know what else to say. I've been a Master CH for so long and I've had my pets for so long. Words don't even begin to express how I feel about not being able to use all my character's little buddies. Thanks for all the posts. At least we all know we're not alone in feeling shocked, dismayed, angry and sad all at once. Thanks Ko-aIri for all you've done and for all your hard work. I really hope they bring us back. I'll keep my fingers crossed but being around as long as I have... I won't hold my breath.

Ko - you have been a great correspondent, loving the profession as we all do.
I am still in shock and spent the first few hours of hearing the news of no CH actually crying. We all went through the death and removal of our favourite pets, learnt to play again with the new CH system which actually looked like they were trying to incorporate us into the combat game again. We were all so happy. What an incredible system in a game that can create such empathy with AI - can you honestly say ANY other game has come close to this? And now they throw this uniqueness away.
And now this betrayal. Would it have been so hard to put that 10th Icon up there. The Rancor handler. The guy we all went aaaawww for - when Luke killed his pet. I wanted CH since beta - it was my only goal. I achieved it and played every day since, having completed all my fs trees, I would not go further as I had no wish to give up the CH or the TK.
Thye had implemented the seeds of a very good creature handler system - the creation of unique pets. But like the curbing of players to only one profession, the death of the interesting hybrid player - at the end of the day the game will sink into banality losing all sense of its original uniqueness so appreciated by many.
The game has always been more broken than other online games, and we moaned but we still played, choosing this game before all others - till now.
I can't see me staying after the death of my profession and all that I loved about this game. With me goes my second account - the BE/CH already cancelled.

Ko, you have been a beacon of light and a source of inspiration in often very dark times. /salute
My fellow Creature Handlers, I count myself blessed to have been a member of your community. /salute
This is very, very dark times indeed. I have been a CH for almost 2 years now. Tried out a lot of other professions, but CH was always the constant in the equation. Never thought I would be doing this, but I cancelled my account today. :-(

A friend of mine who plays a MCH on here had just introduced me to CH and I was close to going NCH when I got blindsided with this. Too bad really. I was looking forward to doing this, and now I really don't want to do any of it. I'm not much into Hack-and-Slash, but at least doing it with a pet looked to be a bit of fun and different from just shooting and looting.
One other advantage I was finding was that I could group up with my pet when I couldn't find anyone else to group up with and go work missions. I've had, as I'm sure many have, snubbings by those that are higher level because my character wasn't going to bring enough firepower to the group to make it worth their while to group me in. Having a pet meant I had less to worry about with that. I could still do missions and work on levelling up. Now I'm afraid that I'll find myself frustrated as I try to find someone to group up with and I can't because I'm not on 24/7. I won't have a pet that I can use to help me out, and I'm going to be more than a little frustrated.
By the way, what level will the creatures that can attack us allowed to level up to? If they can go to level 80, how is that fair?

Recovering a bit from the shock this CU2 message invoked, I still can not believe what they are planning to do. I've been Creature Handler most of my SWG life and still have all my pets in my Datapad. I was and still am always happy when I see someone running around with their pets.
And now THAT ... O_o ... if this is really going live and it will be only half as bad as promised, it still will be more than enough of a reason to quit entirely.
It's so sad that I do not really find appropriate words. The more I think about it, the more I hope that another company who is a bit dedicated to the Star Wars Universe rather than to pure money will create SWG2.........
Farewell guys and maybe see you in another game.
Thanks to all the correspondants for all their time and passion.
