Thread: I'm so sorry gang... and a farewell.
I really am shedding tears over this.
You've been great Ko-airi.
This really is depressing.
/hugs all fellow CH's
I'm telling you crafters are not far behind you.
/salute
CH was one of the most fun profs I've played....will be sadly missed.

All along the devs said we would be able to tame CL 80 creatures in the expansion. They even put a screenshot of the necklace in a Friday Feature. I guess nobody could find it actually in the game because of the plans they had to axe the profession. Many CH's baught the expansion because of this added ability to CH's. How could the devs knowingly lie to us like this?
Because they wanted your money to feed their bottom line. I too was suckered by SOE/LucasArts who knowingly sold us a bill of goods. This is bait and switch. Contact your state's Attorney General's office on Consumer Fraud.

Hey folks,
This complete game change blindsided me just like it blindsided you. I had no knowledge that it was coming, and I can't even believe what I've read tonight.
My friend text messaged me about a "new CU" while I was at work, then bluntly told me Creature Handler was not in the grand design at all. I left work early to see exactly what he was talking about, and I can't understand what happened at all.
To all my friends here on the Creature Handler forum, I am so incredibly sorry. This profession, and this community, is why I played Star Wars: Galaxies. You guys were/are the best of the best, the most dedicated and awesome group of gamers I've had the pleasure of meeting. Even if we are less than 1% of the playerbase (hard to believe how far we've fallen since launch, when every other person was a CH), we're still just as important (if not more so) than any Jedi or Bounty Hunter.
I will not be re-applying for CH correspondent if this new system takes effect. I doubt that matters as it seems there will be no Creature Handler profession. I have already posted my feelings to the dev team. I will likely not be renewing my subscription either, as the game I love is not the game that seems to be coming.
For those of you staying around, proudly wear your Master Creature Handler title... maybe in time, the team will come to their senses.
For any of you who would like to be in touch with me in the future, feel free to AIM me at TheDarkGodHeston, or e-mail me at [email protected]. I can't promise to respond fast, but I'll eventually get around to it.
Vertexon was the first Creature Handler Correspondent, and I was the second and presumably last. It has been my honor to serve you folks, and I'm so sad to see our profession die I can't express it. Take care of yourselves, and hope to see you in future games!
Mike Litzinger, Creature Handler Correspondent
Take care and good luck. I am out the door with you.
Take care Ko-a, you've done a remarkable job!
I'm not ready to statemy thoughtson these changes yet. I need to wait until I am capable of posting constructively again.
I am a Jedi - or was until I cancelled a couple of minutes ago. I unlocked on Creature Handler, a profession I really enjoyed. I still came in from time to time to read what was going on in the hope that the horrible nerf that took place at the beginning of 2004 would be fixed. Well, now I guess it has. Good luck to you - you were an excellent correspondent.

I was going to bea MCH/jedi when I heard about the CH necklace. My herd of brackesets, I'm so sorry dears, but I'll still feed ya if I can. I've had like 8 brackesets in my datapad 5 female, 3 male for like well 22 months, plus a few other creatures. Maybe we'll still be able to call these to ride. Hopes at least. I'm happy the gamehas changed the CU, but CH is and was special. I had almost mastered CH when my first holo said my first mastery was to be CH which was like um hello waste of a holo.
/salute CH, may your mounts be trusty, your pets be true, defending and gaurding me and you! I will miss you.
On the bright side we don't have to worry about how to get the new nacklace or the wookiee/ithorian problem.
Sorry the door hit you on the way out.
cancelled both of my acounts, if they change their mind and keep the game the way it is i'll be back, but don't expect me to not have hard fealings about wasting a year of my playing time on a game that i have absolutely no reason to believe that any effort i put into building a game character will have a chance in hell of lasting more than a few months before they make all of my efforts meaningless.
goodbye.
