C'mon folks, lets get this programm contacted by as many UK based CH and players asap and make them aware of our plight and situation. I will not go down without a fight, i will not let SOE kill SWG and dumb the game down for the console smacktard generation. I will not let them sell us an expansion that promised CH content only to have that content removed with our profession 14 days after the expansion went live!

Good idea, I was going to email Watchdog.


Do if if you are in the UK. We might manage to get it mentioned on a nationalevening TV show. Watchdog does a good job of embarrassing companies with shoddy business practices.

I was promised a CH necklace which is the ONLY reason I bought ToOW. Now, the prof is becoming obsolete. Thanks for your observation though. False advertising is illegal also btw.

A company cannot break the law by using the EULA. Should SOE add, "By clicking 'I accept,' you agree to allow SOE employees to come to your house and kick you in the nuts and laugh at you..." to the EULA, it doesnt mean that they could actually do it.

If SOE had not been advertising this CH necklace thingy with all new things to tame, there would be upset people, but we'd have very little recourse. They promised new CH content knowing full well that CHers were going to be removed from the game, and arent allowing us a refund. Its unethical, and they need to be held accountable.

What false advertising? It said you can get the CH Necklace and from launch till the 15th you can. Unless the box said something like "New CH Necklace that lasts FOREVER" in which case you have a point.

Looking at all the work they put into this its pretty safe to say it's not gonna change or be canceled.

Actually, it hasnt been discovered on any server. We dont even know if it is actually ingame, and I highly doubt it will be ingame before the CH profession gets the Nerfaxe(tm).
