First off, it seems obvious to me the 1% of the player population that are CH, was calculated AFTER they rolled all the professions into the 9 "iconic" professions. Have not seen that theroy posted anywhere. Secondly, I have nocticed severl posts from coros and others that attended the meeting in Austin, and in some of there posts thay have said "they were not at liberty to dicuss xxx" including why CHs where removed. My speculation is, this: Since the NGE is really just talking EQ2 exsisting coding and making it Star Wars, there was no code that carried over. Stealing code is a basic prcatice in all programing, especially in the video game industry, but SOE and LA will not admitt, they are turning this into a cookie cutter game. Again this is my theroy and not stated fact.

Thay being said, the only reason I am not canceling my account right now, is becuase I finally finshed my Jedi grind after a full year going through the FS Village etc. And although I much prefer playing my MCH alt, I refuse to let all those months be wasted. However, if CH is not returned at some point in the near future, and I dislike the NGE, I may cancel in the future. Good luck to all of us animal lovers that truly enjoyed one of the great aspects of any MMORPG ever, and a tear shed for every "friend" we will be losing.

I think they wanted to get rid of CH from the beginning. They finally found a way to drop the hammer on us.

Friggin Liars is what they are.

You are oboselete. Your pathetic existance will finally be dealt with. Conform and be rewarded.

The NGE sounds nothing like EQ2. EQ2 is similar to the current game system.

As for CHs, EQ2 has pet classes. So copying EQ2 wouldn't cause a problem with CHs.

I've posted this elsewhere, in a slightly more nasty form. READ THIS CAREFULLY. What the 1% literally means is that 1% of players do not have some mastery other than CH and BE. DUH! So if you are MCH and MCarb, for example, you are not in the 1%. You pretty much have to be MCH/MBE with no other mastery to fit into the 1%. This combination was so nerfed after CU that most people who had it dropped it.

Saego, Wanderhome.

of course we know their excuses are just that excuses ...SOE has always made some far fetched excuse for the lack of programming prowess in this game

imo thats the issue with ch ..they cant find a simple way to have a ch control a pet in battle in a fps type environment..

a very verysad day indeed

i was ch for 18 months before i started my jedi path ..of course i still have all my pets in my dpad .. i look at them some times ..i loved them so...my plans were toeventually lvl my alt to mch and pass them on to her but alas it will never happen

I'm MBH and almost MCH (last 350K xps in the master box to get)..I grinded a lot this week because to it's really important to accomplish my template and realize the project that I set up 2 months ago when I bought the game as personal birthday gift.

I think tomorrow I'll be done with that.

Ok, now, I can't wait to play "the new game", I'm curious about it. I always thought that SWG had many thing in need to be changed, and if we think that over the times games are getting better and better, a great upgrade to the game is inevitable.

BUT: you say that CHs and BEs were unpopular professions, you say that most new customers had big troubles in understanding the game system and left the game and for that reason you are changing the game. You say that most of the people choose combat professions.

What I know is not exactly what you are trying to say. What I know is that the best crafters are pissed off by your game because they cannot access to 90% of the game content because they don't have enough skill points to learn a combat prof and use a gun and an armor. What I know is that CH is unpopular profession because you nerfed that profession hundred times, without being able to understand the enormous potentialities hidden in it. What I know is that you behaviour both when servers have problems and when there are important changes in the game to discuss, is to lie to your customers and to hide the truth to them. You promised a special taming necklace to CH if they bought Mustafar, that's a lie. 3 weeks later you are erasing CHs from the game. You said the the glowing issue (people who had to glow not glowing anymore) was a reknown bug and DEvs were working on it...it's a lie. You closed the access to the village because you were planning the upgrade.

YOU LIE TO YOUR CUSTOMERS AND YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS GAME WORKS.

I really hope that the upgrade will be completely rebuilt. CHs and BEs must stay there. You can place them as secondary professions but leave them there. Get rid of combat doctor, medic fencer, bio pikeman, and so on (all the mix that you put on this game) but leave CHs and BEs inside the game because they are much more Star Wars than a princess leia calling orbital strikes from the sky. You are ridiculous, totally out of mind. You want people to hate you.

I always played Lucas Art Games. I always thought that Lucas games were the best. Lucas can you hear this? SOE is putting **edit** on you.
