I let SOE know how I feel by cancelling my account.
Let's just face it, SOE dropped the ball on this game.
O yeah, from what I've read JTL isn't going to be that great. They're going to put "artificial lag" into the game. Supposedly it's to slow broadband users down so 56k'ers can compete in a realtime twitch enviroment...very lame
"Great Expectations"...your kidding, right?

Short and sweet TH...I and my son who played this game as well quit SWG once already for 5 months...we came back to give it a second chance, only to see that very little had been improved upon or fixed. Yes some fluff was added, but the core game and many classes are still "broken" and the GCW is still non-existant.
After reading through the numerous "promises" from SOE...I realized SOE is more concerned with profit margin in a new expansion than they are about the current broken core game that continuosly is being backburnered. Your saying the same thing now that you were saying six months ago about "dev team initiatives" and "wanting to do this right". You also stated no dev commitments from the core game were being funneled to JTL, which is now known to be an outright lie to the community of the core game.
This latest news is my last straw. My two accounts arecanceled and they will not be re-opened...not for JTL or any thing else related to this "could have been" game.

My account= cancelled
When I first cancelled my account 2 days ago I had every intention of coming back for JTL, but after watching the mods try to hide negative post by deleting some, I can see nothing will change for the good with this company.
We were sold a broken product, we were told it would be fixed SOON. Now here we are one year later, and still this game is broken, and continues to get worse.
I think the community would have been much more forgiving if you guys were up front, and told the truth from the very beggining. Instead you(devs) chose to spin and deceive paying customers into continuing their subscriptions on the premise that fixes were not only in the works, but were near completion...lol
What's your response/excuse now? The same one you all had 7 months ago..."we need further input from the community"...nice

TH...might I also suggest that you add the following option to the "Exit Survey":
----What is the main reason you decided to stop playing Galaxies? (select ONE)
Feel lied to, cheated by and believe the dev team doesn't have a commitment to fix the core game before profit margin expansions

More servers added??? You got to be kidding me!
if anything they need to merge some servers...especially now with alot of people cancelling acounts, you may be seeing big parts of servers just fall
Why do you think they've been working on character transfer?

From comments made by TH noted in BlueCelts post it would appear that the combat balance has been in the works since last december, Why is it then in the in concept forum http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=in_concept&message.id=13442that the devs are looking for advice to what to change in combat after 8 months they still dont know what needs to be fixed ? Also the ham balance was slated for what I believe was pub 8 which ended up being cut at the last minute, what happen to this cruicial fix. To me it makes no sence that I am helping my openent by using specials that I have mastered. Its pretty much committing suicide using specials if your unbuffed.

Thats why I am crunching my avatar and possessions into a bank box and onto my two avatars. That way when I hit the cancel button, and log off for the last time they will be both sitting infront of the mos eisley starport where this mess took place. If or more likely when the decide to delete my server and if I decide to come back. I can just transfer things that way. If they say the transfer is sans items. Then I do not think I will return anyway.

Because they were busy working on JTL to release it as soon as possible, with the smallest amount of bugs possible...

Its kinda funny that TH's final post on the original thread was not on the topic at hand but on the question of "is anyone reading this".

SWG has finally fulfilled its destiny.
We have truly become, AN EMPIRE DIVIDED.
Only...not as planned...
We have set Jedi against Mortals
We have set Developers against Subscribers
We have set NooBs against Veterans
We have set Dreams against Dollar$
We have set REASON against ADDICTION
We have set Developers against Subscribers
We have set NooBs against Veterans
We have set Dreams against Dollar$
We have set REASON against ADDICTION
ANYTHING & EVERYTHING EXCEPT A HEALTHY BATTLE BETWEEN REBELS AND IMPERIALS.
I repeat...We have fulfilled our destiny and truly become AN EMPIRE DIVIDED.
...The dark side I sense at work here...
