Yeah, How about:

"The Connection To The Login Server Is Now Open..."

If the server is open, then why can't I log in. that's craziness... Change that to, "Trying To Open A Connection To The Login Server..."

Also, How about a real time status on the web for login / galaxy servers? It's been done for years, It'd take me about 2hrs to set it up on my home systems (Without resouces from my RL job). I think it's very poor how you guys communicate with us customers, who are in fact your livelyhood.

anyway, not a flame, I'm just frustrated that I cannot login or find any information to tell me why or when I'll be able to...

I'm starting to go through the bug database to fix up misc. text bugs. Other than Loading Screen bugs (separate thread for that), what text bugs annoy you most? I'm talking about grammatical, spelling, boxes in place of punctuation, etc. Please give as much detail as you can to help me locate these guys in the text tool.


(Please note, I have no programming skills to speak of, so this "low level" task is not taking away from any designer fixing the top issues).


Thanks for the second set of eyes.






Well I dont know if you can fix this but the "light fragmentation grenade" certification is misspelt for wookiees! (ie the C12 greande cert). If this is a simple matter of fixing the spelling thatn great but I have no idea how this is implemented but if you can do this all the better I wouldn't mind using a grenade or two for a change!

"All servers are up"



One of the more inaccurate messages. (Even if today's interuption has nothing to do with the servers, they often report "up" when they are not)

I know you said you don't code... but maybe you should learn and help fix bugs?

well, the one that bothers me the most, and i hope Q checks this again, is when you get a message that reads something like "You blaster looks like it needs repair" (not actual text), when it sould read "Your blaster....." or, when it is suposed to say "you're" but it still says "You"

i really reallly reallllly hate that. i wish i could tell you the exact text and NPC, but I CANT LOG IN RIGHT NOW!!!!

When entering or leaving the Mining Outpost on Dantooine, it still says you are leaving or entering 'pirate outpost'.

Considering the number of subscribers to this game, the lack of any kind of notification that the Login Server is down (and that SOE is working to fix it... atleast I hope they are), and has been for (as far as I know) an hour and a half... is rather discouraging.

sometimes the text in the chat box "shifts" to the left


example would be this whole message shifting left so you couldnt see the beginning of each line because its "behind" this chat windows left pane

I was reminded tonight of the one that bugs me...


On the launchpad login screen


"All servers are up except.."

Then proceeds to list 90% of the servers since they are down.


How about

"The following servers are offline"



The other one that I find annoying..


"You find nothing else of value on the selected corpse..."


I realize this makes sense AFTER the first loot attempt, but on the first attempt it sounds like you mayhave found something at one point.


How about

"You find nothing of valueon the selected corpse..."

Here's another one, Q:


When you bank tip someone from far away they receive an email saying the species, not the player name, that tipped them.
