Create a POP3/SMTP email server? I can think of better ways SOE can spend their time. There is enough problems with gameplay issues to be wasting time on in-game email. I think the bottem line is....email was wasting resources because there was no limits, now there is limits on email. I think if people really enjoy your newsletter then they wouldn't mind signing up to have it sent to their out of game email address.

there already was a character limit ... 8000 characters roughly. and there was already a limit on the number of emails a person could have as well.
Keeping larger email sizes and solving the problem through other means such as local storage with in game access isn't asking for a lot either. Sure ... its more coding to get it working ... but it will actually help solve database size issues as millions of emails would no longer be in their databases but actually on peoples hardrives.
Their solution just means more email traffic stored on their databases as large emails get split into two emails ... not what you would consider a good solution.
Speaking as a software developer in real life ... I would gone for local storage with IG access.

Why are the Jinda caves not spawning Jindas anymore? It spawns one time at startup? Why dont you people have the common decency to tell your customers when you change things? Are you too retarded to list out your software changes on paper? Or are you people so stupid you change the code with out even making note of what you changed? I pay money every month and we all deserve alot better comunication around here. If I was your boss Idfire the person in charge of comunication.
I like the Jinda caves it was fun now youve ruined that as well.

I can't understand the need to see stuff in combat que, well I can and can't! The reason /healdamage was put there, I believe, is so people can see when their heal is due, before it was added people referred to it as "heal lag" I figured out LONG before it was put in combat que that it was stacked with your specails, should you feel the need to swap weapons, heal, eat, drink or Jack up (spices 
) simply clear the combat que and do the desired command. So easy its painful

Oh good. It's not just me. The very first post was about the shadowed fonts, and I see page 10 here still has more comments about it.
Login. Instant headache.
This was a bad idea that needs to be undone. Please. At the very least a toggle if you're in love with the shadows. Of all the stuf, this actually makes the game unplayable.

Well speaking as an Exchange admin I find funny users always whine about space on the email servers! LOL! I think your newsletter is worthwhile, but I am not convinced that they have really done much harm in placing this limit. I had a lot of old emails stored in my account that I was too lazy to delete. I don't blame them for wanting to free up some resources for other things.

i agree, but my reason for having wound healing and buffs in que is for making it simpler to buff and heal. Right now if you spam the buff commands you get the "You must wait before you can heal more damage..." message. But if they were put in the combat que and timed, then I could click on a player, hit all 6 buff commands and see them listed and execute in the right time.
Does this make me a lazy person? no, besides having these in the combat que doesn't hurt anyone since last I saw, players don't buff in the middle of combat, although next phase at the village could turn that around a little...

Not sure where to post this but ... for everyone who used /mailSave to save off your email in prep for the mail purge ....
I wrote a quick lil' .mail file browser. It will let you browse all those mail files in a email-like interface. If you would like you can download it at PerfectionCity.com
This is an early version, I hope to release a more full featured one sometime in the future, but given the recent email purge I thought I'd toss this up.

The change to the font used for chat and object to introduce a shadow is causing problems for myself with inducing vision problems which are resulting in migraines. Please either turn it off or provide an option to turn off the shadows. The previous font up until this patch was much more eye friendly.
Agree!!! This font killed me yesterday. We need a way to turn it off please.

"Where is the thread for the feedback on Pubish 10?"
They put it in the Archive section. I guess it is a creative way to handle
Public Relations!
Now, after making Jedi FS xps almost impossible to get, they removed
all my loot spots. Jantas, Weapon Dev on naboo, Talus, Rori, all caves
are empty; or in the case ot the Tortons cave, they removed all the loot boxes.

Problem: This publish "broke" my launchpad...simply put I had to reinstall the game, and it is still simply stauling on the downloads...not estimated download time...it just sits there...looking like a Dev...4 hours and counting...and stillnothing...every trick in the book I know, for every other damn publish/update the Devs have sent to live....
Problem: Every problem reported on the Update, and Publish 10....has either been an "oops" statement...or an "not assigned statement"...How about this for a solution....ASSIGN THEM.
Problem: Alleged Combat Revamp "Documents" slated to be released 2 WEEKS ago, have still not been made public. Solution: Get off your ass and do your job.
Your game is sinking...we the customer base are getting more p i ss ed with every publish, every update and every single problem you, The Dev team, ignore, or have not gotten around to "assigning"...how many people will be here for JTL...do you think? And don't kid yourself, you asses should have included this at LAUNCH...what kind of SPACE game, has no SPACE content?? That is just truly sad.
If JTL is s h i t, I am gone. And will use the most powerful form of advertisement to ensure this game tanks, word of mouth.
I am immensely frustrated. Where is the Star Wars? Save your BS answers for someone else. My Post offensive to you? I don't give a sh it. For you don't give ash itabout us. And no BS, but we do care post will change that...your ACTIONS speak louder than your lies.
