Publish 1: "Hi-Ho Silver!"
Publish 2: "The Regional Governors now have direct control over their Territories."

Ask SOE to let you hire someone whose responsibility will be this kind of thing, making sure that these web sites are consistent and writing up documentation, in-game and online, for new things. You do a good job, but it should be done by someone you supervise.

I was killed last night by a Rebel npc and my stuff decayed. I was declared overt and was helping a PAmate run some of the Emperor's Retreat missions. So, either I got hosed or the "No Decay" only applies to deaths handed down by other players. I thought it was meant to be this way, but I read somewhere it applied to npc's as well.

U dont get decay form npc's, did u forget to insure your items? if so thats the cause, u still have to insure, but they don't lose their insurance after a death which is good.

So if you are feeling like a little trip down memory lane or need a reminder that the devs are working hard to improve this game (and put dozens of "enhancements" in for every "nerf"), check out the update note archive.

You know Q... the one question that always bothers me is... why do you feel you have to increase the bug count. why not get everything that is bugged as of this min. repaired first, before you move on and create new ones?

If i repaired computers, like you fix this program, id still be on my first machine 8 years ago. and running around in a circle. I cannot see how you can add content and continue 'updating' the system. when you have a hell of alot of bugs that are proabbly causing a majority of your headache. Why not place a patch"after you cleaned up the mess from allll the other bugs" go over it with us and test center to kill the new bugs that show up. Then move on. would make sense to do a publish every other month, that would free up more of the techs to "clean" the program and fine tune it, which in turn would help greatly in adding content.

That way when a buggy new cave comes in you dont have to worry about the other 15 buggy caves you have to fix... as an example. you can solely concentrate on repairing that.. then once it is back to normal operation. THEN create more content ,switch couple of static quest around. add a gun here and there.

Way it looks right now. you have more problems than manpower. This is easily seen thru three simply bugs i been watching two text errors. and one animation problem.. all which could be simply fix in a couple of hours. IF you didnt have to chase everything else in the process. I know you were not taught this style of programming in school. Again. Sony, not the devs. really cut there throat on this game, they could of had millions of subscribers now instead of a couple hundred k. IF they understood how a program works, and IF you and your group Repaired this program way it is suppose to be done.

Too bad the bean counters and the devs simply do not grasp that concept. Now you can never ride the wave you all had to start with.

Now it is like any other mmo save one thing. it really looks alot better. but that soon too, will fall. then your just another vanilla game.

Better luck next time guys. was a tremendous idea, and alot of fun in the beginning.

Ta Ta.

I was just wondering wheres the best place to create a post about in game bugs.
