Thunderheart, you still haven't answered about where the Pub 9 unlockers stand in the "Waiting for the Old Man" Line. We unlocked and jumped through all the hoops. I recall you saying that "Yes you can still unlock the old way between, pub 9 and 10." We did that and we have been waiting and waiting and waiting. Now, Pub 10 is here, and we have to wait some more. Pub 9 Unlockers regardless of how many professions they mastered should be the first people into the villiage. They get to bypass the quest phases, buy up their 24 skill boxes and move right on to the Exit quest. How is this such a problem?

This is classic "bait and switch". I cannot believe you are screwing so many of the Pub 9 unlockers over like this. Are you guys really this disconnected from your customers and fans? I'm completely in awe over some of the decisions you guys are making over there.

So, massive hologrinders first... that's fair. But are we talking "wait until Phase 2 of the village before Group 1 gets the visit", or "wait until traffic dies down, and Phase 1 of the village is still active, and Group 1 gets the visit"?

Anyone with registered 2003 HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE PISSED OFF

I've been playing the game since Sept 2003. And I am telling you the same thing: Just play the game.

I did some Profession Grinding.

Now I know I qualify and I'm happy with it. I know at some point the old dude will come see me.

How many FS branches I'll get? To be honest, I hope none. I want to do the quests. It's what a RPG game is all about. I'm glad I didn't grind the crafting professions. Before clicking for hours, using a Crafting macro is really boring and is far away a RPG game.

I am seeing all the whiners right now. Who are they? Most of them are those who did 2 basillions professions and got cramps in there wrists. But think about it, did you enjoy that grinding? A RPG game is all about quests and having fun. Now you get the chance to do more quests, more content in the game and you are still Whining? Please stop those threat of cancelling and do it! That means less whiners and less lag on the servers.

I am probably the only one in all 20 pages of whining to say: Thanks Devs to give us more content in the game!

PLEASE HURRY UP AND CANCEL YOU STUPID JEDI WANNABEES LOL

TH,

I've been logging into look for adhesives for the past month. That's all I have to do in this game until JTL. I'm a veteran. I've done everything. I'm getting so bored. Nothing in this patch is cool except the Jedi stuff. I'm glowing with the force. I did 15 profs, and had a silent holo. I want to start the village. That's what the publish is all about,and now I have to wait for that?? We should be told how long we have to wait. A week? 2 weeks? Why were we not told that it was going to be like this yesterday? Or the day before even?? You get us pumped up and snatch it away. It looks like the game is pointless to play until JTL.

When the village was in Concept oh so long ago we told you to make the village instanced! At all costs make the thing instanced, but you didn't. We knew it would be a problem with population. We knew all this stuff would be a problem, but you ignored us apparently. And you're not keeping us in the loop when it comes to these decisions. Why? Is it impossible to make it instanced? Because if it's not, how you could pick gating people and using a take a number system to let people in is beyond me. Big mess up. I'm sorry.

/sigh

-zooey

------------------------------------

Couldn't say it better myself. I have done the same thing, 5 holos with a silent, 15 profs total. My char is glowing. NO OLD MAN IN SIGHT. As a DAY 1(2) veteran there is ZERO motivation for me to play this game anymore. I have explored everything, done it all. New Jedi system and JTL are the only reasons I haven't followed all my friends in quitting. TH, you're all cloak and dagger with the hidden prof stuff. Is that because ppl like me who have under 20 prof only achieved 1 in your messed up system and will no doubt be furious? Let us know! 32 prfs = 8. 25-29 = 7 15 profs = 5 etc. All I know is if JTL wasn't coming...I wouldn't wait for weeks to get into the village. JTL had better kick serious butt.

And of course, you're aware that you've just rewarded those that violated their EULA by running 3rd-party software to conduct their grinds for them.

Well you just lost another account with me. I too will seek legal council on a lawsuit involving the promises to make and play as a jedi.

If anyone is starting a class action lawsuit please contact me I am intrested in joining.

As for SOE i will be submitting a deatailed written complant. with various encountered bugs and non caring CSRS.

What will happen if you still grind out skills?

What will happen to those who join as of today.. compared to those that have paid for the past year?

I am sadly dissapointed with the level of service and new game design here.

You should have let the players know of this change before it happened.

way to ruin a great concept.
