Alright,
its 07.51am here in Sweden and this is official the worst day of the year 
For the first time since I bought the game I'm in serious doubt. I've always supported the Devs and said that it takes time to develop a MMORPG... but this isn't right! Pushing the Combat rebalance, the most important thing ever in SWG, back further BEHIND JTL, who we all know will be out next year. I very much doubt it will be out this year.
What are the devs planning? Are they playing cellphone games all days? What on earth is taking so freaking long time. They have done nothing but collecting lists since januari.
On the other hand its common buisness that softwares gets pushed back. It does take time to create time. But when are they gonna learn!
SOE need to hire A LOT of more people and get in some good management guys 'cause the current one isn't doing a great job.
So many things have been pushed back so many times. Important things aren't working. I fully understand if people are cancelling there accounts. I probably won't do it but for the first time I'm in consideration.
My hope now lies in the small patches with balances. My current profession, BH, and my favorite Commando could use use some love. I realy hope this can happen in some small patches.
A little time line: Publish 10 will be out in late august and JTL beta will start in late september andJTL wil be out in januari 2005. Combat rebalance in april 2005. Its here you read it.

SOE, it's time to fire some management, as this is yet another let down. Agreed that DEVs work hard and you can't do everything at the same time or everything turns out like caropla. Who is responsible for this mess? Responsible = Able to Respond. As as a paying subscriber since launch, I am requesting a management response, if it's TH's response, and he is responsible, then he needs to go. Bring in new management that can get things done, not over promise and underdeliver, this has been tolerated long enough. Enough is enough. The 99% of the player community want to know why you are catering to the 1%.

yes but the swg devs are not, we leave = no cash for them.. at least thats how id assume it would work, but then these guys would prolly just get transfered to eq2 and suck that up too

Thank you so much TH I can't wait for JTL, Publish 10 and the rest. I know these are tough times for everyone and changing, fixing, and improving the game just doesn't come at the snap of your finguers. I personaly feel if there is anything to be disheartened about it is the way the community is acting. I know GWC publish and Combat Revamp is importent and I know thatthe communitypay-per-play just as I do. However I also know the Dev's are human trying their best and despite what you think actually care about the game and the community! Dev's take your time; SWG and the community will survive and once this is all over and were down loading the publishes that have been carefully and thoughtfully put together we will all be much more happy and this forgotten. Hang in there Devs your doing a great job and theres a lot more of us that support you then you might think. So don't be stupid, enjoy what you have right now, wait for the fixes, and help out the Devs make a better game for both them and us.
Lemme guess, your a Jedi....
Nope I am not a Jedi, I am not a billioneer and not some L33T power gamer. In fact I and a steady role player and I refused to do any of the Holo profs. Why? Becuse Squad Leader and Commando are things I enjoy doing most! Thats right GWC Publish and SL Revamp effects me A LOT too but I can wait it out. I was hoping to get Jedi someday, but gave up when I found out what it took. Now with this I can role play my character and maybe become a Jedi in a fun quest filled adventure. No I don't like there being 10000 Jedis every where and I don't like the GWC war up to par but you know what I've had to deal with worse and I'm just glad I have SWG to play its a lot better then nothing! ALso I know how to make the best out of this and you should too!

Stale bread and water are better than nothing...but why eat them when a big steak with mashed taters and vegesis available. You should never settle on a game and try to make it work for you. It either does or does not. Brb I'm checking the World of Warcraft beta site again. WoW = Steak. SWG = stale bread and water for those that dont understand metaphors

Once again you have dropped the ball.
It was a total let down to the game when Jedi was introduced before the GCW even functioned. It got even worse when you gave away holocrons and let everyone know that destroying their characters and grinding professions was the only way to be "uber" in the game.
This destroyed the economy for all of us REAL players. It has slowly split the game in half and has become nothing but a game of "I wanna be a Jedi".
The last grain of hope that anyone had left was that after "publish 10: we love the jedi and hate you other 32 professions" was going to be a total fix of the GCW at the very least. Afterall, this IS Starwars Galaxies: An Empire Divided right?
Isn't the point of the game the GCW? More than 12 months after the release of the game, there's still no GCW.
It's obvious that Sony simply cares about sales and not monthly customers. Congrats on your "promotion" TH, you get to be behind the wheel for the final deathblow of this game.
Goodbye, I'm taking my $30 a month elsewhere.
