Goodbye Star Wars Galaxies!


I think I'll just head back to good ol' "Eve-Online: The Second Gensis" better than JTL could ever be!

I have a feeling you may be right in the fact that the old man is not turned on yet. Guessing that today is not counting as day one in the one to three day group. Tomorrow might start the one to three day group allowing current jedi to go through the village today in order to get the quest rewards. It seems fairly assinine to restrict new content to only those people it was not created for on patch day, but I wouldn't doubt it. Then again I wouldn't doubt it is broken either. Haven't heard of a soul seeing the old geezer... really striking me odd that no one has seen it.


Then again maybe the emporer has him in the basement with whips, chains, and hawtpants for the duration of patch day.

So, I did my homework on the TC forums....

Figured I would be "glowy" post pub 10....

Capped all my weapons and combat XP (4 lines worth of 900k ) in prep for the work for my 2nd char slot.....

Waited for Pub 10 to be released........

/che sez I have the inner glow.......

Now I have to wait HOW LONG before the elderly gentleman visits me?????


My question is....how am I going to be REIMBURSED for the LOST TIME I would have had GRINDING weapons and combat XP since I cant get into the village to convert my current caps into FS XP....


Thats just my opinion...and I dont care what you think

the old man is appearing for people that unlocked after publish 9 and do things to get him to spawn (apart from glowing)

jedi are also automatically alowed into the village.


A jedi friend has been and asked and seen


when the rest of us get to see, who knows............ well the devs do but they wont tell us

Has it ever occured to SOE that they should just create a new game with Jedi as a normal profession?


Based on MONTHS of feedback here I'd say it'd be a huge money maker.




Which, let's face it, is why so many people are being asked to wait weeks or months to get what they want: the longer they wait, the more money the pay you.

Now I have to surrender skills to free up points and waste all the time and effort to level up to padawan just to get my extra character. And all that is after I sit around a wait for my chance to et my visit and go to the village (which will probably be more like months instead of the weeks everyone seems to be predicting).
between this and professions that have been broken since day 1 I'm wodering if SWG is really worth my monthly fee anymore."


My thoughts exactly... and I think the answer is 'no, the monthly fee is no longer worth paying'!!!

I am hearing alot of "hologrinder" bashing. I would remind everyone that we were doing what we were told to do to reach jedi. Hologrinding sucked! What sucked even more was that after all the grinding the "game" or rather devs changed their minds about how we were going to do this. I have always felt robbed by this. It was like I " shook" Th's hand in a deal and he/they defaulted. Anyway I think this is the least they can do for me after cheating me so badly. All that being said I am cautiosly optomistic about the new system and hope i get the visit from the old guy soon. I am not giving up yet I love this game( like a crack addict loves crack) unfortunately hehehe. Keep on trying SWG I know you mean well!

You have embarked upon a journey of self discovery. Here you can learn the ways of the Force.

If you do not find what you seek, have patience. Patience is the key to understanding.
You cannot control the way the Force flows, but you cannot forget the other side - the light or dark.

If it's a truth, you cannot tell, if it's a lie, you cannot judge.

All you can gather is your knowledge if you listen to that what your heart tells you. Be enlightened.

I mastered 2 holos before publish 9 and I am ready for the challenge ahead of me. I dont hate SOE or the devs for this publish. I program games for a living and i know what has to compromised, especially for an MMORPG. It is hard to find a system that works. I think we should learn to just play the game and stop whining. It is after all a game, which is meant to be enjoying and fullfilling, even if we have to wait a little longer. I haveplayed sincerelease and waitedlike all the rest.


We cant always get what we want, that is unless you know George Lucas


Remember, soon our time will be upon us and we must be ready for the arduous task at hand. May the force be with all of us.

I think although this game had tons of bugs at release, atleast it was fun then


for every bug they removed they took away a bit of fun.


Instead of fixing fun things that were broken they removed them.....

Instead of fixing things so they could be fun they made them agonizing.....

Instead of fixing professions they promised the combat balance....

Instead of the combat balance they bumped it to make money on an expansion.....


Now where are we?


We are forced to grind because there is nothing else to do...

we can't pvp, no balance......

we can't have a galactic war , no content, too many bugs, removed features.....


Now anyone waiting for the space expansion do you really think its all suddenly going to be cured over night?

Devs what are you doing?

do you intend to piss off the loyal customer base?



FROM THE START jedi should have used this method or one better....


IF YOU WANT TO FIX IT NOW MAKE JEDI A VETERAN REWARD FOR 1 YEAR OF SUBSCRIBING


This new system is unfair for anyone that has been around for the last year


you have broken promises,

you have wasted our time,

and you have wasted my money,



There is NOTHING left to keep anyone in this game for longer than 6 months

i stayed around hoping that it might be fixed.



I guess i was right in a way

JTL won't be laggy because there will be no one left to play it.......



This wasn't my first MMORPG and it won't be my last but i have never played one as bad as this, i guess i got caught in the hype to see the wonderful SWG


Thunderheart its not your fault, this game has been heading down hill and the problem is at the top not with the developers or people like you

This game was released way too early and way too buggy, people just wanted their $$$

i don't know whether to blame SOE or Lucas Arts

I know a dev can't really admit defeat but i can, i'm tired of fighting a warwe can't win.


Cya all its been .... a learning expirience

I'm Out.

I think you win that melon. It may be*exactly* what's happening here. Devs taking a few days and monitoring the load on Dath as the existing Jedi do the quest. Other possibility is that they encountered a last-minute spawn bug w/ the old man and will patch him in with the first hot fix once they've collected enough feedback from the bug threads. Whatever it is... I'm just as sure as you that it's currently not working as intended .
