What's the over/under on how long it'll take them to lock down the boards again considering this post?
Hey geniuses.. for every 5 12 year olds that downloaded the trial, there were 30 current players that got a trial account to farm paintings and other rare loot drops with alt characters. Your numbers are skewed.
If you think that you can just rinse out your old playerbase and drop all the noobs in from the two-month trial, I don't think that dog hunts.
TH, how much did they have to pay you to take that job when your first official act in the position was to deliver this big honkin **EDIT**burger to the entire playerbase? I hope the boys in Japan sent you one of those hot 60" Ub4rWEGA TV's, cause they sure set you up to fail miserably.. they should at least give you the booby prize and say thanks for playing..
Props to Q-3PO for knowing when to jump off the Titanic so it didn't pull him under with the undertow.

I am sorry i could only read through the first eight pages. I feal so good now knowing that I am not the only one that is going. I can see the bright side. A third of the game population leaves on this alone, and the slow decay kicks up a notch. The kids go back to school, and by the time jtl even shows up the game may be under 100,000 players. Sony sells ten thousand copies, and spends more money getting back the ones that did not sell. The game spirals into oblvion angering many players. Who in turn never return to sony online products. Sony will then be in the drivers seat of maybe fifth or sixth in the industry. The gameing industry they need, because console gameing is like the dodo. Doomed to extinction.
Way to go devs. You must really hate this industry, because once you run this game into the ground. You will be on the cursed black book, of people that will cost you money.
Excuse me but I have two accounts to cancel, and I need o be able to shove all their stuff in a bank box. Since I have no clue when or if I will come back. The magic eight ball says chances are slim.
I just fealt a great disturbance in the force its as if 50 thousand voices cried out for blood, and just as quickly hit the cancel subscription Icon. I fear something terrrible has happened.
Even if I wanted to stay I must face the facts that you chased everyone off.

um...my suggestion to everyone that isnt working on this game is this:
shut the hell up and letsony do what they need to do. if you had all shut up and not whined about your respective professions over time to begin with, things would not be that out of whack to begin with. if you dont want to play, for the love of god leave. if your subscription is paid up through december, too bad...you arent happy, you plan on leaving, get it over with so the rest of the world can focus on the future and not hundreds and thousands of posts with nothing but whining, protesting, petitions, and just general trash. if you play on bloodfin, and took part in that little show in corellia the other day, i really wish sony would just get up and permaban you. disrupting service for others because you cant get what you want doesnt solve anything, and you idiots do that in corellia so often to begin with, it can hardly be considered a protest. "hell guys, we are pissed! lets protest this...lets do what we did 6 days ago in corellia!!!!"
get a grip on yourself kids.
have a great day !

So what will happen between the Jedi Trials (Publish 10, AUGUST) and JTL (Late OCTOBER)? "Integrating the ground game with space." What major changes are in store for us during the 2 months between these events?
Quote from TH:
The development cycle still has momentum and we still have some other important items, big and small, coming out of the pipeline.Here is what still lies ahead:
Before publish 10, we plan on launching the character transfer system
In Publish 9.2 We’re publishing Wookiee armor sets #2 and #3, new crafting quests and the second swoop race
Publish 9.3 will bring us the third swoop race
Publish 10 will be the Jedi Trials.This will be the new gateway to the Jedi profession that will by a mysterious path to unlocking Force sensitivity.
Publish 10.1 is going to bring us an exciting surprise and also a list of Correspondent requests
Publish 10.2 is focused on the entertainers which features a unique new game experience where entertainers, Dancers and Musicians can perform for an NPC audience for the reward of a new song and dance.
Publish 10 is slated for the end of August, but one of the reasons for these delays is to make as much room as possible for extra implementation and testing time.
I am continually amazed at the capacity for the development team to focus on adding frills and"sub-content" when the core game is in such dire shape. I am NOT surprised in the slightest that the "character transfer system" is getting top billing... SOE loves their revenue streams.Too badit'll be offset bycancelled accounts.

That is grossly unacceptable and intolerable.

Yep. I sure hope you have played longer than your forum registration date. Otherwise, you really have no concept of what the rest of us have been through since beta 3.

I'm sorry. I was a bit confused by the fact that you have the mannerisms of a selfish four-year-old. For someone who runs a guild, and has done so since "second week", you don't seem to have a lot of respect for the complaints and well-being of the gamers around you.
We have valid complaints. GO. **edit**. YOURSELF.
