Someone has been asleep for a month!!




Someone wonders that if having stormtroopers spawn in Kor Vella and changing the sky artwork constitutes a "crackdown", that the next "invasion" will be just as low-impact to gameplay.




Oh ok. Well most DE's stopped wondering if stuff would be hight-impact months ago.



Off topic, but anyone ever wonder how big we can build a quote-tree?







If no one minds, maybe we can find out.

Heh.... I don't mind at all





- Account: Master TKA (cancelled)
- Account: Master Doctor (cancelled)
- Account: Smuggler (cancelled)
- Account: Master Chef (cancelled)
- Account: Master Droid Engineer (activity suspended pending developments)
Total loss of annual revenue (SOE): ~$715US to ~$900US
- Bad press: Priceless
Should Sony and Lucas Arts be worried? (15000 users * 5 accts = ~$13MIL in potential lost gross annual revenue) If I were the CEO for either LA or SOE, I would certainly be worried.

I can't even remember now what this post was about. Suppose I should scroll up. Or maybe it's in the tree somewhere.

Nope I've never really wondered how big you can make them. You should see some of the ones the GAT has made. They can pretty much go on forever.

TK you have misspeled your title we should have read : The "Invasion" is in pieces ...




Hawk,

Be nice....okay?


The Devs are not going to be as interested in getting into important discussions on our situation if we berate them over this. Let's try to keep cool.


/bow

Respectfully,








Excuse me, but the developers didn't get into a discussion when we WERE nice. They ignored us. So....


The droid invasion is in pieces.

With all due respect, that was then....this is now. I hope you all understand that.


If you focus on the water that's long since gone under the bridge, it will not allow us to move forward in the best way.

Seriously.


As of late, I've seen a 1000% increase in the amount of positive DE community energy (some behind the scenes, via forum PMs). The result of that was, quite possibly, Runesabre taking a few moments to pop in and respond on the Daker's proposal and letting us know what he could.

(note: That last item....."what he could"......is important, everyone.)


Runesabre appearing today shows that they are not ignoring us, Kilarny. So just chill and be nice. Okay?

And one day they'll make a movie about all this and entitle it "A Droid Too Far". And this movie will run at least An Hour Too Long.
