I've seen enough supposedly real "info" on a lot of things in SWG that I don't believe ANYTHING I hear until I see it posted by a Dev (and maybe not even then).


Word to the wise: Don't believe everything you read.




I know what you mean. Unless its something bad I won't believe it until its in game. For some reason, I can swallow bad news easier.

If TH is so busy I wish he'd just authorize Drashk to tell us.

Speaking of Drashk, is he around? Drashk? Can you give us an update on TH getting us our update?

I noticed a lot of Droid Engineers are Engineers, System Administrators or programmers in RL.

I work in a medical laboratory schlepping bone marrows and talking to nasty pathologists all day.... I'd never play a doctor in this game (Sorry sir, it's terminal... send your checks to CF Industries).

Ah there lies the true answer why DEs not getting LUV. You hit it man. DE are RL Engineers/LAN Admins/SysAdmin/etc.


And what group, besides clients, are our biggest problem? DEVELOPERS! They can't code so they blame the network. Ahhhh, it is all coming together now......

I'm typing this on my Fluke Networks Optiview Integrated Network Analyzer. A tablet PC like sniffer/packet generator/cable tester/general geeky box.

For me the multimeter is more of a toy/component checker than anything else. I'm no EE, just a hobbyist who occasionally needs to do things like look for impedence spikes in a speaker, or verify function in that home-made Flight Simulator throttle assembly I'm planning.



Taking a well-deserved vacation from his successful Droid Engineering business, Master Rho can be found puttering around the galaxy.
