People have complained and complained about this just like they did about the CU SOE and LukasArts do not give a crap about not 1 single one of there customers they know darn well that the average 1-15 year old playersw will play the game for 1-2 months then find a new game thats what kids do the want to play the newest thing after they get a taste they are gone. This game will be like the other games they just unplugged in another 6 months watch. All I have to say is Ladies and Gentleman It has been my great honor to spend a good 2 years of my free time playing what was a great game with you all. I realy hope we find another complex game like this used to be and get another great group of guys to talk and have fun with. As for me I took a long break after CU because I did not like it I still dont but this is the last straw for me there is nothing to be said to any of the employees of this stupid company(stupid meaning loosing all the people that you knew would play and pay for this game and inviting the 10 year olds that will pay and abuse and leave the game). I /bow so respectfully to all till we meet again in a new world where the company actually wants or money.
so tru
folks,
Two years ago the CEO of sony announced that all Playstaions will be internet ready and that all future software would be availble for play across the internet. With the hardware upgrades to consoles and some communication software added I am not suprised this is happening. This was done to EQ , I am just suprised that LA allowed this to happen unless the marketing data showed a huge influx of new customers. Since this has already been released to the public ie Walmart and other retailers, this train has left the station and has its own momentum. This is a huge gamble, in essence this preplay for exsisting customers is to see how may they will lose before the xmas rush. By their estimates probably 15% loss anything higher than that and someone will be hunting for a job. Expected playerbase increase 30 to 50% and they have server space.
What Im seeing form the first impressions of the NGE is interesting, there are some serious bugs and they went for a nuclear option, pretty much a redesign to fit the console market. Many years ago some of us old gamers and computer folks , knew this clash would happen, console games are easier to program and will appeal to the younger markets. CBG (computer based games) are hard to code and are alot slower to bring to marget and appeal to a niche. Welcome to the world of the MBA and marketing driven (not markets)products.
The next few weeks will be interesting to see, I love the MBA mentality, MONEY is what everything is about. Funny without a good product how do you expect to do that? back to the chicken and the egg scenario. We will see, we are in a long birthing process at the moment, lets try and be civil....will be interesting to see where SWG is by spring
next year dark and light is out which looks really good and could take much of the markets share of customers
