Whether you like this new CU2 or not, if it means SOE gets twice as many new subscribers as veterans who leave - then its a no-brainer from a financial point of view.
They've already said countless times that pre-CU won't be coming back, so give it a rest already.
Actlually, my friend, you seens the one who dont know how the market works.... There is no SW movies to bring new players, and the new players would have the new system anyway, and this would stop old players to leave.
That happened with DAOC, they lost so many players that they was forced to launch the server with the old system. I am only trying to avoid the massive /quit. Because when they lose so many subscriptions, it will be hard to recover from it.... And the players in here may taste others MMORPG and like it.... If DAOC was forced to do that, and it worked, why to wait everyone cancel it to discover that it was a bad idea?

As sweet as this would be, this was proposed in the original SWG Petition, it did no good just as this will do no good.

There is 2 ways, or do that, or /cancelaccount macro..... I do prefer to fight and have hope that they may change their idea at elst to make a new server. I think, as consumers, we should support this idea, instead of "nah, they will not do that". Lets do our part, lets fight for our consumer right of play a game which we pay for.

During pre cu they were losing accounts constantly. The time during pre cu when this game was really hopping was before the holo grind/buff lines/dot weapons owning everything. Before all that the game was alot better. CU brought the game back to that. Who knows why this is being done instead of adding the end game, which is the gcw. Maybe this is all a hoax 
we can only hope they add jedi councils and a gcw instead of this new revamp.

I'm with ya on it, don't get me wrong I was telling people last night I'd take back Pre CU with the stackers and LS PSGs if I could get Pre CU back. But for this to happy SOE would actually have to listen to their client base and for those of us that have been here for more than 2 years, we know there is about as good of chance of the devil having a snowball fight as that happening.

LMAO...
As a part of a Corporate Development Team, I can tell you that Focus Groups are a joke, since most are made up of people you want to be your customers, not a market mix. This is a well known fault of Focus Groups for the most part. They might have used a large density approach, but I doubt it.
Also, focus groups can't tell you if people stay. Most developers design games and marketing to get you to buy the game, knowing you won't play log. The key to any MMORPG is to keep people playing, not bring them to the game.
We'll see... but if SOE can't keep 50% of us veterans I would bet you that this game will be well on it's way to death in 3 months with SOE introducing gimmick after gimmick to keep people playing. In 6 months the game should be dead. In 1 year, it'll be shut down or in the realm of EQ: No development and little support.

You know, I liked the CU, the end of buff lines and so, but there was a LOT of bad things also, and that I agree (mostly the nerfs). The problem is that the core of game was changed now, not only the combat system. But for sake of gaining money, there would be server pre-CU as well, to the ppl who didnt like the CU. And for SURE a server with this server.
Why didnt they not launch this as Star Wars Galaxies 2? And keep the SWG 1?
