Julio Torres:

Well, for starters the game has beenKILLED since its launch two years ago and players seem to agree as the game continues to SUCK. I guess when it comes down to it, I would remind some of the former players that Galaxies is the only game in existence that truly follows EQ. you to completely and totally immerse yourselves in the Star Wars universe, fiction, and experience if u r willing to buy every expansion we release. In addition to this, it is aHorrid game thatSells Cause Of The Title STAR WARS.

...yet you still keep paying for it?


Personally I am thoroughly enjoying this game








Then get off the forum and play your stupid game.


IfI had a dime for every SOE brown noser who lingers around the forum than play the damn game they claim they love so much, I'd be fricken rich by now.

Julio Torres:

Well, for starters the game has been vastly improved since its launch two years ago and players seem to agree as the game continues to sell really well (we recently surpassed the 1 million units sold mark),







Typical corporate propaganda bull**edit**. He blatantly failed to mention that despite 1 million SWG games having been sold, there are a whopping 200,000 subscribers playing, which calculates to approximately 800,000 dissatisfied and cancelled subscribers.

Julio Tores is a disaster for SWG....ever since he continually refered to jedi as 'jedis' in a hoc chat I have no use for him...he should not be producing SWG.....Grand Theft Auto......perhaps, BUT NOT SWG



HEY JULIO...TAKE A HIKE LOSER

The DEVs are totally different in EQ2 as opposed to SWG. EQ2 DEVs are more communicative ..they actually post on the boards...for fun!

Gone but not forgotten...


  • Raph Koster

  • Kevin O'hara

  • Gary Gattis

  • Kirk Black

  • Gordon Walton

  • "Vass"

  • Johnathan Hanha

  • "GreenMarine"

... to name but a few. Both Kirk "Runesaber" Black and Gordon "Tyrant" Walton have tons of experience as MMORPG dev's.


Both Gary Gattis and "Vass"disappeared just before the CU disaster - no coinsidence that as I believe they were canned because they were against the whole mess or walked because of the whole mess.


We have no regular "State of the Game" address - JustG used to do that, then Gordon Walton took over. Both are now gone and there is a huge communications vacuum. Oh, I don't mean cutsey stuff like "Tiggs Toon" and "Tiggs Tracker" (both of which I like - go Tiggs!), but I mean real substantal communication telling us where this is all going.


It is my concern that nothing is said because either 1) they have no direction (hard to believe - all joking aside this is a company with a plan) or 2) they know they will lose a ton of subscribers in one go if they spill the beans...

Absolutely true. The difference in the development crews between EQ2 and "Star Warped Galaxzies" is like night and day. You can say what you want about EQ2 but it is what it is and the changes when or if they are implimented are discussed, tested, and for the most part debugged BEFORE they go live. The Devs on EQ2 communicate with the player base and although they too can be "unhelpful" in some instances they are for the most part superior in every way to the chimps running SWG.

The guy who came before Juilo Torres, chap called Haden Blackman, had the same unpleasant task of turd polishing.


Haden Blackman frequently incurred the wrath of the community both before launch and for a time post launch by selling tag-nuts as caviar,until he "disappeared"...


They are spindoctors. Anyone with half a brain who plays their product finds their fictitious interview ramblings hilarious - if you like gallows humour.

ok now its getting ridiculous....


I get told to leave the forums ofa game I pay for and like by some smacktard who hangs around forums for a game he dislikes. There are some truly ridiculous people on this forum. This Wizkid72 guy clearly has nothing better to do with their time other than post about a product they dislike.


FOR THE LAST TIME JUST LEAVE IT ALONE - iF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, HAVE NO HOPE FOR IT, FEEL LET DOWN THEN PUUUH-LEEZE JUST LET IT GO. DO SOMETHING MORE CONSTRUCTIVE WITH YOUR TIME. STOP INSULTING OTHER PLAYERS WHO ENJOY IT.


Iunderstand people complaining about a recent nerf or a new publish or a bug but if you are STILL hanging around these forums 3 months after the point you began to hate this product then there you are a first class loser.


...and yes I will get back to playing.

I'm sorry uh.. I'll go do all the things you like instead with my time..


not =P


mate, in case you haven't notice, alot of people in this post posted something negatively against Julio Torres, and you're the only one who's standing out and telling everyone else to shut up and go away.


does the world suddenly revolve around you or something? seriously, if you don't like what you read, then YOU leave. I'm gonna post on the forum and pray that someday some jackwipe in SOE will wake up and get a clue and give me my game back, and everyone else's too (80% of players in just about every polls, actually).

Apparently Julio Torres is a robot. Thematically speaking, I should call him a droid. I would, but I don't think he knows what that means. Julio Torres is a robot.
