They are losing the base. Long term players traded for a revolving door of newb 10 year olds will not work. This game had a secure base pre-cu. Now is has a secure grave.

It wasn't his post duh!
It was an interview with him, posted on an Industry trade site.
An actual press article!
You "post" way too much I think.

Ok. I guess that explanation kindof maybe makes sense. The only major problem that I have though is, you flip flop ALOT about the NGE. You seemed to be so happy with it, then you played it and seemed to hate it, now you like it again? Is this a repeat performance with your views on the CU?
PRO:
* Ican now make myself untouchable to players who's intention is to cause me grief.
* Somefriends who left becouse non-quest grinding are returning.
* Jedi content such as the crystal cave is finally added.
CON:
* The interface sucks.
* There's less character customization than Jedi Knight 1.
* My Medic lost both armor, weapon and expensive equipmentin the conversion.
I translate these pros and cons as follows:
Come 11/15, once I get to level 80 or so I can turn myself blue glowy and chat with friends since the quests end and the game stinks.
How is any of this Star Wars anyway?
It's like hanging out in an old Star Wars movie set. The props are there but that's it.

1st i would like to say i have played ahazi tc. and having played it i hate it.
im sorry to hear that smedley has a real problem with rhetoric coming from the existing playerbase. i thought we were the one paying the bills around here, if not us then who.
no rise in canceled subscriptions? all canceled accounts wont take place til after the 15 th stupid. mine are renewed month to month. i think the need to be renewed "and wont be" arounf the 22nd.
seems like all smedley knows is
1. he hates rhetoric coming from the existing playerbase.
2. there are no rise in canceled accounts.
3. jedi should be free, and weak.

notice the phrase "market opportunity" which = how can we make MORE money even if we have to screw the 100's of thousands of loyal players that made this game? just like we did when we made people buy "the bull$hit of Obi-won" then days later made every item and skill it was tied to usless in the weeks to come....
now they promise another expansion? GCW related... HA! I can already tell you whats coming. the one thing we have asked for since day one and never got. the Hoth system. and they will wave it front of our faces like its gold but in time they will nerf it and it will suck just as every other expansion in the past. dont be blind people... you have been played for almost 3 years now. this isnt Star Wars, its about taking your money nothing more. they will keep lying to you every month as long as they got you hooked. when I think of all the hours I put in skilling up, building CA suits, looking for pearls or rare items it makes me sick. you really think sony cares about any of us? think again.

another side note.... SWG just hit 1 million subscribers a month ago. WOW has over 4 million. and I bet half of the WOW players like myself are big time Star Wars fans. just not blind that SOE screws people over every chance they get.

lol.
SW:G has more like 60-80k subscribers. They've sold 1,000,000 UNITS. UNITS does NOT equal SUBSCRIBERS.

there is a place you can email the writer to give him the truth about the game....I suggest highly that you are upset for him allowing blatent lies to be published about the game and he is perpetuating the lies by not challenging them.

Two words to Mr. Smedley:
SUCK IT!
and if there are 1 million subscribers playing SWG, I'm a Chinese Jet pilot.

I have quite alot of business experience with both game development and corporations, so I am very attuned to what he is saying. I believe he's alot more honest about the changes and underlying reasons than what's normal in this business.

Some of the interview is even positive with regards to the future plans.
The only thing I do notentirely relate tois "There are a lot of different levels within that [profession], so the people who've been [working down the Jedi path] for a long time will be much more powerful than the people just coming up. We're still rewarding people for their loyalty over the years" since you can respec to Jedi after grinding a carbineer in less than 2 weeks.
Bull. You might have once bought a magazine at K-mart about it, but your complete lack of understanding the SWG player base and desire to destroy the game to fit the minority shows the complete opposite of understanding. You see nothing wrong with peoples hard work and effort to reach certain goals in the game to enjoy the opportunities it offered mean nothing. You don't get the impact of changing so much on the game or the people that play it. You understand nothing. I hope you finally get the position of Jedi corrospondent you have always coveted. All the true jedi will be gone, and you can represent the kiddie contingent and finally drive the game into dust.
