Look for it soon on these servers. January was our deadline for servers down. Think it will last much longer?
I wouldnt bet on it. A small reprieve to try the new revamp doesnt get them much.
Pre-CU would.
SOE screwed up, not the devs. Devs can only do what they are paid to do.... by the salemen.

They probably realized that the Japanese were far to intelligent to play a dumbed down childish version of Star Wars known as the NGE.

Forgot number 3) The Japanese gaming community no doubt has higher standards when it comes to computer games. No doubt as soon as they played for a week with a bug filled non customer service unbalanced MMO they hit the /cancel.

You can say that again. I played a game called "Nobunaga no Yabou" (Nobunaga's Ambition)... it was simply the most awesome mmo I have ever played, second only to SWG pre-cu.

Hmmm...
Supposably the Developers added a group nerf to them. Because originaly the group could goto 20. But they made it to 8. So theJapanessefelt that having 8 people in a group destroyed their gameplay. Its really stupid, it doesnt matter though. Online games here and there are totaly different. Guildwars was a huge seller in the US, but a horrible downfall in Japan. So....you do the math. Japan have alot of MMOs and get cool stuff before we ever do

Not so different. When groups changed from 20 to 8 here many left our servers too.
The CU killed this game and the snowball effect is still going.
