If they were to start up some classic servers, say 2 to start off with,
1, Pre CU
2, Pre NGE
where you could play without the constant nurfs, constant changes, but still get the same content like ROTW and TOOW,
would you pay an extra fee per mth for the privolige.
No SOE have not said a thing about doing this but me and my friends have been thinking about this and think this is something that they could do and we belive people would pay extra to play in an enviroment that they like.
this would mean people that like the NGE or can only play on console pay the standerd fee but the vets that play a game that they love but quit due to changes they cant stand would be able to pay to play how they like to play.
My belief is that this would make SOE more money due to the fact that alot of people would not quit but pay the extra to play on the classic server's, and i can see alot of players that have allready quit the game coming back to a game that they enjoy as it was before they quit.
To me this would be a win win situation for SOE.
Let me know what you think

1) Pre-cu
Answer: Yes, most definatly. I would easily pay $20 for pre-cu SWG service alone. $25 or more for the station pass.

Even if you had a ton of people that signed up for both of those servers it probably wouldn't cover the cost of development and upkeep. What you're saying, and why they won't do it, is because your'e creating 3 completely different instances of swg. Essentially swg1, swg2, and swg3. This leads to having to bring in more staff/devs for the other two instances as making it a side project for the current devs would take away from them ever fixing anything that's broken now.
The best thing to do would be to accept the loss of swg as it is now and wait for SOE to release an SWG 2. Hopefully they will learn from their mistakes, but I doubt it.
***And yes, if they did it, I would cancel all 5 of my accounts and pay the 75 bucks a month for 1 account precu. ***

And as a side note to my previous post: I would do it from a clean slate. Not even asking for a character transfer (Especially now as that would be IMPOSSIBLE). I want just a pre-cu plain new server, with the possibility of gaining jedi. If it was up to me, I would leave it as the hologrind, not the village, as it provides MUCH more content than the village. Grinding 33 professions gives you the chance to enjoy all the professions that SWG has to offer, ontop of making it something new you're grinding each time. The village is just a bunch of drawn out stupid bugged quests that open up the ability of you grinding the same xp over and over and over until you're sick of your current template.

I'd pay for pre-cu, i wouldn't even require any csr's or much future development of that system, except for keeping pre cu server(s) live they could consentrate 100% on NGE and console kids

SOE should release their server code so the community can make their own shard servers.

While this is true, given the amount of people who want a pre-cu environment again, it wouldnt suprise me if they could find a few dollars to hire a dev or two to support us.

that was the other idea we were throwing around but thought SOE would more likely go for this 1

PreCU without hesitation. Getting ganked by TKMs, And Exceptional weapons. Woot!! At least you could die knowing XP didn't matter because your temp actually worked.

Thats not gonna happen, atleast not until SWG is truly canceled, letting someone else set up a pre-cu server would take customers from NGE no matter how different they are, We need our Star wars kicks..
