This is the Jedi boards... CU vs pre-CU discussions belong on the Core Systems board, not here.
And I agree. It's financially impossible to support a pre-cu server, and probably technically impossible as well. Reading 10-20 posts per day about the subject is annoying.
People should spend their energy on buffing the current game instead.
If it is possible have an expansion server and a live server, then it is possible to have a pre-cu and cu servers.

Everyone... Pre-CU is not coming back. I think I can finally understand now that I finally unlocked what the big CU gripe is about, as I'm rather disappointed and feel like I'm trading in my skills that I've had for so long for others that seem to be substandard in comparison and basically a much less fun playstyle.
That however.. is not the fault of the CU. After the CU, there were many nerfs/patches/fixes that were instilled in the game that made it what it is today. However, I believe even without the CU, the development team would have probably come to similar decisions and the same types of nerfs/patches/fixes would have come about anyway.
I was a Master sword/Master doc from the very beginning (when I finally did achieve my masteries). As a non-jedi.. pre-cu stopped being fun after a while. The only thing people miss in all honesty about pre-cu was being uber. If you weren't a jedi or TKM (or maybe fencer) you couldn't cut it in pvp against most of them. Some combat professions didn't even work properly. Ranged professions needed a backup to be viable in anything. As far as PvE, there was only one real way to fight to win and everyone knew how, regardless of what profession you were.
I was actually happy to log in and not see at least half the player population in full 80% composite and carrying a VK, to where you couldn't even tell what someone looked like most of the time. Just a bunch of TKM/something troopers standing in line to get their 12k buff from the infinite number of spamming doctors to go off and solo krayts or romp effortlessly through the geo caves or DWB. To walk into a cantina and not see the same spam from everyone's afk alt musician/dancer to get mind buffs from one out of the 20 sized group of them all spamming for tips.Food did everything that spice could do and better and there were only 3 types even worth using.Everything was the same, over and over. Honestly the entire game world after a while just stopped being what it was and turned just as stagnant as it is now.
The CU changed all that, for a little while. Everything was different. People had to adjust into new roles, and the world had completely changed, in my eyes then, for the better.
The true major problems are the handling of the system's bugs and communication with the players as to what is going on and why it is happening. The CU gave everyone more variety in their characters than has ever been in the game before, as well as got rid of so many things that gave all theplayers the elitist mentality that they had to have to play it. It's the method of "balancing" and fixes that have made things hard on many players, most of which are affected by the backlash of a fix for professions that they are not even playing.
In short, bringing pre-CU back will not change anything. It will only bring back a dead and broken system, that will only be broken more by the same changes. Yes, maybe jedi were better before the CU and more fun. Maybe it's your thing. Maybe for some people, it isn't. But I dont' ever want to go back to that old world again. Bring back some things from it, yes definitely. Bring back everything? Why would you want to do that to someone?
Just my two cents. Please go easy on me

I don't know why everyone assumes that we want Pre-CU back because Jedi was stronger. I could careless if never got another Jedi, but was playing a Pre-CU server.
I was Carbineer, and I could handle myself. I didn't have a legendary or exceptional carbine. Sure, school of hard knocks way of learning in comparison to FOTM.Lots of peoplegaveup on their professions too easily, and whined that FOTMs were too tough...then jumped on that bandwagon. They missed out, I wasn't uber template, weapons, but Igot to experience some very rewarding challenges.

They could use the TC-2 servers, create a different installation folder like toow beta. I would be willing to bet, that server would outlast any post-cu server, even if the pre-cu server never got any updates/fixes.

We just want DEVs to do our demands. Pre-CU is our demand, We're the customers and SOE is the ENTERTAINMENT Company. To chose the funnier system is our right as customers!
