Thread: Please read this! I thin it's the only way to stop old costumers to leave!
I am just back from my CU hiatus, so I will comment. The Post-CU game is a shell compared to the Pre-CU game. the Pre-CU game had lots of depth and complexity. It tooks months to learn how to use you skills, of which you had many. It took time to acquire CAs, good weps, find a good chef, etc. All mobs weredifferent and required a different apporach to kill. Grouping existed,so the CU did not add that, it just made it a must.All the Pre-CU subtltiesadded to the games complexity and made it more enjoyable for usolder people. I have said all along thast the intent of the CU was to make the game easier to play so that more kids would take it up. What SOE failed to realize is that it would also make all the adults leave. I'm back for a while, just becase I can once again play/grind my Jedi. I suspect I will not play the game as much or for too much longer. And I have no intention of playing my chef alt anymore (too much work). I don't even know what to do withmy Jedi Alt. Pre-Cu, I was making him into a TKM/Ranger so that he could hunt for my chef. Now, I don't know what to do with him. And it is almost depressing to run around and see no one anywhere. I remember the time when lag was so bad I logged LOL. Now, it seems like a Ghost Galaxy.
Anyway, I am not crying for a rollback to the pre-cu game. That would be a waste of breath and time. It is not going to happen. This is SWG now and it will be until they change it again or everyone leaves. This game is what, almost 3 years old? Maybe it's time for something new anyway.
JMO,
They've already gotten at least a 2 years subscription from you.
They want new people and in 2 years if the game is still around they will want more new people and won't care when those new older players leave.

Hello all!
I've been getting about 10mails inone month that a friend is leaving.I really hate those Mails, cos it makes me sad all the time I get one of these.
This is not a whine/cry or whatever you call it, this is a way how we stop older players to leave the game/cancel their accounts.
I would like to tell you that many people want the old system back (pre-CU). I want itback as well, but thats not what I wanna tell in here.
Many people who want the old system back, want at least bugs fixedin the CU.
Sooooo SOE either fix the Combat Upgrade or get the old system back!
Now I want to know, what are you thinking about fixing Bugs and/or get the old system back.
But keep in mind, don't speak about Jedis are underpowered, I think so as well, but thats another topic!
Thanks and I hope WE can stop people from leaving this game!
Hmmm.... yes, SOE doesn't care if older costumer leave, that really makes me sad, but if the older guys stay and new come, they would make huge profit, I don't see the sense in that; why make older costumer leave and get new? Wouldn't itdomore sense to make older costumers stay and get new costumers?
I think it would do, because then they would make more money than they aremaking right now!
Can anyone else tell me why they want old costumers to leave and new to come? That's less profit.

Go! Stop griping. We dont care. It will get fixed eventually. The old system is dead. Move on, nothing to see here.
thats the attitude of an ebay character that knows nothing of how much better pre cu was... We wanted the bugs fixed from pre cu instead to change the whole game around making it easy on u "noobs" ( new ppl who started after CU started) who get cl 80 and can survive... Pre cu offered that when u were a full template.. there was still room to get better.. DWB was a challenge(still is sorta) the geo cave was good WS loot but now.. its crap. something to think about.
pre cu made swg unique and now with CU in effect its generic .. Dot wars were so fun and werent just for the rich.. anyone can loot a good dot weapon from high lvl npcs but dot weps are gone too.. shame ...

My guess is that older players have played the game and have done mostly everything so there's really no guaruntee that they will stay another 2 years or more.
With new players it would be easier to get them to stay around for 2 years than it would be to keep an old player around for an extra 2 years.

ebay? Im still trying to grind FS xp. hahah. That is funny. I said does it really matter whether people leave? NO, so stop griping. I already posted on this... I dont understand why people stay if they are not happy. The fact is, the game will always have bugs..... ESPECIALLY in PVP. PVP is the thorn in any mmo. It will never be balanced. Ever.
Pre-CU is a dead system that was going no where. The CU has brought more to the game, and there are many good things still to come. Devs are really bustin their butts to get this game working good. It just takes time. It is only just now 2. EQ was 5 yr's old before it was really running smooth.

I have a question to you: If it really doesn't matter if people leave, the Gameplay willbe rubbishand I don't think you want to do the Geo or DWB alone, because all your friends left, sooo pls, shut up, this is the future of SWG and not something like a Kindergarten!
