Anyone who was closely following the developement of the initial release will remember the excerts that the devs would hand pick off the beta forums a couple of weeks before it was released. These were really cool and and i always couldnt wait to glean any info i could about the game from the experiences of the testers. Ok, the devs obviously picked the most favourable stories but at least it gave some food for thought and answered a few questions. My point really is why is everything still so tightlipped with JTL? We have approximately a couple of weeks before its released (barring any major setbacks) and all we're getting is a few pictures on a friday.
I know the nda is essential at the begininning of any beta testing, as it stops incorrect information leaking and prevents people from forming opinions about the unfinished product. But i think it's time they get a bit more generous with some decent info. None of this ' ooh guess what ship the sullustans standing in?' mumbo jumbo. All the ships that are gonna be in, are in, so why not give us the whole list and possibly some of the beta testers stories to keep us happy. Hopefully we'll see less of the 'can i fly a corvette?' and ' i want a space station!' postings. Give us something decent to go on for the next couple of weeks please

This isSOE here, they put SWG out when it wasnt ready. As far as the ground-game is concerned, its just one year long beta test so far.
