It turns out that the rumor I posted in the first "Good or Bad news" is turning up to be untrue. Here is the link.

This project always has been a co-op. Lucasarts controlls and owns the content. SOE makes all the little gears go.

Then it must mean LA is pissed with their sr. director. They wouldn't post a job thing unless they meant it, they are too big of a gaming company to be #$%ing around like that. So a new question arises, does this mean better service? he is the director of all things buisness related so do we get better support because Im sorry SOE but you don't communicate with any of your departments no matter what you say. You throw people for a loop like mad.
woot to better service, I say a new petition is in order.

Or possibly, just possibly, this person resigned for better pastures... or was promoted. You jump to too many conclusions young one.

True. It also seems that LA might want a person of their own in on it too, since the job description states that they'll need to be able to relate to an outside source.

What the SOE President said may be biased.
Still we won't know for sure unless it is LA themselves who say that the rumor is false.
But we are left with more unanswered questions.

I'll completely agree with this too. Think about it, if your job was in jeopardy, wouldn't you want to make yourself look good?

If Drama did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him it.

Who could have less credibility on this issue than the head of SOE?
A PR statement from him makes it untrue? There's some guys at Enron who want to promise you that your 401K will never lose value, either.

I dont think LA is dumb enough to just cancel a liscense right after an expansion, they'd loose credibility and a lot of money income. I mean how would you, if you were an outside source think of LA who was in line with swg and have read multiple things about SOE being the number 1 producer of MMO's. It's just plain dumb. I think either they want more representatives of their own or are just cleaning out the system. It could be cycling in a new group for the MMO. If you look under SOE's career page and LA's career page you'd see they are hiring some staff in world building and lots of other areas that make up the basis for a new game. It's not enough jobs offered to start a new game and I haven't heard anything from SOE about a new game so I am guessing it may have to do with a enw expansion..maybe? Maybe LA doesn't like the whole mum-bo jumbo that turned out so far so they plan on having alot of influence. That could explain the SR. Buisness Director. But we will know soon enough I guess.
