ROFL, just stuck my head into planet chat on one of my Live servers, asked if anyone knew when the servers were getting converted to CU...

"What's the CU?"

"Sometime in May?"

"Not till it comes out of the test centre"


Oh dear.

Ah, see, if only they read the Ranger forum they'd have a clue

Not that I doubt you, Owen, but do you have a priviledged source for this beyond the post by Tiggs? That one is so funky that I have a real hard time convincing myself that it means that the CU *itself* is going live, although parts of it sure seem to suggest that. But if you've heard it from a red name elsewhere, I'd say there's no doubt.

--Edit--
Well, the name ain't red, but I'd say its just as official:

Containing the key quote:
"Combat Upgrade is coming tonight and the next expansion comes along next week"

Umm. Yikes. I'm used to being a paying tester the first month or so of an MMO launch, but the CU code right now has a lot of basic UI stuff that will really p*ss off live players, and could easily be fixed with under a week more of testing (heck, a lot of the UI problems were introduced recently). Well, I'm glad to hear that you correspondents are making a ruckus for us, but please try to make it a ruckus that doesn't get anybody else banned... We really need you guys now.

doesnt take long to work out that anything higher than you kills you and anything lower than you gets killed by you, ah, the fun off a level system and, im not even going to start inon the fact that level based mmorpgs cant have a vibrant player economy!


Isnt it great teh way they have upped the fun and tactics of combat to -

All your servers belong to us!


Guess I'm gonna go take inventory and see what I'll have to report in a few days. Be safe, all.







No! That Can't Be!! THATS IMPOSSIBLE!!! NOOOOO!!!! (Throws self out Cloud City Garbage Chute)



This is a very bad idea on their part, the CU is showing promise but its not ready for Implementaion on live!! A lot of people are going to make quick judgements and leave before they actually make it decent!! I don't want all my friends to leave while I tough it out!!

You know Jasco, that was the very first thing I said when I first ever heard about the combat revamp.

Pushed back 24 hours for all servers.


50 credits says they pull an all nighter, if they haven't already.

"That's no moon," Kenobi breathed softly. "That's the CURB."

"But it's toosoon to be the CURB," Solo objected. "Thebuggynes of it! It can't bethe CURB-- it can't!"

"I have a very strange feeling about this," was Luke's comment.



And the skies went black as the CURB entered the galaxys. Millions tried to fight its bugs, and millions died. When the dark shroud of the CURB vanished, everything was laying in ruins. And above it all, you could hear the evil laughter of the marketing machine, yelling just one word: "PWNED!"
