Smuggler Archive

First off, this might seem odd - but if you know Phoenix Orion, then you know me. This is my alt account, and my main was wrongfully banned from these forums. That was of course, the last straw among many. Caylin leaving and post-publish 10 bugs being the others. I just feel like there is nothing more for me in this game.

So either November or December, I will be canceling both of my SWG accounts. Phoenix I have been in this game since Beta 3 with. Master Smuggler since late August of 2003. Zarrn I got in January 2004 to become either a Jedi or if that didn't pan out, a Bounty Hunter.

I've enjoyed my time in these forums, and I could not ask for a better bunch of Smugglers to be a part of. We've all been thru much, and not really gotten much in return.

I'd stay on for JTL, but after participating in the beta for it all I can say is it really won't make my gameplay in this game any more fun.

So, /salute to all and /secretsmugglerhandshake.

It's been a blast!

SWG will be less one Master Smuggler in T-Minus 30 days.

What did you do to get banned? Not to take sides but if you got banned it's probably your fault, right?

B'en F'olds of Naritus
Master Smuggler & Master Pistoleer (and just enough Medic to stay alive)

Thanks for the one star. Looks like you did deserve what you got.

So many one-stars...

:dons the mask of the five-star ninja:

AWAY!!

EDIT: Sorry to see ya go, yer inflammatory posts always added a little extra flavor to things, even if it did eventually get ya banned

26 August 2003 - Devs make their first detailed promise to overhaul the Smuggler profession.

27 September 2004 (03:10 PM) - Smuggler_Caylin tells fellow smugglers that he is stepping down as Smuggler Correspondent.

23 November 2004 - PillowTech switches to World of Warcraft.

I actually didn't one-star you - so yeah.

As for my stuff - most of my smuggling tools, factories and resources will be going to Maguinus of PAX Imperius. He's been a longstanding pal, even after I left PAX for Veers. My credits will go to some random person who will use them well or needs them the most. Most of my collected loot will be going to a place that will keep it for display and not auction it off for credits.

As for my characters themselves, I'll be deleting them after I give away all my ingame stuff. I don't have any intentions on coming back. If JTL is any indicator on what the Developers have instore for Smugglers or anybody else for that matter, I highly doubt I'll enjoy anything further. SOE has failed and the final nail has been hammered into the coffin for my opinion on them since EQ.

I might try out World of Warcraft though, I'm not sure yet. It just depends on how much that is a month and if I even like it...

Good Luck out there. Quite possible we meet in WoW, maybe even without noticing.

Theed was a bustling commerce city...people hawked their wares, danced, laughed, dueled, and had a rollicking good time. Cantinas packed with Entertainers of every race, shape and size...along with scoundrels, Stormtroopers, and drunks. People grouped up and stuck together in the wilderness, and you ALWAYS took a Scout or a Ranger with you. We lived our own Star Wars saga. We created our own personas, our own histories, and it all blended into this wonderful, magical experience that I will always remember...

That magic is gone now, but I'd pay 50 bucks a month to have it back.

Editor's Note: The author of the above post has quit giving SOE her money. She suggests you do the same, because this game will never be what you want it to be.

Dang man, sorry to hear that. We have been through a ton here and it's a shame to lose yah.

I have noticed that they have been banning a lot of people. Some with no warning or anything.. luckily some have alts and are able to come back to the forums but it is wierd how it is.

Best of luck Phoenix Orion.

Sorry to see you go. Although I'm not leaving the game, you stated the main reasons I left smuggler. Pistoleer/BH Pistols?DF IV feels sooo good to be an effective fighting character, but it game at a great loss, that of Master Smuggler.
