Thread: /salute SpinningCloud;
My daughter would just moon you...
But I'll just say a heart-felt thanks to all of you all for making these years of non-smuggling tollerable.
Wow, the 27th is upon me. A year ago I wouldn't have even considered leaving, I still had trust in SOE that they would make things right for us. I am extremely loyal...until you lie to me.
I promoted this game from Day One has having some of the best sub-systems ever seen in an MMORPG. My wife even remembers me saying that I thought the combination of Sony and LA would produce the best MMORPG made since UO...that was back in alpha when they were describing the player generated missions we WERE going to have. LOL
The character creation is absolutely still the best and the crafting system as well. The player towns and player structures can't be beat. We HAD the most intricate and immersive HAM system going...until CU that is.
But...and SOE and LA you need to pay attention here...a long, term wildly successful, MMORPG needs more than the technically best sub-systems. It needs inspiration and it needs a good partnership between the developers and the players. SWG has neither of these and I'm sad for it.
After two years you SHOULD have had a mature game but instead you have something that looks like it is still thrashing in the birth-canal of early beta. In the two+ years since Live you have only managed to go downhill in customer communication...to the point of actually disrespecting us through your continual neglect.
You lost me Sony and LA...not just in SWG but across the board on ALL your products. If you don't understand why then there truely is NO hope for you or this product.
My fellow Smugglers; I salute you. Those that are leaving I salute you for taking a stand. Those that are staying I salute you for finding, and taking, your enjoyment here despite SOE.
You all have my respect. As I mentioned elsewhere I will be in WoW as 'Spincloud', an elf hunter, on the Shadow Council server. You can also reach me at either [email protected] or [email protected] .
I'll post for these last two days a bit but I'm pretty busy in RL atm...and having fun in WoW...even with its modestly inferior sub-systems.

You can hunt elves? Maybe WoW is the game for me after all.
Goodbye Cloud. You'll be missed.
Take care SC, we'll miss you around here. You were a scoundrel amongst smugglers, and I am proud to have known your presense here.
I hope to see you on CoH, even if it is for me to just try it out and hang with my posse' some more.

He meant that he is a hunter that is also an elf. But if you play a horde character cael, you can kill elves. And if you're undead, you can even eat the bodies.
OK, I may have to reinstall CoH.
Please give me a list of what servers everyone is on. I have a few characters on varioius servers just don't remember which ones atm.
I have a short dumpy gangsta named Pinky Justice on one server that is fun to play.

WOW, very well said
Spinning, I have to say you were a pretty solid character around these parts when I first stopped lurking and started posting. I will admit that you started to get on my nerves there for awhile when it seemed that any hopeful thread would suddenly be hit with one of your downbeat and jaded posts. I was kind of getting tired of having you piss in my corn flakes when I was trying to think positive.
However, as much as it was an annoyance for me, you've earned your right to be a jaded s.o.b. and the forums will be that much poorer without you.
/salute and "Clear Skies" to you Cloud
Just reinstalled CoH (though I must be dain-bramaged to pay for two games)
I have most of my characters on Virtue; Blackened Blue a level 21 scrapper in the style of a huge shade-wearing martial artist and Pinky Justice a level 9 tech blaster.
I do have one of my daughters characters on Pinnacle; Mother Snow a level 4 natural blaster. Maybe I'll play Mother Snow, my daughter has a great design sense. She's filled many servers with characters she plays to about level 4 before designing a new one...LOL.
Anyone know if you can move characters to other servers?
