Hey Dreven, I wish I could give you alot of reason here...


Reasons to Stay:



  • Friends in game and forum.

  • CoH has even less content than SWG.

  • Continued input and viewpoint toward the revamp.

  • Giving me a scapegoat when things go wrong

  • ...

Reasons to go:



  • Too many promises unfulfilled.

  • Little content that holds interest for any length of time.

  • Repetitive combat.

  • Being everyone's **edit** as a smuggler./

  • The jackasses in the game and forum.

  • 14.99 a month for something you don't have fun doing.

Reasons to go for now, and come back later:



  • Friends in game and forum

  • Save some money.

  • Forums are public so you can read changes.

  • You have my email if you need to relay something.

  • Smuggler revamp will be here someday.

  • Expansion could be cool.

...


Well I guess you can decide what is more important to you... Oh and Ata...Dreven has done more for smugglers than most people in this forum probably ever will, keeping him is something I consider high on my list of things to still have around when we go towards this revamp. It is his decision.







Well...Caylin...you've pretty much summed it up better than I could.


As it is, most of the friends I've made in-game, along with the friends I had beforewe started playing,have moved on. You guys on the forums keep me going, but I find myself wondering why I pay $15 / month to be a forum whore...


Anyway. At this point, I'm leaning toward cancelling for now and then returning for P-11.


*shrug*


BTW - Cay...thanks for the words of praise.

Hey bro come to Mos Nihil and hang out with us. Most of us are also pretty frustrated with the game as it is as well, but smuggler revamp aside, it has gotten alot better. Thing is we hang out do hunts raids and oddly enough still have some fun in game. Anyway, stop by or visit our forums anytime just to BS @ www.dominusnihil.com/forums even if you do cancel you can always post there

However, optimism and affordable prices aside, I'm dropping this if the Revamp doesn't satisfy. Bottom line. And I won't be asking for reasons to stay.




Same here!

2.) $15.00 each month equals 50 cents each day. No one has big money to waste, but I can deal with this vice until the revamp comes.

(okay so the daily cup has risen in price since that commercial, but you get me).

Seriously Dreven, all I can say is that I hope you stay. I also hope ElecNomad, Kav, Solo and the others come back. But I do hope you stay, staying is easier then leaving and coming back.

Well...the deed is done.


I could make a list of reasons. But, in the end, it would lookpretty much like the lists of those who bailed before me (nomad, solo, etc.)...


My main issue is the lack of regular communication from the dev team. They only seem to show up after we've had to throw a major fit to get some attention. Then they make a few postings and say, "Ok...yall are good now...we'll talk to you again soon"...then, we don't hear from them again until we make some more racket. I'm sick of the cycle.


Also there's the fact that we have to spoon feed them our ideas. They come and ask for ideas...which we give them. Nice generalized ideas that make perfect sense to us...but they come back and say they're too complicated. So...we dumb down the ideas and explain step-by-step what we want. Then they come back and say "That's great...but...it's too long. We don't have time to go through that." So...we go back to square one...generalized ideas...which brings the devs back saying "We still don't get it...explain it to us again."


Well...after almost a year of this same crap...I'm sick of it.


I'll keep up with reading the forums, and will most likely return to at least try out the revamp for a month or 2. But, right now, I'm having fun with friends in Lineage 2...


So...until P-11...I'll see yall later...

Seriously...that "CANCEL" button is looking really attractive right now...






The possibility that Jump To Lightspeed just might allow for genuine smuggling.


I know, I'm not getting my hopes up either, but man... if it was actually added...

No longer holding out hope, SWG will never be the game we fought so hard for, that we believed so much in. Farewell friends.

Take care, Dreven. Thanks for all your hard work and time put in on this. You will be sorely missed, my friend.
