Thread: Smugglers in SWG History as written by the Devs
As a friend and guildmate of the esteemed EN, I can honostly say he cared deeply for smuggler andthe overall gamein general. Many nights we'd just sit around for hours and talk about the game, it's potential, and the direction it was headed. Being a master pikeman in the early days of the game, I knew of which he spoke when he complained of a profession unfinished and lacking in playability. However, at the very least, pikeman could swing a pike (poorly, mind you, but that's neither here nor there). Smuggler could not smuggle, and there was nothing EN wanted more than functional and meaningful smuggling. He fought, like many of you here, long and hard to bring his vision to reality. Three years later and long after EN departed the fight still continues. Pathetic.
SOE/LA, this game will long be a legacy to your ineptness and total disregard to your customers. I hope any company thinking of doing business with you in any vain will take a long, hard look at the utter mess you have made with this game. You've taken arguably the strongest franchise in this genre, a massive fanbase, and a game with unlimited potential and, with every publish, managed to cram it further and further down into the virtual garbage-bin. Nice job.
My time with this game is at an end as of tonight so I thought I'd give a little shout out (and a bump) to a thread in a forum that meant alot to a friend. You all desrve better than you've received. I'd say keep up the good fight but I see clearly that it's for naught. My advice, if you want it, cut your losses and move on. There is nobody at SOE/LA, from the top down, that gives ad_mn about making this game better. It's taken me nearly three years (Ignore my registration date. This is my alt account. Main expired beginning of the month.) for that to finally sink in. I know that at some level I'll miss it but for me, leaving is my only option. I'd rather look back with fondness than look ahead with despair. Oh, as for EN, he's doing great in RL. I'm just glad he's not here to see how farthis game hasfallen.
Good luck to you all in whatever you choose to do. Well, I guess there is only one thing left to do...
/salute
/beer and pie
For now i just wish you all the best, take care. catch you all in another game someday.
