Thread: Hey Devs! I dare you to give me good reasons to renew my subscription!
Its like most other MMORPGs. You have your RPers, and you have your complete tw*ts. On the server I am currently on (Justice), there is a huge Supergroup (CoH's PA) called "The Core", who are big into RPing. There are many many others.
In fact, I think there is far more RPing in CoH than in SWG. For some reason, playing as a superhero brings out the serious "I'm here to do a job" mindset. I know when I Tank for a mission group, I'm all "Get out and heal yourself! I'll hold them off!"
LOL

I've been loving WoW since I started playing on Tuesday.
Sure, the character creation doesn't compare with SWG and there is no player housing.
BUT, the quest system is great, the leveling is at a nice pace, the teaming is good but solo still quite viable. I love the world and the graphics and...most importantly...I can smuggle as well there as I can here!
I'm not coming back to SWG unless SOE puts in a really FANTASTIC smuggling system...which we all should know by now that they aren't.
SOE, you gave me my reasons to leave;
1. TWO YEARS of neglect,
2. Bait and Switch In Concept threadsthat we participated in for five months without so much as ONE WORD from you,
3. Absolutely the WORST customer service I have yet experienced,
4. An utter lack of respect for you customers.
I really can't see you changing all of that in this lifetime, you simply don't 'get it' SOE.

There are PvP arenas, and when City of Villians is live you will have the option of being a baddie in the same city and you can kill other players.
At least thats as far as I read on the website.
hmm City of Heros... is there any Roleplaying in that game? or is it just a bunch of "1337z0rz" kiddies "pwning" each other?
i checked out EVE online... it's definitely a nice looking game. but there's something about it that doesn't sit well with me. it lacks... soul. it makes me feel cold and unwelcome. if that makes sense haha.
Lots of roleplaying - Le Pamplemousse for example is a big French Canadian that loves wine and poutine - but misses home. He is adored by women - or so he thinks - and is adamant that Pink is the new blue.

I have never noticed a difference from one server to another - but it would seem a lot of us are in Pinnacle.

Same here I was in beta and have been a smuggler on Flurry since the begining. I have waited, patiently, for smugglers to get some sort of revamp. I am tired of paying for nothing. It really makes me mad when I think of all the money I gave SOE for nothing. But that ends today. I am cancelling my account effective immediately and moving on. The only thing I can say is I am wiser. I will never, never get involved with another SOE MMO. Live and learn.

Same here, been here since the original web site went up,and tested in Beta 1, 2, 3. As a huge fan of star wars I was so excite for this game, and being a smuggler was the biggest selling point for me. But 2 years of neglect, bugs and being jercked around I'm done. The non-existant communication with the community and the constiant love for Jedi has become too much. SWG wich is "supposed" to be set after the events of ANH, has been done away with, i.e, the endless EP I, II, III content the endless Jedi, and the star wars canon that got burned long long ago.
I can no longer see any reason to continue to pay for lies and neglect. If the devs want to keep this game alive, and keep a seady cash flow rolling in they have a lot of work ahead of them. I just hope Lucas Arts sees whats going on with this game and change it, for their sake at least. My subscription will be up soon and I really can't see why I should pay for such abuse. I was considering playing EQ2 again, but seeing that SOE has control over taht too I'll drop that subsription too.
