I can just imagine what happened at SOE when they decided to cancel....



Tiggs: I don't think this chat is a good idea.
TH: Why not?
Tiggs: The Smugglers are really pissed. Do you really want to have a chat about the future of the game now? You know every other question is going to be about Smuggling this and Smuggling that.
TH: Hmm. You have a point there.
Tiggs: And do you really want to tell them they have no future in the game?
TH: Well... I was kinda hoping you'd do it.
Tiggs: I'm not going to do it! Let's get Mikey! He'll post anything!
TH: We can't. We let him go with the rest of the skilled programmers when we hired the Middle School kids to do the coding for the game. They were cheaper than the monkeys.

Hehe

Although seriously, I think that argument "they cancelled because they didn't want to cope with all the hardquestions the smugglers would post" can be extended to pretty much any non-combat profession. You can bet that apart from smugglers this chat would have been overrun by rangers, squad leaders, commandos, entertainers of all sorts, tailors, weapon- and armorsmiths, etc etc.


Would have looked a bit funny to only pick out tame questions about Jedi, BH's and the GCW under these conditions

"Our Wednesday, July 20th SWG House of Commons is cancelled. Apologies from the Developers, but with many of them being on vacation and others putting in extra hours to pick up the work load, they beg our understanding and promise that we will be back on schedule in August."


Aw... too much workload? Maybe SoE should hire another CommunityIgnorence Manager. Must be really hard to ignore all those pesky customers these days. As for schedule, I can only say "soon"TM.

well of course the chat with the topic of "the future of SWG" would be cancelled... you really think this game has a future?

If they think it will quite down here when the big guns leave, they are sadly mistaken. People like me will step in to fill thier place. The only reason im not leaving myself is because of a great guild, and I just couldn't leave them. But if I was still flying solo, thenI wouldn't have stayed this long (especially with the ULTRA lame 2 year vet reward).


Long after people are gone, I'll still be here adding when I can...(which isn't much )


Oh, and get Jolene by Cake.
