Howdy ho !
I don't if someone did already suggest this, but it will be very fun to add for the spices that are drugs like some new visual effect after eating those like : on screen vision trouble, psychedelic colors, or maybe tiny jumping pink durni all over your screens....

People already dont use spices, because they don't even compete with chef foods. Why would we make the spices even less useable?

Just for fun of course ! You have to realize that there will be always prefered spices, as cheff food.... All the chef food are not used bye players, so if we want all spices to be sell, we have to find some other kind of use for it. You have HAM temporarly improvment (see Muon gold or neutron pixies), maybe poison resist or skills enhancment, but JUST FOR FUN will also be great....

Spice isalready synonimous with drugs. SOE don't want to be seen to be condoning drug use, hence spice usage is not very desirable; the benefits are too low compared to buffs and the penalties too severe. SOE will be trying to distance spice from drugs and we should do the same. (Last thing we want is some concerned parent looking over little johny's shoulder to see him experiment with virtual drugs, even worse if he should then find some chong in his school satchel, remember the fuss kicked up about GTA or Manhunter, they were aimed at adults,the Daily Mail would have af*king field day)
I mean, if you think about it, what else could a Doctor's buff be other than some kind of performance enhancing drug? Yet spices are some how seen as dirty and scuzzy.
We need a spice that will give a similar buff to doctors, but with out the severe withdrawl. All be it with a much shorter duration. This can be marketed as a practicalshort term buff to get you out of shtick. Say you getPVP'd by some uber buffedl33t when you're not buffed yourself. Or when you don't want towait in a quefor five minutes andfork out 15K for 3 hours, when your only on line for one hour..

I understand, and you're right, all spices are not drugs like, but some are, regarding to the star wars films and univers...

Definitely true, buffs are the amphetamines of this game, without the side-effects. Wasn't it JFK who had his own "Dr. Feelgood"? "I'll have a buff and some schizophrenia, please".
People who use that stuff is so f.ucked up. In my eyes doctor buffs are even worse. When I think of a DOCTOR I immediately think about SYRINGES...
But SW spices are nothing like this at all if you actually READ about them. They are more esoteric than anything else, rather jedi'ish in many ways (and probably ripped from Dune). It would be impossible to implement the already known SW spices into SWG because they make you see into the future etc.
THAT wasn't the original intention with his post. He wanted FUN. And I totally agree! Don't forget to have fun, fellow smugglers. Personally I have dreamt of a spice that would give you a "predator"-vision during night-time! Would'nt that be fun?

Hell why make them have a stat bonus at all.
Why not just have the halucinagenic durnis.
Even better they could be a sporific, and suddenly your character falls asleep for 2 hours and you cant control him.

I also want to see new downers effects Caylin, but what i'm talking about is, on top of these new downer effects, a new aim for spices, cause if all thespices have the same aims (as boost the HAM) we will sell and our customers will use only 2 or 3 kind of spice, as Muon and Neutron.... Then a lot of spices will be forget, and the time spent by dev for creating thesespice will be lost....
Don't forget that SWG is not only a question of combat and roxxor world, some players want to use items for some else than combat... WE WANT FUN ! and there are more that combat that are fun 
u see?
u see?

As far as SOE, they have a whole *skill* centered on drinking alcohol in Everquest. I don't think they are ones to talk
