Thread: Please read....
I just got a mail from Xahn....updating us on the current situation regarding our issues...

This is an update on the current state of correspondents and should let you
in on what is happening from your help. You should know me as Xahn from the
boards, I'm currently one of the community representatives for Star Wars
Galaxies. I've been working with our community for about 2 years and 8
months, so I've been there since we've opened the boards.
The reason we opened the correspondent positions up is because we've felt
that we've been failing on getting the major issues for the professions from
the community to the designers. I know at this point it's been somewhat of
a disappointment because you haven't seen any progress. This should be
changing very shortly. Next week you should see a post in your profession
that outlines all the issues you've brought up from your first week (we're
probably only going to get through one list a month) and the answers that
were given from our design meetings with your questions and suggestions.
I want to thank you for putting in all the effort you have so far, and also
for your patience. This has not been easy for you, and we're working as
hard as we can to get the feedback that you deserve. The coming posts
should answer your questions that you've brought up, and they should also
start changes in motion regarding those questions and comments. I can't
promise they will come right away. Some will come quickly, others will have
to take a back seat as we work on our fixes/updates/promised features. At
the least, you'll get the opinion from what the designer of your specific
profession thinks about that issue. I think you'll be very please with this
result.
We've accomplished a lot this week, and I think you're going to be really
pleased with the results. I can't stress to you enough how much we
appreciate your work. Many of these issues would not have been brought to
light without you.
Forgive me for making this somewhat of a form letter, but I've just flown
back from Austin today, and I'm dead tired. I just wanted to update you
guys on what's going on. I figure even though I'm dead, you deserve to know
what's happening and the changes you've started. 
Look for more next
week, I'm going to be compiling the list from the design meetings we've had
into a more postable format and get those out to your boards as soon as I
can.
...sounds interesting

i wonder how many copy pastes he did to all the other forums with this.
Hey, at least its something.
One list a month?
You know what that means, let's compile a HUGE list!!! 
Uhuh...woot!...a huuuuge list....that will be fun getting it together....lol....
J/k......he's for sure right about one thing in my opinion: you guys are doing great work. If you regulary go through the different forums, and read some of the posts, you can imagine that i had some mixed feelings when starting this. But you guys are great: Besides one or two more heated/personal posts, you guys stay objective, subject-related, polite, patient, do lots of testing and aren't asking for the (yes yes...i apologize for the term) "Über"-swordsman......that makes it easier and fun for me working with you. So i would like to take this moment as an opportunity to thank you as well.
Yes...he wrote and apologized for making it somewhat of a form letter...means: this went probably out to every correspondent....at least the ones who didn't get their answers yet. So we do have the right to be careful and maybe not to get too enthusiastic regarding possible changements.
On the other hand i think though that he wouldn't come up with such a strong statement if he wouldn't really have something in his hands. So yes...i think it's good news and if i see you guys getting rewarded for your work by some good feedback and changes next week, i'm a happy swordsman .
Meanwhile, i'm going to use the weekend once more to immerse into the game.
Happy wielding
Gorecki
