Star Wars Galaxies

You'd think that players of a  game that is on the brink of death would be more welcoming of other players to help keep it alive.  When it comes to SWG, you'd be very wrong.

What makes me scratch my head is that they tell folks to post here if they want to complain, but then they turn around and post here in an attempt to promote the game.  Do they honestly think they can build such a toxic community and still attract enough new or former players to make the game population viable?

It is almost as amusing as the folks who think the game still has enough players to make an expansion financially viable.  I'm not really sure if I find the folks who believe the scraps they've been fed over the past year (which is much less than other games have gotten for free, such as EQ2 or LotRO, hell, even AoC has seen more new content so far than SWG has in the past year) is equivelant to an expansion.

  I am with you on this Obee, its amazing that the TCG is being added . I have read that a player can spend as much as $900.00 on a block of cards for this game to obtain special Micro advantages in the game.  In comparision , this make Gold farmers look like an honest lot. 

 The  population can not support an expansion and this quick retool of the Norrath card game for SWG is destine to fail.

This is typical Sony: ask for player opinion and tell the players off when they give it too you. It happened with the CU. It happened with the NGE. And it will continue to happen.

The knee-jerk defensive culture is built in to the current SWG community now. Love it and say nothing bad (ie:constructive) or leave.  Honestly, one of my biggest SWG related kicks is reading the Oforums and seeing them complain how low the populations are, then turn around and tell each other to leave if they don't like it.

It's madness! ...and it makes me laugh.

The sad thing is they are paying Sony every month to accomplish what we do for free!

   Oh believe me, I wish I could. I log in and go to the forums and tried to post or reply and can't find any kind of box to click or anything. So I don't know how to post or reply to messages there.

I see Smed's grand plan of bringing in more and more rmt to soe's games has begun.

Aye....nothing like the open hostility the current players have for each other, which is so evident on the O-boards. What a way to attract or retain players. /not

Then you have the few that incessantly come into this forum attacking and reporting vet posters for statements they consider 'offenisve'  - yet, they needen't look further than their own  O-boards.

Yes...it is madness! LOL!
