As i go to get my finest bottle of wine this evening allow me to show you Exhibit A: Interview (interview with John Smedley about the upcoming Bioware MMO VS SWG) Oh the irony... the feeling of "oh man its over for this game" you can just see coming right of his words. Oh wait... i still need to get the cheese and crackers.. pardon me.. and enjoy this: SWG Forums (Players response to the interview) They don't look too happy. Hmm... Hey JestorRodo! Where are you man? I think its time you ironed out that suit of yours and do another one of your webcasts. In any case. Thoughts? Anyone? |

I can fully understand that a lot of them are pissed and dissapointed. They are adicted to the game much as a lot of us was back in the day. They now face the same situation as we did. The game is going to be taken away from them. To me its just the final and absolute proof that the NGE was the GREATEST mistake in MMO history and nothing good ever came out of it. In the end we all lost. Now our faith is in the hand of Bioware and their devs and producers. Lets just hope they wont make the same mistakes.... |

"Denial does not change reality." |
The playerbase is having heartburn over seeing SWG's sunset on the not-to-far-off TOR horizon and the handful of fanbois are trying to rally the troops - even attacking any and all who read the handwriting on the wall. "I Want to Believe" http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/posts/list.m?topic_id=775398 I do enjoy this classic statement - "Games not dead, everyones just so spread across the servers it makes the game look dead." LOL! Like Duh - all those servers used to be bristling with players. That can join the list of other excuses for why there are so few players to be found.....players are anon, players are in space, etc. The game is considered 'dead' by most since it has less than 20k players, dead servers and is running on Station Pass Life Support, but as long as it is on Life Support with no plug pulling date, the fanbois can cry - "It's Alive!" "There are more players than ever, more joining everyday!" "My server <insert any server name here> has tons of players!" "Its not the NGE anymore!" Sure, as the servers merge, the game may seem more populated when in truth it is not. There wouldn't be free transfers sand the inevitable mergers if that were true. Putting out group intensive content and freebie vet trials without the low population issues being resolved will end up as it alsways done - a very low vet and new player retention rate. Is there really any question what will become of SWG if TOR is even remotely good? |

The saddest thing for the NGE'ers is that once it's gone, it's gone. No one is going to waste time on the NGE-MU. No one will care about it's loss to bother to want it continued. Of course, most of the NGE players are like us, they don't like the game, they prefer the old game but keep playing it because it's their only Star Wars option, the only sci fi game with a ground and space game, etc. All those guys are gone soon as Bioware releases, which is why there is no hope for the NGE post release. The true hardcore "The NGE is the best SWG ever" crowd is a tiny number, probably numbering at most hundreds.

Now Just because Smed mentions the word Sunset , that is not the Official Press release informing the players and the gaming community at large that the NGE if SWG is sunsetting. At that promised time I will be honored to don my purple tux and deliver the Eulogy for the worse mistake ever made in MMO history.

It's Jester Brand with a new secret ingredient: fun. Now let's go to our blind taste test. *Guy tied up and gagged at a computer* Uh oh! He doesn't look very happy. He's been playing the NGE! *Caption: Oh no!* *Moves to a playing a game smiling* But with new Jester/Bioware brand, we get a grin again and again!
