SOE responds to the announcement of Star Wars: The Old Republic

I'm still VERY surprised they they don't regret the CU & NGE so much that they roll the game back, or at least roll a server back so the original 1million+ subscribers can have their fun game back. I'd still play the old SWG for sure. The tiered skill system was amazing, I loved the game.

It's almost disgusting to see how happy they are with what they've destroyed. I'm not sure what world the SWG developers are living in, but it's not the same world as any of the first 1million+ subscribers to their game.

Sad...I still miss SWG. This game is not SWG, not at all.

They can't. Lucasarts won't allow it. With LucasArts being the driving force behind the NGE, SOE doesn't have a choice.

Why do you think StarWars games suck so much? It's because LucasArts thinks that they know better. They are an IP owner and to be honest, they need to let the developer handle their part.

This scenario with TOR _should_ be different because TOR is part of the expanded universe, they are less stringent with expanded universe content. They actually let developers and authors do what they do best...CREATE.
