[SWG] It's a Trap!

Frax · 04-23-2007, 07:54 AM

...to get you to resubscribe! Anyone else get this this email? First one I've seen like this from any of the old games I've tried and discarded over the years. Granted most games don't have a lot of player built objects in the world. Sign of server consolidations to come?

Sorry about the image, was no text to cut and past really!

That e-mail could say they are going to delete my character and I still would not re-sub

Wait! When did they start having quality in their game service!?!?!?

Kylax · 04-23-2007, 08:01 AM

Incoming server merges.

SWG is the one MMO I've never tried, and I'm a big Star Wars fan.

Akileese · 04-23-2007, 08:30 AM

Threaten to delete people's shit..yeah, that'll work.

Couched in markety-media speech is the following message:

FUCK YOU CASUAL SUBSCRIBER!

What a bunch of dicks. As if this has anything to do with 'quality of service' lol.

Did they trademark the word Force?

Are people reading this and thinking that items will be deleted? I'm reading this and thinking that any item that has been placed inside a house will be picked up and placed in the owner's inventory. Thus nothing will be deleted at all. Then again, I remember SWG back when it was made so you had to pay upkeep on your house/etc. otherwise you'd lose them after a few months to decay. I suppose this system was removed and because of it the world has become overpopulated by trash that nobody uses and it probably needs to be cleaned up.

What's up with that fucking picture? It looks like a Star Wars movie poster, but with some johnny rotten version of luke, Natalie Portman as princess leia, and Hans solo replaced with some weird alien.

No, I understood they were basically going to pack your stuff up and put it into your personal inventory. But the reason behind it can't simply be "Gee we want our servers to run better for our valued customers." I'm pretty sure this game has a very low subscriber base by now..

Not disputing the health of starwars, but it is a kind of good move i'd think. the SWG must be chock full of remnants of old players, and with the turn over rate SWG has had, it must be kind of depressing seeing big empty cities.

Broham · 04-23-2007, 09:16 AM

I got the e-mail too, they're just trying to clean up the world. I'm sure there will be merges inc as mentioned above...not that this should surprise anyone. Most SWG players quit way back when CU or NGE hit, and any stragglers are starting to move towards LOTRO.

They should really just take this game down, it's such a sad reminder of what could have been.
