Anger Management
PostedFri Apr 29, 2005 2:32 pm
For the sake of this forum, I am going to ask the following:
1) Keep all future rants on the CU in this already well established thread:
http://swgtales.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3993
2) Please don't start new rant threads or or turn this one in to another rant thread.
I know its hard to be positive right now. BELIEVE ME I really do, I feel worse than I thought I could ever feel over a game. But all we can do now is hope that changes come.
The only advice I can offer, is that if you really want to send a message to SOE - don't cancel your account. Rather, cancel your expansion pre-order. The sales of this expansion will reflect the attitude of what is happening in the game 10x more than ranting or being mad. Abrupt cancellations were expected, but a dead expansion? Thats a warning shot.
Most people have to understand that the "devs" did not do this. SOE management and LucasArts did. The devs probably love this game more than anyone of us because they have shed blood sweat and tears for the last 4 years making it. Hate here and hate ont he SOE forums isn't going to work. How do you send your message to the people making the decisions? You have to empower the devs to tell their boses "I told you so." Ganking their cash flow before considering quitting is the only opportune way to keep our community alive and send a clear message.
I said it on Noct chat last night. I love y'all. This is a great gaming community and is one of the best things that has happened to me. Its times like this that define who we are and what we're about. Which is why, as hard as it is - I am going to try my best quit ranting about the CU.
You have the opportunity to change the things without cancelling your account. You can be constructive in voice and vigilant in action. Voice your concerns and wait on the expansion.
