I have just witnessed deleting of another thread in CU forums. I read first page, when clicked on the link to the second it said that the thread is deleted.
What the thread was about?
People from different servers were just counting how many people are online in the most popular places on different servers. Shall I add that it was kind of deserted everywhere. With like 5% or less of usuall population for the place/time comparing to original SWG.
I have not seen anything which was against the 'comunity guidelines', People were just counting players in game and stating that their server is dead.
Way to go SOE. Don't you have any more important things to do? Like starting dialog with your player community also known as loyal customers?. Deleting threads in forum will not make reports of your accountants look any better. I'll tell you that. Actually the more threads you delete the worse the accounting reports will be. And no matter how many forum threads you delete the checkbook will still need to be balanced. And it is rather wery likely that it will be balanced by significant reduction of funds available for your salaries. It is time to think about a career change, is it not?
You have commited multiply genocide in Star Wars Galaxies and you know that. Darth Vaider is an innocent baby in comparison with SOE. Your naive attempts to destroy evidence of your crimes is laughable.
You perhaps hope for influx of new players so that you can rip them off too. Go read amazon.com
Since SOE has forced us to beta test their new game. I think it is not that bad and we all should send them invoices for services rendered as beta testers. My rate is 50$/hour. Thank you.
One guy who protested this CU mostrocity in game, was moved to space by SOE as punishment and his character spent there more than 24 hours, maybe he is still there. Note that it was a paying cutomer.
a comment from post above: 'The best part is that CSR's will log onto servers to move disgruntled players into space, but they're non-existant if someone is online and needs assistance.'
Customer relations Nazy/SOE style.
P.S. my character was silenced many times during protests too, luckily not so extreme, not that I care anymore anyway,
I was playing SWG very actively during last 25 days. bought the game on 2nd of April SWG+JTL for about 55 GBP. It was a blast I developed my character from noob to Teras Kasi Master/Master Brawler/Some Doc on the way there I've tried a few more professions such as dancer, musician, marksman, carbiner. All these professions were fun to play. What is more important there was a vibrant community in game. I've got a lot of help from vets. They helped a lot just because I was new to the game. And it was not just advise I've got from vets, they helped with equipment, someone even tipped me 1 million credits in game.
I've got some in game friends and I joined a guild. It fas fun. It was addictive. I felt in love with this game.
What is more important it was fun to communicate with these people and this environment. By 26th of April I developed my character to Force Sensitive level and started the village quests on my way to Jedi.
Effectively they let me play 25 days for my money. Is it not a classic example of bite and switch, glorified by an EULA? BTW they actually have admitted that it is a new game now. After update there is a window popped up saying something like 'Treat it as a new game'. Too bad we do not want a new game.
Everything has changed after the update. EVERYTHING!!!
It was an intelligent game where your success depends on how good you profession development strategy, how u equip yourself and there was a variety of possible approaches to archive your goals. Not anymore. Now it is like a 'watch this icon and push this button' game. No brain required.
Now EVERYTHING depends on on only ONE thing. This is being the magic number above your head. Where it is PVP or PVE if your opponent has larger number he dies, otherwise you die. As simple as that. It is not really important anymore what profession you've got what equipment u have, it all about the magic number above your head. They call it the combat level.
Here is an example. One players is Teras Kasi Master (elite martial arts) + Master Brawler (starting me lee, but still combat prof) + Master Medic (starting doc) + 2 branches of Master Doc. This configuration now has the magic number 65. The opponent will be MasterMedic+MasterDoc+Teras Kasi Master, since Doc now is a combat profession this guy will have magic number 80. And I have tell you that 65 against 80 has no chances whatsoever. He will die in a few seconds without even scratching this new SuperPower.
It is so simple now all you need is two combat elite professions and that it it.
Virtually all professions became kind of the same, not matter what it take as long as you have to elites u r fine in combat.
Every support profession became obsolete overnight. I am even not starting talking about long term effects of this CU on player run in game economy and all the mess ups during conversion which wiped out from player inventories billions of in game credit worth of equipment and supplies.
Too many things to mention, really I did not like anything in this game anymore. The worse change is that all my friends (not a single exception) who were online everyday during last 2 week of my gameplay, they are just not there anymore. And I understand why, I am not there too for the same reason. It is not fun anymore.
about 150 new reviews in last 2 days, mostly extremely negative.
Note, if links to post in forums on sony website are broken it means that SOE has deleted that post. In last 2 days I have witnessed hundreds of great threads which were deleted.

I confirm this. I was not able to create account on the forum when I wanted to complain about this Combat Downgrade.
It is definately very convenient for silencing a part of community. Himler would applauad to this SOE's move.

Please outsource this game in hands of a competent company which knows how to run a MMPRPG.
on the second though point 3 from my to do list for SOE, kind of optional, just being angry.
