A Message from the Community Manager

Thankyou Joveth, looks like things are finally heading in the right direction, as you yourself stated actions speak for them selves, this action is a good start and the other posts/activity I have seen recently is encourageing.

Keep it up.

Absolutely.. time to step up to the plate and act for the community your supposed to be supporting.

Right now all I can think of is... hell we need a BRANIGAN - - Some old EU MMO players may well recognise that name and know what efforts that person went to help motivate and turn round a deflated community in another MMO suffering the same ignorance and resentment that is now prevalent in SWTOR.
That person went out and got answers, he took the time to interact with us, he organised mini events and won alot of trust and respect simply by being active amongst the community and not settling for half hearted "soon" statements - none moreso was such efforts acknowledged as when that MMO finally decided, after a year long hush by the powers that be, to finally come out and tell us.. LIGHTS OUT, ITS OVER!... What did Branigan do.. organised one last hurrah, even dipping into his own pocket and gave the community the last ounce of his soul...

THAT IS WHAT THIS GAME, THIS FORUM, THIS COMPANY LACKS IN ABUNDANCE!

FYI - since closing the EU servers down and mass transfering player accounts over to its US servers, that MMO has become one of the few successes that F2P can actually boast about.

EDIT - Good to see another piece of content pushed out the door without proper testing.. guess the patching tomorrow will sort it out.. one hopes without the need to patch that patch and patch it again next week....

Ha-ha. This was funny! Go down fighting!! That's the spirit! =)

Perhaps Joveth has gone to find some info out for us and has been lynched by the dev team for 'interrupting' them...

Either that, or it's another broken promise about keeping us informed!

You know what, maybe you should tell us more about the exciting future of the game because I'm pretty sure the community isn't seeing it. All we see is a long list of broken promises.

Continental Drift works faster than the communication team. Their definition of "soon" seems to be within the next decade and by "this year" they seem to mean before the first number on the year switches from 2xxx to 3xxx.

The number one question they are asked in total number of unique sources is "When will same-gender-relationships be enabled in game?" And their only response ever is "soon." If they say anything else they know they will have to put up or shut-up. They do not even talk about it in the forums and delete any thread about them to keep the subject under the table. I do not think we will see anything until the question of whether or not EA gets sold is decided and the new owners (if any) decide whether or not they want SGR's in EA products. If they do not, I'd imagine they will vanish from all future EA products.

Can you GUARANTEE what is said there?

Are you willing to pay everyone 500 bucks worth of cartel coins for each day that passes the 6 weeks, interval which yourself set? And are you willing to pay 5000 bucks worth of cartel coins for each patch that doesn`t deliver, as Syrrion described on page 2 of the 2nd link?

Do you believe in the product you are selling that much that you are willing to put money down?

Tux I hope you will be playing that other game in 7 days. Message me if you are and tell me your toon name and server. It's going to be fun!!!!!

The better info from Friday.

Have we seen it or is it still to come?
