I believe one SOE official apologised for the foolishness of not listening to the fans at the time, which may also explain the revisions - redemption.

As for SWG's subscriber numbers.... Understated. There are definitely a lot more than 50k people playing on the Europe servers alone - they're almost always rated as "Heavy" during the day.

New Game Enhancement. A set of patches and modifications added to the game a few years back which, according to most fans, FUBAR'd the whole thing.

NGE was preceeded by the CU (Combat Upgrade), which similarly FUBAR'd the whole game according to some. Personally, I didn't mind, I liked the Pre-CU/Pre-NGE systems, but the new system doesn't particularly piss me off either.

according to those "heavy" numbers that is because servers are limited at 5k or so I remember cuz when the apology came out thats what the DEV said- also if the servers really are filled with more than 50k subscriptions which according to IGN is more around 30k then why arent major areas of meeting no longer packed like coronet use to be during pre-cu or theed or any other major spaceport? Im going to give swg another try but only because I heard that the vilage of aurilla is back(pre-cu jedi here) as well some things sound like pre-cu otherwise ill just wait for an emu or hopefully a kotor mmo or something

Coronet is pretty out of the way these days, what with Mos Eisley being the new starter planet. My old guild on Europe-Chimaera still used Coronet as a meeting place every Sunday before our space PvP, though, so it still sees use - preferred social area is just Tatooine now.

Bioware is not doing it, ive been reading up on KOTOR 3 and one poster said his brother worked at Bioware and said they did not want to work with the kotor series because lucas arts was pushy with the development and plot lines

hahahaha i had a friends whos uncle was in the business of lightbulb selling and he overheard 1 of his customers yelling at his son because he was talking about a videogame series known as kotor and how his uncle (the fathers brother) is a developer for bioware videogames and kotor 3 is in the making...

I read an online articel about a year ago that Lucas Arts fired their production team before KOTOR III was on the drawing board to focus on other endeavors. The team that originally created KOTOR I & II were fired as a result of new managment being hired. KOTOR III was scrapped as a result.

Lucas Arts is about to launch The Force Unleashed. I think that Lucas Arts is focusing on keeping the stories closer to the movie saga.

That doesn't make me happy, though. Lucas, through proxy, created a galaxy with close to some 30,000 years worth of history ripe for the telling. Why not continue the KOTOR Series? But it doesn't have to deal with Revan or the Exile.

Why not go 1000 years back before the Mandalorian Wars? Why not do a game during the Great Hyperspace Wars? Why not do the Sith Wars with Exar Kun, Nomi Surider, Jolee Bindo, Cay and Ulic Qel-Droma?

Why not do 500 years BBY (before the Battle of Yavin) and do a Yoda Story?

Why focus on something that should be put to bed?

Don't get me wrong. I love Revan. But let it be. Maybe Revan is one of the Lost 20.
