Garva on the SOE forums has said this is a "hoax" for what it's worth. The SWGPlayers website, altho owned by SOE, is not up for use according to Garva who is SOE's head of relations on the forums. Also, according to Garva "Chris Sturr, Sr. Brand Manager, Sony Online Entertainment" is a EQ2 employee and would not speak for SOE in a public announcement. Also such a public announcement would be made, well, publically... I personally could care less. I have no interest in paying extra money to be able to browse other toon's inventory online and get PvP standings and such. As for Star Wars Galaxies Complete...that I believe, and I expect people like me who have shelled out 100+ on each account they had (had 3, cancelled 2) just in software key purchases alone, will be plenty pissed.

What have I always told you guys about Vent? I have a small child and a wife who are in the same room as me while I play. or me to be talking a lot while they do what they do would be annoying. I guess I could sit and listen to you guys talk and tell the Imperials what you are up to.... errrr, could hang out and chat with friends.... Someone get me the IP and password and such.

Maybe I'm overstating a bit. It's not as bad as you seem to think I said. I just get "upset" because the game has so much possibility and it's being wasted, and overrun with 1337 kiddies. I'm trying to go back to how I used to play the game to see if that will make me enjoy it more. Text on the internet can be so easily misinterpreted because there is no emotion and local dialeects get throw out of whack. I didn't mean the game literally made me depressed. I should have spoken more clearly.

I replied part of this in a PM from someone in the guild. I'd like to explain why I left SancT and why I went Imperial so you folks would understand. Before I explain what I want, I'll explain this simply. SancTuarY is a well organized, well maintained and fun guild. You guys/girls? are all great. I had a blast being with you all, I had a blast interacting with you all. I never had any negative feelings towards any of you. You have been good friends, and I hope regardless of what happens in the universe, that those friendships will be maintain, regardless if I'm Rebel or Imperial or Hutt or Civilian or whatever else I choose to be in this game. I have lately been hearing so much trash talk about the Rebels on the server, specifically SancTuarY and ok, I'll say it...Astrus. Now, the things these people (for now I'll avoid saying idiots because that wouldn't be very Christian of me) are saying go in my left ear and out the right. Why? Because I'm not a mindless fool. I know you guys well enough over the past 3 months, to make up my own opinion. Why would I waste my time posting the thread I did if I was gonna bail because I thought you were all jerks. I form my own opinions, I get to know everyone in the game that I can. The reason is, I'm not in this game to go around killing people and then spew crap out of my mouth that I pwnzorz teh sockzorz ROFLCOPTER!!!!!11111ONE. I'm a human being, and I'm trying to live the Star Wars Experience this game USED to offer. I'm not a Pre-CU fanboi, not a Rollback fanboi, I'm a Star Wars lover and I joined this game to live the Star Wars Experience. When I started this game, people had so little, no loot, no money, no cities, nothing that players take for granted today. There's no chance in hell I'd ever have 100+ million credits back in 2003, if you broke 1 million, you were considered rich. When I came back to SWG in March, it was not to get involved in the politics and drama this game so heavily seems to enjoy, it was to get back to the Star Wars Experience. I'm not a PvPer, hell, my only PvP in the last 2 years was the other night in Restuss. I ran around killing a ton of people, then I said over guildchat "OK, I just killed 20+ Imperials and I didn't die. I'm still good at PvP, but I still don't like it. Can I stop now?". I miss camping, I miss group PvE (and by group I mean entire guilds running Krayts and the such), I miss people just chatting about how work was today, or that they heard your daughter spoke for the first time, I miss people chatting in a cantina about something other that "how many assholes they killed and what a jerk so and so is because he's on the other side". One thing I will never get with online gamers (specifically PvP types), is their intense hatred for the people on the other team, to the point of them actually hating the person behind the computer screen. We are all real people, we all have feelings, we all want to have fun and enjoy the game, so who cares that we are Imperial or we are Rebel or we are Nightsister (I wanna be the only male Nightsister). I am Okie Korrrack, a Smuggler, I can PvP with anyone and pull my weight, I can solo most of the mobs in game, but.... I'm also David Granger, a father, a Sunday School teacher, a real person. People miss that they don't even know those they hate, and that is what is tearing this game apart. People want loot (gimme gimme), they want to run around and slaughter everyone else, and when they are done, they have to tell the universe about how great they are or what cheaters the other side is. At the end of the day, nobody cares, because when you log off your computer, you turn around, and there is your family, there are your friends. I am me in SWG. My character, my personality, it's all me. Regretfully most of the players of SWG are trying to be something they are not, and that makes them aggressive when they are unsuccessful, so they lash out to blame others. THAT is where trash talk comes from. I have no intentions of ever trash talking anyone in SancTuarY, let alone killing you and yelling "I R TEH PWNZ J00 SUCKZORZ!". I'll kill you and then we can go to the cantina and talk about ow much fun we had visiting the clone center together. Now, after all that crap, why I went Imperial again. As I said before, the Star Wars Experience is what I need. Since I started playing this game, and since I saw A New Hope at the age of 8 opening night in the movie theatre, I have wanted one thing... to be a storm trooper. I would have bought a set of armor years ago, but a fat trooper would be more of a joke than a celebration of the greatness of the Star Wars Experience. I play the game to live it, not to role play per say, but to feel it. And the best times I had in game were running around in st armor with friends from VVV chastising people in the Theed cantina, then getting our asses handed to us by the rebel guild from Nabubu (can't remember their names to save my life). I have been on the verge of cancelling again, but this game is a release for me, it puts a smile on my face to just log on. I was hoping that the game had not changed so much since I had left in 2005. It had, but not necessarly for the worse, just different. So I need to go back old school in the game, playing for the experience, not for the loot, not for the credits, not to OWNED CHUBA! (or whatever everyone is saying these days). I hope that you guys can get past the Imperial/Rebel hatred of the actual people. Remember, this is a game, and I am a real person, as are all of you. I like you for who you are, for how I was treated, for the friendship given, not because we were the same faction. I could have joined 100 other Rebel guilds, but I chose SancTuarY because of the people, because of Astrus, and Shawkorrr and Yva (VVV FTW!) and Be (can't spell the rest of the name) and, and Tcnsain, and Snap-Crackle-Pop and all the other people I'm not mentioning cos I haven't had my 3rd coffee yet this morning. You are a great bunch of guys, I see past the Rebel logo, I hope you can too. Let your friend enjoy the Experience, and maybe, just maybe, some other who take the game too seriously will want the Experience too, being A Storm Trooper, being a Bothan Spy, being Boobie-Fett. Whatever it takes, enjoy the game, and enjoy friends, beecause they are morre important than the game itself or who controls Restuss of who PWNZ who. Your friend, David EDIT: I forgot to mention or answer in the PM I got. When I left SancTuarY, I intended to be a loner, to just be everyone's friend I can. No guild, no drama, no problem. I still have no intention being in a guild, altho last night I did space missions with my old VVV friend Ritter from NIF. I doubt I will join a guild again. As it stands, there's nothing in it for me, and I still have my friends, regardless of my affiliation.

I am consolidating as much as I can into one account. I will be keeping my toons Okie Korrack and Reverence. I have moved to outside of Mos Eisley into basically a storage warehouse. I need to do things to keep myself interested in the game. What is fun for me. Some time this week, I am going to be moving Okie back to Imperial and maybe tryingg some PvP. It would probably be best for me to step out of SancTuarY because of this. If I can't find what I want to be doing, then I may as well close all my accounts period. I've met some wonderful people in the few months I've been here. And I hope that when I kill you in PvP, you won't take it personally :) Honestly, I just want to have fun playing this game, and flip flopping is part of my attempt to have fun. Sorry if this causes any problems, but I don't see it doing that. I was basically solo playing in the guild as it was. Thank you for the fun, I hope I can still post here when this is read As I'm about to be banned from the SWG Forums for asking a valid question: :)

I'm gonna send in a ticket to see if I can. From what I remember when I created my new account, I think I was told that you can't re-register a key with SOE. We'll see what happens. I can provide proof I own both accounts. Maybe I'll contact SOE directly instead of a CSR.

Oh I'm not scared of losing stuff. I can consolidate it all on 2 toons no problem. I have no houses, just the mall. And as this is partially a money thing for me, I'm removing my temptation and deleting the toons on the two accounts all together.

I just cancelled two of my three accounts. I will be moving everything into storage vendors for my one trader account over the weekend. What a pain in the *butt* this is gonna be. If anyone needs tailor components, let me know. I think part of this is money. I waste $45 a month for the aggrivation. I think dropping it to 1 account will be more cost effective, and save me money for the drugs I need to cope with SOE. Wish I could find a way to port the SE goggles I have on one account to the account I'll keep. I will be left with: Okie Korrack - Master Smuggler Reverence - Master Engineering Trader

I don't need XP, I'm already Master...er Elder Smuggler. Thank you for the invite. I'll see what I can do. I didn't do any combat missions in phase 1 or 2. I did crafting, but we'll see how this all goes. Never been a good role player. I'm sorta a half role player. I prefer to be me but in my mind I imagine I'm in the experience. I just don't interact and role play. Just depressed right now about this whole thing. Dunno what I wanna do, if I even want to do anything, or what. I'm lost. And my only guidance is telling me to quit and spend my time doing other things. Been looking at my monthly bills this last week and I'm sure I could spend $45 better elsewhere. I really dunno what I'm gonna do. Was in game today and said hello in guildchat 4 times. Nobody replied. I know people were on, someone was even trying to talk to someone else on guildchat. I also saw people in game. Blah blah. Again, whining. Ignore me.

Very funny, going to Restuss will make me SF and thus open me to PvP. PvP is not going to save the game for me. I'm considering reopening a church I used to have. I was in Restuss today with Reverence to pick up my badge for crafting E-11s. I ran around SF looking at the blown up city waiting to get ganked and watched all the folks camp the spawn for the new hilt. I'm not going back.

7pm to midnight eastern time (mostly). You are in California, so I'm playing while you're having dinner. But literally, for the past week, I have seen maybe 2 or 3 people total logged in and talking on guildchat while I have been on. I mean it's not a problem, I'm the one with the issue.

I know, I guess I was just looking for reassurance that there would always be people playing SWG or something. It's very depressing, it really is. SWG has always been my outlet to relieve stress. My escape. Seeing a friend's list with nobody logged on, nobody talking on guildchat (yes I know you guys use vent even when not in SWG, but I have a wife and daughter who wouldn't appreciate me chatting while they try to watch TV or my daughter tries to fall asleep), just makes me feel alone. I'm just feeling sorry for myself because I can't find my niche. I guess I just need to adapt or move on. I'll give it a little bit and see how I feel. Thanks to everyone for their replies.

My problem with Vanguard is I'm not a Dungeons and Dragons, EQ, WoW, little elves and orc guy. I hated LOTR (there! I said it). I'm a sci-fi guy. I love Star Wars, and have ever since I was as 9 and watched the opening sequence of A New Hope, opening night in a theatre filled to the doors. I'm hooked. It's funny, cos this is exactly what happened with VVV. They moved on to EQ2 and I didn't follow. I stayed with SWG and quit like 4 months later. I know Vanguard is a way off, but wow, SWG is just dead it seems. I'm trying my best to keep it interesting. I also need to find a new person to help me with getting space XP. I have been flying around killing everything around Kashykk. Is there anywhere else I can go? And when I get to the corvette, I'm seriously gonna need help.

I want to stay in SancTuarY as a guild, but can I leave the city? I feel a draw to move just outside Jabba's Palace.
