I've also asked the Lucasarts folks to comment on this which you should see today some time (not sure when or where exactly).
I also want to say - I'm happy to discuss things that need to be done to make SWG better. What I will not do is respond to "go back to pre-NGE" threads or "please make 1 pre-nge server" threads. I've commented on those before.
Smed
So Smed, hows the 6 month plan coming, you know the one you told us about when you released the NGE on us and said 'give us 6 months to get it all nice and purty' well hows that going?
I think it's going as well as it can. The team is working on the next publish and I think it's fair to say with every new publish the game will be better. There are only so many hours in the day that the team can work and they've got it in overdrive making this game better.
Smed
all very well and good, but will the NGE be in a finished state like you said it would be in 1.5 months?

Smed,
Please post your top 5 concerns from the player base.
Thunderhart has posted his, we would like to see if you understand what the main problems are in this game.
ok. Here are my top 5. Keep in mind, this doesn't mean this is the order things are being done.. just my personal ones and what I see being big issues with the community.
1. Crafting - I know crafters are pissed.. we're working on a system that I hope will be a good balance between the crafting centric system we had before and the loot drop system we have now. The truth is this needs to be balanced.
2. New quests for the mid-levels - there's not enough of them now. The team is cranking on it.
3. PvP - Not nearly enough of it - I don't like what we've done to faction bases. Personally I think this is a big part of what this game needs to be about. Then again, I'm personally a PvPer so that's a big deal to me.
4. Entertainers - I realize a lot of people don't like the idea of entertainers being in combat. To a lot of people this IS why they went into entertaining in the first place. I like where we're going with it and want to make sure it's balanced properly.
5. Higher end content - There's a lack of really interesting high-end content in the game. A lot of the vets have maxed out and we need to make sure there's still enough to do.

so smed, you check the forums of other websites and dont check ur "own" game's forums.. i mean, the rumor is like a week old, if u are doing ur job and check the forums everyday u should be well informed...
btw whats the pub 28 eta?.... TH havent posted for like days... maybe u could answer us...
Actually I responded directly to the websites that had this rumor. At some point I can't and shouldn't respond to every stupid rumor that gets started.

We've heard it all before. Actions speak louder than words.. Well, in America they do..
Mr Smed could you comment on Rogue_5's undelivered promises
Rogue_5:
Improving our communication is going to be a critical part of achieving this goal. We recognize that our success is determined in large part by our ability to listen to players, ask for feedback, initiate research and stay true to the brand. We want your continued support. Your input is critical to our process and we will continue to bounce ideas off the community, put new content on our Test Centers and probe for your ideas. Together we can take this game to the next level of excitement.
This year, our commitment to you is to bring back the spirit of Star Wars with more focus on the “wars”, the characters, the adventures, and battles that hearken back to the movie adventures. We have a lot of fun planned, a lot of quality improvement, and a lot of bug fixing – so get ready for an exciting year that will remind you of why you love SWG .
We are almost thru the first quarter, and outside of 1 week the communication has actually been much much much worse then 2005 and there has been not even the slightest hint of the spirit of Star Wars returning.
Exactly how do you want me to answer this? This is exactly what I'm talking about... I can't respond to something like this with an answer that you're going to be happy with. Ask me a question that I can answer and I'll give it a shot.

LOL they couldnt even finish CU in 6 months... i wonder how long will take the nge to be finished, like 1 1/2 year?, 2 years?.... all i have to say that the best for SWG right now is another Combat Revamp... add skills tree and make more content for the players... right now my elder jedi is stuck on lvl 84 because i did almost all mustafar/kashyyk quests pre-nge, now that devs nerfed the xp there is no way to lvl up... smed, can u tell us what u plan to do about the xp/quests?... so many nerfs, we arent even able to lvl 90

Also might I add, Not enough PvP/GCW. Reason being is the POPULATION! You created. Merge servers, cause I highly doubt people will just randomly start LIKING this game again.

WOW I am truly shocked and amazed you listed this.
It took Thunderheart ages to come up with a list when we asked him and even then it was just a list of player concerns he compiled from the thread
