We need to move on.
Old guilds are strong, and if the devs can't help us recover, I'm sure that many communities can help. (within reason)
If you think you are going to lose an item, screenshot it, and may be some people in your guild will ask you extensive question on how and why you get it and provide you with minimal relief.
This is the best way to go down. As long as we can ensure that's such project isn't abused by greedy players.
But I'm really concern that we are going to lose many players over that, regardless of our capacity to provide a minimum relief. Players who got screwed tend to get pissed off, give up, and may be come back a year later. At this point it will be too late for any type of compensation.
And its not easy to grow our population. I sometime try to recruit player on SWTOR... Its not easy. We are playing an old game, in order to play you need to know about the game and have the discs.
In 5-10 years, if computers all switch to Windows ARM, Linux ARM, less and less new players will be able to play. (Unless Windows ARM does a hell of job at emulating Intel-based computer. But I do know virtual machine and emulation, and when you need to emulate a certain hardware in order to virtualize one OS, it never looks good. However SWG is an old game. )
We need to move on, the Clone War doesn't change the "legality" of the project. The devs took measure to prevent it. Even so I don't understand the points some are trying to make.
What we need now: good news... Is JtL back on track? I was lurking on another thread :P
With atmospheric landing like in the last month of SWG NGE? <3. (I know its asking a lot lol)
