SWG has a wickedly high turnover rate for a MMORPG. If I were to guess, it is something like 66% after the 6 or so months. What they are trying to do is get the people who quit the game (because it sucked) to give it another try. If the people who quit it after the first 4 months come back and actually see the improvements, then SOE will get the monthly revenue again; if the people still don't like the game then nothing was lost.

The people at SOE are trying to do everything short of giving away the game to get people to continue playing month after month while they try to fix it up.

yeah im participating in that beta most definitely and the only thing that will keep me from buying game when it comes out is my current subscription to swg LOL

If SOE wants to win they will have to either a. lower monthly cost or b. duh! make the game less glitchy



they keep adding stuff in instead off fixing whats already broke!

I think the glitches Fitzilla is referring to are the general ones that people complain about: duping, common dropped connections, really laggy performance if they don't reset the servers daily, class balancing, lack of things that should have been in the game since launch (like milk), et cetera.

I don't agree that dropping the price is the way to go. They sold over 330,000 boxes, so there are alot of people willing to shell out money for the game and its premium monthly cost. I think they can get less people cancelling if they gave the game more challenging goals. Not everyone wants to destroy their character in order to unlock the force sensitive slot. If you just want to play with your starting character, you can max out his skill points and get the best equipment within a month or two of playing. After that, the game really doesn't have anything to offer besides superficial missions.

Kudos, Monserat.
You are (imo) right on the money. It is not a good sign, though, when 6 months after launch, you have to compete with the initial Beta test of another game that wont be out for what....at a minimum 6 mths? And that is being very optimistic.

Um, SOE, have you checked the weather forecast? Keep a watchful eye, for you may get snowed in by a Blizzard!

The problem with the game isn't the glitches. While most of them are annoying, it won't stop you from playing the game. The problem with the game is that its not that entertaining! There's very little content, and most of the time, I feel very isolated in this game, despite the fact that its an MMORPG. I've been doing alot of reading on WoW, and its 100% likely that I'll be switching to it when its released.

WoW announced today that beta signups begin Wednesday, January 28th at 9pm EST. I won't be suprised if SOE does something to try and steal the thunder and take all the buzz off of WoW's announcement. Making an announcement about their space pack or a new profession, maybe?
