I'm in the same boat as Iovid. I did once exchange a pair of messages with Bracketh, asking if I could help on a research project in live which hadn't received any new posts in a couple of months. The response was friendly, but he said "hang out on IRC, that's where things happen." Well, having spent time hanging out on IRC, not much happens there honestly excepting during guided testing. I guess the idea was so the devs could get a sense of who folks are, but most of the conversation in the IRC channel is pointless and not really useful to see how well someone would follow through on assisting the team. And personally, when the choice is spending my time deciphering the grammar on IRC or working on my PhD, I've got to choose the latter.

I'm gonna have to chime in with the people who dont post due to flameage. I've just been reading dailey and keeping updated, but not posting due to not wanting to make waves.

That's very true. I try to stay out of discussions for fear of the wrath of closing my thread or getting flamed for asking a "silly question."

There have been times when I looked around for the answer to a question and couldn't find it without digging around. I didn't want to ask anyone so I kept digging and, yes, finally found what I needed without posting. However, that sort of environment encourages people not to post for fear of The Flame.

I'll admit, I haven't read but the first couple of pages of this thread and don't know if it this was addressed later on here. But it seems that there are much fewer "THREAD CLOSED - READ THE FAQ" threads in the list of discussions, so maybe the board is friendlier now since this was brought up.

I just want my REAL SWG again! I can't wait for this thing to get running fulltime!

BTW, how do I log into SWGEMU? (joke )

One thing that I thought would be fun and informative would be a guided chat like what they used to have at Stratics at the beginning of swg. where moderated questions by smusatto or one of the other admins would be posed to the devs. as long as it is controlled, it could be great. anything you don't want to answer can be ignored, etc.

just a thought

One thing I would love to see here as and when applicable, is for the folks who will be running the servers, set up their own threads and/or independent pages/sites, for their specific server. Then we can get a feel for what direction each of them wants to take in principal, then apply ourselves to whichever one or many that we will consider playing on. Instead of what seems so far to be a very jumbled set of ideas and conflict of those ideas

If this or something near on identical is already running please do excuse my ignorance

no need to apologize for ignorance on that subject. there was a servers list, but it was taken down since core3 is only on the swgemu TC and any other site/server is running the unstable modded core 1. a list of some of the servers/sites out there are at http://www.swgemuservers.com/.

Cool thank you for the link, have registered back with Chimeara.

Am unsure whether am standing with my original stance or not. The impression from what reading I have done, is that the aim is to get the game live, with content as it was 12.1, and that any other content, would be added and or taken away by the host of each server. Hence my thought of shouldn't all ideas be relevant to a specific server, not to Beta, if Beta, scripting, code etc (like I know what those words mean lol), is purely directed at getting ready for launch with 12.1 as was.

Again please excuse ignorance if I am of the mark here.

personally i wouldnt get mad at the community ramsey. First website we had the community was insanely involved in my opinion then like some people have said above they got flame poo thrown at them so everyone backed down and thats the reputation emu team was stuck with. Hard mean jerks. But you guys have taken a turn in your attitude so slowly people are comming out of there hole.. imo

Hmm lets see.

From the beginning the community was told it wasn't about them. It was about you and you wanting to play SWG. Since then numerous good folks have been banned or removed for questioning you. You've had one dev run off with a considerable amount of donation cash. You've driven off some good folks like Anzel. Hired nazis to patrol your forums. And snap at people if they say something in IRC you don't agree with.

Did I miss something?

We have been saying all along you can't treat the general community like **** and expect them to follow behind you.

And I think now you are seeing that.

A lot of folks are here because they want to play SWG again and are just waiting to see if you guys ever deliver. They don't want to talk to you. They really don't want to be part of your community. They just want to play swg again.

[Ramsey]

No one is being banned anymore, so I dont see why everyone is dwelling in the past. we've changed heh, Im asking how we can improve, not bashing what went wrong before.

[dorrick]

its not that a new guy comes and just ask any question that makes sense and would need answering. Its the people that are to lazy to just search around the forums abit an overall use there brains. I'm proud to say i have never needed to post a question on here because most or all questions are answered as simple as possible.

And i am very computer illiterate

3rd post wewt! I dont have many posts because i for one am active on truegalaxies with around 150 posts or so. That could possibly be on reason why its not as active as you would like O.o

Ooh! Just had a nice idea! I remembered my days as a bounty hunter. I was wondering if you could expand the BH profession a little bit. I know you could hunt real player jedi but I was wondering if you could hunt other people for other reasons. Me and a friend were talking about this and thinking it would be so cool to do.
Another nice idea would be to have missions posted by actual people with set rewards. I honestly have no idea if these requests are possible (please dont flame me) its just that if it was possible, this idea would be sooo awesome! Please reply giving your opinions folks!

Take a gander, lots of interesting discussions going on!

I've stopped posting on the forums simply because of the flaming that goes on here , I agree that when new members join the community they should read the faq but not everyone is going to do that ,

Also majority of the flamers i have seen have taken place the future ideas , Now it is expected that when someone posts an idea not everyone is going to like and give their opinions why but the manner of it is so rude that it scares that new member away , I agree some ideas that have been posted i don't agree with but if you're going to give that person your opinion at least do it in a way where you're not hurting the member or the community .
