Deft Aklin Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Okay, so it is apparent to many of the veteran posters and visitors to these boards that discussion has either grown stale or slowed down immensely in the last few months. Why is that exactly. Well, first of all, many of our more long-winded posters, myself included, have nit-picked the details and posts of the developers in infinitely fine detail. Also, many of the visitors to this site are quickly being drafted into Beta 3 testing. I want to assure you all that this is a good thing. What does the slow down mean? Well, most likely Sony is going to lift the NDA soon. They probably won't want to lose customers to stale topics and an over abundance of Jedi threads, FIRST! posts and general trolls and flames against the game in general. I take that as a sign that the NDA lift quickly approaches. I give it a month at the latest. This is not from some inside Beta knowledge as there has been no word to anyone on when the NDA will be lifted, but they have referenced it's imminent and will be here 'soon'. I want you all to hang in there. Remember, those supposedly stale question do in fact have answers. Answers that will most definetely be posted on these boards once the NDA is in fact lifted. Though we may not have a definite time frame on such an event, I think we all can feel it's approach. As for the Beta testers which frequent this site, well, I think I speak for all of us when I say that we are absolutely dying to answer all of your questions, but right now we will not risk our status as Beta testers, or our possible future in the SWG community to do so. There are many posts which I see right now, that I simply do not respond to, because I can't do so without giving inside information. Hopefully, you will all understand the situation our Beta testers are currently in and help them uphold the NDA by not hounding them with questions. Trust me, we will unleash a boatload of information once the NDA falls and we no longer have that hanging over our heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 What? Why are you looking at me?? But I thought it said we couldn't discuss what happened un beta even if the NDA is lifted... I dunno, it's not like I read it wih a magnifying glass..... You know D_S.. it'd be nice if you could wire me some credits so I can get to you... it's taking forever for me to make credits....

-=ReApEr=- Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Thank you for reassuring us the community Darth, I too would like to tell everyone that we are still hanging in here the NDA is comming very soon. We are getting plently of updates, located either on the Official site or this forums very site. Even though many of the regulars have been called to beta, they are still visiting for e.g Darth still is and hes a beta tester and a mod here. So guys my point is we can stick together and in there the wait is almost ending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deft Aklin Posted May 7, 2003 Author Share Posted May 7, 2003 Grinch doesn't have much of a choice, he's one of the SWG.net columnists. By the way Grinch, why aren't you griping about something anyway. Especially since you are not in Beta, you should have plenty to complain about in your next column.

GreenJediGrinch Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Damn it, I have to much to bitch about and the right amoutn of tiem to do it in.......but because of some things going on here at home, by the time I get to where I can have time to write...or bitch, which ever you prefer ....I am mentally drained. Most of it is from taking care of mom all day long. She's on alot of pain killers and she is halucinating and all sorts of weird stuff. I just haven't gotten my letter like the rest of you staffers have. Damn it.....the devs must not like me. But thats ok, I've been playing the Beta for Enemy Territory, the new Wolfenstein stand-alone multiplayer version. It's pretty good. BTW Darth.....The sight of your avatar has killed one of my fish. He's laying in my tank right now on his side. J/K....you didn't kill him. This species of fish lay on their sides in the bottom of tanks....it's to let you know they are comfortable with their surroundings, and everythign is going just peachy intheir scaly fishy type world.

Deft Aklin Posted May 7, 2003 Author Share Posted May 7, 2003 Hey, you just hang in there Grinch, we're all supporting you and anxiously awaiting your return. Good luck and hope everything gets better soon, for you, your mother and your fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrackan Solo Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Ah yes. I have noticed a slow down in threads and posts here at the forums. I myself have not poked in to see what is going on in awhile, because of lack of interest in some of the threads. I am sure though when the game comes out there will be more people posting more often. Another reason why I havent shown up around here, is I am not too sure if I will be getting the game right away. You see there is a little problem with finances for the game. I have heard rumors of high monthly costs and quite frankly they are a little high for my lowly income. I am pretty sure that I will be getting the game sometime this late spring or early summer when I have enough money saved in my "SWG Account". I hope to join you all "in-game" this summer but I dont know when. So dont be surprised if you dont hear from me for awhile:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.K Luke Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 I'm new here so I don't see the slow down yet hehe, however, it's quite logical to say that the forum will be busy again once the devs announce the NDA lifting/open beta commencement, or better still, the long-awaited released date!

Thew Rydur Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I haven't really been on the boards in a while due to some connection issues and a certain program *coughbetacough* , but I plan to be around more often now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
