[CptStern]

[bud7miker]

WTF? starwars nerds are so so strange...

 

[gh0st]

i was there. theres plans for a swg wide protest soon too.

 

[guchi]

lol, thats classic

 

[leadfish]

Wow, I've never heard of anything like that lol!

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Haha...Forging money, protests and a totalitarian government that doesn't even let the media in

 

[CrazyHarij]

Holy f*cking shit.. Damn, hope they don't give up!

 

[CyberSh33p]

I remember city of heroes once, fans of justice radio(internet radio station for CoHers, I think its stupid) sort of gathered up in the most populated part of one of the most populated zones, and just sort of messed around. The GMs got all pissed and threatened to ban the justice radio folks, and a bunch of crap happened. Not sure what the results were.

Wow, if these MMORPGS keep up this kind of behavior, SW stands to become quite popular. Seems what the others dont want you doing, we don't mind and consider it "part of the experience"

Go Sourceworld! :E

nice shameless plug there fenric

you guys seem pretty damn oppressive actually from what I'm understanding maybe what I am not hearing is that you pactically encourage going against the oppression

 

[mrchimp]

This is the kind of thing that makes you want to play a MMORPG, ooooo the drama.

 

[CptStern]

Haha...Forging money, protests and a totalitarian government that doesn't even let the media in

sounds like reality

nice shameless plug there fenric

works for me, I just spent the last hour finding out what exactly Sourceworld was ...I want in :drool:

gh0st: can you keep us updated with the upcoming planned protest? maybe you could be a HL2.net news correspondent

 

[Razor]

What is the point of protesting? all they have to do is cancel their accounts and Soe will soon listen.

 

[Dalamari]

Intrepid, that is the server I used to play on....

I shoulda stayed around and help protest.

 

[Foxtrot]

They are threatening to remove their accounts from the game because the GMs are banning people....lol...

 

[Kohman77]

lol this isn't the first time this has happened.
One time like hundreds of wookies gathered and begged and cried for wookie armor.
by the way, thats the stroy of why wookie armor was added to the game :monkee:

*grins*

 

[Zeus]

Maybe I shouldn't post my opinion on what I'm thinking about this situation right now. Might run the risk of getting banned. Lol

 

[craig]

Wow. SWG. The game I spend £30, played for a week (out of a 1 month free trial) and shelved.

Sounds pretty cool that the dorks who spend their whole lives amassing fake money to subsequently sell on eBay are pissed off though

My signature is far too long!

Yeah, I'd have to agree with you there Zeus.

 

[Foxtrot]

My friend made about 1500 off of SWG in a couple weeks, he would exploit to get a bunch of credits and then sell them on ebay, he got a 1 day suspension like 4 times and was never banned.

 

[CptStern]

funniest thing that happened during the protest:

"This had little affect on the gathering so the CSR's began teleporting the protest participants into remote areas of the game, including the vacuum of space. "


oh no!! someone killed my wookie!!

 

[Kohman77]

im about ready to quit swg im gonna sell my stuff but I gotta make an ebay acc first :\

lmao

I must admit watching that would have been fun :E

-

Though its a shame they had to do it in a way that doesn't fit in the setting. Would have been more impressive if they'd been able to setup a number of stormtrooper teams as riot control. Or do a Tarkin and land a ship on top of the protestors (really don't know why they didn't, it was the perfect chance)

 

[CptStern]

I'm thinking of buying the game just to participate in the next protest


down with the ewoks!!! free Exo-Protein Wafers for everyone!!!, long live Jar-Jar Binks!!!


*Stern is teleported to the vacuum of space*


edit: I'd pay to see that Dark Elf

 

[Shakermaker]

lmao, quite funny that thread. Quite nerdy too .....
