		<description>I was playing SWG when the NGE update was applied. I had just purchased the Obi-wan expansion a month before, and it was all wiped out in one night of NGE conversion.

Clearly, this had to have been worked on for at least a year, you don&#039;t do a whole new combat and character advancement system in a few weeks. 

I consider that unethical at the very least. I canceled my account. After I traded all my SWG credits to IGE for something else. :p

I lived with SoE&#039;s stupid decisions in Everquest forever, since beta 2, so since SoE was involved in it. I know from experience I don&#039;t want them in charge of any future game I might play.

Which will NOT be Vanguard.</description>

		<description>I too, abhore the treatment that SOE&#039;s customers, particularly SWG customers recieved/recieve still. Smedley may not be solely responsible for the attrocities committed on the SWG customers, but his own personal posting on the forums is full of lies, deciet and contradiction. 

SWG&#039;s Creature Handler&#039;s are amongst the most shafted of MMO characters in history.

I cannot stand the &quot;New Game Enhancements&quot;!! Never has a game gone from such great heights to such terrible lows overnight.

I&#039;ll also be avoiding SOE&#039;s and indeed, Sony&#039;s products because of SWG&#039;s handling. I run an IT company and a lot of Sony product USED to pass through our hands.

However, as much as I hate the NGE, hate the non-existant ethics by which SOE operate, and feel sick to the gut when I see how our beloved game was ripped apart, let us not be spreading more lies just because they concur with our point of view. 

As someone who pre-ordered Trials of Obi-Wan, I can tell you that I did indeed get a refund, as did anyone who bothered to read the forums and follow the appropriate links to do so. Repeat : A refund WAS offered to those who pre-ordered Trials of Obi-Wan, albeit after a lot of community pressure to do so.</description>

That&#039;ll put a new spin on things, eh?</description>
