Don't waste you time or money on SOE. They butchered a great game and its community.
And I fail to see how REMOVING CONTENT can ever be considered an improvment.
And to top it all off SOE has the worst customer service of any company I have ever been involved with. The customer service forums have been locked. The forum mods are rude and condescending.
What started out as a incredibly exciting prospect at playing a MMORPG in the SW unverse has turned into a nightmare. I will never buy another Sony product again and I'll have serious doubts about anything from LA.
