I just felt a disturbance in the Force. It's as if hundreds of thousands of voices suddenly cried out "This game sucks!" and then were promptly ignored. Heheh. Couldn't resist that.
An email arrived from LucasArts/SOE today stating (not asking, but stating) that the Star Wars Galaxies account team would be reactivating my canceled SWG account as of Tuesday, and I would have a free 14-day trial to check out all of the new features, including player-run cities, player vehicles (about fucking time!), player mounts and new places to explore (that are probably filled with newbie-killing butterflies or something -- damn Corellian butterflies, they'll get you every time).
Anyway, I don't mind that they're trying to convince players that gave up on SWG a freebie in the hopes that they'll come back to see that the game is now complete (except for, y'know, unimportant things like being able to buy a frickin' starship -- that's what the first expansion will add), but I don't like how they're just reactivating my account without me first opting in. It just irks me. First they release the game too early with a bajillion bugs and no player vehicles (and let's not even get into the inability to play a Force wielder), then they start dicking around with my account without my permission.
Oh well. If you can't beat 'em, use 'em and leave 'em ... again. I'll see y'all in Star Wars Galaxies next week. ;)
