And to make it obvious, it's Sunday afternoon. And I'm going through the forums, much like I do every day. If it weren't important, I would be here nearly as much.

I didn't say they don't count, I said that they're great for some things, others, not so much. What you get on the forums are often the most passionate, and passion tends to express itself as hyperbole.

Billions and billions of tons of hyperbole. :-)

More instance is going in for 1.3. The new French capital (which is jaw dropping) took a huge amount of work, so we're postponing the Spanish capital to get some more maps in.

And yes, we're discussing better loot.

I think, like CoH, we focused on delivering a solid core. Unlike CoH, we have a lot of changes that will be coming fairly regularly.

Can you guys log a support ticket and post the number here?

We can all feel frustration at times, so no problem. Are you still experiencing lag? We have one more big fix coming in 1.2, where we change how our UDP traffic works (should make things better for people with routers that aren't so good about UDP) but other than that, we should have fixed the lag problem that got introduced by the power failure a week ago.

/sits down and starts going through the messages.

If you haven't seen a mail message from me by today, please post here.

It seemed like a good idea at the time? :-)

We're increasing DB drops dramatically in 1.2.

"Too much" being operative. The goal is to a) raise it enough that you're making reasonable money to stay in PvP, and b) to provide special PvP bonuses that rich merchants want, so they move their money into the people playing PvP

DB drops are being raised significantly in 1.2. Are you guys seeing the dev logs we're putting out?

I don't think it's the same issue. It wasn't SWG's bugs or tuning problems that caused people not to give it another try in the future, it's because (IMHO) it presented a fundamentally non-Star Wars experience, which no amount of changes seemed like it would address.
