That's not good news. Always sad to hear about people losing their jobs. The news story also made a note that none of the layoffs were WoW related. Blizzard may be cutting back on other games. So I'm not seeing the WoW killer angle here.

To: Darth Savanter From: Deputy Secretary, Imperial Distribution and Supplies (Executive Branch) Re: A suggestion My lord, Our staff enjoyed your recent visit. We trust that your injuries were not too severe. I deeply regret that I was unable to meet with you personally, but what with the gear up towards the resumption of our proactive peace program with the Republic and my normal duties, my time is pretty well filled up leaving me little to no time for unscheduled visitors. I will, however, pass along your comments regarding the effectiveness and durability of our blast shield grade doors. They are manufactured in house and our staff take great pride in their quality. Your comments will gratify them no end. As for your furniture, we have explored every channel. While I am hesitant to predict the future, I can say with some confidence that you should, barring any unforeseen events, receive it well within the next two centuries. Our problem is that while the turnover amongst Sith lords is quite high so also is the breakage. We are forbidden by Imperial proscript from using anyone other than one manufacturer for repair, acquisition or replacement of furniture for persons of your rank. And for whatever reason we haven't received any product from the manufacturer for the past three centuries. We have appealed to the Emperor, but his time is extremely valuable and he has not considered our appeal yet. I am confident that whatever decision he reaches when he does so consider it will answer all of your concerns. Unfortunately, we have had no word as to when, if ever, that may happen. We would appreciate it if you would add your weight to our appeal. It may make all the difference. Failing that, your only alternative would be to take your concerns up with the manufacturer. Attached please find an Imperial birthday holocron of the Emperor. Glory to the Emperor! Egret Reconcil Deputy Secretary, IDAS(EB) cc: Gart Pronsul, ISPAS Tarexchaco, Inc (GR) HGFT(sdg)

Everytime I use ' '

Not steal y'alls thunder, but there are quite a few of us from Infinity over on Canderous Ordo.

OP you are right. But you are fighting human nature. Every game forum since the beginning of computer games has had disgruntled people, whining, moaning and complaining about every possible issue and several impossible ones. The Meridian 59 boards were filled with these apostles of doom (back then they were apostles of DOOM, the id game). Every game since has been similar. The best you can hope for is for the signal (guides, helpful posts and legitimate complaints) to noise (the aforesaid whining and moaning) ratio to stay somewhat favourable.

To: Darth Savanter From: Deputy Secretary, Imperial Distribution and Supplies (Executive Branch) Re: Customer service My lord, You are always welcome at our offices. Any or all of our 247 customer service combat droids would be more than happy to help you with your complaint. Please bring copies of all of our correspondence, your official requisition forms and your designation of next of kin and I am certain all your concerns with this office will be resolved. Glory to the Emperor! Egret Reconcil Deputy Secretary, IDAS(EB) cc: IDoFS(DCD) IBPA(ddd)

This thread is rather disappointing. Huge difference between racist and raciest. I'm kinda against the first and for the second.

To: Darth Savanter From: Deputy Secretary, Imperial Distribution and Supplies (Executive Branch) Re: An explanation My lord, It is with profound regret that I tender to you this department's deepest apologies. But, as I have explained before, we are bound by Imperial law and regulations. When you denounced Darth Balkana as a traitor, we were all shocked, of course. But the resulting combat damaged all of her exquisite office furniture. You are not allowed to use damaged furniture. We have every confidence that Imperial Security will reach the right result in their investigation of her treachery. Had the furniture been merely scuffed we could have repaired it expeditiously here and returned it to you by next quarter, which is exceptionally speedy, you must agree. As it now stands, the furniture was damaged so badly we had to return it to the manufacturer for salvage. Tarexchaco, Inc. is a reputable firm and should have your executive chair in full repair shortly. By way of apology I am enclosing a souvenir holocron of our beloved Ruler. Glory to the Emperor!

"Cool Whip isn't as slick as you'd think"

MarySue Skywalker-Organa is the the prettiest, perkiest, peppiest, sweetest and all around most adorable Jedi in the whole known galaxy. She was born to royal, yet humble parents who gave her everything they possibly could, including her Jedi unicorn 'Bobbi Fett'. MarySue and pastel rainbow coloured Bobbi Fett always have many exciting adventures that always resolve with people growing wiser and becoming more understanding. MarySue's personal motto is: "You may not always serve the Light Side, but you can always look on the Bright Side!" The Emperor has issued kill on sight by any means orders for MarySue. She doesn't understand why.

A Consular's Lot (With apologies to Sir W. S. Gilbert) When a Sith Lord's not engaged in his employment Or maturing his nefarious little plans. His capacity for innocent enjoyment, Is just as great as any honest man's Our feelings we with difficulty smother When consulary's duty's to be done: Ah, take one consideration with another, A consular's lot is not a happy one! When the enterprising raider isn't raiding, When the Black Sun isn't occupied in crime, He loves to see the pink sunsets a-fading, And listen to the merry temple chime. When the rakghoul's finished jumping on his mother, He loves to lie a-basking in the sun: Ah, take one consideration with another, The consular's lot is not a happy one!

Raising my paw in support of a little Linux help. Running the game under WINE would be very lovely. Of course my fantasy is to run it natively, but I have a very active imagination...

I'm rather fond of smut, at times and when it's properly labelled. I'm even more fond of good writing.

I've only been in the one guild, but we're of a type you haven't mentioned. We all reunited here at SWTOR. The core of my guild were guildies in another game and we migrated here. Since then we've added assorted friends and such. So we're the type of guild you didn't mention. A guild of friends. Some of us are more dedicated than others, but we all like each other and we all play well together. My advice to you is that you deliberately found a guild that reflects what you want in a guild. If there are as many unguilded players as you say looking for a home, then start recruiting.

As the topic line reads: "You know you have 2 classes that no one plays right?" , the OP is perfectly correct. There are at least two classes that are typically misplayed. Unfortunately the OP's post makes it clear that what what he was asking was: "You know you have 2 classes that no one plays, right?" which isn't really very accurate. It's an 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' problem. /grammar nazi

I have seven characters in game. None of them are the same. I love playing each of them. Until... I read the class forums and find out how much each class is really ineffective and useless. Except for the smuggler. For whatever reason the smuggler subforum is generally an affirming and pleasant place. Apparently smugglers are uber. Who knew?

To: Darth Savanter From: Deputy Secretary, Imperial Distribution and Supplies (Executive Branch) Re: A suggestion My lord, I understand your feelings when Darth Morosa inherited her former master's furnishings. He did indeed have a lovely chair. And she is lower than you on the priority list. But what happened with her is in accordance with both Imperial tradition and our regulations. Darth Morosa poisoned her former master's tea. She then laid out the full extent of his treason before the Council. Under the circumstances she received his executive chair, rolltop desk, executive meeting table and occasional furniture complete with sofa, loveseat and eight board chairs as a reward for her patriotism. You ascended to executive status by peaceful means. By way of commiseration I am enclosing a souvenir holocron of our beloved Ruler. Glory to the Emperor!

@Meluna, Kabjat and Greywatch, thank you very much!

I enjoyed the music in the movie very much.

I don't sub anymore. I mostly switch or domme.

Carrot sticks, celery with celery salt (I'm the only middle aged person under orders to eat more salt), water (tap), and pickles. If you read the label, you can find kosher dills w/o calories.

There's a thread like this over in the Smuggler area and it's such a lovely idea. What song do you hear whenever you think of your Knight? What song best represents your Knight's character? For my Guardian it has to be Sophia by the Cruxshadows.

To: Darth Savanter From: Deputy Secretary, Imperial Distribution and Supplies (Executive Branch) Re: Good news My lord, I have excellent news! One of junior members of our department has made a discovery that affects you directly. It seems that when the Emperor classified all available office furnishings by rank he left unclassified one item, which is therefore available to all members of the Imperial bureaucracy regardless of rank. It is with great pleasure I take pride in assuring you that your new Bantha milking stool should arrive in the next week. In honour of this achievement, I am enclosing a celebratory holocron of our beloved Ruler. Glory to the Emperor! Egret Reconcil Deputy Secretary, IDAS(EB) cc: ISSS(CYA) HCS
