heh I guess congratz are in order Now, if you hurry up and finish that new book, I’m sure you’ll have some revenue for all your music making. Have a good one.

Can’t wait to see what you do for your next project. I’m sure alot of the old SWG community will be following your progress.

Congrats on your independence! It’s funny, because I said to a colleague about two years ago that I imagined you’d probably be happier off working on a renegade project, rather than being all big-corporate. I’m glad to see that you’re getting that chance. I, for one, won’t ask what in the world you’re working on, because silence seems to be de rigeur for this generation of projects. Everyone has learned their lessons about too much hype too soon.

Thanks for this Lobosolitario,

I know about Emulator but including me, not many people will play on an emulator if this ever comes out. SWGemu’s supporters only hope is; if it ever comes, maybe SOE will put some “Classic” servers.

Curtis,

If you look at Darniaq’s Blog, you’ll find a post about a SWG Emulator project. As the post says, it’s A)Probably a hoax and B)Has absolutely no chance of getting round SOE legal team. More interesting, though, are the comments towards the end, about returning to old-school SWG. I know that they’re accurate for me, and they may well be accurate for you – sometimes things are best just left as fond memories.

Grats Raph. Weird when something that’s taken up years of your life just ends, isn’t it? Ah well, now anything is possible for you

And what about CU? It’s most likely still there but SOE just disabled.

The NDA runs pretty near interminably. That doesn’t mean there aren’t questions I can answer, however.

are any of these those questions?

Who owns Pre-CU codes? I really want to know because we still have hopes for your “good ol’ game”

And can you tell us, is it possible to revert SWG back to CU or Pre-CU? And does SOE have any plans?

and a note on another discussion going here. unfortunately when you are defined by your industry it is usually because you have changed it or are well known in it. and when you step outside it people become uncomfortable with it, like actors in politics.

I feel I’m far less qualified to comment on the quality of someone’s guitar or poetry than I am on their work on computer games. And although I’m a writer myself, poetry never really interested me beyond very simplistic forms. I can apprecaite the poetry of words, but trying to convey ideas through poetry often seems to me like trying to paint ceiling of the Sistine Chapel with only a toothpick. Yeah, you could DO it, but why deliberately make it harder on yourself?

I wrote a poem when I was five, and I’ve written a few song lyrics, which to me are very different from poetry since they rely heavily on melody to make them work. I do wish I could write music; I hope someday computer AI is advanced enough that I can just sing a few bars of what’s in my head and it’ll automatically fill in the rest.

Hey Raph, let me say that I had some friends who worked at Sony and they all thought you were really wasting your talent there.

That place was a chaotic nursery for junior developers.

Anyways, let me agree with Prokofy. Hopefully you start doing some serious things now

Cool, as you talk about SOE, Raph

Who owns Pre-CU codes? I really want to know because we still have hopes for your “good ol’ game”

And can you tell us, is it possible to revert SWG back to CU or Pre-CU? And does SOE have any plans?

Great news! Hey, if you’re in New York City still, let me buy you a drink.
: )

Now, you’re going to go and do real stuff instead of games?
