Turns out my Java TA was a lead Dev on SOE's DCUO...I told him that he worked for a soul-less company and he proceeded to agree with me (He knew I was a former SWG player). He was also a QA for Darksiders Just thought you guys would like to know how my life is going.

I go to University of Missouri Columbia (Mizzou), he was just a QA (Quality Assistent?) he was basiclly a debugger. He worked with the Studio but was let go after that game (Gaming Companys normally hire QAs for a single game then only keep 2 out of 50 or so to work on future projects)

Oh, right. SWG (Star Wars Galaxy) was one of SOE's first MMOs back in the day, they did a great job working on it, it was a great game, kinda like a GTA version of Star Wars (think able to do anything you wanted, Join the Empire, Be a Bounty Hunter, build a city, be a politician, attempt to undergo Jedi Training), and then one day they randomly put out an update that got rid of all of that to introduce classes and removed Jedi Training to make it a starting class...80% of the player base quits, and they keep on going with random updates like that until it hardly had over 10,000 players 3mill to 10,000 in only about 3 years....yeah, it was the players fault for not being able to adjust to the updates SOE can go die in a hole for all I care ._. Look up the Wiki page for Star Wars Galaxies if you want a more detailed event list (Their Jedi System back then was insta death...as in, if you unlocked Jedi (which took YEARS to do) and died 3 times you had to reroll....such good memories)

Funny thing with SoE...I played SWG a bit myself (unfortunately, after all the shitty updates), as well as Everquest and Everquest II. Unlike with Rift/Trion I've quit nearly every SoE game I've put 1-3 years of effort into b/c their devs always quit and join better companies. >.>
