[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 2645387, member: 14159"] No they didn't. . . The large number of "Sticky" threads on the WotC forums was bogging down the servers, so each board consolidated to a single sticky post which was a directory of important threads, the Petition thread is linked from the sticky at the top of the "Mess Hall" main Star Wars forum. That and WizO_the_Hutt, one of the two mods for that board still links to the petition in his own signature. WotC knows there is demand for Star Wars RPG product. GM Sarli (aka WizO_the_Hutt) has taken the time to point out to WotC every time an OOP SWRPG book sells for an outrageous sum on eBay, and while he has said he's bound by NDA's and the like, he can say that from his discussion with higher-ups, they know there is a strong demand for the product, it's all a matter of finances. So, keep the faith folks, while things are grim now, they've been far grimmer for Star Wars roleplaying in the past (like say, circa 1999). WotC will go back to the RPG when they think it will be the most profitable course of action they can take, for now the minis are making more money. Part of me thinks, how much new "crunch" do we need? Other than some clone wars/Episode III material, we've got the basic mechancs for just about everything Star Wars, with loads upon loads of PrC's and Feats. For setting info, they still make the Essential Guides and other non-gaming sourcebooks, which can be easily used. Yes, some rules could use revision, but that's always the case. Enjoy the game, have fun, try and drum up support, keep WotC aware of the demand, keep playing, and wait for its return. [/QUOTE]
