Fight to save SGR!!

I sitting here thinking to myself that there HAS to be something we can do to keep SGR and not let it fade away.

I don't know what we can do but if anyone has any ideas that you'd like to share please post them here.I really want to help save this game.

LONG LIVE SGR!!

Someone with an unbelievable amount of cash offer 4x the value of every asset and, then, burn them and laugh.

Right?

You could make a petition and have as many people as you can sign it and then call/email someone from MGM about it and tell them to make a way to keep the game going.

everyone could start bombarding mgm and cme with mail, email and phone calls showing our support and desire for sgr and other stargate products. this is a familiar practice for star trek fans, i still have paramount and cedar fair in my speed dial.

the mgm info is definitely correct but i'm not so sure about some of the cme info, it's kinda hard to figure out where cme ends and firesky begins, and sending anything to firesky would be pointless.
i do have two more addresses, one of which i believe to be the server location, but posting that info would likely result in this post getting deleted.

i couldn't find any direct contact info for gary whiting, i really didn't look too hard, but i'm sure it's out there. gw (personally) and mgm are where any contact should be directed. i would assume that he does want to do something with the assets since he fought to get it back, and he might be more inclined to try if he knew people would give him money. i know i would buy sgr again from him if necessary.

and before anyone throws a rope over a tree and tries to find my address, consider this. perhaps you consider him evil and don't want to give him money, but really we give thousands to evil companies every year. comcast is evil, verizon is evil, directv is evil to a lesser extent, etc, etc. they don't care at all about individual customers, they'll tell their employees to hang up on you if you ask for any leeway, they'll take your last dollar and charge an extra fee for the privilege. if i wanted to give my money to companies that care, i'd have cricket, t-mobile, dish, etc, but i want the best, so i go with the worst, so to speak. they've got what we need, just like gw now has what we need. the question is, can we get him to give it (sell it) to us?

anyways, desperate times call for desperate measures, so have at it...

As you know Millions of Dollars go into this game, when less than 20 people are online. I understand your frustration that your favorite game will be shut down but, you have to move on, just like in life. I'm sure theirs something else the world that you will find interesting, besides playing SGR. Stay in contact with your friends and stuff, as we all know, their is no SGR without the players. Looking at this situation at a business prospective, It would be a waste of money,attempting to pay a large amount of money for licenses and rights, just for the enjoyment of less than 20 people. It's just common sense.

as above, keeping this going cost millions. Even if all of us put in $10,000 we still would be some way short of buying the licence.

Well there is 50 odd days left, lets see what happens?

Let's try to make a petition to save it, we have to be as many as possible to sign it, is anybody of you knows how to create that ? at least we can try and see what's going on, that's the minimum we could try to do !!!

hehe, told ya that counter would be interesting

We were a lot more ppl to save Tabula Rasa when Richard Garriot and NCSoft decided to let it die ... Its still dead. And sorry, but in my eyes TR has been the better game.

I don't understand didn't the license expired the 16th? What are they counting here then? The days before the game cannot be played anymore anywhere? What?

The days until the servers are shut down.

That's horrible! If this was a service that 10s of thousands used instead of 20 or less I'm certain it would not be happening.

What the h*ll man, I go to Egypt for two months and when I come back SGR gets shut down?

Here's a petition that is actually going on, for all the one who wanna sign it

Well I joined but there is only 15 people there and I never even had the chance to buy the game as much as I wanted too.

MGM Worldwide Television Distribution
2500 Broadway Street, Santa Monica, CA 90404-3065

If memory serves, this is the address SG-1 fans targeted to try and save SG-1 after it’s cancellation. The primary corporate officer we need to reach out to is Charles Cohen, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Cohen is a well known Stargate fan, credited for the franchise’s success, and he even put in a cameo role in Stargate Atlantis. Remember the silent, smiling gentleman at the poker table in ‘Vegas’? That was him! If anyone is going to pay any attention to our pleas, it will be Mr. Cohen.

After extensive searching, I could not find a site specifically for MGM Interactive, nor could I find any mentions of it on MGM’s main site or any names specifically associated with it. Not to be deterred, I went back to Gateworld.net’s first reports about CME and Stargate Words and found one name that we must target:

Travis Rutherford, Executive Vice President of MGM Interactive

Secondary Targets are:

Steven Hendry, Senior Executive Vice President, Finance

Bedi A. Singh, President, Finance and Administration & Chief Financial Officer

Stephen F. Cooper, Vice Chairman

Harry E. Sloan, Chairman

Mary Parent, Chairperson for Worldwide Motion Picture Group

Since there is no guarantee that we can reach the people we are after at 2500 Broadway Street, this is a viable second and third addresses at which they could be found:

MGM Studios Corporation Purchasing
240 Broadway Street, Santa Monica, CA 90401

MGM
10250 Constellation Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90067

Snail Mail will have the most impact, but you can also write to this email:

When we write, we need to explain our position while making it clear that we understand their position. This is the best way to get them to listen – by showing them that we are well informed. If you are having trouble figuring out what to write, you can take our version, or modify it. Just remember to keep it professional. Earning respect could go a long way.

Dear ___________________,

I am a fan of the Stargate franchise and customer of Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment’s game, Stargate Resistance. I recently learned of the plan to shut down the game on January 15th, 2011, due to lack of a Licensing Agreement between MGM and CME. Stargate fans have been waiting a long time for a video game to come out. I am aware that Resistance was primarily created in an attempt to gain the funds needed to complete the production of Stargate Worlds. I am also painfully aware that without Stargate Resistance Stargate Worlds may never be completed, and the franchise may forever be without a video game. Resistance may not have lived up to expectations with regard to consumer demand, but this is due to a lack of advertising, not a lack of quality. I respectfully ask that you give Stargate Resistance more time to prove its worth. The developers deserve the chance to finish their work, and the fans deserve the chance to play the game we have waited so long for. We see the value of the game and many have expressed a willingness to pay more money to keep playing the game in the future. At the very least, allow the servers to remain operational and sales continue while MGM is in the midst of its financial negotiations. Once past that challenge, everyone may again see that having any Stargate video game is better than having none at all.

Thank you,

Sincerely,

All the more reason for you to join! I am convinced that more than half the problem was a lack of advertising. Think about it. We all saw commercials for Stargate Worlds while new Stargate episodes were premiering on SyFy, right? How many of you saw an ad for SGR? No one, because there was never any advertising! How dumb is that? Worlds didn't even have a release date, and it wasn't even close to being done, but MGM spent a ton of money on a long fancy commercial for it, complete with voice overs! SGR got zip! Just before the end was announce I had a fellow Stargate fan on twitter ask me what SGR was. She hadn't heard of it. What does that tell you?

We need to tell MGM that they did a lousey job capitalizing on SGR, and there are tons of fans out there who would have loved the game if they had known about it. So sign the petition, write some letters and some emails, and pass the word out to every Stargate fan you can find! You could still get the chance to buy and play the game if we can show MGM that it's worth it!

yea sucks!!

sorry i never got back with you, hope you had a good time there. been really busy ,suck i have not even been playing and now i feel like i lost a lot of time on the game i will never be able to get back.

but still want to discuss some Egypt stuff with one of these days.

Maybe better idea is petiotion about private server.

Hey guys, we all need to hop on Gateworld.net asap. The comments about the game after they reported on it's downfall are terrible. Most appear to have been made by people who spent little or not time actually playing the game. MGM pays attention to GW, and all this negative feedback is BAD for our hopes that MGM will renew the license. We all need to get over there and start explaining that we love the game and we don't want to see it go!
