There's noone to make them anymore. The guy that wrote the story for the past nine chapters, his contract expired and wasn't renewed. He was also conveniently the guy who drew the cinematics after the in-game cinematic makers were fired.


Edit: But you can read this thread for info on 10.1. That's where the picture for the 10.1 "cinematic" came from.

Folks, if you look, you'll see that there is a link to Cinematic 10.1 in the ingame cinematic browser, along with a screen shot.  Either SOE is  throwing us a curve and doesn't ever plan on posting the cinematic, or there are a bunch of people that are starting useless rumors.

As far as I remember, Paul Chadwick did the STORYBOARDS and storyline, and SOE had their animators put it together.  Rarebit has been writing the story himself for quite some time, I think--so the cinematics live on.

Er, don't you pay attention to the news? These aren't rumours. The cinematics are gone. No more cinematics. The fact that there is a link to Cinematic 10.1 is a bug.

The cinematics are gone due to budget reasons however, not because Chadders is gone.

The link in game is named as "Chapter 10.1" not "Cinematic 10.1". Rarebit said that the play button was supposed to be disabled, but there's a bug and it's not working correctly. Hmm, I should be able to find the post somewhere.

Aha, here it is.

There is a link to it yes but it does definitely say Chapter and not cinematic

Can someone please at least post the picture that comes up when you mouse over the Chapter 10.1 button?  When I click on it to at least look at the pic more closely I get the blank square that you get when your browser shows an offline pic.

As Rarebit explained its a bug and the button to the chapter 10.1 was supposed to be greyed out.

You know that the images are all stored on your PC right? Just go into your game files, then open the "resource" folder, then "cinematics" and they're all there SMILEY

Ahh... don't you just love the air of optimism. As long as Rarebit continues to write the story and people play, the game won't shut down. I'd even hazard that if the story gets finished (think we still have a least another years worth actually written with hopefully more after) they'll still keep it open.
