I still talk about the old days of SWG!!!!

To me, that was the big difference between SWG and the other MMOs, things actually happened in SWG that was entirely community driven, so we all had stories. It wasn't farming and looting and PvP with no stakes. It was one story after another, all fitting into a larger world, built more or less by everyone.

Then they changed the game and canceled Firefly.

Ugh, I miss that game(and Firefly). I'm still in touch with my guild, though I haven't gamed with any of them in six or seven years(and I watch Castle). Still waiting for something good to come out so we can all get back in...make some new stories.

In the end, SWG was original with never ending possibilities. Everything now is just a cookie cutter WoW copy and in my opinion, wow is crap in comparison, but since the have millions of subscribers, every company thinks oh, if we make the game a complete grind and limit possibilities, we will make boat loads of money. Makes me wish swg never had the CU and NGE and that they had millions of customs. Not only would it still be alive today but then all those other MMO's would be copying them.

These posts make me miss SWG

SWTOR arrives soon though!

I wonder where to start. I'm sure all of us original players have reminisced back to the beginning of our swg play experiences.

Ill never forget getting my first hovercar because running around everywhere took so damn long. The John Williams score accompanied me on all of my driving adventures. Racing across Tat at about 1.75 x normal speed felt like I was flying so I was able to go places if never been before and hey what's that? Wtf? Omg! A krayt just killed my car... Then me... I shall get my revenge!

TKM in a day, head bash ftw! Watch their mind bar vanish, go ahead, stand up, Ill just do it again.

Hey a Nightsister bracer, that's neat... Lemme sell it for some cash, DOH! Never got another one.

Master Armorsmith comp/RIS crafting for my bankroll.

Man I bored, hey theres lots of people in mos espa cantina time to do a little entertaining, not bored anymore.

"Mintysandwich, dance dance everybody look at my pants" Desik Ellekoi, I miss you Mike J. !!!

Hey so now whats this? Im a jedi! Those trials took so damn long!!! Why are there only 4 birds on naboo, Im gonna have to hire some scouts to drive around spotting for me. John Williams to the rescue, it's 10pm and some spare change, meditate here DA DA DAAAAAA! Gratz ur a jedi! What? Serious? Sweeeeeeeeeet! Stereo full blast, neighbors complaining turn off that SW music, bah if only they knew.

Revenge time. Soloing krayt graveyard and making a killing on pearls and donning a full tusken suit making me really stand out as a jedi. Thanks yahoo mail for deleting my account after inactivity, you made me lose the only screenshots left after a computer crash.

I loved it til cu, then fthis im going WoW. Hey this is cool, but not nearly as fun to me, im going back, ok I can ADJUST to this, wait what do you mean theres gonna be nge!?? Ugh WHAT????? How could you do this to me? wheres my CH? TKM? Where are my friends and their classes? Why is every noob a jedi? So I get to turn blue!? Thats what I get for my unlock? Im so done with this! I hate you soe for letting Torres near your approval department.

Im depressed, I guess ill settle for WoW again.

Enough of the asides, but seriously, original SWG pre update 15 or so was one of the best games thatwas ever made. Since I get the chance to personally say thank you to the developers and have them hear my heartfelt sincerity, I hope you know your efforts and work helped me have a very happy and enjoyable section of my life. I mourned, and to this day still mourn, but fondly look back watching youtube videos of precu players to fill the gap created by the death of swg.

But on the bright side, playing it 16 hours a day on weekends and only 8 during the week after work and costing me a relationship in the meantime allowed me to get myself back in line and find a great woman to marry me. SWG gave me ups and downs, more ups than downs, but helped bring me to where I am today. Without it, I wouldnt be living the life I am now and for that im ultimately thankful.

Devs, add more game content, I will happily buy more platinum from you since now I know who it's going to.

You make me sad, I miss the game preCU

If someone know a good EMU alternative, you can PM me ...

skyron, i had found a website that only accepts about 10 people a day that had cloned the original mob spawn coding on swg and they keep the game open for players to enjoy the game pre-cu. sadly they erase all data every 3 to 4 months and are now in the process of doing that which is why i signed up but never went through with playing. Also, I knew that if i started, i'd just sit there probably crying at my monitor for hours endlessly knowing it's not the REAL thing and it's just a fix for me emotionally. I deleted the favorite in my explorer to keep me away from them just in case and have kicked myself like mad for that... HOWEVER...

if you play Second Life... guess what, there's a REALLY dedicated fanbase from swg there and they've cloned many cities and deserts of tattooine even the mobs. Since the world of Second Life isnt made to be coded specifically FOR killing/levelling rpg style it does have an adaptive coding infrastructure and allows players to make the game the way they want it...

if you launch the game and search for SWG you will find these zones. currently i had to stop playing because I made myself 2 characters, one a jedi with multiple lightsabers and another who's a BH with flamethrower, missiles, on wrist target guidance hologram map, etc. everything is customizeable once you get it and i spent HOURS!!! killing the womp rats outside espa in second life in order to get enough xp to level up a bit then i equipped my WORKING! jetpack and blasted my way into an imperial base where about 15 guys (real people) were overt and flew up to the top of the building. they called in some shock troopers and told me to leave or be arrested and they tried to get me, but my ability to kill them as they climbed the stairs to get to the top then just fly to the bottom with my jetpack really got under their skin. sadly they had a cloning facility inside so they kept coming and they locked me inside so i actually had to secede to their demands and allow them to handcuff me and be brough in front of their council head before they would allow me to leave.

they are real RPGers there and kinda got really p'd off at me for busting into their base, but being good imps they tried to recruit me since I would have been an asset, i simply waited for them to unlock the station's doors then ran out and dumped my gear and began dancing in the cantina while they went searching for a Mando set wearing BH instead of a hotpants wearing ent.

man that makes me want to log back into it again. i wanna see my zabrak DJK use some force lightning on peeps and then force push them across the screen.

I just take a look at SWGEmu I will reinstall to play on liberator.

See ya

You guys are total nerds.



But that's okay. Being a nerd is cool nowadays. Never played it, but I am a Star Wars fan. Sounds like something you can get addicted to.

[StompArtist]

You guys are total nerds.

If I may be blunt: The act of posting and reading message boards about a video game does make one a nerd.

Google swgemu and enjoy

If you were lucky enough to have played SWG before the CU and NGE, what server were you on and what was your profession?

I played a Bothan Jedi on the Scylla server named Mulholland.

Ataho - Human Jedi Knight on the Kettemoor server. Wrote the archived Jedi Guide "Ataho's Guide to Jedi Crafting" & curated a ressource index post for Jedi crafting.

I was a teras kasi/smuggler that delt faction points to both sides on Bria before I had to pick a side. Was great fun, I could go out and solo just about anything that did not require a jedi knight as long as I had doc and food buffs. Made me so mad when they revamped everything. Also had a Nova filled with the best parts I could find. A smuggler has to have an awesome ship, right?

You guys do realize this is a 5 month old thread???

Threads can last alongggggg time

You guys do realize this is a 5 month old thread???

Are you mad that we bumped down the spam? Heh, it's the OT section anyway...

Best part of teras kasi/smuggler: Last Ditch, Feign death, run away and meditate. Not to mention I didn't need armor.

Oh yeah, I played Planetside also. Loved that game before the giant robots. Epic battles on the Ceryshen bridge. OS'ing the Vpads. Liberator runs over tank convoys. Last second resecures, lots of those. Yes, PS and SWG were both EPIC before all the whiners forced all of the changes. Surgile FTW!

[Bgandyful]

I too loved SWG....before these guys left.After,It went down hill.
