Star Wars Galaxies (SWG)

SWGEmu reaches 1.0, is feature complete pre-combat upgrade. Neat.

We found our forum wide replacement for The Heroes Journey

wait there's no server?

wait there's no server?

From my understanding, no. The devs were working on building a version of SWG, but they were not running a public server. Other people take that code and use it to create servers, but those people are sticking to their versions rather than wiping people's progress/resetting or splitting their communities by launching a new server where people don't want to leave the stuff they have built up behind.

[buttfucker 3000]

As a kid I remember wanting to play SWG after seeing an ad for it, but never could because i forgot the name and never saw the ad again.

Funny video. A favorite of mine. Still doesn't change the unappealing chore the actual game is.

[rusty_shackleford]

SWGEmu runs their own server(Finalizer) AFAIK

[Vergil]

I'll play if I can get a set of either stormtrooper or mandalorian armor without 157000 hours of grinding.

I could never get into it. I tried, I really did and I could understand those who enjoyed the whole "trading" aspect of the game, but I guess I just had EQ brain and couldn't adapt to it.

"SWG is so cool because all the stores are player owned!"
Okay... but why would I want that....

[Val the Moofia Boss]

Because there are some people who fantasize about being a moisture farmer or running a droid store.

If your ultimate fantasy is being a NPC trash vendor in an MMO you need to be put in the mines.

[Val the Moofia Boss]

Look at these concept arts for shops for Galaxy's Edge. These look pretty cozy and cool. Wouldn't you like to own that shop and be respected amongst the people of town, rather than work at a cubicle at some ugly brutalist company where you don't own anything and nobody cares about your work?

It's actually neater than it sounds because it has one of the better harvesting systems in any MMO where all the resources have different properties/quality levels, and you can't just farm one area because there's limited amounts of resources and they move around and stuff.

Wow so I have to run around a horrible looking outdated empty overworld collecting mats like every other MMO? I'm so excited!

You pay other people to do that. Or have your guildies do it while you are milling back at the shop.

If you're having to out source the gameplay to other people because its so boring maybe it sucks

[Vergil]

I don't need to pay people to play Devil May Cry for me! Its just fun and enjoyable to do!

[Vergil]

So is anyone actually playing this?

Notice the silence

So is anyone actually playing this?

We would have to decide whether we would want to play Legends (largest server, post NGE) or Restoration (second largest server, is pre CU).
