Motovator Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Good edits. The sheer vastness and open wilderness of the game made it phenomenal. My first Jedi kill is up in my top 3 favorite MMO moments ever for sure. Sneaking up on him while he was grinding on Dantooine. Silly Jedi. Man I miss hunting Jedi so much. I collected my first bounty off a Jedi who was in Mos Eisley Cantina role playing with some dancers... Lol I was cracking up for hours. I remember it sucked when you spent hours sometimes tracking one down only to find they are in the middle of nowhere on some planet afk in their house.... good times.

thermium Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) It's been a long time since I've played it, I miss everything about it I really liked the sandbox. But I don't really think about it when playing Star Wars: The Old Republic, pretend it's sandbox lol Edited March 2, 2014 by thermium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neorat Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I don't see why you all miss it so much when you can play it now .. as of this writing I'm waiting on a batch flame throwers so my alt can slice em. Aye it is not complete and there is no JTL (yet) but still I have yet to be disappointed. Jedi are disabled atm for further development/testing, but Hydian Way are running their own server with Jedi enabled. Though I should warn you .. if you play SWG emu you will miss SWTOR lol. Just flip flop between the games .. depending what your in the mood for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSRB Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I played SWG at launch until the CU. I had a lot of fond memories, but I also remember other things too: A near complete lack of any sort of story content. Grossly overpowered buffs that enabled players to solo content meant for a group of 20. Every enemy racing up to melee despite the existence of blasters. Recursive macros that enabled people to level a character wihtout ever actually playing the character. PVP being forced on huge numbers of unwilling participants who simply wanted to engage in the core Star Wars fantasy of being a Jedi. Let's not forget that the NGE didn't happen because SOE and LA somehow "got greedy" but because they'd driven away over 850k of the million people who purchased the game and were bleeding subs at a rate of 15k per month. SWG was fun, but extremely broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallorik Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 It was so long ago I don't remember my char names but I think my server was wanderhome and another one I cant remember. The one and only thing I miss from swg is Jump to Light Speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMaulUK Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I played at launch on a US server from the UK - Eclipse was my original home - Biere was my toon selling Stry'kers weapons from my store on Tatooine. Engaging every night in battles between Bestine and Anchorhead. Good times. Rolled on Infinity when Euro got servers - a Bounty Hunter Wyatt Earp. Set up a big guild on Taris I think which was pretty big (Order 66) stayed until NGE and used to run swgalaxies.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWG was fun, but extremely broken. I left SWG early too. Joined at launch and was gone within six months. I think the tipping point for me happened when I was working my way up the trees to actually become a Smuggler and realized "Hey, wait a minute! Why am I doing this when there's not actually any SMUGGLING for me to do when I get these trees filled in?" It didn't take long after that for me to actually leave, delete the game and toss the discs. I went back to Ultima Online and stayed there until I got hooked on City of Heroes. Now I'm here. So, yeah, I have more nostalgia for UO than I do for SWG. Never felt like I was wasting my time in UO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
