OK, out of boredom I gave Star wars galaxies a try since I was always curious about it.  I just subscribed for a month after completing my 2 week trial.  Just wondering, does anyone play this?  Let me know.  my character is Jonet Danew.

Die. Kthx.

I played that before I got into MxO, had a short stint with it for a week some time ago after they did the whole revamp thing. Its just another reason SoE needs to die.

I'm not saying its amazing, but its just like the first time you entered MxO.  The matrix atmosphere, working to meet important characters, the first time you hyperjump.  I'm enjoying that sort of thing.  Just earned my lightsaber.  So I'm enjoying the Star Wars atmosphere mainly.  A lot of cool shit with the variety of vehicles and ability to build just about anything, and own a home.  Makes me realize just how lacking MxO indeed was.

What server are you on Adad?  I have a level 40- or 50- something on the Shadowfire server.

I'd need to re-sub, though.  And re-download too.  I have all the expansions, and some pretty bad ass (at least I think they're bad ass) items.

I have an SWG account but I'm not subb'd atm.

Wait for Star Wars: The Old Republic... it looks fucking sweet and it's only pre-beta! www.swtor.com

I've gotta agree with Sared 1000%.  I Played this game from the first few hours on launch day up until they did their first major overhaul.  You think its amazing because it is a new experience and you didn't see what it was upon original release.  

Sure there were some bugs on release, but this was the first and only MMO I've played to date that had the feel of a real living, breathing online world/society.  The economy wasn't perfect, but it worked.  The crafting system was amazing and relied hevily on interaction with other skills because you had to rely on others with mining/hunting/and other crafting skills to supply materials and parts needed to craft your goods.  You could own shops to sell what you made or for others to sell what they made.  The wilderness was actually dangerous to travel alone populated heavily with creatures of all kinds....dangerous and not.  The world was populated with many people at all hours of the night.  ....even some of the smaller cities.  Cantinas were actually very fun to go to hang out and socialize with other players.  

Although there were complaints of it not being "star warsy" enough I felt my character existed in a real world.

The thing that made me hate SOE was when they screwed up the whole Jedi thing.  Originally it was a mystery as to what it took to unlock path to becoming a Jedi.  This is true to the Star Wars history.  No one could just choose to become a Jedi.  There was actually some mystery to that whole idea.

Overall, SWG has been dumbed down almost to idiocy.  I will never play it again.  Which is a shame because if they had simply improved what was bugged or broken from the original release and added to that, I would still be playing it.

I'm on bloodfin server...damn

[Tecknik]

Make a character on Shadowfire.

[Phienyx]

Pardon my bitterness.  It wasn't aimed at anyone here.

[Adad]

i dont want to start over....

[Tecknik]

What level are you?

I think you can move characters to other servers, I just don't remember how.  Let me look it up.  Maybe I'll move Tecknik to Bloodfin.

EDIT: Wow...  Googled "Star wars galaxies character transfer server" and this was the first one to pop up.

A post from today talking about how to do free character transfers while still retaining all items and such as soon as Chapter 11 launches early next year.

interesting. didn't look at the link yet.  On their main website i saw their character transfer service.  I'm a 32.  I know its not amazing but i did it in like 4 days of playing.  I'm pathetic again.  But I start a new job tomorrow (in 6 hours actually so I should probably go to bed soon),so I shouldn't have tooo much time to zap at this game like we all did with MxO.  I'd love to join your server tho if you still play so ill look into it.  Someone get me a real job please...Lits, I know you have (had) one on the line, make it happen. I'm poor.

Alright, I just re-subbed.  Downloaded and logged on yesterday.  I forgot how much fun space combat is.

It's funny though.  As soon as I logged in, I received all the rewards for like 1 year vet, 1.25 year vet, 1.5 year vet, 1.75 year vet, 2 year vet, and so on even though I haven't been playing that entire time.

I think I'll make a character on Bloodfin just so we can hang out and shit.  My character on Shadowfire is a level 52.  If you want to make a character on Shadowfire, we can go up in my ARC-170 and blast shit out of the sky.

[Adad]

haha nice.  How do you buy more starships? I just have a ... uh... i dont even know what it is.  Old version of the x-wing

[Subb]

I have and ARC and a Y-Wing with my character oh and like 5 of those Sooruub (spelling? lol) high class cruisers
