A throwback: Star Wars Galaxies (SWG)

Anyone here that played it? Also, did you play it during its prime before SOE went full retard?
This game has definitely come back to my attention since a decent number of emulator servers are up and running with solid populations apparently. I.e. it's playable again in its prime version.

He is just jealous he didn't get to experience SWG in it's purest form. I played from basically day one until JTL, great game and I have been following the emulator servers. They should be getting close to the full experience.

It sounds like they're coming along greatly.Posted on 1/2/16 at 8:24 am to Kodar
SWG was my life.
Really huge piece of who I am.

I really do not understand why no North American MMO has attempted to copy/improve the sandbox MMO. I mean the player economy was pretty great.

Because it failed!

It failed after they destroyed it, it was doing alright even with WOW entering the market.

No MMO has compared to SWG and that includes WoW, GW1 & 2, and ToR all of which I played extensively. SWG had a great thing going before the NGE. Particularly pre-CU. Mind-boggling that they screwed it up.

I still play on the SWGEMU server. It's a blast and the game is definitely at a playable state.

There has never been a game before or since that came close to approaching the resource gathering and crafting in SWG.

Shame I missed the boat on these mom's. I would have loved them.

Easily my favorite MMO before they murdered it.

They try, but most sandbox MMORPGs are influenced by Ultima Online rather than SWG, meaning they have open-world PVP.
I don't think pre-NGE SWG was as good as most people remember, especially towards the end of it's life when it was just one big grind to become a jedi.

Anyone play CoH/CoV? City of Heroes/Villians.
It was my SWG after the NGE.

SWG was easily the best MMO I have ever played. And I have played them all.
The morons at Sony destroyed it, then claimed it was a "failure".

Bought on launch day. My Teras Kasi Master / Trapper was bad man. Talus native.

On a side bar, are Jedi implemented on that server?
