I remember mastering a large # of professions on the way to starting the Village way back when. TK was my favorite.

Dova Vachy was my crafter. I pissed off the armorsmith community pretty badly when I came out with cheap composite armor. Cheap being like 300-400k a suit. Up until then composite was selling for over a million credits a suit. Of course back them it was all full suits of armor in the early days.

Now that the armor hole has been figured out everyone only makes and sells 4 piece mini suits on the EMU.

If anybody is curious about how Raph Koster (creative director) feels Jedi helped doom SWG. This is a good read. Blog he released last year. Shows how much the game wasn't ready at release.

Dova Vachy


I remember the name. I was a frequent customer. I burned through composite armor like it was going out of style. Jzeus was my main supplier because a couple RL friends were in his clan but I remember when you had the cheaper stuff that was almost as good. Had Many [DOVA] suits in my house for the easier loot hunting. Only pulled out the JZ stuff for PVP or Ancient Krayt / Bunker / Corvette runs

I was fairly well known for that cheap armor. JZeus was a good guy. Talked with him a lot.

Played it briefly during a free trial because parents wouldn't pay for MMO fees back in those days, and I didn't have enough lawn mowing money to throw at it

It was a great time. Star Wars is the perfect setting for an MMO in my opinion, just so much diversity in the lore.

Yup, played day one pre-cu (still have my collectors edition box with the pewter mini figure), quit after NGE. Have played the emu a few times (been a while, as creature handler wasn;t in last time I fired it up). Lowca, (Main was Oremi Veda)MBH then when MBH requirements got loosened up I went BH-Master Fencer. Had 9 accounts active at one time (rough times on the wallet back then being a lowly E-3 in the military, only one of those accounts had a jedi....).

yup, exactly, lol. My rant name actually came from one of the first Jedi on Lowca, Krave. Amazing watching him run around in kinetic armor (before they nerfed Jedi being able to wear armor) with a saber tef owning people who were curious and attacked or targeted him on accident, lol.

Anyone here that played it? Also, did you play it during its prime before SOE went full retard?


Yup. I remember when Bounty Hunters could hunt Jedi, and the insanely convoluted way you had to take to become a Jedi.
