What is it?

 

[Anomaly1964]

The original Star Wars Galaxies...pre changes...

 

[Lumathix]

hmm wonder what the population is like.

 

[Anomaly1964]

Think I will check it out today...

 

[Lumathix]

Loaded game. Can't connect to login.

Dude, I totally forgot about this. Thanks for posting. I was following this years ago.

 

[Nik]

Hell no. It's riddled with bugs and most of the universe is broken anyway in that build.

 

[pontifex]

What is it?

against the ToS?

SWGemu is not illegal for those wondering.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Never played but been interested in a emu for years

 

[coloumb]

Yes - every now and then when I'm bored and want to feel nostalgic. There are a lot of issues/bugs that need to be worked on [the mobs won't stop chasing you until either it is dead or you are dead]

I had a jedi slot way back when but forgot to log on [resub] to transfer my characters before the Intrepid server was destroyed. It's depressing to see them on the character selection screen too

not illegal as in "against the law" but against the Terms of Service or use.

I haven't seen one MMO that allows this.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Waa Sony won't support me. I'm not worried.

 

[Lumathix]

Server was down earlier. But after it was back up I got it. Actually pretty cool. May play some more later.

So? Woah! I can't play on the official servers! Bah, who cares.
Nothing wrong with using SWGemu.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

That's my point, so I can't ask Sony to give me "service" (hence the terms of service agreement) to install this emu. Of course not I'll just have to figure it out alone boohoo

 

[Anomaly1964]

WOW...forgot how DETAILED this game was in terms of grinding!

 

[Magusigne]

Honestly as far as Crafting...and non-com skills go. This game was the best by far. Some people might argue for Eve, but on a practical level SWG had it right.


If WoW could combine SWG crafting and non-coms...

 

[Possessed Freak]

Interesting, I *might* have to look into this. I played that first buggy month, got the second month free and decided to bail. I know I won't go the same route though, architect had some MASSIVE grinding.

Meh, you can buy backpacks on the bazaar (and have been able to for about 5 years now) that include exactly everything you need to level from 5 to 90 in every kind of trader profession.

It's cake now and probably one of the fastest grinds to 90 in the game.

Well that's vastly different than when it first came out.
