Galaxies: Who's in? Who's out? Who cares?

[JoshEEE]

In, In and IN.

I'm absolutely addicted.  Anyone from this site is welcome to hit me up online, and join a mission party or something.

I'm still factionless and neutral, which is my plan until I achieve master of something. I'm heading towards Bounty Hunter or Commando. But right now I have too much artisan/medic going on to master either...and I'm hard pressed to give it up.

Character:

Joshta Ran
Planet: Naboo, home city Theed.
Currently located:  Naboo
Server Starsider.

I also have "JoshEEE" (of course) on another server, but I'm not working on him much.

Damn Galaxies. I can't log on today.

Anyone else?

Well, I got this game last week it is really cool,  I play on Chilastra Server... if anyone ever want to chat or group let me know, of corse my name on Game is "Valtar"  I bet you know what faction im going to be too!    Long live the Stormtrooper.

A bunch of us (the uber-hardcore) from work just migrated from Eclipse over to Wanderhome, where it's nice and quiet, and there's a strong Imperial presence. We're starting fresh to make a cool player city and swoop gang (when ridables release).

Well, since this post is old, have you ever run into anyone named Islac??

 I was co-leader of his guild, but my account is out so now I am trying a devious plot of buying a game card.  


 Large Imp presence? Then again alot could've changed since September 27.

Recently quit my accout on SWG. Im a huge SW fan and it seemed to me that playing SWG was just Galactica with a SW name. The first few months I played I had the Star-Warsy feel to it, but as the XP and grinding took precidence over SW npc's and fun quests, I quit.

All in all, a amazing RPG.

But a horrible SW RPG

I'm most certainly am in. Just got to wait till I get my own comp which I am working right now.

Anyone left playing this game?

The second paid expansion is being added in May 2005 - Rage of the Wookiees.

Seems to be adding a lot of Episode 3 content to the game, which makes perfect sense for a game "based" on the era between Ep 4 and Ep5.   

Of course, with all the Jedi running around in this game, it may as well be a prequel era game anyway...

I've been curious to go back into the game and see if the content has improved any. Coming back to it after Warcraft doesn't give me much hope, however.

I am IN IN AND IN! I say it 3 times becuase i have 3 accounts, i love the game LOVE it. I dont think any big time star wars fans..especially you older ones should be caught with out it.

Hey Erik!   I'm new to JD so I just found this thread.. amazing that the post before yours was back in 2005.   I'm still playing SWG (or at least paying $15/mo to LA for the priviledge to play if I want to) and things are quite different.   First off, of course, is the retooled "classes"  You have only like 9 professions now and you can ONLY do one of them.   My Master Rifle/Master Sword has gone into Bounty Hunting and is having a decent time.   Combat has been totally retooled-  it's "almost" 1st person shooter style... no longer can you just tab/target an enemy.. you have to move the targeting reticle so that it's over the creature (hard to do on small things like Baz Nitches imho).   You can actually start as a Jedi now- it's one of the professions.     I think the changes have caused players to leave in droves but there seems to be an influx of new players and players coming back to the game after 1-2 year hiatus (like yourself).
   I recommend "trying" it out to see whether you like it or not.    If you're character still exists (which it really should), you will be able to convert your current experience to any of the professions.. .and you have a number of "respecs" (10 I think) that you can use to jump from profession to profession and then use your last respec to go back the profession you like best.    Also, you can now have 2 simultaneous characters per server.  For details about the New Gaming Experience check out the website or the SOE forums.   I'm still having fun.. for me, it's a matter of not having time, not lack of enjoyment.

Good luck.. and lmk what you think.. and what server you're on.  I'm on Bria- Na-Weobo

Hey, Im downloading the trial as I type, anybody still playing,
 I'd like to see if anyone wants to play,and show me the ropes.
 Are servers changable, like on certain games you can go from server to server, or is this a fixed server thing?? 

See you in cyber space.

I downloaded the trial too, but it says every name is taken, any advice?
