I just thought I would post a quick message to see if anyone has started playing Starwars Galaxies yet. For those of you that are playing, it would be great to hunt with you. Kendamos and myself have been playing on the eclipse server and if your interested, stop by and look us up.

My characters are Castel and Remnant.
Kendamos' character is Xelion.

How do you like it so far? I was in the beta, and got really disillusioned about it, so I didn't buy it when it came out.

So that's where you two are! Come back! We miss you! :(

Seriously, though, I hope it is a fun game. I don't have the time or money to try it right now, but enjoy!

And come back from time to time, eh? ;) :P

Seon,

It's not too bad, they are finally starting to add some of the features promised since the beginning. Player cities and mounts are coming in the next patch.

The game still has it's problems but it is a nice change of pace.

Augur,

I still play WOD from time to time, though I am usually playying at goofy hours when not many people are on.

Hi,
I was just wondering what S WG was?

I have never heard of it :D

SWG is Star Wars Galaxies, a massively-multiplayer roleplaying game based on Star Wars. You make a character and run around and kill things. That's about all you can do right now. I refused to pay 50 bucks up front and 30 a month for an unfinished game.

Hey WODers! Long time no see (again).
My pooter had a sroke a while back, then an anyeurism (sp?) and frickin passed on. Do any of you out there know what that's like? An addict with no junk. *SAD* It was quite a while before I could do anything about it (adding wound to injury).

I wanted to get to SWG real bad. I've been following its progress almost since conception.

It came out while I was fruitless, but all the reviews said it fell way short of expectations and was clearly not ready for market, and beta player reviews all said "wasted my time- don't waste yours!" just like Seon above, so I kinda passed on it, and favored watching the progress of City of Heroes.

A little time went by and I asked around some more, particularly at the game store (PS2 scratched the itch a bit). Guys that work at game stores are hardcore gamers- ya think? They said "try it you'll like it", especially now that there's stuff to actually do, like Greywolfe replied to Seon.

Then I got a replacement computer finally (*hopes the security cams were looking elsewhere, still cowering when the doorbell rings*) but I couldn't spend $65 for a game just yet. Then along comes a sale at the Wally Mall, I figured hey I can do without lunch for a couple weeks. By the way, Edgewood Dirk, I got it for $44, and it's $15 a month not $30. It's unfinished, yes, but UO was too when it came out, so no biggie, and the progress they're making is much better than UO was.

My first impression: swg kix huge ace. You thought Morrowind was pretty? HA

I've had a hard time getting to know people though. I've just been running around checking out stuff and click click clickety by myself- I got spoiled rotten in WOD I guess. People are nice and helpful. I've yet to pay for training in a skill or language.

I was very happy to see your post, Greywolfe, and happier that you're on eclipse where I have my best character. A Zabrak scout named Spazz Thimollope will soon be sending gamemail your way begging for companionship.

Y'all get this game, log onto eclipse, and maybe we can make a PA and call it "Galaxy of Dreams" or something. There aren't enough fuzzy bunnies running around, which takes a little getting used to, but Stormtroopers sure get delightfully cranky when you blast 'em. And no one cares if you glock the Gungans either. heh. If I can skip a few meals to pay for it so can you, and it's worth it.

Ooh, you're a bad influence. :D

I've been trying to resist the game, but my resistance is weakening.

I've primarily been waiting to see how World of Warcraft and Ultima X: Odyssey turn out, I'm in the beta for Horizons, and, of course, still play DAoC.

Depending on how those other games turn out, and how the expansion for DAoC is, I may end up trying SWG at some point...

I've decided to give SWG another chance. When I can afford the game, I'll try to look you up.

Hello again folks.

I see a few of you may be getting SWG or have it already, so I thought I would post a quick update about what we are doing and such.

We have formed a guild aka Player Association on the Eclipse Server. The Guild is named "The Order of Arcadia" We have constructed our own city aptly named Arcadia. I must say that if you have been hesitant to get SWG you must look at the new features added and the newer features expected for the upcoming patch. Many of the professions are getting mayjor overhauls per player request. There is also going to be vehicles added and a new crafting profession is rumored to be added as well (vehicle engineer)

Anyhow take care folks, I do still stop by and run around WOD from time to time.

SWG was something I waited for a looooong time. I was in beta too..and during that time my disappointment grew day after day.

I mean..every feature I was waiting for were cut off from the game.

Star Wars Galaxies ?

No Galaxies
No Wars
No Spaceships

all we got were a bunch of dudes hunting around looking like jedi´s or something. When you stepped outside a town you could see nothing but huge amount of player houses... I mean they were all over.

The game is worse than UO/OSI has ever been. I (like many others) had bad feeling when Sony told how theyre making it a game which works both with PC:s and also Playstations. I should have guessed that most of the playstation players want simple and easy whacking and bragging.


Sorry about my very strong and personal reaction about whole SWG case...that´s just so big personal disappointment.

Yeah, because my daughter and son-in-law are thoroughly adicted to it- not that I don't enjoy it, too. I was also interested in checking the game out because of Dundee's involvement. Of course, I don't have time to do the game justice, so I neglect it and do it half-baked and part time just like I do everything else.

I'm playing SWG now after waiting a while, and absolutely love it.

It's far from perfect (what mmorpg is?), but they've made a lot of improvements to the game since beta.

My main is a dancer on Bria, and I also have a ranger on Ahazi. I created a droid engineer on Eclipse, but haven't played that character much.
