@@666evo666 Same I was playing on there before you could even place a house down. SWGEMU has had plenty of time to make that server the best out there but for some reason has just chose not to do so. It's just now that they have JTL on the test server and it's still a long way from being done. Population is so so low right now and I mean very low like 50 people play on the weekdays and 30% or more of those are bots. Everyone has either just moved on or has went to Legends sadly. And a good bit of the people who are still left are very very greedy and stuck up. It's very sad to see how far it has fallen.
If they re mastered SWG, kept the good mechanics (skill leveling, crafting, housing and community) but then modernized the parts that need it (end game pve and pvp content, combat modernization) then they'd be golden
Back in the day it was about logging in , checking what the hot stocks were then go get buffs and go hunting to get the stuff to sell. It was the only game that really had its own economy completely player based
as an SWG vet from day 1 on Bria... this game was fantastic because of its community. it really forced you to depend on each other. couldn't go hunting without standing in line at the starport for 10 minutes for doc buffs at 25k per buff. when you needed a weapon, you had to find which player crafter had the current best stock and the only way to do that was visiting each one's shop that may or may not be on the same planet. most times not. before JTL, that meant a lot of time standing at the star port or shuttle pad waiting for your ship. we were basically forced to socialize. it was the best thing about the game. i ended up in a guild full of swedish pvpers. it was fantastic. my favorite time wasting activity in the entire game was sitting outside Moenia, slaughtering Gungans. death to the Gungans. and Master Bounty Hunter was the longest grind ever. barely worth it and totally worth it at the same time.
and filled with nonplaying characters in AFK mode all MONTH four weeks and weeks and MONTHS - it SUX the Fun out of its playability - True Fact from a returning SOE game player
@@jamesshumar-yu5tg i agree, but at the same time. do you want to play a emulator and spend 10+ hours on 1 character farming junk loot? or do you want to be that one person who plays a medic and buffs people? what about the officer dropping stims? its a double edged sword, so i tolerate the bots. as for sucking the fun out of playability, i doubt a bot is taking your fun, your just not social enough to get invited to do content lol. it takes weeks or even months to meet the right people and get invited to their groups, or you can find a guild and fast track that to hours or days. the people on legends are great, if your not a toxic person. the community tends to shun or otherwise work together to remove the cancer players.
When SWG was live, it was hands down the best game EVER made. To this day no developer has even come close to the immense diversity in the resource harvesting / crafting / merchant system, or in the actual character profs this game had. Not even remotely close. 27 profs and you could mix and match skill from them to make a truly unique build. If they remade this game on a modern engine with the same core mechanics and framework, it would be a best seller of all time.
We really appreciate this honest look at SWG, and our server. We hope we can provide a home for you to experience Star Wars for many years to come. (And yes, looking at the New Player Experience is on our list because it can be...ahem...rough)
This game was my first mmo and still hard to find a game that was as fun. I was a creature handler/ shop keeper. The economy was so fun due to the crafting system and rarity of certain items. I loved the resource system of setting up harvesters and the quality of the resources was constantly changing and certain items needed better materials which led to an amazing crafting/vendor experience. I liked that engineer was a class and you could even specialize in ships, clothing,weapons,food whatever. I tamed baby creatures ,raised them until mount size and I'd trade them or sell them. Then Sony bought it and fucked the game up overnight. Totally ended creature handler my main class so it was a big let down and I didn't play another mmo for like 15 years
Being an active UO player and private shard owner, I can say SWG has everything an MMORPG should have. I played SWG from 2003 to more or less when combat update came out. I disliked CU so much that I quit the game :/ Also, I kept an eye on SWGEmu and even tried my own private server for personal use. Requiring thousands of players to be enjoyable, I left that duty to SWEmu lol. But crafting in SWG was excellent and I am still trying to script such an amazing resource quality management system on my UO shard. Thanks mate for bringing so many good memories ! Btw ! RTX Remix is making great things to old games. I have seen videos of SWG with amazing graphics rework. I can’t wait to see their final work on SWG ! :)
Always nice to see UO mentioned out in the wild. UO was my first MMO and I also played SWG at release. The core of SWG was so great, with the character customization, crafting, etc. We had a great time for a while. Since the game was essenitally unfinished on release, we had to move on after a short time. Early on, the planets were pretty much empty and there was very little to do at max level, so we reluctantly moved on to a new MMO.
It has everything YOU want, but it's not for everyone and would prob struggle hard if released today, people like living in the past of mmo's w/o realizing not all of them would work out that well. It's seems fun no doubt and if it was ever updated with some modern looks i would give it a go.
miss this game so damn much, I tried all the swg emulators nut just not the same without my guild from back then. Started in 2003 and stayed to the very last day dispite the CU and NGE. Loved my guild UNK!
The game was great remember playing everquest before I started this game, even with all the bugs it had Galaxies was great, many good people on server whether you were imperial or rebel, of course there were always exceptions LOL, we had great guilds did raids and such very good crafting skills for its time, until Sony decided to improve the game -(NOT)- slowly many friends and guildmates left the game for good. Many of the houses on planets started to disappear , you would enter a city and it was almost a ghost town , for some reason it seemed that some cities on Tatooine still had activity until the end. I will always remember this game.
the disappearing players houses/cities is such an interesting phenomena. I've never played a game where there were more "fingerprints" or "markers" of actual people existing in a virtual world before, and honestly to this day I haven't had an experience as close. You really felt like you were in a living, breathing world of real people. That's why it's almost a new/weird emotion I can't fully articulate when I process the absence of player houses/cities if I explore planets on current emu servers. That "ghost town" feeling, it's sad and sometimes I think I'd rather just look fondly on the memories of when SWG had peak population and things were really rocking. Such good memories. Kind of parallels real life
SWG Restoration is 2024’s best kept secret relating to Star Wars. Not pre 2024, I’m talking 2024, SWG Restoration is ready, and as a new player it is like I have discovered Star Wars for the first time in my life. Based on Legends category, therefore you are apart of the lore. Also, there’s a lot of secrecy shrouded around SWG, including the entire history of this digital art masterpiece. Technologies haven’t been used in any other game for decades which only this has to offer. On top of that, you would probably want to either rewatch all the legend category movies again or Star Wars in a whole new light by checking out the available audiobooks in which ever direction you like also your character is unique to how you would like to be as, and there’s a lot more too the character development, which includes the person behind the character, you.
This was my first MMO way back the year it came out! I can't believe it's still being kept alive by the most amazing people. I just have to decide which version to join haha. I didn't know there were so many options now. Maybe legends?
Played SWG at release with 4 friends for maybe 9 months. We had so much fun. Joined an organized guild and helped build a cool city with player housing. Eventually, we ran out of fun things to do at end game, though. The planets were cool, but so empty, early on. It was sad, because the game had so much potential. We eventually moved on to WoW.
The story of SWG is a trilogy. Pre-CU, CU (combat upgrade), and NGE (new game experience). These three eras were very different games, most prefer pre CU. Personally, I really enjoyed CU. NGE was terrible though, and killed the game. I left with my clan to WoW. The biggest reason NGE killed SWG had to be what they did to the Jedi class. In CU and pre-CU, Jedi was an Alpha class. The devs didn't tell anyone how to become a Jedi, people figured it out, and even then people had a habit of only sharing the knowledge with their friends. It was a hidden process to become force sensitive, and then you would start the village grind. The grind was LONG. Those who managed to stick out the grind were rewarded with the most powerful class in the game by far. Once levelled to Jedi Master, they could take on 5+ players in PVP and win. But, anytime you revealed your Jedi status, you would accrue bounty that could be claimed by player bounty hunters with unique Jedi killing abilities. Walking in a crowd, anyone around you could be a hidden bounty hunter. But when NGE came, they got rid of all that and made Jedi a starting class. No different from any other essentially, no more bounty hunting, just completely downgraded. Slap in the face to those who had spent so many hours grinding Pre-NGE. A real shame.
you can thank marketing, they wanted to market the game as 'you can become a jedi'. but not many people became a jedi for it to become a marketable thing. they also wanted to make the combat system faster paced, due to the que-casting being a 'relic of kotor era of combat'. there were also many complaints about pvp balance that made the game less marketable. so in a snap decision, they changed everything, starting with the combat system... aka the CU. technically, the CU is the foundation of the NGE, since it removes the que-cast, and replaces it with a more semi-action tab target combat system. at its core, it was never changed since it was implemented, only that the professions were a thing, and oddly they figured out some silly leveling system tied to mastering professions. but what they created was difficult to balance, so they merged the professions together and created 'classes'. which at the time still was the old profession system, but tied to a pre-set profession unlocking path. they also wanted to make the game more of a action adventure sandbox to match the theme of star wars being a action adventure movie. so they redid the questing system, and released it in a package called 'NGE' or new game experience. going from the slow paced pre-cu combat, to the faster paced combat in NGE. some people liked, others hated, and most grew into the changes. overall, each version of the game has its pro's and con's. but i think the NGE experience on legends is a more 'completed' version of a SWG emulator. yes SWG EMU is the OG pre-cu emulator, but they are only staying at the patch before CU, and sadly, it leads to balance issues. like ADK's on legendary drop weapons, specific professions being required to properly pvp, the limited amount of PvE end game content (corvette, geno cave, and DW bunker), and the lack of JTL content (they are not adding it). the biggest issue is how easy it was to get jedi, all you had to do was figure out which 4 professions you needed to master, to start becoming force sensitive, once when this was common knowledge, most of the elite players instantly had a jedi and a additional player character they can play as. this is why the village change was implemented, since it slowed down people from becoming a jedi in 1 week, to requiring about 2 months if you did not miss any phases. many also complained that having this extra character on the same server gave people a unfair advantage (and it did). SoE's decision to allow these jedi players to get a total of 3 characters per server post NGE (normal players were given access to 2 characters). meaning that you can put down 30 housing slots of stuff, vs the original 10, or 20 from NGE. basically, it was a mess. however, the game itself was fun, mostly for the social and crafting aspects, which allowed it to survive this long. SWG legends came from the original server code from the live game that came from a dev at SoE, as such, they have been adding many things to the game. they balanced some of the classes. added a entire new expansion to the game, not just a random map. implemented many of the TCG rewards as quest/collection rewards. and overall, have the most stable of all the emulator's when it comes to server up time. the current amount of players on legends is on average around 1k, on 1 server, (i wanna say about 400 active players, and the rest as bots or macro'd follower alts), with a current record of nearly 3000 players online at once. the grind on legends is actually laughable, since if you want too, you can get a character to max level free (they give your first character a option to instant max level) and have up to a total of 5 characters, while allowing you to have 3 online at a time, if you like. legends actually celebrated that they have been up longer as a server then the live servers were recently. also, to touch up, there is player bounty hunting from pvp deaths, or from smugglers smuggling spice. legends also added farming and ranching, bringing back smugglers ability to craft spice from the farming system. the ranching system allows for players to farm beast materials, or create/breed pets, mounts, or companions (followers that give you a small buff). anyways, i do believe that not everyone should be a jedi. however, the cat is out of the bag, and even today, Disney retconned the whole there is a handful of jedi to anyone can be a jedi if you try hard enough.
Best game I ever played ever. Nothing has yet to match the profession trees and social aspect of this game. Standing in line at the starport to grab a buff yes please!
i agree with you friend, from the new gen trilogy, rogue one was the best im installing right now the restored server, so i might as well revive some good memories
NCSoft recently brought City of Heroes back from the dead by granting an emulated server the official license to the game, allowing for CoH to rise from the ashes once again. Imagine SWG and Vanguard SoH getting the same treatment + also adding a little facelift and some new features and expacs. I'd buy that for a dollar!
Yeah, if SWG would be getting some official support and the ability to modifiy the client and the ability to work with modern shaders, higher textures and assets, it could actually make things very interesting. TBH though, there should be a community effort into recreating SWG in UE5, just not with Star Wars names. Recreate everything similar to how it was in SWG, also the look and feel should be similar, but have different names and different lore behind it, to not get into disputes with Disney. A game that looks and feels similar, but offers the same freedom and also improves upon what was already there, by adding stuff like dungeons, raids, some endgame options for more indepth crafting, using reward items from raids or dungeons as craftable components and options etc... adding a more modern combat system that still makes use of the excellent crafting system and weapons+armor from that... man I got hundreds of ideas ready to go and written down. But sadly I do not have the coding skills to create it myself, or a team of capable people to try making it.
When i was 14, freshman in highschool, this game came out. I would play all night until servers went down, take a nap, then wake up when they came back and play more. I made friends i still have today. My guild went on to play wow. My first girlfriend broke up with me because she would come over and i would just play swg. AND YOU'RE TELLING ME I CAN GO BACK? THANK THE GOOD LORD!
your not going to learn to meditate on your jedi if you spend time with a girlfriend, in fact, you'll learn to meditate faster if you bring your girlfriend in SWG to help you learn to meditate. just be careful she does not become a entertainer and meet the wrong crowd, or you'll lose your girlfriend... but if you do lose your girlfriend, you'll have more time to play SWG... nvm, i don't see any negatives bro.
I don't think I've seen a crafting system as good yet. Especially with the crafting economy including literal depth (finding and planting mining machines on rare deposits that only existed for limited times).
They need to remake this with new engines that are out!!!!! played this game from early on, maybe a week or so after release on Tempest server then later on Bloodfin and fell in love with it litterly play it every night with friend, family, and solo. it was so good im 42 now and still never found a game that even came close to it this game turned me into a full blown gamer!!! the emulators are only at best 60% as good of what the original was so mutch missing content. love all the hard work put in to recreate the missing peices deff brings back memories but its deff not the same still ok but not same. yes it had its bugs but there was just so much to do and a huge player population that made this game addicting asf and i learned something new every time i played. The other players in my community became like online family we knew each other even by the look of charitors and pets we had it was crazy. Hell after shut down i held onto both my copyies of the game hoping one day they would relise their mistake and fire the servers back on, wishful thinking i know but i kept the hope alive just incase lol i looked for a remake or simmler game thinking surely they will make another one it was amazeing!!! and zip nothing???? why and why still nothing?? Games today for the most part suck, awsome graphics, good sound, fast internet and way better computers but the games blow the game could be remade today and be a masterpiece with the tech we have now so many of the bugs would be gone. The game had freedom that was key, play it how you wanted too. Now every game has a path you have to follow or says open world but takes 10 mins to cross whole map. just sad they rather kill the game then pass on the game to some one to run it or at least could have left it on 3 or 4 servers up there was still quite a large population even at the end but nope just a big middle finger.
I also like Rogue One. It was definitely better than Return of the Jedi, the prequels and the sequels. Nice review of the game. I've played SWTOR and thoroughly enjoyed it but these graphics, yeah not so sure about that. Keep up the great work.
Cassian Andor’s the man !! I loved the series also :)) SWTOR’s graphics are okay, aren’t they ? I still do my few daily battlegrounds :) one of my best PvP experiences (with ESO and WoW :)) )
I didn't really mind the initial combat update because a lot of people agreed that the base game combat was horribly unbalanced (The "endgame" enemies like krayt dragons could be solo'd by a properly geared rifleman and players tended to just OHKO each other). The real problem is that they announced the second "New game experience" update less then a year after the combat update which stripped away basically everything that made the original class system interesting rather then bothering to try to balance/refine the initial revamp further.
For me, It’s about survey, and survey, and survey, 24/7, till get to make fine spaceship and parts, and armor and weapon, and extra buff food, and get ent, med, officer buffs
This is when people made games with heart soe screwed up and panicked then tried to make the game like wow. Had they had faith in their own skills, and stayed the course they would have seen wow players come back to SWG if they updated the graphics left the mechanics the same this game would be huge today.
I never got into WoW and that was the big game for my generation. It sounds kind of funny in hindsight as an adult now, but back in high school I was very salty when my friends switched from SWG to WoW. I played the WoW beta and thought it was boring as sin. I ended up unlocking Jedi on live (Wanderhome server) and was at that point fully-committed to SWG and the fact that not only did my friends migrate to WoW, and everyone else, but then SOE gutted everything about SWG that made it SWG. I remember logging into the SOE Test Center when they were testing the NGE and I literally thought it was so broken and dumb that it would never go live....there would be too many people speaking up for SOE to completely disregard the community and go through with it anyway...but they did.
still waiting on JTL before starting again.. the real question is will JTL come to SWGEMU before Squadron 42 releases? will it come to SWGEMU before Star Citizen releases ?
An amazing MMO, for sure. Played on the EMU server, the game is still as great as ever, but the mods regularly seem to drop the ball. Wasn't uncommon to see recordings of people glitching through buildings in PvP and massive uproars about it in Discord. No action was ever taken, but then a few uninvolved people off your friends list would mysteriously get banned with no explanation. Lots of rumours about the mods involved playing PvP on one side and punishing the other, even for light reasons such as highlighting such recordings. They also have a few funky rules in place where you aren't allowed to disrupt others peoples experience, but again appears sporadically enforced. Regardless, the population continues to dwindle and now the admins say there is a funding issue. Hoping that they get their '1.0' release, wipe everything, then give their mods and rules a clean up. Legends doesn't seem to have the same issue and is thriving, but it's just not the same experience as pre-CU, and state of player housing is crazy - there are even more buildings and cities than were on the actual live servers, and it was perceived as a problem even back then. Seems like both the two largest servers are somewhat victims of their own success, in a way...
There’s no better choice than the choice that you make, because you wanted to make the choice in the first place, simply because you enjoyed the choice that you made for your character development. Forget what everybody else is doing because that’s what apparently ruin the game in the first place, people trying to be the best of the best Top tearing everything or whatever who cares just get into the game make your character choose who you want to be because you like that and have fun. There’s always someone bigger and stronger than you or brighter and smarter than you So humble yourself and have fun, but developing the character that you want to develop because you like the things that your character does. If you find somebody else who is also aligned with how you like to develop your character. Oh that’s cool hang out. Diversity is great too so hang out with everybody. Weekends are the best for Star Wars restoration.
wrong. what killed this game wasn't multiple issues. It was the Combat Upgrade revamp patch which turned everything upside down and shook the player base to the core. But almost everyone stuck with the game. And almost as if they regretted not achieving to kill the game with this, they gave us the double whammy, with the New Game Enhancements (NGE) revamp patch, which was the CU ON STEROIDS. 32 professions reduced to 6 (Jedi as a STARTER PROFESSION), AIM TO SHOOT, linear level system exactly like WoW and so on. The biggest fuck up in video game history.
SOE was fine with people having multiple accounts, that's how they made their money because of subscription. at first it was only 1 character slot per account, that's why people would pay for multiple subs.
I had a NIghtsister bracer. And an Elder Jedi. Then the Combat Upgrade came... This game was truly awesome. It was my first MMO (after Everquest on a Mac). It's the game where my friend was chased by low-level Ikopi when he was level 1 and we all pissed ourselves. It was the game where I met Vader (just like in your video) and he force choked me because I spoke to him. I played beyond the CU and even post NGE. But, sadly, most people had gone and I had no-one to show off my Nightsister bracer to and that I could turn into a force ghost. Arse.
Easily my best gaming experience of all time. It was difficult and that made it gratifying when you achieved your goals in there, unfortunately it was too hard for masses. PC master race only, then WoW brought millions of pc noobs to the table that everyone else chased. That's what killed it..
Yes come play Star Wars galaxy restoration. I am a new player who have tried all of them and have realised that the EMU version is for the people who played at launch who want that nostalgic sense, the game plays a bit dated but you can tell that it’s a good game. Star Wars galaxies. Legends is a very dumb down version of the game. Everybody got so sad back in the day and if you want to experience why they did play legends, which is missing the main reason why Star Wars galaxies was great in the first place, apparently which I can see that it’s like just losing 90% of the game before you even start playing. And then there is Star Wars Galaxy restoration, this is the only server which has the original code from the programmers from 20 years ago, and minor improvements, so the game fails modern enough to play and it’s the easiest one to install for new place as well, I can’t talk it up enough it took me away from turtle WoW. To get trying to assess everything if you’re looking for a foot in the door and you are a new player jump onto Star Wars galaxies restoration, that should save you the headache of having to work out everything, there’s a lot of the EMU players playing restoration, and none of them play legends, and there’s a lot of new players playing restoration as well. Also players coming over from legends who have said in game that year it’s true that restoration is far more in-depth fun, especially for the character development side of things and the freedom of choice throughout the world.
Gotta be honest here. I did love SWG back in the day,i mean crafting,housing and more things were ahead of its time,even by today's standard it still has the best crafting system and housing EVER from EVERY mmo out there. Now putting that aside,i tried to go back to the game and the combat just made me quit,so clunky...once you get use to other mmos SWG just feels old,antiquated and let's be honest: a mess!! Wish they would scrap SWTOR which is a travesty (its just a garden variety mmo with a Star Wars skin slapped on it to make money) and someone had the balls to make SWG 2.0. Same crafting,housing,farming,sandbox as before but with 2014 graphics,and yeah fix combat...make it more streamlined and smooth like WoW for example.
Sigh..I was captivated by swg , I was young, and it was a ridiculously unbalanced game at first , I remember people mastering unarmed combat tree and becoming gods essentially , and for awhile my entire life centered around this game, the universe, the players, it was my first true taste of a massive open world, and it brought a whole new light to the starwars universe . You could master classes that you'd never know existed in a starwars universe since it wasn't something the movie franchise ever really covered , becoming a jedi was like...impossible, it took like a year in real life time of constant grinding and it was almost an Easter egg on how you even made it happen. I loved the fighting style of this game, and the motions of the animation .. Sorry , I'm just having a nostalgia injection lol 💉 I miss my pole arm master twilek
I 100% disagree with the claim that it’s not immersive the questing, if not, it’s more immersive than modern MMOs. Where’s your head at man? Some of the questions are just so in-depth with the mapping and the levels it’s like too good
Man stop trying to sell blizzard, you definitely overlooking all the great things that are to be appreciated about this game. I mean om new player to Star Wars restoration and Star Wars galaxies as a whole, and it’s the breath of fresh air away from World of Warcraft. Pretty much everyone’s been looking for, they just don’t know about it, unless they just don’t like Star Wars well, then that’s fair enough. But it’s a game they got taken off the shelf, destroyed so nobody else could play it and now it’s back on the shelf for free with the original code for new players to come and experience what they never got to, and also for the original live launch players who wanted to share this with players like myself who can appreciate really good programming and the most in-depth game which is multiplayer and Star Wars ever. I mean we’re in 2024 now and nobody can make a game this with all of the three day models. Everything you could ever imagine. Star Wars is here and it’s not all about the Jedi. Really fun the quests are, and it’s a whole different style of questing, you go out what you have to do you go there but because we’re using a sci-fi technology instead of a fantasy world, the person who sent you on the quest can with you via their communications and give you additional information for your quest to do more things for that same quest. It’s just amazing and when you find the locations they’re so unique it’s like a dungeon for some of them. Star Wars Galaxy restoration is just too good to miss out on and I would put it up there with turtle wow. I don’t know why this guy is talking to down so much, this Star Wars galaxies restoration is in its ownn league. it’s literally the game for the best of the best people on the planet ha ha
It’s not coming back. SWG, was intended for 2024, 7 years after the Disney change over. Planned in 1977. The literature is out there, you just don’t put it together like Star Wars itself.
@@sawmanUK Did you compare it to other people's vids? I dropped your audio to 50%. Not sure how yours would stack up against the norm for YT, but you didn't at all sound quiet at 50%. Aside from the general audio level, I think perhaps the gain on your mic could be lowered a smidge.
Have you played on any other server besides restoration which is absolute CRAP??? Try swg infinity. Or swg stardust. Rogue one which is fantastic also. Bloodfin will be making a return as well hopefully which in my opinion was the best SWG server ever to date with infinity and Flurry tied for second. Rest in peace Heat.

I've been playing swtor for a decade, and patch 7.X has been a disaster; 1 hour of new content every 6 months -oof.
If they re mastered SWG, kept the good mechanics (skill leveling, crafting, housing and community) but then modernized the parts that need it (end game pve and pvp content, combat modernization) then they'd be golden
They need to remake SWG exactly how it was before the combat upgrade but with amazing graphics. That’s all they need to do.

Oh man I haven't heard Fett's Vette in forever lol
Back in the day it was about logging in , checking what the hot stocks were then go get buffs and go hunting to get the stuff to sell. It was the only game that really had its own economy completely player based
as an SWG vet from day 1 on Bria... this game was fantastic because of its community. it really forced you to depend on each other. couldn't go hunting without standing in line at the starport for 10 minutes for doc buffs at 25k per buff. when you needed a weapon, you had to find which player crafter had the current best stock and the only way to do that was visiting each one's shop that may or may not be on the same planet. most times not. before JTL, that meant a lot of time standing at the star port or shuttle pad waiting for your ship.
we were basically forced to socialize. it was the best thing about the game. i ended up in a guild full of swedish pvpers. it was fantastic.
my favorite time wasting activity in the entire game was sitting outside Moenia, slaughtering Gungans. death to the Gungans.
and Master Bounty Hunter was the longest grind ever. barely worth it and totally worth it at the same time.
Was the guild Yonis?
Swg legends. Alive strong and kicking
and filled with nonplaying characters in AFK mode all MONTH four weeks and weeks and MONTHS - it SUX the Fun out of its playability - True Fact from a returning SOE game player
@@jamesshumar-yu5tg i agree, but at the same time. do you want to play a emulator and spend 10+ hours on 1 character farming junk loot? or do you want to be that one person who plays a medic and buffs people? what about the officer dropping stims? its a double edged sword, so i tolerate the bots. as for sucking the fun out of playability, i doubt a bot is taking your fun, your just not social enough to get invited to do content lol. it takes weeks or even months to meet the right people and get invited to their groups, or you can find a guild and fast track that to hours or days. the people on legends are great, if your not a toxic person. the community tends to shun or otherwise work together to remove the cancer players.
Played this back when I was a kid. That UI is burned into my brain. Haven't felt this kinda nostalgia in a long time. Great video, SawmanUK
SWG restoration has the best of both worlds, quests and full crafting professions.
not to mention its mostly broken, love the work but you just dissapoint people when you send them to a mostly broken game
Fantastic in idea, failed in execution.
It's a mostly dead server sadly.
@@ElrohofL take
When SWG was live, it was hands down the best game EVER made. To this day no developer has even come close to the immense diversity in the resource harvesting / crafting / merchant system, or in the actual character profs this game had. Not even remotely close. 27 profs and you could mix and match skill from them to make a truly unique build. If they remade this game on a modern engine with the same core mechanics and framework, it would be a best seller of all time.
I was a successful moisture farmer. Who made droids in my spare time. Good times.
We really appreciate this honest look at SWG, and our server. We hope we can provide a home for you to experience Star Wars for many years to come.
(And yes, looking at the New Player Experience is on our list because it can be...ahem...rough)
No worries , keep up the good work 👍
Great video, was the same with Matrix online, felt like an extension of the films/world.. criminal the way it was handled and shut down
It was a nice nostalgia trip exploring the world again
I liked the bit where I got kidnapped by a stranger
This game was my first mmo and still hard to find a game that was as fun. I was a creature handler/ shop keeper. The economy was so fun due to the crafting system and rarity of certain items. I loved the resource system of setting up harvesters and the quality of the resources was constantly changing and certain items needed better materials which led to an amazing crafting/vendor experience. I liked that engineer was a class and you could even specialize in ships, clothing,weapons,food whatever. I tamed baby creatures ,raised them until mount size and I'd trade them or sell them. Then Sony bought it and fucked the game up overnight. Totally ended creature handler my main class so it was a big let down and I didn't play another mmo for like 15 years
Being an active UO player and private shard owner, I can say SWG has everything an MMORPG should have.
I played SWG from 2003 to more or less when combat update came out. I disliked CU so much that I quit the game :/
Also, I kept an eye on SWGEmu and even tried my own private server for personal use. Requiring thousands of players to be enjoyable, I left that duty to SWEmu lol. But crafting in SWG was excellent and I am still trying to script such an amazing resource quality management system on my UO shard.
Thanks mate for bringing so many good memories !
Btw ! RTX Remix is making great things to old games. I have seen videos of SWG with amazing graphics rework. I can’t wait to see their final work on SWG ! :)
We would love to have u on Restoration if u ever decide to play again
Always nice to see UO mentioned out in the wild. UO was my first MMO and I also played SWG at release. The core of SWG was so great, with the character customization, crafting, etc. We had a great time for a while. Since the game was essenitally unfinished on release, we had to move on after a short time. Early on, the planets were pretty much empty and there was very little to do at max level, so we reluctantly moved on to a new MMO.
It has everything YOU want, but it's not for everyone and would prob struggle hard if released today, people like living in the past of mmo's w/o realizing not all of them would work out that well. It's seems fun no doubt and if it was ever updated with some modern looks i would give it a go.
you're lucky you didn't live to see the NGE. While CU has been a slap in the face, NGE was a fist in the ass.
miss this game so damn much, I tried all the swg emulators nut just not the same without my guild from back then. Started in 2003 and stayed to the very last day dispite the CU and NGE. Loved my guild UNK!
Memories first to craft the whole set of mandalorian armor on chimera guild was top notch hunting Krayt pearls.
Well done, just found this vid... you did the game justice, far fairer than when it happened.
The game was great remember playing everquest before I started this game, even with all the bugs it had Galaxies was great, many good people on server whether you were imperial or rebel, of course there were always exceptions LOL, we had great guilds did raids and such very good crafting skills for its time, until Sony decided to improve the game -(NOT)- slowly many friends and guildmates left the game for good. Many of the houses on planets started to disappear , you would enter a city and it was almost a ghost town , for some reason it seemed that some cities on Tatooine still had activity until the end. I will always remember this game.
question for you, what game did you move onto?
the disappearing players houses/cities is such an interesting phenomena. I've never played a game where there were more "fingerprints" or "markers" of actual people existing in a virtual world before, and honestly to this day I haven't had an experience as close. You really felt like you were in a living, breathing world of real people. That's why it's almost a new/weird emotion I can't fully articulate when I process the absence of player houses/cities if I explore planets on current emu servers. That "ghost town" feeling, it's sad and sometimes I think I'd rather just look fondly on the memories of when SWG had peak population and things were really rocking. Such good memories. Kind of parallels real life
Finally am able to play this again
SWG Restoration is 2024’s best kept secret relating to Star Wars. Not pre 2024, I’m talking 2024, SWG Restoration is ready, and as a new player it is like I have discovered Star Wars for the first time in my life. Based on Legends category, therefore you are apart of the lore. Also, there’s a lot of secrecy shrouded around SWG, including the entire history of this digital art masterpiece. Technologies haven’t been used in any other game for decades which only this has to offer. On top of that, you would probably want to either rewatch all the legend category movies again or Star Wars in a whole new light by checking out the available audiobooks in which ever direction you like also your character is unique to how you would like to be as, and there’s a lot more too the character development, which includes the person behind the character, you.
I think my copy just came in the mail. Its at home waiting for me right now!!
This was my first MMO way back the year it came out! I can't believe it's still being kept alive by the most amazing people. I just have to decide which version to join haha. I didn't know there were so many options now. Maybe legends?
We miss you over at ESO but congrats on your 20.000 followers and keep up the good work.
Errr subscribers ... whatever
Haha I appreciate it 👍
Played SWG at release with 4 friends for maybe 9 months. We had so much fun. Joined an organized guild and helped build a cool city with player housing. Eventually, we ran out of fun things to do at end game, though. The planets were cool, but so empty, early on. It was sad, because the game had so much potential. We eventually moved on to WoW.
The story of SWG is a trilogy. Pre-CU, CU (combat upgrade), and NGE (new game experience). These three eras were very different games, most prefer pre CU. Personally, I really enjoyed CU. NGE was terrible though, and killed the game. I left with my clan to WoW.
The biggest reason NGE killed SWG had to be what they did to the Jedi class. In CU and pre-CU, Jedi was an Alpha class. The devs didn't tell anyone how to become a Jedi, people figured it out, and even then people had a habit of only sharing the knowledge with their friends. It was a hidden process to become force sensitive, and then you would start the village grind. The grind was LONG.
Those who managed to stick out the grind were rewarded with the most powerful class in the game by far. Once levelled to Jedi Master, they could take on 5+ players in PVP and win. But, anytime you revealed your Jedi status, you would accrue bounty that could be claimed by player bounty hunters with unique Jedi killing abilities. Walking in a crowd, anyone around you could be a hidden bounty hunter.
But when NGE came, they got rid of all that and made Jedi a starting class. No different from any other essentially, no more bounty hunting, just completely downgraded. Slap in the face to those who had spent so many hours grinding Pre-NGE. A real shame.
you can thank marketing, they wanted to market the game as 'you can become a jedi'. but not many people became a jedi for it to become a marketable thing. they also wanted to make the combat system faster paced, due to the que-casting being a 'relic of kotor era of combat'. there were also many complaints about pvp balance that made the game less marketable. so in a snap decision, they changed everything, starting with the combat system... aka the CU. technically, the CU is the foundation of the NGE, since it removes the que-cast, and replaces it with a more semi-action tab target combat system. at its core, it was never changed since it was implemented, only that the professions were a thing, and oddly they figured out some silly leveling system tied to mastering professions. but what they created was difficult to balance, so they merged the professions together and created 'classes'. which at the time still was the old profession system, but tied to a pre-set profession unlocking path. they also wanted to make the game more of a action adventure sandbox to match the theme of star wars being a action adventure movie. so they redid the questing system, and released it in a package called 'NGE' or new game experience. going from the slow paced pre-cu combat, to the faster paced combat in NGE. some people liked, others hated, and most grew into the changes. overall, each version of the game has its pro's and con's. but i think the NGE experience on legends is a more 'completed' version of a SWG emulator. yes SWG EMU is the OG pre-cu emulator, but they are only staying at the patch before CU, and sadly, it leads to balance issues. like ADK's on legendary drop weapons, specific professions being required to properly pvp, the limited amount of PvE end game content (corvette, geno cave, and DW bunker), and the lack of JTL content (they are not adding it). the biggest issue is how easy it was to get jedi, all you had to do was figure out which 4 professions you needed to master, to start becoming force sensitive, once when this was common knowledge, most of the elite players instantly had a jedi and a additional player character they can play as. this is why the village change was implemented, since it slowed down people from becoming a jedi in 1 week, to requiring about 2 months if you did not miss any phases. many also complained that having this extra character on the same server gave people a unfair advantage (and it did). SoE's decision to allow these jedi players to get a total of 3 characters per server post NGE (normal players were given access to 2 characters). meaning that you can put down 30 housing slots of stuff, vs the original 10, or 20 from NGE. basically, it was a mess. however, the game itself was fun, mostly for the social and crafting aspects, which allowed it to survive this long.
SWG legends came from the original server code from the live game that came from a dev at SoE, as such, they have been adding many things to the game. they balanced some of the classes. added a entire new expansion to the game, not just a random map. implemented many of the TCG rewards as quest/collection rewards. and overall, have the most stable of all the emulator's when it comes to server up time. the current amount of players on legends is on average around 1k, on 1 server, (i wanna say about 400 active players, and the rest as bots or macro'd follower alts), with a current record of nearly 3000 players online at once. the grind on legends is actually laughable, since if you want too, you can get a character to max level free (they give your first character a option to instant max level) and have up to a total of 5 characters, while allowing you to have 3 online at a time, if you like. legends actually celebrated that they have been up longer as a server then the live servers were recently. also, to touch up, there is player bounty hunting from pvp deaths, or from smugglers smuggling spice. legends also added farming and ranching, bringing back smugglers ability to craft spice from the farming system. the ranching system allows for players to farm beast materials, or create/breed pets, mounts, or companions (followers that give you a small buff).
anyways, i do believe that not everyone should be a jedi. however, the cat is out of the bag, and even today, Disney retconned the whole there is a handful of jedi to anyone can be a jedi if you try hard enough.
Best game I ever played ever. Nothing has yet to match the profession trees and social aspect of this game. Standing in line at the starport to grab a buff yes please!
Very nice editing here man! I never knew this game even existed!
Galixies is a great star wars life sim
i agree with you friend, from the new gen trilogy, rogue one was the best
im installing right now the restored server, so i might as well revive some good memories
NCSoft recently brought City of Heroes back from the dead by granting an emulated server the official license to the game, allowing for CoH to rise from the ashes once again. Imagine SWG and Vanguard SoH getting the same treatment + also adding a little facelift and some new features and expacs. I'd buy that for a dollar!
Yeah, if SWG would be getting some official support and the ability to modifiy the client and the ability to work with modern shaders, higher textures and assets, it could actually make things very interesting. TBH though, there should be a community effort into recreating SWG in UE5, just not with Star Wars names. Recreate everything similar to how it was in SWG, also the look and feel should be similar, but have different names and different lore behind it, to not get into disputes with Disney.
A game that looks and feels similar, but offers the same freedom and also improves upon what was already there, by adding stuff like dungeons, raids, some endgame options for more indepth crafting, using reward items from raids or dungeons as craftable components and options etc... adding a more modern combat system that still makes use of the excellent crafting system and weapons+armor from that... man I got hundreds of ideas ready to go and written down. But sadly I do not have the coding skills to create it myself, or a team of capable people to try making it.
Great video!
What music track(s) did you use??
When i was 14, freshman in highschool, this game came out.
I would play all night until servers went down, take a nap, then wake up when they came back and play more.
I made friends i still have today.
My guild went on to play wow.
My first girlfriend broke up with me because she would come over and i would just play swg.
AND YOU'RE TELLING ME I CAN GO BACK? THANK THE GOOD LORD!
your not going to learn to meditate on your jedi if you spend time with a girlfriend, in fact, you'll learn to meditate faster if you bring your girlfriend in SWG to help you learn to meditate. just be careful she does not become a entertainer and meet the wrong crowd, or you'll lose your girlfriend... but if you do lose your girlfriend, you'll have more time to play SWG... nvm, i don't see any negatives bro.
I don't think I've seen a crafting system as good yet. Especially with the crafting economy including literal depth (finding and planting mining machines on rare deposits that only existed for limited times).
They need to remake this with new engines that are out!!!!! played this game from early on, maybe a week or so after release on Tempest server then later on Bloodfin and fell in love with it litterly play it every night with friend, family, and solo. it was so good im 42 now and still never found a game that even came close to it this game turned me into a full blown gamer!!! the emulators are only at best 60% as good of what the original was so mutch missing content. love all the hard work put in to recreate the missing peices deff brings back memories but its deff not the same still ok but not same. yes it had its bugs but there was just so much to do and a huge player population that made this game addicting asf and i learned something new every time i played. The other players in my community became like online family we knew each other even by the look of charitors and pets we had it was crazy. Hell after shut down i held onto both my copyies of the game hoping one day they would relise their mistake and fire the servers back on, wishful thinking i know but i kept the hope alive just incase lol i looked for a remake or simmler game thinking surely they will make another one it was amazeing!!! and zip nothing???? why and why still nothing?? Games today for the most part suck, awsome graphics, good sound, fast internet and way better computers but the games blow the game could be remade today and be a masterpiece with the tech we have now so many of the bugs would be gone. The game had freedom that was key, play it how you wanted too. Now every game has a path you have to follow or says open world but takes 10 mins to cross whole map. just sad they rather kill the game then pass on the game to some one to run it or at least could have left it on 3 or 4 servers up there was still quite a large population even at the end but nope just a big middle finger.
I also like Rogue One. It was definitely better than Return of the Jedi, the prequels and the sequels. Nice review of the game. I've played SWTOR and thoroughly enjoyed it but these graphics, yeah not so sure about that. Keep up the great work.
Cassian Andor’s the man !! I loved the series also :))
SWTOR’s graphics are okay, aren’t they ? I still do my few daily battlegrounds :) one of my best PvP experiences (with ESO and WoW :)) )
Imagine an UE5 SWG tho 😮
@@sawmanUK that would be amazing ! 🤞
I am a new player coming in for the first time and lemme tell you…. It’s still filled with a ton of people!
SWG taught me more about running a business than uni ever did.
I highly recommend Saintmillion's "How Jedi Killed Star Wars Galaxies" video also as a great history lesson / cautionary tale
Jedi? It was John Smedley who killed it.
I didn't really mind the initial combat update because a lot of people agreed that the base game combat was horribly unbalanced (The "endgame" enemies like krayt dragons could be solo'd by a properly geared rifleman and players tended to just OHKO each other).
The real problem is that they announced the second "New game experience" update less then a year after the combat update which stripped away basically everything that made the original class system interesting rather then bothering to try to balance/refine the initial revamp further.
Mad daja vu on the first 10 seconds of this 😂
The copyright police will get you, watch out!
I'm sure I heard Mitch say that at the start of the first Galactichad movie... 🤔🤔😂
I knew I'd heard that line before
SWG videos always do well
The Mc-Chris plug was legendary!!!
Glad someone knew the reference 🥲
@@sawmanUK I used to bump those star wars rap daily. Huge fan of nerdcore.
For me,
It’s about survey, and survey, and survey, 24/7,
till get to make fine spaceship and parts, and armor and weapon, and extra buff food,
and get ent, med, officer buffs
This is when people made games with heart soe screwed up and panicked then tried to make the game like wow. Had they had faith in their own skills, and stayed the course they would have seen wow players come back to SWG if they updated the graphics left the mechanics the same this game would be huge today.
I never got into WoW and that was the big game for my generation. It sounds kind of funny in hindsight as an adult now, but back in high school I was very salty when my friends switched from SWG to WoW. I played the WoW beta and thought it was boring as sin. I ended up unlocking Jedi on live (Wanderhome server) and was at that point fully-committed to SWG and the fact that not only did my friends migrate to WoW, and everyone else, but then SOE gutted everything about SWG that made it SWG. I remember logging into the SOE Test Center when they were testing the NGE and I literally thought it was so broken and dumb that it would never go live....there would be too many people speaking up for SOE to completely disregard the community and go through with it anyway...but they did.
still waiting on JTL before starting again.. the real question is will JTL come to SWGEMU before Squadron 42 releases? will it come to SWGEMU before Star Citizen releases ?
An amazing MMO, for sure. Played on the EMU server, the game is still as great as ever, but the mods regularly seem to drop the ball. Wasn't uncommon to see recordings of people glitching through buildings in PvP and massive uproars about it in Discord. No action was ever taken, but then a few uninvolved people off your friends list would mysteriously get banned with no explanation. Lots of rumours about the mods involved playing PvP on one side and punishing the other, even for light reasons such as highlighting such recordings. They also have a few funky rules in place where you aren't allowed to disrupt others peoples experience, but again appears sporadically enforced. Regardless, the population continues to dwindle and now the admins say there is a funding issue. Hoping that they get their '1.0' release, wipe everything, then give their mods and rules a clean up. Legends doesn't seem to have the same issue and is thriving, but it's just not the same experience as pre-CU, and state of player housing is crazy - there are even more buildings and cities than were on the actual live servers, and it was perceived as a problem even back then. Seems like both the two largest servers are somewhat victims of their own success, in a way...
never heard of any issues on Basilisk
THE WOOKIE YOU MADE LOL
There’s no better choice than the choice that you make, because you wanted to make the choice in the first place, simply because you enjoyed the choice that you made for your character development. Forget what everybody else is doing because that’s what apparently ruin the game in the first place, people trying to be the best of the best Top tearing everything or whatever who cares just get into the game make your character choose who you want to be because you like that and have fun. There’s always someone bigger and stronger than you or brighter and smarter than you So humble yourself and have fun, but developing the character that you want to develop because you like the things that your character does. If you find somebody else who is also aligned with how you like to develop your character. Oh that’s cool hang out. Diversity is great too so hang out with everybody. Weekends are the best for Star Wars restoration.
Blizzard or someone competent,should take this up and remake with modern graphics and reworked mission system.
What was the song the wookie was dancing to?
It's a boba Fett rap song
wrong. what killed this game wasn't multiple issues. It was the Combat Upgrade revamp patch which turned everything upside down and shook the player base to the core. But almost everyone stuck with the game. And almost as if they regretted not achieving to kill the game with this, they gave us the double whammy, with the New Game Enhancements (NGE) revamp patch, which was the CU ON STEROIDS. 32 professions reduced to 6 (Jedi as a STARTER PROFESSION), AIM TO SHOOT, linear level system exactly like WoW and so on. The biggest fuck up in video game history.
the emu was around before the game actually shut down, so the swg community always had a place to go, it wasnt a choice between swot or wow.
SOE was fine with people having multiple accounts, that's how they made their money because of subscription. at first it was only 1 character slot per account, that's why people would pay for multiple subs.
Good vid as allways Mr Doggo
I recently got back int9 the game
nothing to this day even comes close, so complex this game was ;( played all of them!!! still nothing gets me like this game
How do they do this? Where did they get the original SoE code?
I dont ask questions i just played the game :D
3:30 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Still the best game I have ever played!!!!
Wait so can we play this game officially now and not on a private server?
I had a NIghtsister bracer. And an Elder Jedi. Then the Combat Upgrade came... This game was truly awesome. It was my first MMO (after Everquest on a Mac). It's the game where my friend was chased by low-level Ikopi when he was level 1 and we all pissed ourselves. It was the game where I met Vader (just like in your video) and he force choked me because I spoke to him. I played beyond the CU and even post NGE. But, sadly, most people had gone and I had no-one to show off my Nightsister bracer to and that I could turn into a force ghost. Arse.
I mean... you could try and play it again...
Elder Jedi didn't exist until NGE was implemented so there's no way you had one prior to the Combat Upgrade.
@@Amksed Well, a Jedi then. Which became an Elder post CU.
YES
Wait so is this different from swg lengends?
Easily my best gaming experience of all time. It was difficult and that made it gratifying when you achieved your goals in there, unfortunately it was too hard for masses. PC master race only, then WoW brought millions of pc noobs to the table that everyone else chased. That's what killed it..
swg hope's dawn!
Yes come play Star Wars galaxy restoration. I am a new player who have tried all of them and have realised that the EMU version is for the people who played at launch who want that nostalgic sense, the game plays a bit dated but you can tell that it’s a good game. Star Wars galaxies. Legends is a very dumb down version of the game. Everybody got so sad back in the day and if you want to experience why they did play legends, which is missing the main reason why Star Wars galaxies was great in the first place, apparently which I can see that it’s like just losing 90% of the game before you even start playing. And then there is Star Wars Galaxy restoration, this is the only server which has the original code from the programmers from 20 years ago, and minor improvements, so the game fails modern enough to play and it’s the easiest one to install for new place as well, I can’t talk it up enough it took me away from turtle WoW. To get trying to assess everything if you’re looking for a foot in the door and you are a new player jump onto Star Wars galaxies restoration, that should save you the headache of having to work out everything, there’s a lot of the EMU players playing restoration, and none of them play legends, and there’s a lot of new players playing restoration as well. Also players coming over from legends who have said in game that year it’s true that restoration is far more in-depth fun, especially for the character development side of things and the freedom of choice throughout the world.

Gotta be honest here.
I did love SWG back in the day,i mean crafting,housing and more things were ahead of its time,even by today's standard it still has the best crafting system and housing EVER from EVERY mmo out there.
Now putting that aside,i tried to go back to the game and the combat just made me quit,so clunky...once you get use to other mmos SWG just feels old,antiquated and let's be honest: a mess!!
Wish they would scrap SWTOR which is a travesty (its just a garden variety mmo with a Star Wars skin slapped on it to make money) and someone had the balls to make SWG 2.0.
Same crafting,housing,farming,sandbox as before but with 2014 graphics,and yeah fix combat...make it more streamlined and smooth like WoW for example.
you played as a dancer
Wow vanilla IS perfect .
Sigh..I was captivated by swg , I was young, and it was a ridiculously unbalanced game at first , I remember people mastering unarmed combat tree and becoming gods essentially , and for awhile my entire life centered around this game, the universe, the players, it was my first true taste of a massive open world, and it brought a whole new light to the starwars universe . You could master classes that you'd never know existed in a starwars universe since it wasn't something the movie franchise ever really covered , becoming a jedi was like...impossible, it took like a year in real life time of constant grinding and it was almost an Easter egg on how you even made it happen. I loved the fighting style of this game, and the motions of the animation ..
Sorry , I'm just having a nostalgia injection lol 💉 I miss my pole arm master twilek
I 100% disagree with the claim that it’s not immersive the questing, if not, it’s more immersive than modern MMOs. Where’s your head at man? Some of the questions are just so in-depth with the mapping and the levels it’s like too good
About time ;)
I even have planet side 2 downloaded....
@@sawmanUK Your going trough my entire library, So...when's stalcraft? ;)
Whats wrong with your toon?
Nothing, he’s just a bit curvy
Man stop trying to sell blizzard, you definitely overlooking all the great things that are to be appreciated about this game. I mean om new player to Star Wars restoration and Star Wars galaxies as a whole, and it’s the breath of fresh air away from World of Warcraft. Pretty much everyone’s been looking for, they just don’t know about it, unless they just don’t like Star Wars well, then that’s fair enough. But it’s a game they got taken off the shelf, destroyed so nobody else could play it and now it’s back on the shelf for free with the original code for new players to come and experience what they never got to, and also for the original live launch players who wanted to share this with players like myself who can appreciate really good programming and the most in-depth game which is multiplayer and Star Wars ever. I mean we’re in 2024 now and nobody can make a game this with all of the three day models. Everything you could ever imagine. Star Wars is here and it’s not all about the Jedi. Really fun the quests are, and it’s a whole different style of questing, you go out what you have to do you go there but because we’re using a sci-fi technology instead of a fantasy world, the person who sent you on the quest can with you via their communications and give you additional information for your quest to do more things for that same quest. It’s just amazing and when you find the locations they’re so unique it’s like a dungeon for some of them. Star Wars Galaxy restoration is just too good to miss out on and I would put it up there with turtle wow. I don’t know why this guy is talking to down so much, this Star Wars galaxies restoration is in its ownn league. it’s literally the game for the best of the best people on the planet ha ha
It’s not coming back. SWG, was intended for 2024, 7 years after the Disney change over. Planned in 1977. The literature is out there, you just don’t put it together like Star Wars itself.
I sense good star wars shenanigans, shut it down
Seg was great at the time but it really shows its age now try playing SWTOR.

@@FiltyIncognito No worries, ill check it out on the next one
Alsoooooo you can have 3 characters now! And then January 2024 Jedi and forces powers are coming!!!!
Have you played on any other server besides restoration which is absolute CRAP??? Try swg infinity. Or swg stardust. Rogue one which is fantastic also. Bloodfin will be making a return as well hopefully which in my opinion was the best SWG server ever to date with infinity and Flurry tied for second. Rest in peace Heat.
Rogue One is the actual best.
It has the best plot
Watching your video makes me not want to play it, but actually playing it makes you look like a complete nonsensical content creator.
I do hope you eventually try out SWTOR ...
I've played a few hours of it, but nothing video worthy just yet..
@@sawmanUK it is good idea to play your favourite character archeotype ; sadly Smuggler has most boring story .

God this games players suffer from the worse case of "rose tinted glasses" syndrome that I have ever seen.
It's actually a good game for older gamers who don't care about muh graphics or FPS. Some of us were 13 when this game came out and it was fun.
it doesnt look good at all
