SWG Emu

Zefan · 30 Jul 2012 at 21:51

Win. My character is kind of bugged out in the tutorial section so I couldn't find out for myself. Will create a new one and try again. It's VERY different from WoW which is now shamefully my "standard" MMO feel if you know what I mean! Will take a bit of getting used to I think. Although I got to the Jedi Village I never really got the hang of SWG properly... by that I mean the stats and the insides of how the game/classes worked was always a bit of a mystery to me. I think that's why I enjoyed it so much, because it was complex I treated it more like a game instead of trying to *know* everything I was doing so I just had fun!

Only problem I'm finding is the low pop cap, which is currently 3000. Struggle to get on the server when the US population springs back into life

Novice arcetict at long last. Now I jsut need 59k exp points to get theft level which opens up an easy schematic to grind. Requires just two resources albeit a lot and 5k exp per prototype.

Going to give this a go and see how I get on. I quit just after the Combat Upgrade.

SWG was my first and last MMO, so I am keen to see if it can grab my attention again.

Time to get my smuggler back in action!

Any OcUK guild going? Rebels or Imperials?

*** edit - looks like the server is down

oh well I'll try tomorrow night.

Saviola · 30 Jul 2012 at 23:25

Ok i am in all patched but can't connect so guess Dutch is right

Will try tomorrow.

Glaucus · 30 Jul 2012 at 23:30

Yep it's down, usually anywhere between 1hr and 5hrs. Usually short when Americans are awake.

Installed and playing. Basilisk is down, so on the Test server. OcUK guild ftw!

Basilisk is up, I'm "on" there ATM.
Got my sampling macro going, getting me some ore.

To make a player city we need at least 10permanent people with houses and many more than that to get anything good, so I can't see an OcUK guild. Could try finding a relatively small guild and joing them.

I'd be well up for a OcUK guild. I think we can scrounge up 10 people to play, surely?

Glaucus · 31 Jul 2012 at 10:10

10 is absolute minimum just to set city and get guild hall, if we want a shuttle port or anything usefull to make it easier, you need far more people.

Got to start somewhere though

Well who's in for it, is there 10 off us?

It's going to take me a while to get to master architect to get guild city hall. We then need a politician to place it and for 10 people to put a house within a 150meters within 24 hours.

I am going to give this a try today, they deserve support as what they have done is amazing.

Was such a good game at the time just before the CU

Anybody here who was on Europe-Infinity ? i used to have a character called Zinqy and one called Holli, i ran the guild alliance Templars for well over a year which was based on naboo

Are they keeping a server running now then ? as everything was constantly been wiped when i last played it

Assuming I can actually get on, then yea, I'm game

I'm pretty sure I can get a mate to join too who I used to play with 'back in the day'

Yes, the Basilisk server is up for 20hours a day give or take, down time is minimal when it does happen, scheduled or not.

There are character wipes still likely to happen, but they are not frequent. The last one was when they moved onto the newish Basilisk server

Have they improved the texture quality in the EMU, or is it using the existing gfx set?

DutchSchaeffer · 31 Jul 2012 at 11:22

Count me in for the guild / house.

How much are houses going for? I will be able to log in later today, going smuggler (love slicing!)

Are we leaning towards rebel / imperial / neutral for the time being?

as far as I'm aware, it is using the same texture qualities. It helps to keep the game feel as good as it was back then

I would have thought for the moment, neutral would be better, since some of us have not played for a few years. Forgetting what cities are Rebel or Imperial and getting killed wondering around them might put people off

DutchSchaeffer · 31 Jul 2012 at 11:34

Good point! lol

Any preference on planet for the city / guild?

I have always been a fan of the desert planet buildings (Tatooine and the other one) but will obviously be happy to go with the majority.
