I thought of giving it a shot some time ago.

But I didn't know anyone there and was sure I wouldn't be able to catch up with the rest of the crowd.
If we get a bay12 group together, I might still get it and fill in the role needed.

And that's the beautiful thing about SWG. It's really not very grindy.

Are you sure?
Or ist the grind just hidden in another aspect of the game?

I think the worst grind of the game is the Jedi unlocking. Apart from that, you just do what you like and earn appropriate experience. Sort've like the TES games.

Yah, the real Grinding is Jedi, and I honestly never bothered with that even on official servers; on these servers it would be pointless even if it were completely implemented, since the official Emu server is not likely to save characters for all that long (that's what their later release of the 'SunCrusher' server will be for, longterm playing through the levels. This one (Nova) is just for playing around and testing.

Oh cmon.
I can't even use the steam dowload?
Why?
Is the manual accurate?

I don't know about the Steam download, but certain other sources work just fine.

I think you technically can.  They just tell you you can't because of some arbitrary rule they made up as if it would somehow protect them from being sued.  Which it wouldn't if SOE cared enough to sue them

Fine.
So, before I start downloading anything...
Who is actually playing?

I wan't to have at least a small group I can play regularly with.

I'm playing. The servers seem to be down at the minute, but I'll be creating a Zabrak in a second.

I'll consider it.

Meanwhile I'll read up some stuff about it and wait for some other people to join.

Okay approximately 2-3 days (Depending on torrent speeds) to download SWG client thingy, then however long it takes launchpad enchanced to patch it up to playability. And then I'l be able to try it.

(That is if I don't get distracted by other downloads)

I was getting 1mb/s on the torrent, actually, and I rarely break 300kb/s.

Bah, I don't have any way to even get a copy of it, sadly. I'm low on funds at the moment, and my higher morality keeps me from torrenting. My short Satanist friend (we'll call him Stanley) has also informed that if I were to ever consider it, he doesn't even know what sites can be trusted and which are a horrible myriad of viruses and porn.

32kb/s Actually would be like Day to a day and a half if I could get full speed 24/7 and I cared to download 24/7, but I don't, I need my connection for other stuff.

And no I can't get faster without moving.
