This seemed like a good thread to necro.

I thought I'd try this out, so I went ahead and made a character- I'm pretty lost though.

Does anyone play this/want to get in? If we've got people who want to try it, we can team up and take on some missions. The starter missions are just a wee bit hard for a new character to solo.

Well... If you dont mind instead of necro, a new post with new information about the current state before any of us gets in and who knows, might get more attention.

I've had chance to try out this too and have to say it sure is hard at start but reading more what you can do
makes the game more interesting.

The last things left are pretty much the classes, mounts and FTL on this. But FTL is last on their To-do list.
But sure i'll play with you.

I've always wondered how popular this emu is in terms of activity, i've always wanted to play SWG but it had its run before I could afford such things.

[hemmingjay]

It typically has at least 1200 people on at any given time and I have seen up to 2400. The server will handle a max of 3000 supposedly. Mind you that it allows multiple character logins from each account(no multiple accounts) so I don't know if that number is number of accounts or characters logged in.

[Android]

Nice. Now does it support 1920 x 1080 resolution being a rather oldish game, and not look like utter garbage if it does?

[hemmingjay]

yes you can run it in 1920x1080 and as for how it looks ......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEvAsUZV74U   it's up to you to decide.

Also, all of your questions are easily answered by Google or on the Emu page http://www.swgemu.com/forums/content.php?r=179-Install-SWGEmu
I don't mind helping, but it's generally much quicker to look it up than to rely on one of us swinging by to answer these questions.

Seems to be around the graphics level of Planetside 1, which is fine by me. The problem for me with older 3d games (and modern ones for that matter) is when they start having super muddy textures. To me there's nothing more immersion breaking graphics wise.

[Exerosp]

The biggest problem I had with SWGemu was that I felt alone, but that was two years ago. So who's actually gonna play? I know I am

[Imofexios]

Well my characters name is Voki Fik and im in Naboo, Thee starport.
Really dont know what to do but just get money for some vehicle with missions.
So add me as friend so we can meet up, i think the first name is enough.

[hemmingjay]

I am in the same place Imofexious(randomly chose it). I won't be on for a while but will add you and leave my name here. I am in meetings all day but will be on a bit tonight and tomorrow.

Thanks. I was mostly worried about the same issue that Silent Thunder brought up in response. Now I just gotta decide got myself if I want to shell out $20 to get a copy.

[hemmingjay]

You don't need to buy a copy. In fact, I had a friend(from another bay, one filled with pirates) loan me a copy. I originally owned a copy years ago, but when Sony turned it's back on us I threw it away.

[ductape]

I played this way back when many features werent in yet, glad to hear its at a state similar to when I played the original Sony version.

When I was playing the old SWG, all the classes were not done either. The Droid Engineer was completely useless and a couple other were not complete.

All in all, SWG was an awesome MMO and they seem to have broke the mold after this one. The freedom of action and the ability to build your own cities, shops, industry, etc was just so cool. The macro system allowed for players to set up some pretty interesting infrastructure. I also really loved the class system. In fact, there are just so many elements that modern MMO designers should be looking at in SWG for their games.

Alas, it is still an MMORPG and has lots and lots of grindy things. I think for may of us, the model of gameplay has gotten old and it's hard to commit to the hours required to get anywhere. That said, nostalgia is killing me here, it was and still is my favorite MMORPG ever and I do still have the CD's.

So tempting...

EDIT: I would be into getting back on if people are serious here. There is so much FUN we could have, building up a city and industry, the economy aspect of the game is just fabulous.
