Hey, it's Nibbles. You still had 10 points after your xp buff and I saw you had a ranged weapon, sooo, I threw it in. I do that for all my patrons. Happy to help! Next time if you are going to space let me know and I'll throw in luck! Whether it works or not. lol I am always sure to be present when I am dancing. I pull 16 hour days making sure that I am there for everyone.

The original profession system remains unique in my experience, even after all this time. Scrapping it was the worst mistake for Sony to make.

SWG was my first mmorpg. Fell in love immediately. I still miss it.

[Consequator]

SWG is one of those games that actually gets better the more people are around unlike other mmo's that are basically single player games with other people running around in them that often just get in your way.

Just started playing, my only regret is I wasn't alive to experience this when it first came out.

Thanks for the feature here Shack! We really appreciate it, glad you're enjoying Star Wars Galaxies in 2023 :)

My time as a creature handler all those years ago are frozen in my memory. The soundtrack, the sound effects, and the fond memories of my city joining together for parties, celebratiosn, and even real life weddings being celebrated the same day as a group online... what a treasure this game was and continues to be. Thanks for sharing more about this glorious experience. I'd love to experience a near live game experience again with even double what the current populations on the SWGEmu servers offer.

It might be fun to see Shack do some rebel missions. Haven’t seen anyone cover those. Only the imperial ones.

[inductivegrunt]

Should be very fun and interesting to see Shack making more videos on this game. It's amazing to see how this game survived thanks to the fans and much fun this game is.

Fond memories of this game, playing a Mon Cal Musician parked out in the Bestine cantina, chatting with people while my macroed flourishes ran. Like so many others the NGE killed it for me, but seeing that there are still fans playing after all this time is awesome.

I started playing this just before the major overhaul. It went from a wonderfully complex and fascinating game whereby you ultimately became what you do. Want to be a great pilot? Then do a lot of flying. I just remember being blown away by everything around me. Force users were a relatively rare sight (as opposed to everybody being a jedi/sith). I remember stopping to stare as a high level dark side force wielder rolled up and killed two guards with ease.

I played soooo many hours of the space stuff in the Jump to Lightspeed expansion. I was always baffled how SWG did space combat a thousand times better than SWTOR.

Glad to see SWG getting some love.

I'm gonna say for any people looking to get into SWG for the first time, you should probably checkout SWG Legends first.

It's the most active server by miles, a difference between 1000+ at peak times and 100+ at peak times on other servers, and it's by and far the most developed and well maintained server available.

I genuinely recommend it over any other server for people completely new to SWG, or even old players looking to come back. SWG isn't SWG without a big community to make it feel like the living universe it is.

Love this game! The combat upgrade killed it for me. May have to join this version. Need more of this ! Yes, Jedi back in the OG game were amazing. There had to be hundreds of us outside Coronet spaceport and 1 Jedi running around just laughing.

I was huge into SWG back in the day. I would love to have an active guild in it again!

I loved this game. I had a couple of characters and a shared account. I had my 2 pc's running macros offering dancer & doctor buffs while I was at work. At one point, I had the best doctor buffs on the server that lasted 3+ hours. So many hours surveying planets and dropping harvesters. You could find a good spawn that lasted a week or just a few hours. Harvesting the right materials made millions. Always had the best resources for buffs, heals, armorsmith, weaponsmith, shipwright and got some nice gear making deals. Back in the day, the community would constantly updating the forums with stats and locations every time a resources spawn changed. So many good memories, even met my ex-girlfriend in game and we dated for years.. I still have 3 Facebook friends that I met playing over 15 years ago.,

[captin]

Loved my time as a shipwright. SO MANY HOURS getting there though, not sure I can handle doing it all over again. Gathering materials was a GRIND, yet I still remember it fondly.

[brandonporter]

I think I started SWG right around the time immediately following the CU, but pre-NGE. It only lasted for a few months as you said. I played almost right up until the servers shut down. I did try and get on one of the player run servers a couple years ago, but just never found the time to sit down and actively play. Without my old guild mates to run around with, it just didn't feel the same. I do miss it though. Maybe one of these days I'll reinstall it and look for the Armco folks.

So glad you made a video about this! You had my interest when you talked about it on Awakening of the Rebellion, but now you have my attention.

[EvIlducky]

Thank you, I remember hearing stories about how amazing this game is. Glad it survived so I can now finally try it. I hope you make more videos covering this game.
