Default SWG Emu

Recently a friend of mine who I had played EQ with around when I first started told me about a SWG Emu server named Basilisk. Picked up a copy of classic swg discs and been playing a couple nights a week. I've already ran into EQ-esque problems (ran out of food/drink, spent starter credits on ridiclous stuff) and now my hp is capped at 1 lol. Been pretty fun overall, guess its kinda classic think its era is before something I heard some ppl calling "the combat upgrade"? Sounded like something swg ppl would know about.

Anyway p cool server having fun for a first swg experience

I actually wouldn't mind trying that out. I've heard a lot of good stuff about pre NGE star wars.

Yeah all I ever heard from SWG players was the lament about how great the game was "pre-CU", so that must be what they're talking about.

I was too immersed in EQ etc to ever play it but my WoW guild was formed from SWG players who were some of the best people I ever played with on an MMORPG [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I've played here. jedi still isnt unlocked and with the history of SWG emu, they will do a wipe before they release jedi. I will be waiting to devote my time at that point

When I played this game I would travel around to explore, there was a lot of really great stuff in this game, just also a lot of really bad stuff too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The events that follow are neither bad nor good, just what happened when I played. I found a dark spot on a map, thought hey, maybe its cool dungeon! So I ran for like an hour to get there there and found a tunnel system full of IG-88 droids. They all conned red and I thought, meh I'm here to explore... if I die, I die. I attacked and the mobs just stood there without reacting... So I killed every one of them and got a lot of xp or whatever it was that you would get in that game and pretty much that was the end of my experience in that game..

Oh no, I just remembered the last straw that broke the camels back... I went to Endor, with 2 other people searching to view something I read about on the internet, a 'death star turret', embedded somewhere in the planet. Using the /loc system we went to the area, expecting to see some sweet views and an artifact. When we arrived we didn't see anything, we spun around looking all over, maybe it was hiding behind a tree? Or just that the loc given was a little off?... Then I hit the change camera view button on accident and my camera looked directly down upon the floor, there at my feet was the smallest, shittiest, tiniest, stupid piece of polygons ever put into a video game, thing was like the size of my characters blaster... I remember saying, "ohhhhhh my god, I found it...I am so sorry I dragged you guys out here... /sigh"

I think that event immediately followed me traveling to Yavin to see what was going on with the rebel base. It was empty of course.. Except 1 single Imperial guard standing in the middle of the giant room that made up the pyramid the base was in, he said nothing when you hailed him IIRC.

Also the reward of doing all the stupid progression quests to get inside Jaba's Palace, was to sit in a "bar" with no other players in it.

le sigh..

Lots of good stuff in that game, unfortunately too much bad. I could go on and on about my stories of disappointment playing that game heh...

Trying to hide behind a wall to avoid blaster fire, equipping a helmet expecting it would have an effect like ultravision did in EQ...

If any game was ripe for someone to mod IMO, it would be that one.
