Pre-CU FTW! SWGEmu FTW! Europe-Nexus FTW!

FUCK YOU SOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check out http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/PRE-NGE/index.html and spread the word.

Its a Petition to bring back some PRE-NGE Servers. Maybe if we can get 100k signatures we will have some pull with SOE/LA

i joined SWG sometime in january 2006 and SOE just kept screwing it up

I remember the day’s in the Beginning when a player was scared to even think about going to Endor…and we all use to meet in coronet to group up for the Big Hunt and alot of us dead on that planet …How I long to go back there and hunt…and Tame baby animals to sell or trade…Master Creature Handler was my first profession….
How I long to use a Holocron again to see what Profession I must grind in to get a little bet closer to being a Jedi that I worked so Hard for….now I have a SWG game and the Expansions sitting on my shelf collecting dust….
Wondering if they will ever make a Server for those of us who would like to play the game the way it was in the Beginnig……Yes even I would try that one out…no jedi running around ..only those who have worked there Hearts out to gain that one Great profession…that no one else dare touch…from the lac of will power or just pure being lazy…I guess they don’t know how much money they are losing …and how much they can make from just opening up a few servers with the Beginning on it …Yes I long for those days….and the Newbies on the game now ….will never understand until the play it from the beginning..and My guess is that they all would come back To that one great game called Starwars Galaxies.. the New beginning

Hey, i never played STW pre cu..or…any version of it actually, but reading these forums has lead me to believe that it was a game that i could have been into. I play WoW which is fun, but alot of times i feel as if i am missing something. I also play CoH/CoV which i enjoy because it’s the only game i know of were you can fly, or jump insane distances. Another thing i enjoyed about wow was the customization of your character’s looks. Despite the fact that i enjoy these games i still feel as if there is a better game out there and i’m missing it. I’m a guy that spends hours at a time searching the net for a truly unique game..and havn’t found it.
Lineage2
CoH/CoV
WoW
Anarchy Online
Everquest
SWG/emu[stopped, found it to glitchy]
Rakion
Guild Wars
and many more, none of which fit my fancy.
I’m desperate here. I’m a guy that spendsm ost of my free time playing games of some sort, weather it be console. pc or what not. Games are important to me in my life right now considering i am a college student, and work a shit job and i don’t have the money to go out and shoot pool and what not. The point of this post is i’m desperate for something truly unique, hell so desperate i’ll pay for the informaton. Please someone help me..please. I’m getting tired of wow, and as far as CoH/CoV I role play more than i actually play the game. The game goes stale after about 30. Can anyone give me any info? Weber7385@aol.com, it’d mean alot.

On a side note, i’m sorry about what SOE did to swg. I used to play Everquest. I remembered it’s content, it’s role playing community, the hours spent traveling to a new area and sso on, then soe takes over and introduced plains of power. Magic, armor, weapons, whatever you needed was in one place, no one had to move, period and virtually every town was desolate. So i know first hand what SOE can do to an online community. In my personnal opinnion Sony should stick to making TVs/VCRs/DVD players/Consol type systems and leave the online gamming world to the big dogs.

Again Weber7385@aol.com
please help me

Sorry for my spelling, i know i butchered SWG with STW. English is my second language. I know how huge the Star Wars fan base is and i hope i havn’t offended anyone.

I cant help but feel sad when I think of SWG pre-nge.I was a member of DMG-Inc on Gorath and I can honestly say those guys were like family and SOE ruined it for everyone.If they ever release a server with the pre-nge I hate to say it but I would be the first in line to give SOE even more of money.
LIFES A BITHC AND THEN YOU MARRY ONE!!! PEACE

I want everyone to know that there are people working very hard to bring back the Pre-cu the Website is http://www.truegalaxies.com. go there and become a memeber I think you will like what you see and tell them that solarmanJc sent you…come one come all….
May the Force be with you

Testing the SWG Pre-cu on Feb. 16 come and Join us on True Galaxies.com its fun and most of all its free…!!

Wow, what can I say but about 90 percent of you guys are right on. Man the pre-cu/pre-nge days where nice to me. To me it was more like real life. It was about who ya know and who you knew that could get something you needed. It was about being a smarter player…hiding, force run, fd, dots…chance loot. Now there are basic types for everyone to loot. Lava crystals, Bains heart, no real sdots for guys, and basic in game armor. Boy do I miss the old days. It saved me in a divorce, or caused it Im not sure. The thing is….IT WAS WORTH IT

heh.. swgemu.. their going to be the cause of my second divorce and im looking forward to it.

I’ve been playing SWG since launch. I started in this game when having an AT-ST was amazing, so having 3 guard you was THE status, when pvp was fun and battleground areas marked by the tall static pillars in the middle of nowhere… actually worked. Many ‘upgrades’ where promised to us, just as the vet smugglers. SOE started dangling the promise of a combat improvement. This ‘upgrade’ was promised to us for months then we were told that the upgrade was onhold to concentrate on Jump to Lightspeed. That after JtL, they would devote their staff to finishing this supposed upgrade. Christmas came and went, JtL released. Nothing happened and we bitched but nothing changed. Then the “combat upgrade” came and we were stunned. It was awful. Holding your weapon slowed you to a walk? It took 5 min to kill 1 mob with 2 people (1 Bounty Hunter, 1 Commando) throwing everything they had at it. Horrible gameplay. They should’ve fired everyone on the combat “upgrade” team and hired new people. The NGE in comparison.. not nearly as bad. I don’t like the “iconic” profession limitations. I don’t like the decreased character creation scales, they aren’t as versatile as they used to be. I don’t like droppable loot. SWG had always been about crafter driven economy. If I wanted loot, I’d play EQ or later.. WoW. I don’t like player Jedi being in the game. Let me clarify that… Any player Jedi. I’ve always been of the no player Jedi ingame EVER school. It isn’t set in the right time period for the hordes of rampant player Jedi running the servers now but that’s a whole other can of worms. Everybody wants their jedi, their slave 1’s, their yt-1300’s, their mandalorian armor… they don’t care about canon. But I digress. If SWG released a server running the original game experience system and versatility, I would start over on that server. The game as I bought and originally played it, no Jedi, no combat upgrade, no NGE, no mandalorian armor… hey, I can dream.

I agree, I dont know why they dont open a pre-cu server, and a CU server. One thing I know is the two versions, if ressurected, would be forever packed, and they can make money off those servers. When the NGE came out, I fuckin deleted my characters, I had a Elder Jedi, and he fuckin owned, I loved my Jedi, and dedicated about 6 months getting him. I finally had gotten my Jedi a week before the NGE came out, but once I saw the NGE, I was seriously dissapointed, I couldnt believe that the creators of the game didnt give a shit about the players. They took a great game, and completley destroyed it, and they gave us no way to have it back. Once I deleted my characters, Star Wars Galaxies, sent me a link, with a list of reasons why I quit. But the list was doctored, and I couldnt even choose, or tell them why I really quit, because there options had nothing to do with why i really wanted to quit, fuckin greed. All I can say is, I hope that someday, an emulator is made so we can all enjoy pre-cu, and CU again. What Star Wars Galaxies did is wrong, imagine you bought a brand new Ferarri, and the Ferrari dealers call you one day, and say they are going to give you a free upgrade. Then they run a tank over your car calling it a (free upgrade). That is exactly what happened to star wars galaxies, the game is a total piece of shit now. A fucking total piece of shit!

well all i got to say is fuck soe and all its employee’s for ruining the best game on the planet

I just want to say get over it. Sony never has, and never will, care about its’ community. WoW just isn’t a great gaming experience, its like AIM in MMO form. If you want fun, join up with one of the games made by people who ACTUALLY CARE like Mythic (DAoC gets more attention in a week then most MMOs get in their existance, as well as the future Warhammer game which will probably receive the same treatment). Sony just continues to make ideas which would be great IF they actually learned how to listen to their communitee. I would personally not join SWG if it was brought back to how amazing it was before, only because I know Sonys true goal is their customers wallets, not their satisfaction.

“Sonys true goal is their customers wallets, not their satisfaction”

Sorry Jon, I have to disagree with you. Sony’s main goal is to keep expenses down.

If Sony’s true goal was customer satisfaction, their customer’s wallets would fly open.

I feel we need to fight for this game if we want to play it
I sent an Email to CNN News But I don’t know if anyone is listening ..they had an Article on Star wars ..so I emailed this how I felt about it
So I feel we all need to send them a Email ..Maybe CNN will Take a look at what SOE and LA’s are doing to the people who really Love Star Wars

Star Wars was the best game i ever played. WoW is an item grind. SWG was perfect. . . . No Levels. . (skillpoints). . there was combat, there was healing, there was economy. . . . there was planets and resources. All walks of life. And for anyone who remembers catinas, how you could litteraly be happly playing just sitting and chillin there. TKM . .. . . . SIGH!!! TKM was soooo much fun. . . soloing rancor missions. Not needing a doc to fix ur wounds. There was a game that had peoples hearts. I would give anything to get it back up and rolling. I would work with any team who wanted to get it back up. I would devote hours time and money to get my all time. . past time.

… i want swg back… but better…. wish justin timberlake would….. be Bringing NGE back and i noticed they put back Entertainer… wow… i hate them still slow heads ahh god damn it im almost tempted to use that swg emulator.

SWG should be free because its not fair for me because im only 13 (about to be 14)and i cant get a job yet and my parents dont want to pay for it because it is too much money but they would pay for xbox live though.So they should make it free or just make it for the xbox 360.

I played pre-cu for a long time. I mastered over 20 proffessions. I had tons of friends, lots of money. Everything was great. Then they released the CU. It sucked, but i still kept on playing. But when the NGE struck, i couldn’t take it any longer. I quit.
And for your information SOE, if you did take some servers back to pre-cu, i still wouldnt come back. Because i hate you with all my guts, and your never
gonna get one more cent of my money.
Luckily the emu should be finished in august…

I’m with you on this one. I played SWG sence launch, hold 2 unlocked jedi 1 pre pub 10, one post. I left when they anounced the CU, went to WoW, and was later told of the abomination torres threw on the game w/ NGE. NGE was for retards and CY was for WoW wannabes, BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL!!! I’m talking Publish 10, and no later, no more stupid preorder rewards or vet rewards. take a leaf out of the PvE content of WoW and the game will once again rise to the top. I garuntee it.

Heres how it went down it was like any other morning i got up from bed after a long night of credgrinding on dathomir (rancors go rawr!!!) and i double click my swg icon on my desktop (clickicty click fucking happy day) then i sign in and load her up i spawn in the mining outpost….checking my friends list…… wtf whats this little window in the corner… soon to my surprise it was a window of death and fucking destruction to the game i loved how the fuck do they get off making nine professions from 34 how do they think that was a good idea. im probably going to go try this bullshit emu maybe it will be good but i don’t think its gonna happen.

i joined star wars galaxies just after pub 10.. it was my first MMO, and the only MMO that would satisfy me. First, i would like to point out that when i started playing, i was only 12 years old, so all of this stuff that they told everyone, like “we are making it easier because the learning curve was to steep”, yeah, well if i could do it at 12, i’m sure other people could do it at 16 . The fun part is that it was steep, the game wasn’t just a buy and play for a few minutes to get to master, you actually had to LEARN, and frankly, it kept a lot of the noobs away from the game. This game was my life, i was in a great guild, made tons of friends, and just had an overall great time. I liked it so much, when i was in 8th grade, i made a the letters “SWG” out of a piece of wood in woodshop, i absolutly adored this game. I can still remember my MArchitect/MMerchant, i had the greatest time crafting, and then i eventually went MBH/MPistoleer and started my FS grind. I was close to getting initiate, but then the CU and NGE hit, and it all went downhill from there. My whole guild pretty much left, including me, although, we still go on the forums every now and again. The point is, this game was a part of my childhood, and when they unveiled the NGE, it was a like a knife to the heart. Never again will i be able to meet up with all my guildies. My only hope is the Emu, which luckily is comming along great. Sony, if by ANY small chance you read this, please bring back Pre-NGE and Pre-CU, that was literally the most fun i ever had in my life.

exactly we need to group instead of posting nostalgic letters about the old days and join the few petitons out there as a group and show them they can profit from a rollback

any one who wants to join up with me and make a web site or furom dedicated to the sole preservation of the actually swg game and call for a roll back my screen name is Athet12@aol.com AIM: athet12 dont be afraid to talk to me about any type of project to make our voices heard on a larger scale.

Man, this is some crap. Even after not playing this game for a long while I’m still pissed off! I started playing not long after launch and moved to the Tempest galaxy when it opened. I spent several YEARS, let me say that again YEARS developing my characters and guild/city to be one of the well-known of the galaxy. The game changed instead of making a seperate title for the kiddies and all the hard work from myself as well as others like everyone on this board went to waste! I am currently supporting the swgemu community and hoping it is completed soon. When it is completed I plan on running a server of my own dedicated to taking care of its players. I have to tell ya, nothing felt better than entering my comments and pressing the cancel button when that piece-o-crap got implemented! Even though I still show hate for their teams and company I am sad to say I would return to the Galaxies if classic servers were implemented. I would return to steal their code and hand it over to the emulator teams and tell them to F*** OFF once again lol.

I am very sad that I never got to play this game back pre-NGE. I have recently tried WoW and EQ2 and while both games are fine (with my preference being EQ2) I am a huge fan of SW and this is exactly what I would want in an MMO, not another WoW ripoff. I would buy this game in a heartbeat if they would roll back a server. If you google this there are thousands of people who want the same thing I do. But instead SOE doesn’t care. Instead of opening just a couple of pre-NGE servers for people that are willing to play the game to get Jedi. I fear though that I will never get to play this game the way it should be played.

A does anyone know how to get on a private server?I have got to lvl 90 and i’m kinda bored of it (2 jedi,1 commando)and now i kinda wanna play for free so can any of you tell me plz?

you can contact me at connorhoernke@yahoo.com

When I started the game the week it opened, I landed at Dearic on Talus (near Corellia) knowing nothing but eager to learn about this new world I had entered.

I walked right out of the starport and into the medlab and signed up as a Medic. I learned about wounds and combat from the people who came by to get stitched up. Often they paid with the skins and meat they had harvested. I learned about fatigue and the benefits cantina. I learned about crafting medicines to speed healing and the pursuit ever beter quality resources.

Later, I ventured out into the wilds of Dearic with little more than a rifle and a survey tool in persuit of resources for better medicines. I learned about automated harvesters, houses and factories. I worked up enough cash to move to Coronet on Corellia, and became a Master Doctor, and continued to increase my rifle and survey skills. Eventually I became a much sought after doctor, buffing people in front of the space port. People lined up a dozen at a time for my services and paid well. I also ventured across the galaxy with my T-21 Rifle, and an army of resource harvesters in persuit of greater resources and riches. And along the way I tried many professions, made many close friends and had many adventures with them.

What other game has offered an experience as diverse and personal as this? Certainly not WOW, nor any of the other hack/slash/quest/gear clones. I’m still waiting for another good game.

Oh yea, the era of homeless doctors in Coronet! That were good times!

i loved nge, i started during nge, never gota chance to play cu, but to me these new changes to the combat system and stuff kinda blows u cant really solo in pvp much at all even if u knw what ur doing, it was nge that u had to knw what to use when to use it, knw ur toon and hw to use the specials and such that made it more fun for me
