It was a great game in the beginning, when every profession relied on other professions. The scouts got hides and bones, which were needed by the crafting professions, which made things everyone bought. The fighter types needed those artisans, and then needed the dancers to heal battle fatigue, and doctors to heal wounds. It was a well orchestrated mix of professions that you just don't see in many, if any, games these days. It's also the biggest problems of all of these emulators today. They're just dead... full of empty player-made cities. If you're lucky, you'll find one city (Eisley) that has some people in it. It's surprising to see anyone running around anywhere else. I wonder if in the near future, if quality AI-controlled NPCs could improve things...

As usual, the problem was Executives and PR people interfering, who also didn't understand their own product.

No, Owen Lars was exactly who we wanted to be, it was OUR saga, not us playing out someone else’s, that was even the whole initial selling point of the game! The original skill system just topped that off, you could come up with so many werid and wonderful combinations, that gave you a much higher probablity of being unique, at least within your server.

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

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 called it the combat down grade.

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.

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.

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.

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.,

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.

Brings back memories from 2003ish 2004ish played for a little hot minute but got sucked into EQ2 back in those days...still enjoyed this immensly

This game had so much potential and so much great memories. I’m glad to still exist in these forms. I’ll always in my heart be logging into Bloodfin.

damn,travelling down memory lane i remember my Bothan Droid Engineer/Chef Nuk Vrek, who did almost only custom work with self harvested materials for every day usage and the "special events". Loved all the customer talks to make sure i get the specifics right.

I had never played SWG but was always aware of it. Watching you play the last week or so convinced me to try Restoration. I'm pretty low but i've been enjoying it so far. I have yet to try space though. Trying to decide between Rebel and Imperial. I want to play a Stormtrooper, but the Y-wing is my favorite fighter, so I'm torn.

Wow what a blast from the past! Anchorhead was where I saw my first Jedi in the game. Some jackhole was harrassing a player at the trade terminal. He must have flagged for pvp and then I heard the lightsaber fire up, a couple of swishes and then the jackhole was taking a nap.

Wow What a flashback. I probably spent a year of my life in the cantinas getting entertainer buffs & healing I was a Wookiee, very dark furred, named Grimilla. I remember how shocked I was when I finally found Chewbacca in game. He was so small!

This is still my favorite game of all time. SWG was a great time and I am playing some on resto now as well. I played the original game from the beta up until it was sunset in 2011. I unlocked Jedi in pre-cu and it was a ton of fun. The NGE made it a starting profession and I got a title, "Elder Jedi", a buff, a robe and a lightsaber crystal.. LOL!

I unlocked my force sensitive slot on the original. The next day I could play was the day after NGE patch. What a lovely day. I got sick for about two weeks and when I could get back it was patch time.

As an old Chef on Emulator, I miss this game. Thanks for bringing it back and showcasing.

Well, this brings back memories. Flying that Y-Wing is like flying a station wagon of death, lol.

I remember this game so fondly. We had our rebel town on lok which was imp controlled. Our town hall had two large golden ball decorations either side of the steps named 'Kiss My Giant' and 'Golden Balls' respectively. I was distraught when they gutted the game and killed it

i remember, during the golden days of playing the game, I was...a bounty hunter or something on Tatooine and like something happen out oh no where the empires theme was playing and like other END game bounty hunters and imp officers storm troopers etc., just all came out and there was a rare Jedi on the planets and he became hunted it was huge and it's a gaming moment that will and has stuck with me because it wasn't coded, there was just so happen a player Jedi (before you could just be one) there and the imps were like oh hell no and everyone and there brother showed up to hun this Jedi. just was soooo cool.

I discovered your channel through SWG videos and was hoping for a long long time that you will create some more Galaxies content. Also a big fan of Awakening of the Rebellion series of yours. Thanks and keep it going.

when SWG was live and i was playing i was out exploring and got to close to a Krayt Dragon and was being chased by it another player ran past me and i thought ok he is dead then i hear it the unique Hum of a light saber turned around and watched as he soloed it. That was the first time i had seen a Jedi on the server it was VERY impressive it is something i hope i never forget. and this was at a time when you had to master EVERY class to unlock the path to become a Jedi so i knew that player had spent a lot of time in game.

Yo! My biggest problem with galaxies back in the day was they added in Jedi! That's so cool that these guys are making it a more complex system to become one! I might have to look into this server...

Sony dumbed down the original plan for Jedi. I think one of the original creators of SWG mentioned that perma-death and the "random" unlock system were the plans originally but then that wasn't liked by the execs so they added holocrons (I think) that would give you clues to unlock Jedi and removed the perma-death. Finally with the NCE they just allowed everyone to start out as one and I think that really killed it for most people. People didn't want to do WoW in Star Wars, they wanted the unique sandbox style game that SWG originally was.

How did it go?? I remember playing this back in college, and it was very addictive

I've been playing on legends a lot to get used to the game so I can go on restoration and be better set, and I was watching your older videos on the game.

Cool, last played "a long, long time ago" reached Master Doctor for the Empire loved it! Was the first MMOG I was up all night loving it until the combat upgrade hit leaving the Doctor profession useless as most of my time "when I was not out looking for supplies or just exploring" was most of the time hanging out in the Hospital on the Capital of Naboo or in my guilds base curing and buffing players. Please tell me that it's back to normal again and I will give it another go?

Omg! I just found SWGR and I am soooo addicted. I miss my lvl 80, commando/sniper/scout..and just got force sensitive before the update… 😢 I’monly lvl 18 at the moment after a few weeks.. but it’s so fun. ❤

Was just doing some Bounty hunting on Restoration this morning lol.

I got used to the changes in SWG, and Legends basically lets me continue the game as I played it, with some new content as well

Yeah I remember this. Would definitely like to hear about the servers

Lmao, the combat upgrade was actually starting to bring elements of it's scattered skill system together in a meaningful way. I remember for the brief time the CU was active, I was a smuggler/pistoleer and my role in my guild raids was to snare nightsisters on dathomir while we killed rancors or something like that. CU had potential., but they nuked it with the NGE not long after it was implied. I was playing for all of it, absolutely feels now like I was living through the MMORPG equivalent of Pearl Harbor

Being able to go full X-series and set up space stations would be a cool feature

I used to play Galaxies back in the Pre-NGE days (Eclipse Server). I looked at the SWGLegends but no Teras Kasi Master.

I totally ran right through you at 4:02 lol

The crafting was so unique because the quality was not static. Players scouring planets testing the available resources before setting up player built extractors. Once the resources were exhausted or a better source located, the extractor fields would be disassembled or 'fade' after a set amount of time without maintenance. Introducing player Jedi to this time frame destroyed the player built economy since everything beyond the most basic items for beginners was player made. To 'unlock' your Jedi you had to master 3 of the available professions without a clue to which they were. Players were grinding professions and all the 'stores' and contacts one had for your profession's items was tossed to the wind. Everything made was low level junk made just to level XP instead of provide a community with a 'real' experience.

I remember playing SWG before they had mounts lol. I was BH and the BH missions were all on foot. Then they added creature mounts, a bit later they added the speeders.

you need to get the droid comps to boost your ship, and fly at 3/4 speed for the best dog fighting

Clone Wars Adventure & Star Wars Galaxies, what times to have been a gamer. And both are making a comeback which is beautiful.

Shayde's Entertainment Agency and Underworld Parcel Service Represent! Miss this game so hard.

I used to love you would need to go into the cantina at the end of the day to have a dancer heal your character's fatigue and then grab some health buffs from a doctor outside on the out.

Man this takes me back, Had a Jedi. Would like to play again.

This was the best game when it first came out. People in the cantinas working as dancers, people in the med center working as doctors, amazing player made content.

I played in 2007 and also play Legends. I was lucky enough to get SWG source running on my PC also.

It sounds weird listening to Homeworld music while you're running around in SWG:R, I think that particular track is the default ost for Fields of Plaz map in HW1 but the track is called Great Wastelands which is fitting for Tatooine.

oh man i played this game for 2 days and every second felt like a movie.. Roleplay was so much fun with randoms.

Oh my gawd this is fantastic! SO nostalgic! The CU was the BEST update to SWG there was, IMHO. I recently found my old SWG disks and am gonna have to give this a shot. 😀I hope it's a cool as I remember, look that way. 😁

Anchorhead for me was Mimi, a CM, coming in and destroying everyone with diseases. The cantina was full of injured and recovering people.

My father played Galaxies during part of my childhood and was always enamored with the game. I was heartbroken when I learned that it closed down. Now that I'm actually able to play the game I'm very excited that there are private servers keeping the game alive.

I'd give anything to go back and be able to play this game from beta till now.

ty for the vid! are there any major differences between the servers in terms of the space sim aspects? also noticed a comment mentioning one server needs a copy of original game too, ty

This always has a place in my heart! Not everyone wanted to be a jedi, but when you seen one it was awesome! Bounty hunter system was amazing! No oyher game so gar has matched it. This game taught me parience, imagine players these days having to wait 15 mins for a shuttle! Buff lines brought the community together. Krayt hunting with 100 other players was awesome! When JTL came out, i acrually quit my job and was the first to have a decimator on eclipse! Thats how much this game affected my life!!

Captin this reminded me of Star Wars New Dawn - massive mod for Stellaris that at its current state ready for very long playthrough - with major factions each having their storyline. Do you have any plans for it on channel?
