Quick! Explain why you aren't playing one of the best MMOs ever made right now?
>>
Because it's dead, and will never be the same. Accept it.
>>
>>342939837
but its not dead friend. the emu has many servers that are alive and well ;)
>>
>>342938938
I've started and stopped so many times that I might as well wait for them to finish so that I know my character won't be deleted at some point.
>>
>>342939882
No, it's dead. The community is gone. The energy that was when it was actually active is gone. It's dead. Claiming otherwise is like saying UO is still alive because some neckbeard who can't let go still hosts a server prior to trammel.
>>
>>342938938
Looks like the cover of a Red Dwarf Box Set.
>>
>>342940092
most of the servers arent going to be wiped. only the basilisk server is planning a wipe atm
>>
>>342939882
Emu has 2 servers, the others are nothing to do with the "official" swgemu
>>
>>342940434
true but its all the same community. each server slightly different to fit a variety of needs. its quite a nice system
>>
>tfw I was one of the very first teras kasi masters on my server at launch

good memories

>>342938938

I already put a couple thousand hours into it during its prime.

I had fun, and it is a shame how it ended, but now it is over.

its dead Jim. SWGEmu will never be able to compete with the official servers population.

also, Basilisk is the only server with a sizeable pop and it will be wiped when JTL hits. the other servers which promise no wipes are too small for such a heavy community based game.

I dunno. It's so big even with what's been added so far. I traveled to some other planets for work that was neat though. I wish I could get a spaceship.
>>
>>342941460
I started playing months ago but havnt been on lately.

When does JTL come out on Basilisk?
>>
>>342942503
not anytime soon id imagine
>>
>>342942446
>>get overwhelmed and can't figure out what to do
What? dude its the simplest job in the game. just macro it and go AFK its as simple as that. if you really want to be blown away try going crafting and look at that crafting system, especially the resource system.

>>342942503
>When does JTL come out on Basilisk?
no date.
>>
>>342938938
1. The server is full.
2. No one in their right mind should get into an mmo that is over a decade old.

That is not Ultima online.

Was anyone else part of the NFA guild/city?

That was fun as fuck. Until I learned that bountyhunter wasn't even really in the game yet
>>
>>342942765
Well, you phrased it like it was.

Did you get far in DE? did you get to the point where you were crafting for actual use rather than grinding and having to actually worry about tool quality and resource quality?

>>342942873
But anon, Bounty hunters are in the game. I believe Jedi hunting even works.

>>342942503

The best MMO ever made is Lineage 2 Interlude. You literally cannot dispute this

I had much fun with a friend flying around in his Y-Wing he would fly and I would use the turrets or just me in my X-Wing helping him out or just chill in the yacht/falcon.
>>
>>342942982
No I mean, I wanted to do droid engineer but chickened out because it was so intimidating so I went entertainer and still flaked out.

Maybe it was just a case of being overwhelmed in the moment. I should go back. It's one of the few games I can play on my toaster and crank the graphics to max settings. It still looks good too imo.

I'll never forget the time I got lost in the desert on Tatooine. I was miles and miles from the nearest populated player city. It was great. It took me an hour and a half almost to make it back alive as a fucking dancer with no vehicle or anything. I can't remember any game doing that kinda thing to me. It was great.

>>342943023
3 years ago, I do recall that was a /vg/ guild but I dont recall the name.

I was part of it though, had two houses in Best Korellia. its all dust now ;_;

That's a funny way of spelling star citizen.

I had one house and I was going to have another on a new planet but then I stopped playing and it was ded when I got back
>>
>>342943235
>chickened out
cant blame you. I wanted to be a DE at first too, but it was too hard so I threw that character into the back burner and started leveling a TKA instead. but I eased into the crafting eventually.
>>
No JTL, no deal.
>>
Where do I buy it/acquire it?
I used to play, have an old copy sitting around somewhere, but I think it's missing a disc.

That's not even a game

you can just torrent it. emus just say you need to buy it to avoid legal bullshit

I am a huge Star Wars fan and am planning to start this game very soon.
Can someone give me a quick rundown of things to expect/tips? I've never played an MMO before. Are the Emu versions just single player, or does it involve other people? Does it take place in the KotOR times, or is it sometime in the movie timeline? Can you become a Jedi/have a lightsaber? Is it actually fun or just good for Star Wars fans?
>>
>>342943859
Also, I see there are classes. What's the best class to start out as to be a simple shooting character?
>>
>>342943859
I'm still new but do it if you love Star Wars. It really is like living in the world.

Of course I lived as a homeless T'wilek dancer, bar hopping, grinding and hanging out behind peoples houses while rumaging through my inventory.

>>342943959
Classes are deep as fuck too yo. Bounty hunter might be fun. I wanted to try it.
>>
>>342943859
It takes place during the Galactic Empires height of power.

I think you can be Jedi now, i'm not sure. You used to have to work your ass off for it though and when you became one you had to hide it or get hunted by the Empire and bounty hunters.

Be a Jedi, dress like a pilot etc. Carry a blaster unless shit gets real, that sort of hiding.
>>
>>342944047
Kek, homeless dancer, that's really cool, thank you for the information.
>>342944141
This sounds really elaborate and deep, interesting.
>>
>>342943859
>>342943959
find a good guild most people are friendly and will help you get started. basically if i had to give advice id say be sociable, it is a socially focused mmo.

it takes place between epi.4 and epi.5

you can be a jedi depending on what server you play, however it is not easy to become a jedi since they were very rare during this era.

it can be very fun but its not for everyone.

if you want to play a shooting class i suggest you start as a Marksman, take a look at the profession chart once you get in-game and see how each profession branches into the others.
>>
>>342943859
levelling is pretty much single player

it takes between ep4 and 5

you can be a jedi but it is a hilariously long grind (literally months just to be force sensitive, then more months grinding jedi xp) and you also become a target for player bounty hunters.

its fun.

you're forgetting the best part - the ability to mix them and make a Teras-Kasi Droid Engineer, or Bounty Hunter Chef.

>>342945036
your'e right my bad. yes, you can mix and match however you want. thank you anon :)
>>
>>342943562
Didn't they change Morag Bal from the God of Rape to something generic like the God of Evil or some shit?

I mean, if you want to have a truly evil demonic entity I think you should stick with the "Vampire making rapist" angle.
>>
when will basilisk have jedi?
>>
>>342946117
there's a bunch of servers that are already jedi enabled

you do not want play jedi on bas they're using the fucking village system.

>>342943012
>star wars
>no stars
what's the point
>>
>>342946183
What's the village system?

a stupid grindfest.

>>342946379
so which server is the best?
>>
>>342946521
Bas is literally the place to be.
>>342946183
Yes lets not do it the way the original was, lets just get given jedi without doing fuck all for it. Faggot
>>
>>342946231
let me ask you a question. do you enjoy grinding 80 billion xp and then converting it to different xp with a ratio of 10:1 and then spending that different on skills to unlock more skills? do you also enjoy waiting months to unlock the npcs that actually teach those skills? furthermore, does killing rats on the ass end of rori for even more months sound like fun?
>>
>>342946626
when will bas get jedi?
>>
>>342946521
Basilisk is still the best, but Basilisk doesn't even have Jedi implemented yet and when he will he will use the village system.

if you want easy Jedi, go bloodfin but its shit otherwise.
if you want Jedi be avaliable but be more than just a stupid mindless grind go Awakening, it will still be grindy but its less grindy and more of an actual fucking achivement. you will need the "blessing" of the admins so be nice and be social.

both Basilisk is better than them in all departments other than Jedi and the fact Basilisk will be wiped eventually.
>>
>>342946669
I dunno. I don't want Jedi everywhere either. It would be kinda cool to actually earn something for once.
>>
>>342938938
I left a massive guildhall full of hunting trophies on Sunrunner Dantooine, put 15 years worth of maintenance on it and then quit.

That guildhall will vanish soon. So sad.
>>
>>342946626
>Yes lets not do it the way the original was, lets just get given jedi without doing fuck all for it. Faggot
no one said not to make it a challenge, but the village was just a mindless grind. I think Awakening method is better - less grind and more reward for playing socially.
>>
>>342946816
What do you mean vanish soon? If that was on the original it's been gone for a few years now thanks to a horrible, shittier star Wars mmo.

Fucking this.

SWGemu is so dead, the people themselves don't even play the fucking game where many of them have their avatars running on a bot. The hype of SWGemu died down. Not even the Star Wars movie brought back people.

So many fucking keks I've had where I run into some random town in the middle of nowhere with people in them only to find that EVERYONE is afk, kneeling and being run on a crafting script.

I'm pretty sure that if SWG continued with pre-cu instead of turning it into the class based rpg, it would have died down just like things are now.

SWGemu is just full of bots now and I'm not playing until JTL. I quit right before it came out so I'm really interested in how it turned out.

I imagine by now it's never going to come out.

It was only fun when it was new and people didnt kow what they were doing. The exploring and interesting pvp between tons of scrubs was fun. Setting foot on a new planet and having no idea what was there because the mobs were too strong for 99% of people.

It's not fun when everyone knows everything about every single part of the game and has constant buffs to every stat they can manage before killing a womprat and then soloing a krayt dragon without taking 25% damage.

Everyone is a faggot. MMOs are all trash now because every quest, stat, and location is mapped out on 30 different website before the games are even released.

I still have an unused copy for the free trial that was in the best of PC collection. I've thought about trying to sell it at a yard sale with a bunch of other stuff but I wouldn't want to fuck a kid over.
