SWG Emu - Star Wars Galaxies private server

[Arelian]

So I don't know how many people are following this, but SWG Emu has gone into it's alpha status! This means the game is completely playable, and it's being updated fairly regularly.

You can go to http://www.swgemu.com/forums/index.php to learn more about the project and how to set it up. The line about needing the original discs is not necessarily true, either. I recommend visiting the following link: http://pastebin.com/9U2nmwm0

It has complete instructions on how to set everything up for play. The game is far from newbie-friendly, though, so don't expect any hand holding! The majority of people currently hang out in Mos Eisley, and given the fact that this is a very community driven game I recommend starting out there.

My current in-game name is Aleph Zayos, so gimme a hollar when you guys get it set up and perhaps we can get something goin'! I'm rolling as a carbine marksman/doctor for the time being.

So it's pre-CU then?

What about space combat? I want to kill some bitches with the old KSE Firespray. (Yeah, I had one back in the day. Awww yeah.)

[Arelian]

It is pre-CU, and I don't think Jump to Lightspeed is active - yet. There are definite plans to get it working, though.

I always loved Pre CU/NGE SWG.. I kept looking at this site but they always said it wasnt a playable game, and its been like that for like 3 years... so I thought it was just a dead website!

[Pikarya]

I wonder how long before C&D from father Lucas.

[Guyverarmor]

I'm totally down for playing this if it was pre-cu.

[Kuishen]

I kept my motherfucking SWG: Starter Kit discs. All 6 of them. For what appears to be less than 5 gigs. Oh technology, you so silly.

EDIT: Got it up and running, need to take some serious time and remap ALL of the controls.

If anybody figures out a way to map all camera movement to right mouse button let me know, cause that would be amazing since the camera controls in this game are ass.

I like the installation screen. Never had the chance to play this pre-cu, played trial multiple times, and I remember the whole "how the fuck do you get Jedi?" going around.

Name is Mezraq Cyclone and I'm absolutely clueless on what to do now after the tutorial. Need a gun on my Marksman and I'll be set.

[Kuishen]

Yeah I'm on Tatooine and I'm just like, NOW WHAT?

Also Marksman. Haven't decided what major class I want yet. How do you get Tera Kasi Artist? Which core profession gets to that?

EDIT: Kuishen Shinamari is my ingame name.

[Insanecyclone]

Went running around without a weapon as a headless chicken and punched the fuck out of some leaves, then got destroyed by Rontos/dos w/e they're called. Feels like my first time playing XI again.

[Kuishen]

Should have gotten a gun from the tutorial, the guy had the choice of giving me a pistol, carbine or rifle. The tutorial did seem a bit buggy though.

[Insanecyclone]

Damn, I'll just remake my guy instead then. Tutorial did seem buggy for me.

[Kuishen]

So seriously what's the best place to start after the Tutorial? Just start doing missions from mission terminals?

[Arelian]

I did a few delivery missions to get some credits, but it's fully sandboxed so you kinda... do whatever! Choose a class and start workin' on it.
