So it looks like this thing is a total sham. The code was ripped off from another custom server and the admins tried to remove all of the credit from the people who started Tarkin’s Revenge server. Nice job. This thing will be up for about a week if that long.
My biggest MMO regret was never being able to play this game in its prime thanks to me being to young.
I tried to play on a EMU, one of the rare games I done that for, but the game seemed so dead. If anyone knows of a well populated EMU Server for SWG I would be very thankful
It was a pretty tight-nit community back in the day server to server. Most people knew each other in and out of the game, even if we were opposing factions. It was easy to see the same players day to day, and you actually would recognize folks. We had trash talk; but it wasn't as toxic, more office cooler sports fanatic level. I've haven't seen that level community commendatory in any MMO since.
I think a large part of it was because people generally tends to by guns and armor from the same few well-known crafters
I remember I was playing a neutral as a smuggler selling slices and spices to both factions lol
I think Benico Del Toro's line in the Star Wars movie reflect the neutral traders view in SWG best:
"It's all a machine, partner. Live free, don't join."
:P
Yeah, folks had their own brand. There was this chef on our server named Chickenboy who had the best foods on the sever, below him was this girl named Skylark, both had stores on every planet you could build on. I think they even had vendors on various city malls. It was a really cool thing to see.
than playing these bugged to hell, half functioning EMU monstrosities.
It would appear you don't know what you're talking about then. The EMU's are not "bugged to hell", nor are they "half-functioning". All of the emulators are constantly updated by very talented devs.
The original emulator was built from the ground-up and written by hand over many, many years, and is feature-complete as far as Pre-CU is concerned. Some of the current emulators like "Legends" use "acquired" code from the last moments the original official servers were online. Therefore, it is also not buggy, nor half-functioning since it's what was officially being used right before the official servers went offline.
Where you got all of the negative adjectives from concerning the SWG emulators, I'll never know. But you'd actually be surprised how fun it is to be in the SWG universe again, and be able to experience at least some of the joy we had beck in the day when this masterpiece was live.
