I would have to say the most fufilling things i did was help newbies and the city/clan and ranger tracking for other people.and building the best damn L7 sheilds on my server for a short while anyways. Serving others,how bout everyone else?

Telling my friends how cool SWG is used to be fun. Seeing them log in for the first time and introducing them to the game used to be fun.
Trying to get any of them to join me in any MMO is now futile.
I PvP'ed but I would never rate myself as good in that regard.
As an Imperial though, I know I did my part. It was recruiting.
At Mos Eisley, I would always be geared as a Stormtrooper. I'd help out new players until they get the swing of things. Oftenly, I'd help them out over the course of a few days until they achieved 2 things: Know how to survive in Dantooine (mid level threats). Know how to work in a group.
It surprised many newbies that you could join the Empire. Combine that with me helping them (friendly neighborhood Stormie) so much, they were eager recruits into the Empire. I never belonged in a guild. But my concern was getting them to join the Empire, period. They will through their own adventuring find an Imperial guild to join.
It was satisfying. I may get waxed in PvP. But I know a decent number of fellow Imperials were there in the fight because I brought them in.

3000 HAM doctor buffs then.... no more
built one of the major imperial guilds in bria (TIE) Twin Ion Elites
took over two cities (i know that was really mean and was a cheapshot and i felt bad... sort of...they where rebel... rebel scum...)
and most importantly, took lots of screenies
I didn't keep my screenshots. I deleted them over a year ago. Awful reminders of what once was.

For me, the most fulfilling thing is finding a totally lost and confused new player and showing them the ropes. Explaining how things work.
My absolutely favorite thing, ever, was escorting them to really cool POIs, like the Lars Homestead and Jabba's Palace, and taking them totally by surprise when doing so. I did this with one of my steady hunting group partners/future guildies in August of 2003. I had the advantage of being in beta and knowing where those places were, and this was before you got the POIs in your datapad, so the two of us set out from Anchorhead to Wayfar on foot and I steered us to first the Lars Homestead, and then of course to Jabba's. We also went to the old Tusken camp outside of Wayfar and did some grinding! That was one very fun Saturday.
CH, Jedi, Commando, Smuggler, BH, Scout, Doctor, Chef, BE...yeah, lots of SWG time invested.

Ant these posts show the community we had because i also would say helping others guiding a new player in the ways of SWG no shouts of noob just helpful advice and hunting party's.
One guy i helped on his 1st day my 3 GSP's (greater sludge panthers) just before it got nerfed to max 2 tanking and taking agro whilst we leveled from range as there where no buffs then, to this day i still speak to him almost daily either on the phone or MSN we have been to each others houses despite living opposite ends of the UK.
This was the community the origonal SWG promoted through its features and its maturity level to learn it.
The most fulfilling thing i've done is probably taking part is some of the PVP, My BH/BM is good at PVP and eats rebels for breakfast, although thinking of getting a structure crafter to support it and my guild.
Pre-cu Fanbois,
There will be no rollback.
Go outside - Get a life,
It's not coming back.
We arn't giving you your game-back.
So go outside, and realize that you've wasted 2 years.

I came in CU, not pre-cu. But I still had a lot of fun. I was an architect and made it to master. I played an Ithorian. Some of the best fun I had was going from vendor to vendor seeing what was availible for him to wear. I had him dressed in an all white medic outfit with a crafter smock and Ithorian goggles. He looked like a big nerd. People would come up and talk to me about. I met quite a few people that way and enjoyed the community.
I eventually started working on shipwright and made some credits there.
When I would try to place my harevesters it was a real chalenge because I was aggroed by everything and would die easily. It took strategy in my approach. It was fun.

I sat on my a$$ in camps all day. Ok not really, I did steal a chair or maybe it was the datapad from a camp once but that was waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day and long before my R2 unit handed my LS to a smuggler for a nice little slice job. Oops, I forgot we don't talk about bugs like those anymore. Anyway, I really can't think of many things I did in the game that were "fulfilling" other than forming friendships with some incredible people.

I created a guild known as –Revolution Industry- on Sunrunner. We started as a small group on Naboo and eventuallty moved to Corellia where our Metropolis REVENA became one of the biggest and most efficient on the server. Eventually, -REV- became one of the most influencianal rebel guild on the server.
It was a very interesting time for me and my guys to see all the love and hate coming our way. Despite the facts, our city was able to run on it’s own just by the sheer amount of people living in it and paying the taxes. The city was actually able to survive without any additional income. 250+ citizens and a guild of about 150 members. Our city was also surrounded by 12 faction HQ so let’s just say, it was never boring.
One of the coolest thing we created was the ALL channel that was ran by a series of Macros always in loop. It allowed access to every Rebel guild leader (of our choice) to stay connected on the same chat channel for better coordination.
We had good and bads and I’m sure when we left another guild made something even bigger and better then us but at the time, we had the record
best times i had on swg was when i was in the guild ABK "AnyBodyKillers" on Lowca best friends i had in any MMO game we would hunt down all Jedi rebel or empire pissed them all off druing there grind in CU days good times but when we droped our BH skill to do the Jedi quest and we were all jedi game was not so much fun wish we stayed a BH gank squad, loved to be a master saber and defender but was just not the same anyway that game is dead to me now SOE will never get one cent from me EVER AGAIN
i was Eder
Outside of combat and raiding with my guild, and fighting off BHs with my Jedi, I had a great deal of pleasure putting my overweight Rodian chef into her scarlet chef's hat and apron and dancing outside Bestine starport, singing her advertising song to attract customers to her beautifully decorated tent just outside the town limts.
In the oldest days, right after I mastered AS (Aug 03), I was able to craft a set of composite boots that had 100% percent protections. This was way before they put in the 90% cap and knew it was even possible to get stats that high. I was able to do it using a set of 3 42% NS shards that dropped off a NS elder. I traded the guy free personal armor for life for those shards (hell of a good guy too). I had them in my shop as a trophy. When boots lost their percentage stats after the CU, they converted to just another pair of boots (thanks SOE). I had a screenie somewhere of the boot stats, I'll have to see if I still have it...
All they needed to do to test their systems was to create spawns of "perfect" resource, then use them to craft the components with perfect outcomes,then see what the end result was.
Very simple, very obvious. But they didn't do that, and when players were able to "beat" the crafting system by doing exactly what the system encouraged them to do, the reaction was not to modify the system, but to punish the players for beating it, by making all their accumulated resources worthless and restarting the cycle with the same flawed system in place.

Qualifying as one of the first half dozen or so Master Tailors on Lowca, and then setting up my shop in the noman's land between Bestine and Anchorhead. I'd be fitting people and helping them with color selections while these huge PVP gun battles were raging right outside my door; on more than one occasion, an exhausted Imperial or Rebel (I was studiously neutral, like any good capitalist should be) would stumble wounded into the shop and buy a few shirts before heading back into the fray.
Then when it got late, I'd slip on an exotic leotard and go dance in either of the two cantinas, depending on whether I wanted to dance for imperials or rebels.
Good times. SWG is the only--the ONLY--game I''ve ever seen that tried, and came to within an ace of managing, to appeal equally to both action game and social game players. If they'd just kept the basics of the pre CU social and profession system and added in more rewarding action content for the gun bunnies, they'd have had a game that truly broke the mold. But they threw that all away to chase the chimera of WoW.
--Chastity
For me they were:
1) Master Riffleman/Master CH...Hunting and grinding with my three greater sludge panthers..*sick*
2) Master Riffleman/Master TK/Fencer....Being one the best duelist on my server...my dodge skill was off the chart...I remember standing infront of Coronet space port spamming for challengers
3) All out assault with my fellow rebels on Bestine and killing those damn IMPS
4) Getting ganked by those damn IMPS while AFK but actually taking them down :P
5) Puchasing top of the line quality rifles from the best weaponsmith on my server...Metalkid
6) Standing in front of Coronet space port and training pets for players when mounts first came out
7) Hunting Giant Kimogilas on Lok with my fellow guildmates
8) Meeting some of the greatest friends and forming our guild (BNC) and building our city...I have yet to meet better people and greater friends from other MMOs that I have played...
*sigh* good time...good time
chef and bh
Grinding all day long till the day i unlocked jedi o_O
List of SOE lies
It sounds like most of enjoyed the same things in SWG. I loved helping out new players on Eclipse, helping out guild members when they called for it, and setting up weekly guild events. Also loved going to Dant and being able to find a group to level up with.

Corellian Run
Jedi Sentinel
Most fulfulling thing i did in SWG?
Helping all those twi´lek dancers through collage.
Un-Locking Jedi and grinding to Guardian and not really knowing how powerful I was until I was attacked by 3 rebels killing them all I finally realizied I was uber!!!
Logging in the first time and going wooooooow what a game!
Building a powerful Guild on Starsider called TEH part the Imperial Alliance!
Just playing and always having something to do.
Ajax
Theres so many TBH...
But i got to say the funnest thing in SWG for me that i couldnt get enough of was phase 3 and 4 during the Village!!
Phase 3 as a helper there was nothing better that to get a group of wide eyed jedi hopefulls and watch them get mowed down like grass with the thugs then helping the unlock that phase most of them where so happy it was really frikkin cute!! and phase 4 for the Carnage
!!
Finally mastering Artisan, Weaponsmith and Merchant. And becoming one of the most well known and respected Weaponsmiths on Ahazi.
Opening Az'Tech Weapons, in New Roseholme on Naboo.
Crafting 20 Krayt Scatter Pistols in one sitting, without losing a single piece of tissue. All for the same guy.
Being logged in on my alt account, and standing at Coronet Starport listening to random players talk about Az' (my main) and my store, and then watching other people join in and also talk about my gear, was truly amazing.

I would have to say the 1 memory that always comes to mind is when I first started playing. I had'nt really ever pvp'd before and was out doing rebel faction missions. When I walked unknowingly flagged into Bestine I was attacked by some other players 3-4 that camped me at the cloning station. Needless to say at the time I was pissed but never before have I EVER gotten such a rush from any other MMO as that 1. My heart was pounding jumping out of my chest, hands sweaty, and pissed off for a good 30 min atleast. Some nice people saw my situation and came to my aide on there own accord.
From the solo grp missions on Dant, waiting in looooooong lines for the HUGE superman Dr buffs, Entertainer buffs, to that endless grind to become force sensitive. The socialism and player interaction in this game was awesome and something I will always keep close at heart as this was my first real MMO.
I signed on to my old acct after being gone since right after JTL came out and tried it for a few weeks. I can honestly say that I was sad to see that everything had changed. The server was dead as the same fate for all of my friends/guild mates. I almost wish I hadn't come back to try but atleast I can say I did. I won't repeat all the other post's regarding hating SOE/LA because I don't I played EQ2 for a couple years and did enjoy my time. To all the other Vets out there I deeply feel your pain.
After all the mmo's that I have played since all had been different but nothing IMO compared to it. All I can say is that since there hasnt been a decent sci-fi based mmo since, I can't wait for SGW (Stargate Worlds)
