Thinking about joining SWG again

I discovered this website a few days ago and think it's great folks brought the old game back. I still have the CDs for the original game and Jump to Lightspeed but the Rage of the Wookies and Trials of Obi-Wan were digital downloads. Do you need all four of the original CDs to play the game? Does the server let you access the expansions?

Thanks

To answer your question, I only needed the three original disk.

Welcome home! Glad you found the server. It is really the most supportive group of folks out there. Just note that most of the NPC cities, save Mos Eisley, are pretty just used as transit. The action is at player cities around the galaxy. If you have any questions or need help getting settled in, The Journeymen <TJM> are always willing to assist. We look forward to seeing you in game. We are always looking for good folks to enjoy the game with. We are Imp/Neutral.

As far as the game discs are concerned, RotW and after are not on any EMU server. Those were post-cu expansions. You will only need the original discs for SWG. JTL is lurking in the wings and when the swgEMU server goes live with it, all of the other emu servers based off of its code will be able to have it. I hope this helps.

Swing by Bedrock and see Absinthe. She has newbie starter kits. food, drink, backpack, etc...

You will really enjoy the server. Folks are helpful, and want to have fun. This server is a little harder than others, but it is balanced and fun. Check out the player cities. There are vendors all over the place. Bedrock kind of caters to the newbie crowd. Lots of starter weapons in vendors, foods, armors, etc...

Come check us out in Bedrock (Scientific Society) and Mos Crumpit (Industrial Society), Tatooine. We have all the basic profession trainers, buffs, vendors, etc... AND the most beautiful location on Tatooine! Come get your grind on!

Thanks for the info! I can do without the Rage of the Wookies and Trials of Obi-Wan expansions but JTL was, and still is, the best open space system in an MMO. I had a lot of good memories flying with a crew on the multiplayer ships. I still haven't found another game where you can fly your ship, have friends in the same ship as gunners, and have a couple other folks on board playing a dice game watching the battle out of the window.

You are not alone. However only a few are working on a game that took many. And most are doing it on only free time. The core team for development are currently working on framework for JTL, so its not going to be out likely anytime soon... but they are finally at the point its becoming a reality. I believe DIrge or Shepard said a few days ago they want to focus on the FRS ranking first then they will jump fully into the rest. We would enjoy having you join us. Its really a great server... if you avoid LATCH.. damn BH's will turn on you quick.

I rejoined and have fallen back in love with it...nearly 3 months and 4 toons later, I'm still "crackin'" out on it. I never played pre-nge...it did take some getting used to but, I have made the transition. I am really hoping for JTL as I was first an old "X-Wing" player back in the 90's. Add the crafting aspect and space mining...oooooo. So Cool!

Anyway, glad you made it back. Hope you're still on.
