My SWG story

[kyyp]

I still remember my first day in SWG. I had some money left over on payday after paying all my bills so I thought to myself "I think I'll go get a new game". I saw a Star Wars game on the shelf, it was an online game (which I was totally against back in 2005) but hey it's Star Wars. Bought it, loaded it up, created a wookiee and loaded into the game (Tarquinas server) and was immediately greeted by very nice folks standing in front of the star port. One person invited me to a group and then taught me what seemed like every language in the game. I was amazed at just how friendly and helpful everyone was. I opened my skills window and was blown away at the possibilities. For the next 2 days I started on the path towards Entertainer, taking missions and traveling all over Tatooine shaking my Wookiee ass for credits, then one morning I wake up and try to log in and when I get in I realize this is not the same game I started 2 days before. Suddenly all those great professions were gone and there were only 9 possible paths to choose from. I had lost my chance to really explore this massive game.Well the rest of my story is like most other pre-nge folks, I got pissed off and logged out for the next 3 weeks. I eventually went back to the NGE and stayed until the very last day, but I always wished I had started a few months earlier so I could have experienced the original game more.
So as I start playing Awakening it's like coming home to a whole new game. It's been 11 years and the community hasn't changed one bit. You guys are just as friendly and welcoming as you were back in 05. right now I am having to re-learn the game but after I figure more out I want to get into a city and a guild and really become a core member of this wonderful community.
I guess this was a long-winded way of saying "I missed this game so much, THANK YOU for bringing it back" and from a 45 year old Star Wars nerd

It is an entertainment district so 3 hour entertainer buffs, home to server famous sistri and airy who both entertain in the bespin cantina. Also other rare buildings to see are wookie tree house and yt1300(millennium falcon style) house. There are plenty of well decorated shops,a massive mall and a lot of tent shops.

Welcome! 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. Look forward to seeing you in game.

Come check us out in Bedrock, Tatooine. We have all the basic profession trainers, buffs, vendors, etc... AND the most beautiful location on Tatooine!
