Trinket Bangles from Tempest 2002

[TrinketBangles]

Hello, I found this place today...Unsure of what to expect...worried I'll fall into a toxic pit of modern community mentality. I first played SWG back in 2002 when closed beta keys were something of a rare find and much coveted. At launch in 2003, I rolled a pretty Twi'lek Entertainer named Trinket Bangles on the Tempest server, she later became an Image Designer. I remember nothing but fun times, good people and so much world immersion. The community was the best I have ever come across. I later created a human Combat Medic named Tear'a, she later became the 2nd Jedi on our server after Itokai, He was a Zabrak. One of the people i remember best was a wookiee named AsianSensation, all white! I have since dug out my old dusty CD's to install..yet still worried of the type of people I'll find.

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. Look forward to seeing you in game.

I left Basilisk, wandered to a couple other servers. Been here more then a year now. The community is what keeps me here.

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

Hello and welcome back to SWG and to Awakening.

If there's anything I can help with, please feel free to contact me in game or on forums.

Awakening has it's own teamspeak, feel free to pop on there anytime. Come get to know us and have fun! Very good and easy way to meet and get to know people and ask questions galore. You can find most people hang out on MG channel as it's an open door policy so all sorts of riff raff come in .

Teamspeak channel: ts3.swgawakening.com

Contact Turin or ask in neutral chat for someone who can give you permissions on the teamspeak channel. If I am not in game, you can contact me via pm on forums and I'll come on to give permissions so you're free to move around on teamspeak.

I am the event coordinator and publicist officer in MG guild.
We have 3 cities on the server:
New Destiny on Corellia is located 1km south of coronet. I am mayor there on Inziladun. It is an entertainment district, which means 3 hour mind buffs. There are 24/7 buffers there supplied by Airy Bubbles the entertainer - her solo group with 3 faction pets, and Novro the doctor, supplying bivoli buffs in the beautifully decorated bespin cantina. New Destiny is known as a very busy business hub, being the home to a lot of the server best crafters and their vendors. You can find pretty much everything you need there. Also check out the wookie treehouse and Yt-1300 while in town.

MG also has 2 other cities both located on Tatooine:
Tuskens Bane will be celebrating its 2nd anniversary in April. The mayor of TB is Laschana. It is a beautifully decorated and laid out city with many houses and guild halls that are wonderfully decorated. Tuskens Bane is a research centre, meaning you get bonuses to crafting. Arykha is the full time entertainer there with an ATST solo group, and Arckaine is the doc buffer. 24/7 buffs are supplied in the brilliantly decorated cantina. Check out the 2 mustafarian bunkers and Caledonians incredible bespin shop as well as 2 very well stocked malls while in town.

The second city of Tatooine is the newly made Ghorfas' Ruin, which is located 900m from Fort Tusken. It is a medical city with a resident doctor pookielamb on the stage of the beautifully rustic designed cantina. It also is the home of 2 rebel and 2 imperial bases specifically located to the north and south of the city for faction grinding and base buffs. The city layout is currently getting set up with the city being split into rebel and imperial, and it will be a courtyard layout. With plenty of open area in centre of town to host events and pvp, pvp is openly encouraged here. There is a commando bunker mini mall set up that will have vendors very shortly and the cantina currently is looking for a full time entertainer but Tuskens Bane is only a shuttle trip away.

We do regular guild events such as pvp tournaments,quiz nights. And we have our Friday night krayt hunting. We have a lot of established players who daily go to geo caves,dwb,axkva and smc. They welcome people to join them to get involved and enhance themselves.

If you see any of the MG guys and gals around, we are all happy to assist anyone and are a massive family, so if we can help you out feel free to ask. Also feel free to use any of the cities facilities

Welcome to Awakening! Most likely what you will find is a awesome helpful community! It is rare we do not step up to help new and returning players. We have a great set of people on our server.. shout out if in General if you need any help!!! I have a number of items to hand out to newer players from the guild that used to be specifically for that purpose so please look Sionix up!

There are a number of good towns and guilds. Personally I would start with what planet you like best and go from there. If you plan on being a crafter you want a crafting Research town, preferably one that has ties to a town that has plenty of merchants to sell your wares. If mainly for adventuring go with a Entertainment district for 3 hour buffs.. just make sure there's a 24/7 entertainer and a doc set up there, or a Improved job market for more cash.

I hold Serenity Naboo (Entertainment district) and am a member of PHNIX. We also hold our sister crafting city Canton.. 150m meters from the Serenity shuttle. While we aren't a huge guild we are active, on daily and someone is usually there to help out. I can tell you we always are open to new players and happy to help you along. No matter where you decide, if you need help feel free to reach out and ask!

Tear'a!!
First, I was and still am a HUGE fan. I too am from Tempest since Beta. I however did not uncover my Jedi till just prior to Publish 9. My name there was Redheartwolf or my alt was TouchTheSky. I am sure you do not recall as since you were one of the few first Jedi, you were bombarded with many people's messages and mail.

Anyway, I will try not to creep you out. Welcome to our wonderful server of Awakening. I hope you enjoy your time with us and hope you have fun.

So just random comment to the original poster. I played on same server I was Lamaerina Caladan and was a human Entertainer. Also my toon was married to Asiansensation.

For something less copy/pasted and more to the point of the poster's actual worries, most player interaction happens in the forms of guilds, I believe. You won't find the same sort of immersive magic and wonder that the original game captured. Perhaps I'm simply terrible at finding people to talk to, but most of my conversation happens in the General chat or through tells. Most people seem to be trying to accomplish some sort of goal, whether your gathering all the POI's (heeeey), or grinding out several million weapon XP, or crafting something, everyone generally seems to be doing their own thing. I'm still relatively re-new, so my experience is clearly not the same as others will have.

There have been a few toxic players in the Awakening community, but most of them have either left or been volunteered for duty in the Outer Rim. I haven't met anyone real elitish or unhelpful, so you might be able to find a home here.


EDIT: I just noticed the original post is a few months old. RIP in peace.
