So why sign up? well, I stumbled upon a couple of videos uploaded to YouTube by Gospel and saw that someone had finally taken the SWGemu and created a pre-CU that captures the golden period perfectly, i.e Jedi unlock system secret (hopefully kept that way) and hopefully free of the mass Jedi grind that followed the holocron drops by the SOE muppets.
I hope to keep track of how things are going while I'm on the road and when I eventually return home, I'll get myself another copy of SWG (been kicking myself for a long time about dumping my original copy)
So onto the intro:
Your mains name on awakening: Warribo
Alts(if you want too list)
Profession: TKM in the day but want to dip my toe into each one, CH being top of my list followed by CM.
Favorite Planet: So hard to pick one, Tatooine will have to be up there as it just reeks of Star Wars.
Favorite planet to live on: Spent a long time living on Corellia before flowing my guild to Dantooine, before then moving to Naboo when my guild eventually left the game.
SWG Experience (How long you played on live or in what update pre-cu/CU/NGE)
I lived in the UK when SWG was released and tried to wait for the EU version to be released but I couldn't and ordered my copy from the US, hence I missed a few weeks and started playing around mid to late July 2003 (thank god I missed the sever rollbacks).
I played on the Valcyn server even after the EU version was released (don't think character transfers when offered at the time), for me I ended up joining an Australian guild called VictoryFlawless (vF), mainly playing on my own until the early mornings when the Oz's woke up and then back on my own during mid-day until the American guild members woke up in the afternoon.
Sadly a lot of my guild members left when WoW launched, but a fair number remained loyal to SWG.
I played a giant wookie (hence the name) and became a Master Commando, then dropped the profession a month before they brought in the patch to give players profession badges
I've played lots of professions, BH, Medic, Smuggler, Ranger, TKA, Pikeman, Pistoleer, Rifleman, SL, Carbineer, Swordsman, Armorsmith, Tailor, and thanks to the Holocron grind... Dancer... so embarrassing, can you imagine and giant Wookie dancing in the cantina, I couldn't exactly hide ^-^
So then we come to Jedi, I unlocked Jedi after the CU hit, which really annoyed me. I created my character on the understanding that if I were to unlock Jedi, the Jedi would be a new character, not my same character. For me a Wookie Jedi never seemed quite right, but I was stuck with it. And eventually completed my Jedi template a few weeks before the NGE hit. That's when everything turned to the brown smelly stuff to me. I stuck it out for a few months before eventually hanging up my lightsaber and I've been cursing SOE everyday since.
