"To win in battle, know your enemy. To win in life, know your weakness."
- Miyamoto Musashi




Out of practically nowhere this team comes out of the woodwork and introduced their Server, which runs an NGE Version of Star Wars Galaxies. Turns out they have been working on it in secret for quite some time, which is odd as I know many of their developers and the bastards never told me!

From what I have seen it is pretty much completed, including JTL. Runs like a breeze, virtually no lag at all.



From their forums they intend their live play server to have "No admins, no rules. Pure anarchy let the community police itself."

It features everything the NGE version of SWG had to offer in its entirety.

Didn't like that video? Here's one I took instead of some Working JTL and my terrible flying skills.

Well at least we have choices now. Run a buggy pre-NGE version with a stale economy and playerbase or run a version that works but is NGE.

On the other hand maybe choices don't help that much.

NGE is basically seen as the dumbing down of the absolutely fantastic profession system, but it came with a ton of content. Ideally, SWGEmu will provide Publish 14 gameplay with Trials of Obi Wan/JTL/Kashyyk gameplay.

So, are they still in testing? They were last I checked a couple months ago.

Always loved this game, even though pre NGE I wasn't very good and the skill progression felt like it took forever do get any skills. I still kind of missed it though when I tried the NGE stuff.

Is there any word when they'll save player progression? Same reason why I don't play Basilisk

Huh? Maybe I'm not understanding something but Basi has saved your character for multiple years.

Yes, but it will get wiped when they launch Suncrusher. I just want a decent SWG server that is live and with the promise of permanent progression. Bloodfin is the only one that does that so far.

When they exit their stress testing and put up a live play server, it will be persistent.

I hate to break it to you but every SWGemu is based from Basi code. Basi hasn't been wiped for years and I doubt it will finished for years. They want to make it perfect (or near enough). Servers like bloodifn etc are still based on Basi code but with added bits in.

E - I have had characters on basi for 3 years I think and they are still there. Jedi village isn't open let alone JTL so many more years yet.

I can't imagine wanting to play NGE. That loving over-the-shoulder camera alone tears it.

Isn't this based on the leaked source code?

And that's why I've given up on the SWGEmu, The Repopulation and Star Citizen will be out before Suncrusher launches.

I'll do it to play the legacy quests.

You can change the camera angle in options back to behind you and not offset.

To say the least. Well, to be fair it wasn't really an emulator considering they used illegally obtained SOE source code.

Probably for the best that this one died.
