I was wondering if we had anyone doing a thing for Star Wars Galaxies. It would be kinda fun if we did, and if we actually do have one, is it still active? Either that or anyone messege me if they want someone to play with!

We used to have a SWG division, but it was closed before I even heard of this place.

Someone still plays? Even after the recent overhaul?

Jansen may still play. The SWG division never really caught on, unfortunately. The game has a lot of issues etc. to be resolved, but - I am not the expert since I never played.

There was an SWG section although it did get closed due to lack of people playing it. There was never a huge number and there were issues with the game which detered people like me from playing

I havent played since Rage of the Wookies came out (which i didnt really play but still bought and d/l!) so I've got no knowledge of how it works now.

There has been a considerable amount of strife amongst the game players lately due to something called the "New Game Enhancements" that have taken SWG away from where it once was. A quick google will give you the answers you want about that.

There was another set of combat changes that undid some of the NGE stuff. They labelled some of the original methods that they added back as "new content", or something like that

Yeah... A lot of those changes really suck. I read all the info on the wikipedia, and I had to laugh. Still, I like it, even if it is like a beta version game. It has some ups and downs.

Up: Star Wars
Down: The game

I have the trial version of Galaxies and I think it's great. I'm not sure if I've encountered any of its "downs" yet but I can already tell that it does have them.

Has the graphics engine finally improved yet ? The frame rate in cities was terrible when I last played.

Well all I know is that it LAGS HORRIBLY! I ordered the full version last night and Mos Eisley lags so bad it makes me just want to quit!

So nothings changed then! HA!

To save space on their server, they store the cities on your RAM/Hard Drive, this promotes quicker loading... for about 5 minutes, the massive amounts of lag are the computer accessing the hard drive to load the city rather then from the game. There is a command you can type that clears the cached files, use it every 30 mins and the game runs fine... if you have the 1GB of RAM.

They store stuff for a online game on you hard drive.

I am so glad that I play Guild Wars. I get very little lag and that is in mostly in one specific city.

Well I've learned to avoid cities now so I'm quite happy with the game
