  • Hey dude, please do not post comments on what I missed.

  • Aw, I miss swg...it was much better than swtor.

  • @davycrocketful same here :(

  • oh no..this is sad..:( i wish id played this game..looks like ive missed out..

  • Thanks for posting, I lived on Rori on the Valcyn server. I really do miss the sounds and those Rori hills that made building property so much "fun".

  • SWG>SWTOR

  • I just love how this game has been out for the entire decade of my life, and only 3 months later do I find out its excistance. Well anyway, it wouldn't ever match the epicness of fully voiced story mode of all quests by Bioware (Best RPG game maker EVER) and the most amazing graphical entertainment of the worlds that I have ever seen.

  • @odstrooper117 He obviously never played PRE-nge SWG.

  • @odstrooper117 oh dude, ive played both and i can honestly say that swtor is an epic fail. play and see it yourself. swtor has no love and no soul, its a poor wow clone that gets boring very fast, no way to compare it with swg.

  • @pukcip83 I have never played SWG, but I've played WoW and I'm now playig swtor, and you can't compare those two games cuz they are VERY different.

  • @odstrooper117 You really don't know what you missed out in SWG compared to SWTOR and I played both (SWG longer). Trust me, SWG is better Pre-Cu of course.

  • Let's go to SWTOR

  • Nyan cat > TOR

  • It's a Star Wars MMO.. so you guys all have the expectation that it should be like SWG? SWTOR is a themepark MMO. if you prefered SWG over WoW.. you won't like it.. simple. They can't be compared. presentation and quality wise? ToR wins.. that's all you can really judge them on, graphics and storytelling.

  • Plz bring back SWG!!

    I fucking miss it!!!

  • lol i was so sad swg died :( had my fully decorated mustafarian bunker on lok :/ pre cu was so much better tho.. thanks alot SWGEMU for letting us relive that feeling again :3

  • SWG rapes TOR

  • SWG>SWTOR

  • It's like ToR is a step backward. :(

  • where can i play this at?

  • @DalleDayul Look up SWGEmu and you can thank me later. :D

  • choose life !

  • *Remembers a house on Naboo, by the river and sighs*

    SWTOR is nivce. it not an open Sandbox like SWG was though.

  • is sw the old rebublic the successor of swg ????

  • This video shows what I miss in SWTOR: silent moments and a enjoyable landscape! The leveldesign of SWTOR is crap. I canceled my account because I want to explore and get surprised, and not get hold up by "exhaustion zones". I dont pay for games like this,

  • @mrprodigy83 wow is kinda nice to explore tho

  • @mrprodigy83 totally agree. SWTOR feels totaly scripted and limited and linear

  • @420digitalpimps ya loadds of beta players cancled their pre orders due to how linear it is.

    u HAVE to do the quests to advance lol. kinda lame..

    how is the pvp? is it open world or is that all setup too?

  • @butthead6886 pvp is real lame. i did it one time and it was in a indoor battle arena where u play some type of football game...hutt ball they call it

  • @butthead6886 actually the pvp is as good or better than any standard mmo today. They do have a focus on open world pvp too as there are daily quests to open world pvp on a lvl 50 planet. It's not as good as the old days of setting up bases and taking them down in swg but don't really expect it to be that good. Who knows, maybe eventually they'll have player cities/bases. Don't expect any new mmo to start out as good as swg was.. 32 classes and player cities ftw. Swtor is still worth it though.

  • I miss SWG like crazy, but I freaking love SWTOR. Buy this game.

  • Bring SWG back.

  • Come to SWGEmu and play the Pre-cu SWG that we all loved. Join today.

  • @Magickennyd what the hell is that?

  • @Magickennyd I joined the day they announced its closing and no one was on , i have tried so many times but no one is ever on . No one is playing . Its as dead as swg was .

  • @KaiKatastrophee I was just on. Mostly everyone is in the Catinas. That's where people hang out.

  • They really should have made this f2p

  • i had a house on Rori,till' the empire burned it down. I was a Rebel Sympathizer.

  • tor cant tip to this (yet) they have EXTREMELY MUCH work to do to create some charisma.

  • This video was epic, I think. Great job bringing out the right feelings. +1

  • come to ToR now :)

  • great game. RIP SWG

  • Well, you have to hand it to SoE, they sure knew how to make good graphics. Even to this day, the graphics in SWG (well, were) great. And that is from an engine released in 2003 (probably begun working on it 1999-2000 or so.

  • @axxis30 I thought they were dated. Anyone can make high-resolution textures; the real measure of graphics comes from how they're applied. SWG just simply looked poor after almost a decade; animations looked unnatural, the height-map terrain engine was just not up to par (too "bubbly" and handled texture stretching over sharp height variances very poorly). Faces in the game just looked plain unnatural, and skin looked odd. Water was probably its weakest point. It was at its best with metals.

  • FUCK YOU SONY!

  • This is so sad. SWG was a great game. And I figured out a way to play it for free. Just to find that it would close down a week later. *Sigh*

  • I had all Addons for this game, SOE Pissed me off with the CU/NGE Patch... Insta Unsubbed..

    Should of renamed the game at the same time to "Jedi Galaxies, and those guys.."

  • Never played it but that sure was a heartless way to handle things. Shows not to spend much money on anything they make from now on.

  • I have one thing to say for Star Wars Galaxies:

    "The Force will be with you...always.

  • looking at the vid I can imagine how you have been thought... So sad.... :/

  • sad( 

  • Comment removed

  • SWG was more than just a game back then :), thank god i did play the greatest MMO there was

  • I play and love SWTOR, and wanted to play SWG when it came out. I just never had the money back then. That and I was young, thirteen maybe fourteen? In any case, call me a noon but I'll try this game if it comes back as F2P.

  • @gaddeiljr Check out swgemu.com - they are completly recreating the game to the point when it was at it's best. Any fan of the old school SWG (Pre-CU and especially pre-NGE) should check this out. Thumb me up so people can see!

  • Gave me goosebumps watching this. Reinstalling my swg on new laptop and pc and getting back on emu :)

  • @tombrossler1 lmao

  • Putting a beautiful ending to a beautiful game. I will always remember Galaxies, used to play it with my big brother back in the day when we were kids. All the blaster and city sounds bring back good memories. Even though I play The Old Republic now, Galaxies will remain a classic and revolutionary in the Star Wars fanbase.

  • I miss this game. Played from release until the NGE destroyed everything. Every MMO I've played since then seems shallow in comparison. We need a new sandbox game, seriously

  • @jiakenmin agreed,i quit at nge ,lol the emu is cool but ppl get tired of waiting and quit all the time

  • @jdhoutz They always come back though. I met a jedi today who was apparently around since 2006 and he came back. Soon (TM) the test center's features will be released on the play server, then we have player housing, and player cities, plus an alpha JtL part.

  • @PycasneEesost yup my gm buddy that does coding said thats happening januarary, so im hopin in like 15 hrs lol but prolly not that soon :( but housing will bring commmunity back

  • @jdhoutz Omg! * Squeals with joy* :D If it happened exactly when the ball dropped, that would be awesome!

  • @PycasneEesost yea,lol sure would

  • I feel sorry for you man. I never played this mmo but it must feel horrible if a game that you love is getting cancelled

  • So, lucas arts makes epic sandbox MMO, then screw it up. How do they try to fix the hole in star wars MMOs? by making a game with NO SANDBOX ELEMENTS AT ALL.

    Lucas was better when he had people to rein him in.

  • sad thing about this SWG was it was so lifelike and had so much depth, it really catered to peoples imaginations and just hopping in your ship and travelling omgggg

    A true sandbox mmo, why mmo's are taking a step away from this is beyond me....

  • But this does look cool

  • Guy's it's a game.....SWTOR is out now and you can play that instead.

  • @bionicillusion That is what LucasArts wants us to do. Besides, SWTOR is nothing like SWG, and we wanted SWG.

  • RIP to SWG, the first game to go through a beta phase from 2003 to 2011 and never actually release.

  • @bqpceagle2005 I see no true statement here.

  • Lucas screwed up big time,this MMO is the best MMO in the damn world.Does WoW have this much content? What about TOR?

  • This game did so many things right, too bad gameplay wasnt one of them. The immersion factor was very high though.

  • At least you can still get on SWGEmu to enjoy the scenery, but yeah, it isn't exactly the same experience. I can't believe you continued to play after the NGE. That event was akin to being married to somebody who at one point in your relationship gets into a horrible, brain damaging car accident.

  • looks sureal

  • Lets go to world of warcraft the best game ever. test it u will like it 100%

  • @xdmoath No... WoW has nothing on Galaxies. They're two completely different games.

  • SWG. The game where I hit max lvl in less than 2 days making a macro that repeats a previous macro containing skills. AFK, have coffee, ding ding ding... Wont miss it.

  • RIP swg

  • Its hard watching this. I would have done the same thing if I was there to experience the last few moments. I would go to my remote, lonely house on Naboo and just sit there. :( My house was in an awesome location that I spent a long time finding. I would sit right outside and count the minutes. SWTOR looks like a great game.... but I will never forget SWG.

  • Man I miss this game

    

  • whats swg?

    

  • @Maxmaster4563 star wars galaxys they shut it down to start up TOR the old republic which sucks

  • never played SWG in my life... but this video truly touched me... soo sad

  • Lol thiswill be SWTOR in a couple months

  • @stfuplzzzz SWTOR already came out...

  • @TheFlammableGas He is talking about when SWTOR get closed... I don't think it will, but it will loose a lot in a few months.

  • @PycasneEesost Oh I see...

    But, yea SWTOR won't get closed, it's like a REALLY REALLY LONG EXPENSIVE interactive movie.

    It may not lose a lot if Bioware keeps up what they're doing, and they might since they've got tons of future content done and already made their voice actors sign their souls to them.

  • @TheFlammableGas It might. The other interactive movie I know of was called "Star Trek Online" and its a major flop.

  • @PycasneEesost The thing is, it sucked. :\

  • @TheFlammableGas And so does... J/k. I didnt play it so I cant say, but it doesn't look entertaining to me. MY friends are bored of it already, including one who has been talking about it for a long time.

  • Fear not, it will be back. Check out SWGEMU, or SWG:ANH

  • @971QKE SWGEmu started in 2004 and should have been released with all vanilla features by no later than 2009. It's pointless now, the game is too outdated (in about 18 months is will be a decade old) - all we can hope for is something akin to a SWG 2.

  • @waofy People like you are full of crap. It doesn't matter how old a game is, just as long as its good. I don't worry about emu getting done after I watched the release of player housing on the test center.

  • PRE-CU FTW! I miss those days terribly

  • Funny. It actually looks better than that cartoonised pile of piss game: The Old Republic

  • So what happened when the game went offline?

  • @StuffedAnimalPlanet a message saying connection to SWG lost showed up on the screen then after around 30 seconds it put you into the character log in screen.

  • I feel sad about this and i never even played SWG O________O

  • @jergen07 Well if u never played SWG...thats probably a good thing haha. It was, at one time great but that was a long time ago.

  • @jergen07 Last good sandbox game there was.

    EA disapproves of competetition thou so SWG got bullet in the head. Play SWTOR or GTFO pretty much. XD

  • @Qmental naw its more like EA disapproves of sticking with a old game once a newer game comes out.... out with the old and in with the new is EA's moto.... just look at their other games... for example C&C generals got ditched for zero hour... then go ditched for the next game they released.... they dont even keep a janitor around to keep things tidy. they just take every employee working on the game and say if it breaks then its breaks, its a older game anyways... come to this new game.

  • @jergen07

    When a giant ass MMO world closes down its always a little bit sad , played it or not

  • Real life awaits.......

    Nah, you'll probably play SWTOR.

  • even though i joined swg after NGE i still had tons of fun, the game will be missed!

  • TOR rules!!! you i will blow your minds

  • its sad it was a great game i will miss it but now we have TOR to play now

  • this is why i hate rpg players

  • The game sucked!

  • Bitch looks like she just took an arrow to the knee

  • Sad.... So sad... I avoided these overly emotion moments by just thinking about SWGEmu. I know its not complete, but its playable. I still have my adventures :D Makes me calm. Its still sad that SWG live was a completed game, and Emu is just under development. Have to do what you can do though.

  • Comment removed

  • @PycasneEesost emu will be good to go soon,

  • :( i just now heared about this gamE? im gunna cry

  • @shawndy101 i going to miss it ): well at least i got old republic now...

  • this is fucking pathetic like u bitch

  • @Nwwlsfinest umadbro?

  • @Nwwlsfinest Seriously are you retarded? all you can say is bitch.

  • At first I thought this was a stupid video but 20 sec. in I could see how there is a lot of emotion behind it. It's like an entire world is being destroyed in an instant.

  • u needed the binary sunset theme on this. thumbs up though. 

  • @7thSmurf yeah, but they shoud relaunch it without those so called "improvements" that fked the game up :D How I wish it happened.

  • Now that this NGE shit is done with. Join us at swgemu-com and relive the great game.

  • @moparmon

    I would love to see a NGE enabled emu project.

  • It seems all the RPers hate tor...why? Cause u cant have a house...?

  • goodbye SWG hello SWTOR! :D

  • @7thSmurf check out the SWG EMU

  • get a life

  • omg it would be cool to put a meteor in the sky coming closer and closer to signify termination

  • swg may you rest in peace and may TOR BURN IN HELL!!!

  • i went to hang out with my jedi buddies roleplayed for a few hours then sat with my girlfreind in game and just cried SHAME ON SOE AND BIOWARE FOR DOING THIS I PLAYED THE beta OF TOR IT SUCKS SO BAD ITS LAGGY GLITCHY AND THE STORY SUCKS U CANT EVEN HAVE A HOUSE SERIOUSLY SO ITS FULLY VOICED SWG HAD RPING JEDI THAT COULD GO GOOD AND BAD NOT BE STUCK SITH OR JEDI AND THERE FLIGHT SYSTEM ITS JUST DRIFTING

  • @sabersloan You get a SHIP!

  • i havent played in years.. actually when wow was released i played both wow and swg but then i just got sick of soe fucking with shit.. i had a master terraskasi artist and had found my first holocron and just left the game.. i fuckin miss grinding out the sand people at the far south eastern corner of tatooine but its time to move on. R.I.P SWG i loved you then you spit in my face! "ill never give you back the ring tho" ;)

  • good video. almost poetic.

  • A load of my old guldies moved to EQ2... the story continues....

    I was a highwayman...

  • @Washu1973

    Yeah, we've had a similar split, a load went EQ, some, myself included, went SWGemu others are planning to go TOR.

    ...I'll fly a starship, across the universe divide...

  • for me although wandering the star wars universe was amazing, what really hooked me was the community. When CU hit and the first wave of friends left I was sad, when NGE hit and almost everyone left the devastated me. SWG was not about being story driven or content, it never needed content, the world was the content and all the great people in it.

  • Haven't playing since 2008 and only got to about level 37, but damn am I going to miss this game....

  • i played swg for 7 years and left after i saw the producers note about the shut down

  • all you galaxies players can join us in the old republic, itll be great. farewell galaxies *salute*

  • SWG was way more sandbox then SWTOR will be; big downside, and one of the only ones; you can't even have any ship customization, or even have a roleplay description for your character.

  • There is always SWGEmu (pre-CU).

  • damn dude, this vid really made me sad for SWG fate. . .  i mean SWTOR will be ten times better but i understand taht SWG has its little moments that cant be captured in another game. Im sure SOE appreciates your loyalty, hope to see you in SWTOR!

  • is it me or does this game still have better graphics then SWTOR? maybe i drank to much koolaid.

  • The game sucked balls, goodbye WoW now

  • you know that there a free and legal version called Star Wars Galaxies Emu. you need the CD. maybe you people like the idea. i want a jedi or starships, they look that they are taking the idea to use again jedis and are testing to have starships. maybe it dosnt work like SOE power but its free and its a legal fan made

  • @juanfjimenez9 Star Wars is still LA's intellectual property. If they feel the EMU is going to steal enough potential subs from TOR then they will get a cease and desist issued against the EMU devs. It is NOT an issue of SoE coding being stolen and action being taken on that. an intellectual property is much bigger than that. Even them calling it Star Wars Galaxies Emu infringes on the Star Wars copyright even if no money is being made.

  • @BrittaanyBanks This is something they are well aware of but the fact they aren't making money off of it keeps them in the clear. Even if there was a problem by the time they are finished with it and when it would have any effect on TOR would be too late for lucas to do anything about it. The servers would be handed out and they would have to go after people hosting them.

  • @HerenIstarian I downloaded a game to my android. It was a pokemon game. It was provided for free by the creator. However it got pulled from the android market because it infringed on the copywright.

    Emu is no different. Providing a SW game even if it uses your own code it still has Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, etc, etc etc. Again.... no money has to be made for the infringement to take place.

    Do not put it past LA to go after all EMUs. They have the reach.

  • @BrittaanyBanks Was the version you played using the same code as Pokemon? If they just took the code, edited it, thats copyright infringement.

  • @BrittaanyBanks Actually, you purchase the rights of those characters when you buy the game itself. Everything on the disk, you paid for. The models, and names are on the disk. The code is not. That is why it is completely legal. Really, if you don't know law, you shouldn't talk about it because 'one' time something got pulled down.

  • This was a real shame:(

    

  • i fucking love SWG why did they have to ruin it i played for 7 years till i was 14 and saw the note about it shutting down

  • FUCK SONY

  • With upgrades, this game could at least look better than SWTOR, but I still preffer the latter.. cheers

  • Comment removed

  • if it was possible i would digitally piss on this games grave

  • I remember I started playing this in '05. Damn, I wish I still had the chance. :(

  • I like TOR, it is fun to play, but those of you who quit SWG because of the combat upgrade and the NGE are in for a rude surprise as TOR is exactly what LA was trying to get SoE to turn SWG into.

  • @BrittaanyBanks Thats about the most ignorant statement I've ever heard. TOR is nothing like what they dreamed SWG to be. You have no idea what the LA team had in store. What they developed and what is now there is what they imagined, and its nothing like what TOR is now. TOR is different in every aspect of the game.

  • @shelvanuberwan You are right. The original devs dreamed SWG to be something much greater then it was. Unfortunately they never realized that dream. It may have had potential but it was never realized. Player base was dwindling rapidly well before the CU and they changed the game. Player base was still crumbling so LA slapped the NGE on it. Look at many of the things added after the NGE and they mirror things in TOR like the skill point system, warzones, heroics, etc.

  • @BrittaanyBanks That is completey incorrect.. After NGE is nothing like TOR.

  • i remember wanting to get this wen i was like 10, but i couldnt cause it was online but i still do wanna play it. y would they shut it down?

  • said my goodbyes on Naboo long ago after the 2nd re-vamp....I hope SONY goes under and I mean that:)

  • swg died in 2005 with the combat upgrade

  • people if u want to play swg try out swgemu ! its a private server ! find out more in my profile on how to play !!!
