  • bioware won't ruin tor because every one of bioware's games have been awesome. mass effect, dragon age, baldur's gate. combined with lucas arts it'll be a great game. its obviously SoE's fault. they messed up SWG and now their messing up dc universe online.

  • Watching this video makes me real sad...reminds me of the days when SWG was the shit until SOE F'ed it up for everyone. One of them making Jedis access to everyone by doing a simple quest. *sigh*

  • i still play cuz im a devoted starwars fan im axab lvl 90 jedi on starsider

  • .....oh ya, like the naked maniquins(sp?) ya have. LOL

    Hope TOR is good when it comes out. Will play the sith out of it until Bioware finds its way of ruining a masterpiece.

  • I still remember the first NPC Dark Jedi on my srvr we owned. It took like 20 of us 3 runs at him with creature handler pets keeping the battle going while we spawned and ran back. That was 2 months after its release and the most powerful guy in the grp was a master marksman with a few rifleman traits. LOL, those were the days.

    The long distance runs to Jabbas palace before the personal bikes were available. I quit at the CU when my 3500+ doc buffs turned to sithy stims!

  • Can i buy your account please? How mutch would you sell it for?

  • @ChaosOfSpartan To be honest, I'd rather just let it rot away at the moment. Or leave it so I can log-in one day before they close up shop.

  • @Anachronous 50$? D:? If you say no its fine.

  • do you still play?

  • @sullustanmel I haven't played for quite some time.

  • ah the memorys (=

    

  • Back in the pre-cu days, my guild which were all RL friends, would group up and hunt on Dathomir. One of my friends was a master ranger. He'd set up the camp after we spent a few hours killing everything and we'd all hang out and shoot the shit at his awesome camp. Good times.

  • @Vomitore Those are some of my first memories from SWG. Hunting groups, rangers, camps. Everyone working together, helping each other.

  • @Anachronous Same. I've tried playing it recently and it just doesn't seem anywhere near as social/fun as it used to be. camping out and talking to people, hunting, hanging out in the cantinas and shit was awesome. alot of fun. now it just seems empty..no where near what it used to be.

  • the game is ok now but i wont play anymore because all SoE does is make FOTMs every 3 months a new one is made and the old FOTM is ruined more than before it got "balance passed". they have no spines, they dont play their own game, and let the loudest forum whiners make all their decisions for them thinking if they do this they might draw back their elusive original fans but all they do is run off their new ones with their indecisiveness and ongoing pay $15 a month for a 7 year beta phase

  • what did SoE do to this, i quit this game in like 05-06

  • @mattatthome It got better in my opinion, I'm playing present day an I still enjoy it alot.

  • From 2005 to present day, this game got Gang rapped by SOE!

  • Ahhh, the memories, the past. I was originally really skeptical about the NGE and the CU, because I was a master Creature Handler and master Rifleman on Ahazi and everything was demolished, but now Ive warmed up to the idea of levels. Its not all too bad, but it will NEVER be the original star wars galaxies that we all came to love.

  • do you pay for this game?

  • its taken a massive leap since 2003 all the way to 2010

  • man, when I started back in Dec. 03 i started at Talus, wondering around for a week as a clueless chicken, my first decent conversation whas with a guy who claimed to be a smuggler, he would "upgrade" my weapon if i lend it to him, i remember running away thinking he whas trying to steal my weapon, rofl I miss being a noob :(

  • i remember when i first played this game i would get goosebumps from the vastness...other than eve biggest game ive ever played.  truly epic

  • love this game.

    hey! im making a new star wars series check it out!

  • SoE are murderers. They murdered everything, a good game, the foundation and stepping stone of future good games, and the murdering of the milllions of souls that have gotten reaped from what used to be the ultimate star wars experience.

  • @surrender127 Yep :/ All new game are crapy wowlike now :s

  • @viracco nothings wrong with wow but starwars and wow no good combo

  • @surrender127 Not just murdered but ended. :,(

  • Guys, there is a pre-cu SWG out. It is free and also pre-cu. They havn't quite finished it yet but it will be done "soon". Google SWGemu or SWG emulator!

  • yes, the SWGEmu is awesome.

    of course, there are no official Etas, but the Emu has a big friendly community and it grows closer and closer to completion

  • You can allready play at the test server :) .

  • ITS sooo coool!!!11!!11 They finished a whole planet and half of it doesn't work. Theres no space, no content, and no one playing. EMU is a crackpipe dream failure.

  • which emu ? I want to play good old times again !!!

  • Its the SWGEmu

  • Is there a way we can get the full version free? I really dont wanna pay.

  • look for SWGemu

    IT IS AWOMSOME MAN FREE AND WILL BE BETER THAN THE ORIGINAL ONE

  • Been waiting for it for years. Will never come out.

  • SWG Pre-NGE FTW !

    I miss the good old days. =(

  • awesome movie

  • Great video has been missed a lot we will have swg back some day though.

  • do u have to pay a monthly fee for this game or sumtihn like?

  • great video, fuck nge i loved swg

  • how'd you get to that place at 2:49?

  • Corellian Corvette.

  • does it start from that guy at jabba's palace?

  • starts many places

  • soe seriously messed up the game. play for 3 years already and in that time they already messed up so much. Always wanted to play preNGE...

  • 2:15 almost made me cry :(

  • S w g e m u . c o m

    T r u e g a l ax i e s . c o m

    Bringing back what SOE destroyed.

    Hurry before this comment gets marked as spam, just remove the spaces.

  • can you play it for free ?

  • Yessir.

  • and how can i enter ? i make an acount on your site ? or i need an existing acount ? an oficial acount ?

  • make a account on the website and they will tell you what to do next.

  • i remember when this game was an rp, mmo, pvp, and strategy game then soe had to go and fuck it up. all in all nice vid

  • This video made me cry lol

  • This game was so brilliant. I´m really looking forward to "The Old Republic"

  • Ya, it use to be a game. Now it's just an SOE stock investment for those who continue to support their terrible business ethics.

  • SWG pre-NGE was epic :/ nothing did nor will ever succeed it.

    and NGE.. completely failure feel sorry to any of the newcomers into the game that play it :/ in all honesty a toddler's ABC learning game would e more enjoyable.

  • Nice video. It was also one of my favourit games I played. But then SOE came ...

  • Wonderful memories... thanks for creating this!

  • swg was epic before SOE ruined it!

  • the game is actually getting better... But its still horrible no matter what. They are planning on ending the game.. or something like that. But anyways.. Im actually happy that CU and NGE happened cause due to SWGemu.. we can play it.. for free :D

  • Yup, long live the Emu!

  • WOOO :D

  • how can we play for free ?

  • SWGemu..

    Not finished... They are still making it.

  • :( hell that bitches who did this to SWG. hate them.

  • NGE sucks. If you joined after the NGE you don't know what real SWG is. I was a holocron Jedi. What happened to the game is tragic.

  • Holocron jedis's Suck ! the real Jedi were the people who discover the voice, without Holocron at the beginning !!!

    RIP SWG

  • what is CU? and NGE?

  • CU: Combat upgrade.

    NGE: New game experience.

    I really dont know wtf are they... cuz i never played the game, but i want to get it.

  • CU + combat upgrade

    NGE + new game enhancments

    u should play this and the emu the emu is a remake of pre cu the best version of the game reply back if u want it its free and u can download in like 15 min

  • EMU? Where!? *starts looking around for it*

  • HOW ?? PLEEAZE

  • I joined up after NGE, but I'd still like to say I think this is a brilliant game tbh. Great planets/ scenery (apart from if you get sent on Bounties to Tatooine too much!), some great people on there, some great times to have. Plus I hear Hoth Instance is coming, and that vehicle combat will be introduced as part of it, maybe further intergrated.

    As empty as the galaxy's have got recently, as little you hear of newer players, I'd say the Force is still with this one :)

    (scuse the awful pun)

  • It's still an amazing game. Poor babies who already spent years of their time infront of a screen,thinks all their hard work is goen. It's not. They make more and more chapters to the game. The meatlump themepark, the rebel themepark, and now all of the new instances. Plus the trading card game?! Seriously, suck it up.

  • I don't care about hard working being gone. I just miss how great the community used to be. BTW You either work for SOE or you're a moron. Trading Card Game? what the shit

  • .. Get on galaxies once and a while and learn about the new system. I don't work for any company. Stop bitching about the new game enhancements, and just deal with them. We have a lot more things now. Hoth's coming out with in two or three weeks. More instances, quests, and everything

    Learn to move on, you baby

  • I think NGE would be a great game if it was the original SWG. However the original SWG was so unique and diverse in terms of what you could do, so many different ways to BS and so many different proffs. It was nice to have game where you didn't have to do any combat or could mix up combat with a crafting proffesion/entertainer. The game felt like a real micro-universe. When NGE hit it took away all these complex features, and took away most of the player base which I enjoyed. Your NGE'S SoE WoW.

  • You're right. I always wanted to be able to be two professions. But a lot of the reasons why people quit is because the Jedi, who spent months trying to become one, felt like all their work was for nothing, give them a cloak and say Congrats, Elder Jedi. Either way, you still have to work AS hard to become something big in the game.

  • Nah mate it's because they turned a cool unique MMORPG into something shitty like Wow.

    Read all the Goodbye SWG vids all the veterans and pre cu players all left after the CU and NGE

  • SWG+NGE=DEAD SWG

    Shame SOE are to blind to realise

  • Game used to be awesome, then they made NGE

  • *Stupidity*

  • SOE is going to choke on their own fucking stuidity. NGE...lol where do you begin?

  • sry to hear that jackbamm cuz it does own, i've had it for a year now, then i got addicting so had to stop playing but i'm back, this game is so fun

  • i am level 90 and i am in a guild

  • Ive tried this game and i think it OWNS! im a bounty hunter on trial, but i got a problem. When i start the game it says problem client stuff. When im in it its fine but as soon as there si a little lag it exits the game. It said try scan full, i have done that and it didnt do anything, please if anybody can help me tell me!

  • i recomend you do play it they are just lazy f***s who cant be bothered to ajust to the better side of the game

  • ive tried the emu it sucks

  • Ok Ok. NGE kids HI and hello. From what I have been reading is "OMG This g4m3 1z th3 sh1tz!" "People still play... in fact alot!" Hence i call you NGE children. ANY real SWG player like myself looks at the present and laughs... The population of today is 1/4 of what it was. For ANY elders out there i encourage you to try the emulator swgemu(dot)com. It is still in beta testing but anyone(cept these NGE ppl) are allowed to play. I hope to see you on there fellow elders of bloodfin. -Szell

  • on a given friday night, Bria the most populated server only has like 200 players at most online at any given time, mostly at restuss to.

  • how do you do the beta testing i couldnt find it on there.

  • be thankful swg isnt like what jagex did to runescape, thats how i think of it...

  • what jagex did to runescape isnt 2/4 of what soe did to swg...

  • I know the feeling

  • It's pay to play though isin't it?

  • yes but its worth it im pre nge and cu and stuff and i still like the game!

  • you should definetly stay i play it my character is Toal and he is on the bloodfin server

  • What is star wars galaxies exactly? i cant find out.

  • Is an online action RPG game, kinda like WOW and Everquest 2, this game used to be the best in its class but they messed it up so i recommend you dont play it :)

  • thats just negative im pre nge and i still love it

  • ok no offense but im so fking tired of reading ppl complain about the nge...yah i miss the old days too but get the fuck over it and quit complaining no one wants to hear it just play the game its actually pretty fun now if you play rather than sit around in eisley

  • i hate this game! i wanted it for 2 years(literally) and then i got it and it doesnt work on my computer and a better computer is out of the question.

  • i love this game i still play it XD SWG is fun

  • the game still looks the same now lol

  • "the death star destorys planets but SOE destorys games" lol but true does any1 still play the game

  • ALOT of people play this game

  • *played*

    fixed it for ya

  • no, it's PLAY. people still PLAY this game, because it's still one of a kind.

  • Bofodf my news got around then?

  • just all wait for the KoToR mmorpg it will own SWG and i hope ite become all that SWG shold have been

  • What is CU?

  • CU is Combat Upgrade, it ruined the game for a lot of the veterans, NGE is New Game Enhancement/Experience, that totally ruined the game for most of the rest of the people. If you log on now you'll find hardly anyone playing in the numbers they used to. I remember hanging around Mos Eisley cantina asking for a group to go hunt Squills. A number of people I'd actually meet in real life, was always fun, good friends, now sadly gone their separate ways due to the game being ruined.

  • Pre CU FTW! SWG didn't need levels and at that time Jedi actually meant something.

    I don't think releasing PreCU servers will help but it will defiantely be better.

    CU ruined the game, NGE killed it.

  • i agree i am pre cu and NGE and NGE broke my heart. i was 3 bars from jedi status and then they maded it where anyone can get it

  • this makes me miss the good old days Before THe NGE STORM. i use to sit out at my city that i made in tairse (or however you spell its been so long since i played the game) and watch the sun set and how wounderful of a view it was, going to party at night and weddings in during the day. then a NGE came lost my city, lost 100 firends and finally lost my interest in the game "the death star destorys planets but SOE destorys games"

  • wtf?

  • If you dont play the game dont ask what Pre CU is reply to this if you play on chilastra

  • there is one way it might come back but in a different way. If its true that knights of the old republic 3 is going to be an mmo.

  • My friend is a developer in that company, and it is! I can't wait!

  • meh i don't get what the story line will be...

  • yeah but then we wont get those cool ships we all loved from star wars we wont get astro droids nothing familiar from the classic starwars. im for the Pre cu servers and SWGemu

  • what is pre cu??

  • before the update!!!! that ruined so many alough i remain there and i cant lvl or do quests on my main, so i am stuck lvl 31 alough i have all of my vet rewards in my bunker so anyone on chilastra please add oiliojj to their friends list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i always wanted to have a high lvl but never could because the way sony made it not so good so i didnt play alot so the highest i got to was 20 :(

  • i miss the golden age soooooo much!!!! Sony just admit that ur combat revamp and trying to make your game like WOW failed miserably and just goback to the old way PLEASE!!!

  • y does mine lagg so bad i cant even walk?????

  • damn i miss being a lvl 80 jedi knight on shadowfire!

  • levels should have never been in swg

  • Oh man, your lucky those two sentinles at 9:46 just didn't get you then and there. Usualy when I go near them, they just yell "F@%$ off!"

  • I wonder if there are any pre CU private servers out there...that would kick so much ass

  • My other friends works at LucasArts and he says SOE is creating some PreCu servers so that more people will subscribe again. I like the new setup better though...Other than the Jedi thing.

  • I remember playing star wars galaxies, i was talking about it with my friend. man it was fun. when you could be so many different things like a creature handler and all that jazz. but now theres like 9 professions... :[[[[ oh well

  • myfather recently banned me from swg. lol life is so boring now

  • OMG NIGHT TIME!!! i remember when the game had night time lol

  • It still has nighttime.

  • yeah but nightitme now is like looking through mesh, the lighting in SWG used to be spectacular. but eh i still play lol

  • /hi5

    good clip!

  • Sweet. Thanks for the info. Im trying to find some good places to film my show (uses screenshots from galaxies) so i'll have to check that place out.

  • Where are you at 2:25?

  • Fort Tusken

  • Ah ok. Gotta check that out sometime.

  • Was a very popular place Pre-CU. Good place for loot hunters, grinders and such. Deadly for anyone who wasnt experienced.

    Also a badge location

  • I have a request , On Endor in this game there is a creature called " Boar Wolf " Now I saw a few pics of it and it looks similar to what it looked like in the Ewok adventure movie , But I'm curious as to how they made it sound in this game , Would it be possible to record a video of you fighting one please? If not no worries .

  • noir sucks

  • This really does bring back some old memories of being a TKM and MSM... man those times are long gone.. Is there really a True Galaxies game coming out?

  • If you loved SWG and loved the Pre-CU days... join the swg EMU community. They are bringing back SWG to the Pre-CU days and will allow the future content to be directed by the community. Come check it out, they have a few test servers up and are implementing a new feature toward completion of the emu almost everyday. Please visit (ww) swgemu (com) and join the SWG PRE-CU movement. (ww) swgemu (com)

  • i was a rebel heavy weapons spec pre-CU, i dont remember the exact name of the spec but man taking down at-at's were the funnest shite in any game, /cry the game is still fun and i think they should consolidate some of the servers

  • Wow...how I miss that game. Was going through my old screen shots and I cannot help but to feel sad. I know it is so lame, but SWG's community was unlike any other game. I miss everyone.

  • I think I'll join up again, if they make it like it was before. I don't know what it was like, but I'm willing to join again for the third time. Third time is always the charm... I hope... I just want to keep my Katarn Armor.

  • I was a Pre-pub 9 jeeedi. Hologrinded it and loved being a jedi back when it meant something. When 2-3 jedi hitting the field of battle could turn the tide. Now any 9 year old with m ommies visa card can roll one out of the box, kinda makes all the years I spent on SWG were kinda wasted. But as with any MMORPG that epically fails, another irses to take its place.

  • borrrring

  • ther is a new SWG emu (full version of the game) called true galaxies. it is supposed to be like pre-cu but its not out yet so im not too sure

  • i remember wehn u didnt level in the game ..u just bought armor and u ask trainers what u want to do... it was really fun back then but then u have to level up and its so boring now a days

  • I don't know much about pre-CU.. I joined a couple of weeks after the release of NGE.. What was pre-CU like?

  • heaven. By using skills or specific weaponry etc u gained exp in THAT field. and then u spent those in the spec of that exp. Then the jedi system... i dont have enough space to describe that... but i remember countless times i went to Dantooine Mining Outpost to get groups to kill Bols... :( swg was awesome.

  • This made me cry, rememberin all the good times. It's a shame they made it a WoW clone.

    - Rorian of Naritus

  • This was out before WoW, what they did to this game was simply butcher it.

  • god I want to play this... but the 14-day trial never works... so I'm stuck with incomplete SWGEmu... eh, its good enough to play!

  • SWG had so much potential. Its sad to see such potential wasted. The immersion was not there. The fun wasn't there. The worst part was all the jedi. What era are we again?

  • I totally agree! There are more Jedi that I can count, that was the worst part about the change, adding Jedi to anyone that wants it. But i'm hypocritical, I own a Jedi on Ahazi lol. But seriously.

  • Recruiting for my new youtube group Knights of SWG, any server/prof. reply if interested, help in our cause, and become a hero...

    Iemomee Eidorea (Tarquinas)

  • SWG will never been seen on the live servers. NOTE: NGE AINT SWG its SWNGE. STAR WARS New Game Enchantment can't be compared with Star Wars Galaxies An Empire Divided because its two different games.

  • It is still SWG, all thing must change, nothing can stay the same forever, no matter how much you hate it, it's still Star Wars Galaxies. And it will be to the day it's dead. And even if you people are wright, and I'm fighting for nothing, I'm still proud of it, but I know I'm fighting for SWG, the real SWG

  • This brought back so many good memories. I wish I had taken more screenshots like this. So many things to see in the SWG world. The queue in the starport made me laugh. Good times. Thanks for sharing :]

  • thank you for this video

  • What's this music piece?

    I hope I can start playing tomorrow,I can't wait the momment I get my first Gamecard ^_^

    Thanks for the video,it's very cool,nice music.

    What's the piece/pieces? John Williams rules :D

  • Star Wars Episode IV I think

  • i might play again just cause i miss SWG, even tho pre-nge will never be beat but everyone should look at it this way, at least its not gone forever. im giving it another chance

  • wb :)

  • wb :)

  • play on farstar server, and add Heuto to friends

  • What Guild you m8?

    I am on Farstar
