  • I didn't get to play this game super extensively. My father got wayyy back, even before the new update. I had played it off and on because it could only be on his account, considering I was younger back then. I think I got in the 20s with my Trandoshan, maybe 30s. Being a bounty hunter was amazing. I really wish I could've played this game way more.

    R.I.P Star Wars Galaxies. You are missed greatly.

  • I really dont know how ppl can use and abuse their cd case like that... I seen my friends cd case and other ppl's cd case and im still like wtf what do u do to it, throw it around the room? I have over 10 year old cd cases that look ALMOST bland new... u know why cuz i dont sleep with my cd case or throw it at ppl or take it to a party and do gods know whatever to it.... Seriously how do u damage the case like that when u dont even need to touch the case after the first installation.

  • OMG! I am glad the wookies are out, I hate wookies...

  • OMG look at his hair!!!

  • @assassinsgreed66 Really cool XD

  • The hair is strong with this one....

  • Does the old republic come with a free 30 day trail?(normal edition)

  • @xTgfTx yes

  • @xTgfTx If you buy the game then you get 30 days playtime, so not technically for free but if we're being positive, then yes :P

  • @xTgfTx Yes the game is coming with the 30 day trial. But like alot other MMO, you still have to set a subscription (Game time card or credit card) in order to get your ''free'' 30 days

  • His hair... can't take my eyes off his hair!!!!!

  • galaxies sucked balls

  • this was a fantastic game, RIP!!!!!

  • I remeber that... I bought this game and i never play it xD lol

  • @enriqemtz92 well, its dead now lol

  • This will happen to WoW one day :(

  • @Sunkratikos i cant wait for that day

  • @BigLeatherJacket Hater be learner, WoW's a great game. Quit hatin'

  • Bought this collector's edition when I was 11. Wish I still had it.

  • this is no tribute, I only played the trial of the new/bad version and I still know it deserved much more respect than this

  • i feel like they just make games simply because they know that it will sell decent. i want a star wars game that feels like a modern fps game only on a larger scale. something like killzone 3 only on the same scale as MAG. i feel like that would be an accurate representation of what a star wars game should be. or maybe something like a revamped version on battlefront 2? idk its just that it really does need improvement imo

  • @stbays The game is free but the servers still cost so if people stop playing it will probably be shut down. I honestly wouldn't mind it too much. The game just isn't the same imo since it went f2p. Though in that case I'd like to see them have Mordor and Gondor and all in the next expansion. They have to at least finish the story of the books.

  • @Rosvolainen

    I appreciate that servers cost money to run, I've often wondered how much is it really? There are so many games these days that are free to play (a lot of them Korean) that it makes me wonder if the servers really cost much at all.

    I can't say much on Lord of the Rings Online as I bought the collectors edition (and I still wear that ring), however I really didn't play it much.

  • @stbays The patches are a big part of it too, for me at least. It was nice when they fixed something that you had been annoyed of for a long time and you could look back at the game when you started and see improvements in all areas. But I think that there's been a degradation since f2p. It's not really free since you can buy stat tomes that will give you permanent stats (you can grind for them but it'll take a long long time) and faster mounts. If you raid you'll need to spend rl money.

  • @stbays I guess my problem with it is simply that it doesn't feel like they are giving us the best game possible anymore, not unless we're willing to spend some rl money which will ultimately make players who do spend an edge. Grinding feels quite pointless when others just buy the virtues etc.

  • Awesome game and a great game to include to the Star Wars saga

  • Yeah 2003 was a great year...was the year when I got deployed to Iraq.

  • The shadow his nose was casting made him look like hitler with a fro...

  • fuk must every video have a commercial

  • Nerds with hair like that needs to be shotz.....if it suxed back then it still does today....get with the time ur making us look bad

  • SWG I think has much more depth than ToR.

  • @jackpipsam The only depth ToR lacks is being 6 feet under.

  • i used to like star wars like you but then i took a George Lucas to the knee

  • Gabe Kaplan, Star Wars freak? Who'da known?

  • Will old republic be on Xbox?

  • @caljam98 nope

  • @caljam98 xbox fucking sucks, there hardware is falling behind

  • @IngloriousBastard911 such nice words

  • @caljam98 Lawl, No way in hell will that ever happen.

  • nice hair

  • Did anyone see the MW3 vs BF 3 ad? like WTF?

  • @lill97an What's so weird about that? Star Wars Galaxies is a game this video is about it. BF3 and MW3 are games. You should expect ads for other them or other games to show.

    -_-

  • @Bobaloobi I meen the commercial was about mw3 first but then they started ripping on it and saying that BF3 was so mouch better.

    i'm not against any of the games i just wonderd if anyone saw it.

  • why the hell can't u b a wookie in SWTOR?

  • @ScienceofWinning because they arent part of the republic or the empire

  • wat texture is this.... HAHahahahahah

  • I am sick of that BF3 commercial -.-

    I cant even manage a squad on my PS3, voice chat sucks on BF3. Stupid community on BF3....

  • uuuuuu what texture is that :))))))))

  • I never got a chance to try the game :(

  • All I saw in this video was that guys sexy ass hair. Damn that's sweet

  • i never played this, only had a passing knowledge of it but didn't this game, as i can recall, suck horribly?

  • @xxbrkdwnxx Star Wars Galaxies Pre-Combat Upgrade was one of the best MMO of that time and all time. It started to degrade when Sony applied the Combat Upgrade which turns SWG into a WoW clone.

    For people who miss the game, head to swgemu, they are still up and running.

  • I still have everything in that box, even the Closed Beta Discs they sent out, heh, good game when it first came out.... for the first few months, then when the Jump to Lightspeed came out it really was even better,,,, then NGE.... yeh.... thank-god for SWTOR ;)

  • This is awsome!

  • Star Wars: Galaxies used to be online, then it took an arrow...u know what, nevermind

  • @PunisherPayne They probably wouldn't release it as Free to Play, because they would have to pay for the servers, and they wouldn't be making anything from it. The reason they shut down, was they were making less money off of the players, then was needed to pay for servers. And they knew, the player count would go to like 0 after SW:TOR comes out since it's just around the corner.

  • "and we have the unopened star wars pin"

    oh thats kool...

    "made in china"

    fuck that....

  • The virginity is strong in this one.

  • @stud6007 fag thats such an overused joke

  • @stud6007 Which one?

  • @stud6007 then i guess you are one 2 ;P

  • @blaa653 I was just about to say that lol

  • I mean was there nobody left actually playing this game or what?

  • @PunisherPayne They shut down the servers.

  • I think it's kind of lame that the game can just shut down like this, especially after having to "pay to play" you kind of want the service to keep on going and after putting 80 bucks into that limited edition, the shut down of the servers is kind of insulting. Obviously the game is dated graphically, and sure the players will dwindle in number (I'm not sure what the player count would have been like in the past few years) but come on...maybe release it as a free to play game?

  • Why do I always want to play games that are shut down or rare as hell? Fuck you, curiosity!

  • The dude on the left looks like Albert Einstein!

  • please!!! pleasee i have one space in my room for that treasure!

  • everytime this guy uses the S sound my ears bleed

  • BF3 can go to hell with call of duty.Fuck you ads.

  • Fantastic!

  • IM SO HYPNOTIZED BY HIS FRO I CANT FOCUS ON THE VIDEO

  • .....napoleon dynamite :O

  • Holy Jewfro batman.

  • I NEED that mass effect wallpaper!

  • Star wars galaxies was a good one. You'll be missed.

  • @dwarf08 Aye... it was a good game. I will miss the fun times i had, the days that i would stay stuck in the PC just to explore more my favorite fantasy universe.Hell i lived my dreamed, i join the EMPIRE and kill REBELS for fun and to please VADER. I fought in HOTH and took on rancors, i saw OBIWAN and his own home. I spoke to JABBA and BOBA, i took battles to space and pratol the tatooine desert with my fellow storm troopers wearing StormTrooper armour. =_{ i wish they would bring to xbox 360.

  • I wish all MMOs would just fail already so people would stop wasting their lives

  • Comment removed

  • Its a ME! Afro Mario!

  • R.I.H. (Rest in Hell) Star Wars: Galaxies.

  • @ShadowMonkey97 Maybe you didnt like the game, but million others including me played hell out of it. Now i feel odd with OLD REPUBLIC, i never had a interest in those times, and i hate that i cant be a SITH TROOPER.

  • dude this game was so tight no MMO will ever touch it

  • I feel sorry for the people who bought this game last week.

  • @kiwi242000 They took them out of stores months before.

  • U would think after 8 years he would get a hair cut

  • I never played SWG but my only question is how did they stop the game? Was there some awesome event at the end or did the servers just go down? I play (or have played) Lord of the Rings Online and hope that when they shut that down the ring will be destroyed and you'll be able to fight at the gates of Mordor, see Sauron fall etc.

  • @Rosvolainen

    That game went free to play, so in all likelihood, it'll never be shut down.

  • @stbays well the main servers where shut down dude.....way to be wrong

  • @Xxken101xX

    I have no idea if you're right or wrong about the main servers, but my comment wasn't about them, but the game as a whole, which is still running and will continue to run for the foreseeable future.

  • @stbays ok well then yes...the main servers for swg went down for good...there license ran out so they shut the servers down for good or something like that...there is alot of videos about it...its true

  • @Xxken101xX

    I see the problem. You thought I meant SWG. I was referring to LotRO. I'm fully aware of SWG being shut down and knew it was coming for a long time now.

  • @stbays oh woops my bad then lol xD

  • Guys, that @Lorfmor guy is just a troll. He scoured YouTube to post THE EXACT SAME messages on Zelda skyward sword videos...I've seen him before

  • SHITY GRAPHICS=SHITTY GAME!!!! FUCK THIS GAME!

  • @Lorfmor This game was released in 2003. You're retarded for expecting better graphics from an old game.

  • omg its gene shallot

    

  • SHITY GRAPHICS=SHITTY GAME!!!! FUCK THIS GAME!

  • @Lorfmor GRAPHICS WHORE!!

  • @Lorfmor you base a game on graphics? well you must also think super mario bros 3 sucks huh why dont you go read a book cuz you obviously know nothing about games

  • I honestly thought at first this was made in 2003 when I saw that fro.

  • As Much as I love Battlefield and HATE CoD.. Battlefield's Ad Campaign is Dirty.. And I don't like it...

  • @LiamTuber WTF does battlefield have to do with Star wars. GTFO

  • @TheMartialartsJedi Lol yes I know, I meant like the OT came out before the PT.

  • losers

  • Star Wars Galaxies - The Old Republic

    Star Wars the Old Republic - The New Republic

    Ironic isn't it?

  • RIP Star Wars Galaxies you were one of the best games I ever played. Hopefully the new Star Wars game does not rape your memory.

  • swtor is gonna suck dick. the characters look like they are off that cartoon network show so now starwars looks like a bunch of kids toys, the space combat is really boring. the flight is on a set path, no cockpit view, and boring gameplay. ugh starwars is broken!!!!

  • @KillYouds stop your bitchin

  • @KillYouds Don't rate the space combat yet, they're gonna expand in a similar fashion to Galaxies (which is kinda stupid in my opinion).

  • anyone notice they said gamespy.com?

  • @Lorfmor a game isnt just about graphics idiot

  • same amount races!!!! the old republic has 8 races and so does stg!

  • I'm glad this game is still available in Pre-NGE form on SWGEmu :)

  • Comment removed

  • R.I.P this game was great PRE-NGE then wow came out and sony tried to change it to match up with wow's leveling system and it killed it. nyone remember the good old days waiting for a doctor to buff you so you could go kill nightsisters elders on dathmir goodtimes.

  • The focus makes my eyeballs hurt

  • 2003?

  • Some sucker will buy this on ebay pretty soon.

  • lol my mate got divorced because of this game, and i remember someone selling a full tricked out avatar on ebay for thousands of dollars

  • there is always SWGEmu

  • Galaxies was more thought out than The Old Republic. The Old Republic may have an infinite cash source from EA, but Galaxies will always be better.

  • I never heard of Star Wars Galaxy until now

  • I hope you didn't go buy this copy off of ebay within the last month. We are in a recession, after all.

  • Disco stew?
