  • Loved CU

  • fuck yeah, spin groups on picket missions...i lived for those :)

  • from now i just kill rancors on clone wars adventures ahh finally combat

  • I loved this game when it first came out, but unfortunately the Combat Upgrade totally screwed it up and I quit.

    my name was Smeghead and I was a Master Doc on the Farstar server. This was the best mmo ever! I do play WoW these days, but it just doesnt compare. SWG FTW!

    I might give the Old Republic a go, but then again, I might just give this SWGemu a go too :)

    anyone from the Farstar server who remember me? hah.

  • Man I remember I used to grind rontos on Tat as a novice pistoleer. I would feign death if it ever got too much to handle. lol I used to love hunting them.

  • This is cool but you are spaming with that light like idiot xD

  • WoW is boring as shit, i was going to pick this game up, but they have a new star wars MMO coming out -.- hope that ones good too

  • @wakim123 2001 technetcly but it wasnt open for the pulbpic till 2004

  • Comment removed

  • @clonetrooper661 Lol you're really going to argue that beta counts as when the game was released? Next are we going to start arguing which one started production first? Or how about when it was first licensed? Or maybe when the idea was first pitched?

    It came out before WoW, accept it.

  • @Colest503 hehe im gladim a bigger starwars fan than WoW i use to lvoe wow now its a piece of shit thanks to blizzard

  • Amazing how a game can look better before than what it looks like now.

  • @KenNorth212 with alot better game play a story line behind it and alot better pve gameplay/content idk what the instances are gonna be like but there solo/team other than straight team.. swtor is gonna be 10x better than yay i got all the gear oops aww now to get another 5 or 10 lvls w/e xpac and outgear myself in greens... waste of time to play wow peroid... u gear urself and next thing u know another 10 lvl cap is up lol that game is garbage for sure

    /waypoint Corellia 6300 6687 Green Force Shrine (Corellia);

    cool place

  • did graphics and overall polish in general degrade w/ this game? i just got the trial and everything is so glitchy and laggy.. it takes a while for loot to open, spells to cast, etc... =/

  • @myth1c this is from ur computer. its old

  • CU times were so cool.. they could do a rollback.

  • man i miss pre cu

  • god i miss old school swg, before jedi was discoverd....

  • Oh, did I saw wow in space? I meant to say FFXII in space. SWTOR will be so dumbed down that it will appeal to people like you. Good for you and good luck with that neckbeard.

  • i love this game

  • SWTOR isn't going to be wow in space - there's no space in swtor.  It's going to be 'final fantasy in star wars'. Mage, Priest, Fighter and Rogue. The 'mage' even has mage robes that look like wow costumes. It's godawful.

  • @sgallaty I am willing to bet you don't know jack shit about the game or anything else for that matter. The fact you think it will be WoW in space shows a dumb fuck you are. Any MMO that doesn't draw inspiration from WoW is fucking retarded. The WoW formula works so obviously developers will and should use it. WoW was an amazing revolutionary game, and I hope the developers build upon what it accomplished. Millions of people loved the look of WoW and you want them not to use it? Retard.

  • @NorthHitman622 let's not forget WoW borrowed heavily from Everquest with the group formula, ie. Tank, dps, healer etc. It used to not be that way, Ultima Online had full mages soloing just about anything and dominating any melee class, much the way Jedis were in SWG. If you look back at the damage/resistance SWG had, it's very similair to what Uo had added to their game back then. I don't think it's a coincidence some of those folks at SWG came from OSI :D . SWG was fun in it's time.

  • @sgallaty wow you never played an mmo have you?? its ok everyone gotta pop there cherry sometime.... lol

  • this is pre sony.???...beucase the game looks like shit now compared to this

  • Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) were involved from the outset but this is from a time when they didn't care so much about trying to compete with WoW (and failing miserably).

  • spring 2011 guys

  • is this an empire divided?

  • october of 2010 is around when it comes out

  • actually E3 announced it its coming out Spring 2011

  • Did it come out yet ?

  • Nuff reminiscing about the good ol days. move on to swtor like the rest of us lol

  • @TheFitz02 lol cant wait its gonna be the best mmo i think it will beat the dragon age origins

  • cu = crap upgrade.

  • @DuraheLL no NGE = crap upgrade (crap just aint a strong enough word).

    i hink the CU made it alittle more fluid

  • @Dacijo But it was fine before both of those there is no reason a creature handler needed to have a grind longer than a jedi.... NO REASON! learning tames skills was hell too 2 weeks for a level 3 dot that was nerfed. I mean Creature handler was a recreation spec anyway it wasn't really doing much that warranted that! killed the game but CU was better than NGE I'll agree, if I must.

  • this was the best game ever :) great memories. Thank you.

  • what force powers using?

  • Do you guys remember the WP to that place? I do know you guys are on Dantooine though.

  • okay thanks :)

  • No, it was 2003, they recently celebrated 6 years online...for some reason...don't know what they could be celebrating. The game is nothing compared to what it was in 2003.

  • I supppose they're celebrating they still have 10 or 20 subscribers....

  • @GenralO more like 10k or 20k.

  • @entrailsgalore:I don't believe that.I'd say max maybe 8k.more realistic seems 5-6 k though

  • @GenralO That is still more than 10-20.

  • yes i know it is. but what year ? 2004-2005..

  • 2003

  • when is this game realesed ? =D

  • The game's been out for years... lol.

  • yea i know that but.. idk what tear.. 2003-2004 .. =D

  • pikets and bols were the way forward.. awesome days...

  • so whats the difference between cu and nge??

  • Everything. You wont really understand if you started playing in the NGE. Just do a search in google SWG and you will find all the details of what the game was like up until the NGE

  • never played the game but i do know that CU=combat upgrade and NGE=new game experience and both are widely regarded as worse than aids.

  • I hate pikets! There are way too many of them!

  • I think watching CU videos is the saddest. Because the game was still fun then, and that state of the game is never going to come back.

  • peace is a lie there is only passion

    through passion i gain strength

    through strength i gain power

    through power i gain victory

    through victory my chains are broken

    the force shall free me

  • wow thats lame.

    considering jedi were all but extinct at the time of episode V, when 5 ppl slash those big thing creatures with lightsabers its really sad.

    its also really sad that lucasarts made the most idiotic mistake in world history when they made jedi base characters. fucking retards. i would have sued them

  • who the hell got pickets!!?!?!!?!? haha i remember when the CU came everyone went to MO (mining outpost), grouped up, and did missions...preferably bols haha. I loved it whenever someone would accidentaly get a picket mission and they wouldget cussed out then kicked from the group haha... the good ol' days

  • ugh. how can people like pre-cu. this is exponentially better. and forget nge. wtf were they thinking?

  • How could you NOT like preCU?

  • is it hard to lvl in this

  • swgemu everyone

  • Wheres the 2nd part ? :/

  • May I ask wich screen resolution this is was on? 1920x1200?

  • Yeah 1920x1200 I think, if memory serves (was a long time ago).

  • I miss these days. *tear*

  • I miss the old Jedi Spin grps. I was the only MBH allowed to grind with Jedi, since i was becoming 1 of them in the process.

    Oh how i miss being a Jedi back in cu:(

  • Here's to hoping SWTOR can even scratch the surface of what SWG did

  • i sincerely hope bounty hunter is just as fun in this new game.

  • @iamLieutenant Oh trust me it will.

  • @TheRevan1337 No it won't it's gona be another wow clone with instances and battlegrounds.

  • @aranax69 You deluded fool,No thumbs up for you! >:D Bioware make perfection reality,that is the truth and you cant argue with their nearly flawless record of best sellers

  • @TheRevan1337 I can honestly say tho they dropped the ball with Dragon Age 2, that game was complete shit compared to there other games

  • @LegendAmongRebels Dropped the ball? then your in the minority,most people like it alot OR like it MORE than Origins

  • @LegendAmongRebels And you do realise that EA forced BioWare to rush DA2, causing them to release it much earlier than planned ?

    It's basically like the Knights Of The Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords (with Lucasarts and Obsidian) all over again, except with a different franchise and marketing company.

  • @LegendAmongRebels I totaly agree with you. The whole feeling is gone :(

  • fucking idiot, lol.

  • looks pretty good for such an old game

  • wOOt, Spin group grinding FTW! Good times Pre-Nge!

  • Wow. looks like you had a pretty good machine for back then (during the CU) ;D

  • If i want to play this must i pay or i can play it free???? pls answer

  • exactly my situation, man it was so badass...i want to play it again ):

  • NICE GRAPHICS...

  • i remeber joining a full group and going out all night killing lvl 70-80 stuff. i got from lvl 20-45 in like a couple days. but these are just memories cause nobody wants to do this kinda stuff anymore.

    TRY THE TRUE GALAXIES EMULATOR!!!

  • ur a sad little wiennie u know that?

  • Kid.

  • It's not even in beta, and it's doing amazing. Over 1,000 players on every day. Plus, it's not even in beta yet! Looks like you failed there, much like you probably have many other times in life.

  • is this game worth playing cause i've always been a star wars fan and i was wondering if its as good as it looks, im half tampted to play it

  • Can you get a double-bladed lightsaber?

  • yup

  • is that online and is thta out on market

  • How is that not online? and that's been on the market for years ...

  • clearly what he was inquiring about douche bag

  • lol

  • I came back... I made a toon on bria.. only stayed for about 2 weeks tho, I play age of conan now, its good :D

  • what kind of graphics card do you have?

  • is this game still fun?

  • man i want to play this game so much how much it cost?

  • the game isnt like this anymore.... damn this game used to be the best MMORPG ever. now its a whole different game..:((

  • OMG i remember this game, was that before they nerfed force run you looked like you were going pretty fast.

    sigh sony are useless

  • i was reading about this SWG emulatr but having a issue understanding it, are pc pros working on this or a game company? and i saw something about servers? interesting :3

  • Star Wars Galaxies is terrible, Jedi or Force User's run around like roachs man. Go to SWGEmudotcom, that's oldschool SWG that everyone loved. (Note it's still a work in progress)

  • This looks awful, what in heavens name did they do to this game. I remember this game being a glorious game with loads to do.

  • You should see it now, it sucks even more

  • I"M THE NGE KING N I LOVE THE NGE

  • omg. seriously, are there really that many people who are force users?

    Ugh...mabye i dont want to buy this game. Someone tell me it really isnt that bad.

  • If you mean are there loads of Jedi then yeah - there's loads now that you can choose it as a starting profession.

  • Yeah, it is no longer a hard to reach job that you have to spent months grinding and questing towards. You can choose from the start to be a jedi or even a bounty hunter...

    Also, they completely removed the fist fighting class...

    I miss Pre-CU XD

  • IMO the best game ever made pre CU just gone back to it for the 2 week free trial (just go to the website everyone gets 2 free weeks) and to be honest now all te bugs are ironed out its not to bad but still NO whaere near as good. It took me a year to grind Jedi, after the CU he went to E-bay mwhaha

  • Wtf is CU?

  • wot game is this? is it for a consle

  • its Star Wars Galaxies and for PC you dummy.

  • do u download it

  • You must buy it and pay every month. Like WoW

  • yes people play it still i still play it its still fun back in the day jedi was sooooo hard to get i unlocked it 2 times and then they made jedi a choosable class thats what screwed it up along with a bunch of other classes getting deleted its pretty noob friendly i recommend bria tho they have the most populated server

  • Do a lot of people still play this? Is it noob-friendly? And how did it apparently get ruined?

  • whoa how you set up ur interface like that

  • Awe the infamous Jedi grind. When you see a bounty hunter, you do what all Jedi Apprentice do. You Run! Or lucky for you, Cloak. Thanks for the video. It keeps old memories alive.

  • HELLYEAH!! 

    Until you become like me.. and kick there ass.

    /jump jedi

    /jedi knocks your ass out

  • If anyone is interested I've uploaded the original source video that this was created from, so you can see the game in all its glory before SOE killed it :(

  • Forgot to say - the link to the full video is in the video info on the right hand side.

  • do have any more videos if i would like to see them. thks for not adding any music just game footage

  • Afraid not, I only managed to hang onto this one by chance. Never expected the game to change overnight :(

  • ok dude what are you running in your pc

    this looks amazing

  • btw any1 out there make it to 4444 guardian?

    i wasnt around that early but ive heard that

    if you where 4444 guardian you could take out like 20 people and still come out alive :)

  • No, but i did see a 4/3/3/3 Jedi and he could kill an entire base alone....

  • i became a jedi pre cu , and being able to

    deflect 80 % of all ranged attacks kicked ass :) the jedi was a tough grind, and i remember being hunted a few times by bh and losing allot of xp, but that was ok since i knew once i started my knight trials id be on my way to becoming truly imba

    me and a friend we played 24/7 it was mad.. no life whatsoever but work then ggot homew and played but i loved it......

  • yeah i agree that the old swg is better and now to pvp you have to of been an old account for elder jedi and shit its awful

  • dude the graphics are amazing that was very smart of you to make that video now i know why soe did that i love this vid 5 stars good job!

  • CU was a lot better than the NGE. NGE is aweful.

  • play on my server bloodfin my name is soo cool renven niiice

  • CU was prolly the worst thing ever. I had swg for a couple months before it happened but i never played much, i only got to level 33 when it came. it went from 34 professions to 9 'iconic' professions, which completely ruined it, along with the combat and xp gain. I got to level 80 now and it took me 2 years when pre-cu it could've taken me 1 week. :p

    Just to let you know, it definetly sucks. but im on starsider, my names sosre orfa. i'll help you out with w/e

  • your mistaken, cu didnt make 34 professions into 9.... nge did.... and i think it was 36 professions but its been awhile so i forget

  • CU is the acronym for Combat upgrade, a major patch (around 2004-2005,) which killed the game. The whole community was turned-off, leaving the game entirely. It was a legendary MMO on an epic scale. I have to admit I've never looked at MMO's the same ever since. Fuck you SOE. RIP SWG pre-CU

  • I admit I hated CU cuz mostly of the levels on mobs and yourself but it was still playable and sort of fun, pre-cu was best but ok we are stuck cu was OK.. not great not good but ok but then less then a year later without even telling ppl btw and WITHOUT testing it fully (why the hell wouldnt you test a FULLY new and completely changing game system??) but whatever stupid ass CEO decided to do that, released nge untested and very buggy and glitched which really did kill the game.

  • can someone tell me please what is CU?....i will start playing SWG in a couple of days

  • CU & pre-CU are the old versions of SWG it was a totally different game back then and was much better... i'm not saying the new version is bad but this was better. i love the new version but it gets annoying at some parts and CU was'nt like that... oh well.

  • If you do play Starwars galaxies, Make a toon on the galaxy "Starsider" And look for a guy Named "Arkais Neekto" I'll help you out

  • wow your not lagging

  • how do i make a sith?? some1 please tell me and what screwed it up whats wrong with it now cuz im thinking of getting it i just wanna know if they made somehting wrong with it

  • Why does everyone wants to play a Sith or Jedi. Eish. a good explosive still takes one out.

  • yeh but do u know how to :|?

  • People talk about not having many subscribers... And SOE knows it, So really, Truly, Why doesnt SOE just change it back? I mean I am truly not a technical person when it comes to computers, but it doesnt seem that hard. Or were they dumb and deleted/erased all the odd models etc.

  • The reason they wont change it back is probably the same reason for why they put it that way in the first place.

  • okay, they put it in to IMPROVE the game, hence the NEW GAME ENHANCEMENTS, but IMO, losing over a million subscribers is a red flag that you just did a NGCF, New game cluster fuck!

  • There are a few things that SOE did do right with the NGE: 1) The combat system once you get used to it, Isnt half bad, I mean half the time, from experience, You could cue up a few moves and WALK AWAY, Now you actually have to be ATK, To fight.

    The prof removal, Was dumb as hell, 32 to 9, Red flag, Stop stop stop. Animations, God, That was dumb too, Poke stab, Poke stab. In the end, Its a loss on their part, but the NGE, With mods, Is not THAT bad. Its playable, and kinda fun.

  • Man, I'm so lucky I left RIGHT before they put in CU.  I would have been pissed if I stayed.

  • Why do people hate CU so much anyway? you have 5 thumbs down for saying that!

  • they are drooping star wars soon. less than 20,000 subscribers

  • theyre just tryin to keep people pacified as much as possible till they drop the game. I wish I could meet the people makin these decisions but are too much of COWARDS to come right out and say/debate the issue. It'd be some pain I'll tell ya that shit right now. I love cowards! *evilgrin

  • no comeback. everything the devs do to SWG is a CashGrab. Sad to say but it is. I hate it so much. SWG is the only mmo I've ever played and ever WANNA play. I dont play games but Ive been payin for 4 accounts on this shit since 03. They have no right to project other games as "better than this one" This and always WILL be the only one like it. ITS STAR WARS FUCKERS!!!! WAKE UP!!!! EVERY damn other game is Wizards and Orcs and warriors and Mages and elves and magic. give it a break.

  • the chapter 7 version is a noob buff to make ya feel special back then it Regained Force and such also the graphics are a little of the game and the pc

  • Hey I have 2 questions, I play the NGE and never got to play the Pre-CU, so anyways my questions are, At the beginning of the video,

    i saw the jedi meditating, and getting a buff, but isnt that thing from CH 7 in NGE??? Im confuse

    my other question is, Why are the graphics there look badass, is it the computer??? or the game thing?, cause in my computer it looks good, but in this video it look very badass, like the shadows, and everything.

  • 1) Force Meditate was originally in the game Pre-CU but was removed from the game when the NGE hit(along with other things that shouldnt of been removed)

    2) If my graphics you mean the animations? Then the answer is that most, if not all combat animations were also removed with the NGE due to the change in combat speed, now they refuse to lower the combat speed because theyre too lazy to change all the damage values.

  • so is it possible to get the ability to meditate in the nge?

  • Bring back the real SWG! I miss it so much..Id even pay more per month just for a pre-NGE server!

  • whats a CU?

  • The games gone through 3 stages in it's lifetime.

    1. Originality (The best IMO)

    2. CU (They gave the game a total combat revamp, standing for Combat Upgrade.

    3. NGE, New Game Enhancements. The stage that caused more than half of their subscribers to quit. It took all fun out of the game.

  • S.W.G was good before the new chapters but it is still my favorite MMORPG.

  • SICK i love it... i played the game ever since it came out... i miss those days, i played the "new game" it was pretty fun but got addicted to EQ2, but i heard they are bringing some cool features back to the game so im downloading it now!!

  • Kind of strikes you as funny that the game went from great to shitty, not the other way around like some of the pro-NGE'ers claim.

    I was a master healer before the CU, converted to master powers and ground with a group similar to this guy's, then I picked up 4400 defender and it was SICK while I was able to tank and do AOE intim/lightning.

  • awesome

  • i loved old SWG teras kasi was just so awesome swg used to pwn now it sucks even worse then runescape

  • I've been off swg for years now... quit cause of the CU.. before that I was kettemoor's best BH.. I really miss watching jedi run lol... it honestly is one of the best feelings in the world... when they run and just do their very best... but you kill them.. without a buff or armour... thats how us roadian BH's do it...

  • damn i miss pre cu :( use to rape jedis with fencing/ch, sigh hopefully it will come back...atleast i got wow :/
