Zugifar Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hello. I have been playing mmo's for about a year now mainly wow. (i know but that cant be helped now) I am a massive star wars fan and would love to have a go at galaxies. My main fears would be firstly Do you need a really top spot computer to run the game? My current computer is just a dell bought one with onboard graphics card but it plays wow well, will i have to upgrade? Also ive heard the game is dieing and so on, that wouldnt really bother me as a new gamer the experience should be immense but could a decent realm be recommended where the population is still quite high and theres lots going on? Any info some experienced players could give me would be much appreciated. ohh and im an active roleplayer too. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 go starsider. lots of people playing all the time on it. it's good for roleplaying as well as space. you don't really need that great of a computer to run it. at least 1 gigabyte of ram is recommended. i'm using a 256mb pci video card and it runs pretty good. i'll be back in the game later this month (or week), i play as an Imperial Trandoshan Bounty Hunter. levelling is a bit of a pain, you'll have to go through 'legacy' quest to level up the fastest, followed by meatlump themepark then quests on kashyyyk, then quests on mustafar. there are 4 high level instances, and battle of echo base is being brought in soon. there is a thing in the game called 'storyteller' where you can purchase npc tokens and props to create your own story and invite people to it. there is alot to do in the game.

adamqd Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Agreed on Starsider, I've heard good things. Chilastra is also full of new and returning players, it is also the best PVP server i'm told As for the leveling and quest's see above post ^^ The Game is on the Up again, a lot of the Negative views are from people who; A) Have never played, but just parrot the ever lingering hatred of 2005 B) Havn't played since 2005... lol C) Have had there accounts banned, or been hard done to by devs The best thing to do is try it for your self, the only thing I've noticed lately is more updates, support and new players.

Rogue15 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 yeah and you can change your profession, expertise, etc. when you get 'bored' always new there are always new things to try. me, i had to cancel cause i needed a few weeks away from it (was on like 3-6 hours at a time after work, every day and i really needed the break) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomak Ta-Zak Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hey welcome back dude, I myself am probably coming back to SWG and I was wondering how much it costs to transfer characters to another server. It's been so long I forget what server my character was on. Is there a server list anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue15 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I believe it is $50 to transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caedeus Erkter Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 on SWG realms are called Galaxies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomak Ta-Zak Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Anyone else play on Tarniquas? I can't really tell if it's dead or not since I'm assuming most are 80's in instances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
