lukeiamyourdad Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Anyone has any idea to revive this forum. It's only starting to relive since a few weeks but I doubt it will last. I think we should find ideas to make the forum(this part) more interesting to everyone who comes. I would also like to ask if we can do any (OFF TOPIC) threads. I don't know if we can do that. I tought we could mark any off topic thread in this part with a big (OFF TOPIC) in the title of the thread. I don't know if we can still do that...

swphreak Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 We could announce: "Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds 2: Galactic Domination," and watch everyone flock over here and increase the current 300% bandwidth use to 500% and the forums can be even slower! Muwahahahahahahahahahahahaha ok, seriously. What could we do? there's like 15 of us total that post HERE.... Maybe we should get together and play games to keep us alive..... I don't want this to turn into another Swmp or aReSeN... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMuffin Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Unfortunately, I think we'll have to wait for SWGB2 to see this forum live again. Lets hope its going to be announced soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another_trooper Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 i agree, why would people come to a forum about a not so amazing game that was released a long time ago? I personnaly come here for the off-topics but i check the intopic from time to time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted April 6, 2003 Author Share Posted April 6, 2003 We are currently discussing SWGB2 but however, when it's gonna be over this place is going to sink(like some other parts). I was just thinking if we could keep the 15 of us(like phreak said) here for a long enough time, we might be ale to keep the forum alive...until some time.

joesdomain Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 I try to post every other day. It is kinda of a downer when DarthMaul posted his that post that said LA had no plans of releasing a sequel to it right now. The project was only Garry Gaber related. Sorta stinks they are releasing Rogue Squadron 2 and Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy but " NO Galactic Battlegrounds sequel within the next 6 months". Oh well! I guess Star Wars strategy games don't sell has good as the other games. Let's hope Garry Gaber comes out with a new strategy genera Star Wars game before this forums dies. I guess I noticed most of the forumers are in JediKnight II, Roguesquadron or Galaxies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 While I enjoy the friendliness of a small group, it is a shame this forum is so unused. This is the only web forum I post on now because of the close-knit group. I fully support the (OFF TOPIC) idea, it keeps the community together without forcing us into another forum (making this forum even more dead).

joesdomain Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 I thought this game was amazing myself. I never played strategies games till this came out. It was the first time you could truely play as a civilization and play out a star wars battle. Especially since all of lucasarts games except for rogue squadron and Jedi knight have been prequel trilogy games. Plus Force Commander did not do well. Rebellion was ok but didn't do that well either. Hopefully, the Garry Gaber project is a Space combat version of Galactic Battlegrounds similar to idea of Rebellion. That would be cool.

lukeiamyourdad Posted April 6, 2003 Author Share Posted April 6, 2003 However noone ever uses the (OFF TOPIC) mark...it's sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithmaster_821 Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 Thats because most of our threads end up off topic, whether they were started on topic or they weren't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 What we really need to revive this forum is official news from Lucasarts.com and/or Garry Gaber saying there is an official Galactic Battlegrounds sequel or a Star Wars RTS game coming out in the future? I don't understand. Full Throttle II and Sam and Max Hit the Road 2 was announced over 1 year before it is being released on Lucasarts.com. I think they did the same for Galaxies: An Empire Divided. Why can't they do that for a Star Wars RTS game or whatever Garry is working on? It is all politics! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted April 6, 2003 Author Share Posted April 6, 2003 I was thinking more of the (OFF TOPIC) to be threads who have nothing to do are little to do with swgb. It would keep the few of us here a while longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 maybe we should get together and ACTULLY play the game we have BIG discussions on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted April 6, 2003 Author Share Posted April 6, 2003 The problem is we don't all live in the same time zone it's gonna pretty hard to get together although it would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 Well, lets get organized. I'm sure we're old enough to know how to get organized.... I live in EST time zone, and on weekdays, I can play anytime between 3 to 5 usually., and on Weekends... anytime in the afternoon and Friday/Sat all night most of the time. I think playing during the weekday will be hard because people get stuff to do. Maybe we should get a "Forum Party" thing going every saturday.

joesdomain Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 What we really needed from Lucasarts last year and maybe this year was official downloads to add to the game? But that will never happen. I gave that idea up a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joesdomain Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 I prefer using single player option and using random maps or death match. Just easier to start off with a premade map by the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 well how you play the game is up to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithmaster_821 Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Luke, are you trying to say you are saving to beat me to making a new stickied question thread? Phreak, I live in EST as well, but usually can't play until like 8 or 9 (3 sports+homework really eat into your free time:(). But I can usually play anytime in the evening on Sat and Fri. Simwiz has no life, so he can usually play whenever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Well being an Aussie I'm 14 hours ahead of you guys. So if you play on a Friday/Saturday Night I suppose I could give up my Saturday/Sunday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted April 9, 2003 Author Share Posted April 9, 2003 Yes sith! and besides I'm 500 points ahead of you. I will beat you.Don't worry the important think is to have a decent strat thread. When I'm gonna have enough, I'll donate my points to you and let you post it if you want.
