Re: any SWG refugees?

It'd be illegal for them to charge anything without an agreement with Lucas Arts since then they'd be profitting off of copyrighted characters or trademarked or something along those lines without Lucas Arts' consent, so it's safe to assume, unless they're looking for a lawsuit, that it'll be free.

I appreciate the response, but I mean would I still need to pay a monthly subscription to Sony?

No. Sony doesn't run the SWGEmu. Sony only runs their live servers. This is someone's private server.

When I read that, I thought the third sentence said "Sony only ruins their lives."

Which is only partially true.

Mmm.  I spent two turbulent years as a tiny Trandoshan running about Kettemoor hoping SOE would right their wrongs.  Glad to hear it's still got nothin' over watching grass grow.  Not so glad to hear it still has a pulse.

Re: any SWG refugees?

I still play personally...over two years now for my account..longer since I quit for a few months after both of the 'upgrades' But back on the Emu topic, no you dont have to pay sony...you need the basic star wars galaxies installation, but what you really pay sony for is the ability to use their servers, so since you wont be using a SOE server, theres no monthly fee....unless someone tries to break the law by charging and gives SOE the chance to slap a lawsuit on them.

Re: any SWG refugees?

I used to play SWG and quit before it went CU. I played some of emu a long time ago when they really didn't have much made for it. Is it even playable yet? I stoped looking when most would be servers wont bother fixing the major balance issues and mostly ran by kids that want to be "l33t" and all that lame crap. I only played WoW on private servers (yeah I'm cheap) it does get boring after awhile. I do miss some stuff in SWG like surveying and crafting stuff and crawling under land speeders and pretend to hide from people.
