I miss offline mining in original SWG :( /moved

Anyone know of a game that has an economy and resource gathering model like the original SWG? I loved being able to find a good resource area, set up all my mining rigs and log off till next day or go adventuring while my mining rigs did all the work. Thanks

Yes that game is the current SWG.

EVE online has that.... sorta.  Corps can mine moons, which is done 23/7 by equipment, not players.  sadly you still have to do the normal mining for yourself.

Resource extraction (except for creature organics) works the same way it always did in SWG.

Of course now the amount you can mine is restricted by your number of lots available.  No more cross-server harvester farms, because only the owner of the harvester has admin rights to the harvester, it cannot be shared with other player characters, not even alts on the same account.

Otherwise the mechanisms are the same as they have always been.

Resource harvesting remains the same as always. In fact, harvesters have had thier BER rate increased over the last 5 years, and an elite line of harvesters have  been introduced, Sadly, many of the crafted items that used mined resources have been nerfed or removed in favor of loot and magical abilities. $OE, in its infinite wisdom, marginalized one of the best aspects of SWH that truly set it apart from the other cookie cutter games...the player economy.

Yes.

It's called current Star Wars Galaxies.

Crafting and resource gathering is mostly what I do when I play SWG now and then. It's still very fun (and viable).
