I cant even calculate how much more money ive spent (relatively) since SWG shut down. Between going out to clubs more, buying more games constantly looking for a replacement, drinking more (seriously), etc....
SWG was a great bargain for me. For $30 / month i got nearly endless entertainment, there wasnt a better deal around....

Well, what I would have been doing? Well, it would have as usual been a long weekend only interrupted by breakfast, lunch, dinner and the occational beer run or a timeout on the pub..
But here goes:
Friday Evening: Log in(and from there on full throttle) and get my arse over to boot camp, or where we ( <ST>) did our recruiting. Alt-Tab to see who was eligible to be recruited, who to check up on and who toallow entry. Back into the game, send 2-20 mails
(we had over 200 recruits in a period of 2 months back when we were on Bria, but the harsh nature of Bria vs RP'ers scared most of them away..according to the recruits anyway. They didn't sign up to be TEF hunted by fully developed characters...Our recruits sarted out as brand new characters always, and had 2 weeks in getting their armor)
While waiting for new recruits to arrive, check out the bunkhouses to see if any of the current recruits had made a mess. When the fresh recruits arrived, spend 30 minuts to 2 hours interviewing them and briefing them about <ST>. then an hour to get them dressed, equipped, bunked and ready to be a recruit.
Once done with that, I usually had 2-10 choices.
1: Take the fresh recruits and any other recruits out training and hunting.
2: Take the fresh recruits and older recruits on a patrol to a city to show them the ropes of people skills.
3: Take the fresh recruits and older recruits with me to one of our weekly fridays events(every sarge had to hold 1 event a week, friday, saturday, sunday were the top chosen days to hold those)
4: Hurry out of my office leaving the recruits with a note about check communications. Then proceed to the area where I had my friday event arranged. And then spend maybe an hour making the final preparations for the event before officers, sarges, troopers and recruits came to join the event.
5: Hurry out of my office, excusing myself to the recruits, and arranging that another sarge or trooper takes em out on a patrol/hunt/training. Placing my arse inside a cantina to enjoy one of the many(used to be) cantina performances by some of the most dedicated entertainers on Bria. (Don't ask, I lost count of how many hours I spent in cantinas just enjoying being there. Some say(entertainers) I spent more time there than chasing rebels)
6: Hurry out of my office, as on the comm link(guild channel) a defense order has just been issued. A squad of recruits training and working for their armor has been found by fully built templated rebel TEF hunters. Spend the next 2-3 hours guarding the recruits(if they didnt log out after being verbally abused and harrassed, while their novice marksman butt was being camped by the above rebels), making sure that they did get some training and did get some points to their armor and did not log off the game with a bad feeling of being every griefers favorite meal.
7: Hurry out of the office, totally forgetting the recruits, as my ingame wife just gave me some strange message on the secure comms (PM). Ending up shopping clothes and armor and whatever she was looking for the next 2-5 hours. And make no mistake, that kinda shopping is just as lethal in the game as in RL...My character and me was close to poking our eyes out many a time, just to..have an excuse to go elsewhere.
8: Say bye to the recruits, hurry up to a scout trainer while forgetting all my medical skills, so I could get more hides or meat with scout skills. Why? In my inbox was 15 mails from different doctors and crafters, all saying that they were now buing XXX hide/meat for XXX credits per hide/meat, and needed XXXXX amount minimum. Needless to say, I usually ended up selling tons of meat and hides to those 15 doctors and crafters that had me in their "hunting" mailing list. (interdependency FTW! they got rich on selling their products, I got rich on providing them with what they needed.)
9: Spend some time with the recruits, telling them horrorstories from my time as a recruit and a trooper. Making sure to warn them about how hard Bria could be on their arses because we usually were TEF'ed or Overt most of our time, while in only 30%/vulnerable armor and only using weapons that Stormtroopers used. Also made sure that the recruits knew they could contact me ingame or on the forums at any time, if they had a hard time with the PVP "elite" rebel and Imperial players of Bria.
(Yes, none of the PvP'ing sides had much respect or "fondness" for <ST> as not only did we not kill those weaker than us, we also made sure that those we fought had a good time about it. Ofcourse, that we only used sub par equipment, refusing to drop the image of being stormtroopers in favor of pink(whatever) composite, unstormtroopery weapons and "red's dead" tactics...Did not help with anything)
10: leaving the office and just wander down to the illegal cantina(we had a illegal cantina in outr city(fort)..as in not aproved by the fort administration), and spend the evening there chatting with the civilians of the fort, and some of the veteran troopers.
Shall I continue? This was only a few hours into the friday evening. Then came Friday night, saturday morning, saturday, saturday evening(wich always was contested by the saturday pub/bar/get drunk hours )
But all I can say, unless you want the full story of how my weekends with <ST> was, is that in my 20 years as a gamer, I've never had a better, more complete experience as those days as a 100% RP trooper of Stormtrooper Detachment Epsilon.
I got everything I craved from a game. From PvP to PvE, from chasing riches to giving riches, from being a mentor to being trained, from being a grunt to being a leader, from being a hunter to being hunted, from being respected to being...hated.

Wow, I cant even begin to explain how much more organized you were. But thats great, just not my nature. The important thing, is that you got in to the game and made the most of it to fit your personality, and the game allowed for all the different playstyles back then.....
And it was good....
Cool video too.....

I would have been using my crafter, Wyeth, to check my harvesters for power and credits, empty them if necessary and then would be surveying resources and making changes to SWGCraft.com.
Then I would check the boards to see what bone/hide Armorsmiths are looking and take my Ranger into the wilds to get it for them.
Wyeth, your name sounds familiar. Did you just play on Chilastra? It may be from the forums, or i may just be delusional. Anyway, just rambling....
I only had characters on Chilastra. Playing just 2 characters took all of my free time.

I wouldnt say organised. I was frigin shanghaied into becomming a sarge in <ST> and as such, I ended up being the main recruiter. And that was also only the Bria fridays
I had plenty time to do whatever I felt like(except those 2 months where 8 of 10 sarges burned out because of 200 players wanting to experience being a stormtrooper and RP as such instead of being a powergamer/crafter/loothunter/solo player..etc.)
But I have to admit, that the way I described that friday, is the way I loved it. I also had days and nights where all I did was patrolling the streets of various towns, 100% into the role as a stormtrooper, giving people tickets for inapropriate clothing, drunk in public...And ofcourse..thats how I meet my ingame wife...I arrested her for supporting the rebellion...I even shot her....
I do miss SWG, and the 3-10 weekly events we had. (there were a time when we didn't have any events tho. Bria L33t Rebels seemed to have made a new sport: "Disrupt any <ST>event in any way possible, even if it means sending spies as recruits to sniff out where the events are. Best score was 1 rebel who admitted having been part of disrupting and destroying 9 of our events)
Trying my hardest to cause serious damage to the biodiversity of Dathomir. I swear I don't know how those rancors ever survived my wanton weekend killing-spree benders.

Most likely prepearing the guild event for saturday. Shopping for buffs, foods, crafting stims, getting a new armour and weapons, getiing the armour and weapon sliced. Scouting out enemy bases and players. And finally planning the attacks with fellow guild officers.
Hauken Stormchaser I want pre-CU back Station.com : We got your game Yeah?, Well i want it back!!!
Anything from dancing in a cantina on Ashe, making costumes for my entertainers with Reiyna to going out with Ariel and her powerhammer ... damn I miss my hammer.
- Spent 2 or more hours running through all the HK instances on Mustafar with my guild - Patrolled through Restuss and wiped out the Rebel population trying to get in - Protected the Corellian GCW base to keep it under Imperial control as to prevent the Rebels from sabotaging our stim upgrades - Destroyed a number of Rebel bases on Corellia and Lok. Met some resistance on Lok but by the time they got there the base was on it's final minutes to doomsday - Protected a bunch of bases at an Imperial guilds city on Tatooine during it's vulnerability time. The Rebels made a good effort trying to defeat us, but lacked some organization and weren't able to clear us out so they could start the countdown on the bases before their vulnerability clock ran out.

Just depends on who was online. If most of the guild was online, we'd end up congregating in theed, id'ing ourselves to look like giant carrots or mexican cowboys, or trying to match bodysuits to our skin colors to make us appear naked so we could auction ourselves off to the highest bidder, or stack up vehicles and mounts outside the theed cantina to rp a 20 speeder pile up, all the while starting a gigantic flamewar on the galaxy boards, just for our amusement. That was my ideal swg night lol, just random silliness, no actual grinding or effort involved.

On a typical Fri/Sat evening , i would start off by signing into TS . Spend a few minutes chatting ,hearing about what was going on guild wise .Usually around this time SLim would be acting out his true love for all of us , While Vira (our drunken Sweed ) Would be professing his love for curse words . Delz would be trying to organize a raid of some kind . While Guru/Raiyden would be planning a base take down . On a normal night Vira and I would go around looking for a few early warm up brawls , While the rest did some looting or other PVE/Guild activities .
Eventually guild plans would be finalized , While one group would act on base take downs , The rest would take part in a city raid of some sort . The rest of the night usually would consist of PVP fun . It wasn't really the pvp that made it great to me , It was always those people I was along side . Long story short , There was never a dull night .

Just depends on who was online. If most of the guild was online, we'd end up congregating in theed, id'ing ourselves to look like giant carrots or mexican cowboys, or trying to match bodysuits to our skin colors to make us appear naked so we could auction ourselves off to the highest bidder, or stack up vehicles and mounts outside the theed cantina to rp a 20 speeder pile up, all the while starting a gigantic flamewar on the galaxy boards, just for our amusement.
For the Horde!

Eventually guild plans would be finalized , While one group would act on base take downs , The rest would take part in a city raid of some sort . The rest of the night usually would consist of PVP fun . It wasn't really the pvp that made it great to me , It was always those people I was along side . Long story short , There was never a dull night .
