the April Fool Krayt Dragons that SOE put in various starports. Back in the old days even a company like SOE did things just for a laugh, of course back in those days there were more than two devs.

I don't claim to be right, I'm just posting.

    I remember back in the day, in a split second, our whole squad was laid waste by a single Krayt when he sprayed us with poison. Those days when we took out a Krayt it felt like the greatest achievement in the game, cause those dang things were the hardest creatures to kill.

    Yeah, you needed several masters to actually be effective against them. Fighting one was enough for a week in terms of armor breaking and running out of supplies.

    Does anyone remeber the short lived "zippy movement" patch? It was so despised that it was naturally included with the NGE!

    Also, wasn't there some other stupid patch that did something to crafting? I remember it was so hated that it was ultimately reversed as well.

    I remember some krayts had a force strike that gave you major mind wounds. Of course I doubt these newbies know what wounds was.



    And some kimos had a poison that would give you wounds slowly over time. Of course it was fun back then. And interesting. you felt like you were in the story.



    Now its for morons and ignorant people who want easy mode. They dont want a real challenge. They want shallow not depth.



    I would love to see some of these newbs now trying to play Pre-CU they would whine like mad.

    Yep, along with joining everyone else sitting in the cantina in their underwear to cure BF so they could recover their corpse.  Sadly, in those days there were more people in a single cantina than are currently logged in on any given server.

    I remember on April 1st, Radiant server had Ewoks and Giant Ewoks attack the starports in most of the majorly populated cities. I still have a screenie of that attack that i took. Gah it makes me sad to think that i will never get to play that great, fun game again...

    --When you resubscribe to SWG, an 18 yearold Stripper finds Jesus, gives up stripping, and moves with a rolex reverend to Hawaii.
    --In MMORPG's l007 is the opiate of the masses.
    --The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence!
    --CCP could cut off an Eve player's fun bits, and that player would say that it was good CCP did that.

    Do you remeber ...





    1) when there would be mass dueling contests.. at Starports in the 10 minute wait for the next shuttle to arrive.



    2) When the entire economy was player / crafter controlled and there was huge crafter guilds that set the prices.



    3) When Jedi were only a whispered Myth that you saw only a glimpse of on yavin (you had better chances of a tea party with Bigfoot)



    4) When a Master Rifle man/ Combat medic witha jawa gun could kill you in 3 shot before you could see wheer he was



    5) When the imperials Pet AT-ST was a object of terror but they mostly stayed in cantina's flirting with the Dancers ~.^



    7) When Fort Tusken was one of the hardest area to go and your most prized object was that silly no benifit Tusken raider suit LOL



    8) Raiding Geo caves to try and get ackely parts for your crafters



    9) When ADULTS PLAYED THE GAME... when the game was fun to play... before NGE killed the game



    10) Lastly...  Do you remeber Tiggs !!!!!!!   <3



    I really really miss the first MMORPG I ever fell in love with. a part of me will always hate SOE for killing the best game ever made, cause someone in marketing thought it would be better to cash in on the 10 year old fans from Ep3 movie as opposed to all us fans of the orginal series. Cause we all know 10 years have much more money .... 0.o  I hope that person was fired and now works at Mc Donald's.



    Closed all 4 of my accounts on the second day of NGE going Live........



    LOVE to Europe-Chimaera Rebels!!!!  and Guild <STAR> !!!!!!!!

    LOVE to all you grinders in the tatooine sands of INTREPID!!!!!! REMEBER THE AOE CHANNEL !!!!  lol

    I remember the krayts in the starports...weren't they mini krayts or something like that....but before that I remember like a hundred rebels in AH waiting for the next wave of Imps to make their way here.  I remember saying well....be right back dancers and musicians....got to run off the imps....after either winning or running away from the ATST and hoping not to die....back to the cantina for a night of fun of socializing.  Oh out of money guess I need to run some missions....let me put on my bone armor (one piece of composite on the server....one piece not a suit).



    Or do you mean....30 peeps waiting for someone to show up to where the tuskan king was and they haven't did the mission yet to get him to spawn.



    Or do you mean.....spending one month contacting all guilds rebs and imps to set a date/time for a base takedown.  Seem like 300 peeps would show up for those....just a blast....really wish my system could of handled all of it.  Spend hours trying to take down the base only to find out that someone picked up the terminals so you couldn't take it down.  That sucked so bad.



    Groups of like 20 peeps to take down a Krayt Dragon....Nice being a ranger back in those days......ok got one that way....SE everyone...



    Or the days when you argued with everyone that this is my Krayt to only see that they did more dmg and told you that guess it wasn't yours but ours....



    hitting those tuskans in the walls at the fort.  I remember pratically crapping my pants the first time I went there.....on my look at all the red dots on my map...



    many more.....these are the memories I miss in mmo's these days.....this doesn't really happen anymore imo...

    The thing I miss most of the game was hunting with my fellow rangers.  It was a good life, we had a network of rangers set up that would scout and area to see what meat, hide etc was in season then the hunt was on.  Those were the good ol days back before even the CU.  It was fun we could make millions in a day no problem and be laughing the whole time.



    Best time we had was there was a freak Dewy spawn outside of Eisley.  Dozens of Moutain Dewys were spawing we hunted the area for about 2 hours.  Stuff we got off of them was pretty crappy we just did it for the hell of it becuase IT WAS FUN.  Something that is now lost on SOE.  When they killed Ranger they killed the game forever, for me anyway.  Nothing can bring back the feeling of kinship and brotherhood that went with the game, this is something that will be lost forever.
