IF SOE announced a new pre-CU server, what would be the first things you'd do in game...?

What race would you chose?
What would be the first starting profession you'd go for?
Where would you race to to place your new home or city?

I think, this time round, I'd go for human female - tall and thin but with a huge pink Afro.
My first starting profession would be marksman - so I could work myself up to the profession I always wanted, a Master Pistols/Master Fencer/Smuggler, insane Dodge bonus.
I'd immediately try and set up a trader's tent somewhere very close to Bestine - and my main house in the far North of Tattoine, near the Tusken fort. Of course, I'd also have a holiday villa/safe house on Dantooine.
Id reroll both a rifleman/CH and a BE/DOC. Man, I miss those profs.

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Talus so I think I might place my house there. Either that or Dantooine again.
Aaah, Rifleman/CH was a great PVE profession - outside anyway, maybe not indoors. It must have been great in PVP before SOE nerfed CH so horribly that it became one of the weakest professions of all. While nobody actually seems to like WoW, I always thought that the 'animal skills-learning' system of WoW was rather good and maybe should have been implemented in SWG.

Oooh, I had a Wookie swords/doc. I made a lot of money selling buffs in the starports - for me that was one of the mosyt realistic of all aspects of SWG. Competition for prices, people standing in lines, chit-chatting about this and that while the shuttles blew in and blew out. My buffs were never the very best but they were competitive - and cheap. I also enjoyed making contracts with noobie hunters to get new meat that they could drop off on my vendor outside bestine - it gave them something to do and earned them money.
I wouldn't go back even if they rollback a server now.
You never know when they will decide to ruin it again. No point putting any time into a game when anyday your time gets thrown out AGAIN breaking your items and ruining your characters. Don't forget the many lies over the years even pre CU, not to mention certain other games SOE is a part of.
SOE=Bad buisness
I will never touch ANY game SOE has their hands into no matter what it is.
CCP has my trust that EVE is worth putting time into.
SWG is history.
Too bad SOE. You could have made so much more out of that game. I really can't believe a team of 70 devs released something as pathetic as NGE.
It's full of epic amounts of fail.
SHOHADAKU
look at my skill bars again and smile at the old interface.
Agree 100% with everything except the EVE part. I've pretty much given up on MMOs at this point and have started doing more constructive things with my time. At least my golf game has improved a bit lately and I finally got the house painted.
Ah the good old days of swg. I had a Master Ranger/CH, and always took contracts to get the best meat that spawned. Being a master ranger, I could collect tons of meat... and usually helped out the doctors just starting out, that couldn't pay as much. I loved it.
Then I made a swordsman/architect on another server. I loved decorating, and selling heavies nonstop. I usually sold mine at 85k for a BR13 heavy (mineral I think it was), and 75k in bulk. I once had a contract for 35 heavy harvestors. That was nuts!
If a pre-CU server opened, I would probably make a female human again, with pigtails. Never got to try CM, and I always wanted to. So I would probably start as medic, pick up marksman, or vice versa.
House on Naboo ... as close to the waterfall as you could get, I had an excellent business there with a master tailor. Ahh memories.
With respect i wouldn't go back it,s been three years that ship has sailed. I would rather wait another 3 years for a flightless bird at this point.

Open a ticket ingame, writing: Haha, I told you so! Suckahs!
Oh, and the other first thing I'd do is race through the Emperor's Retreat missions so I could kneel before him and say:
'I have returned. What is thy bidding, my master?'
Unless Smed is gone and as many other NGE actors as I feel are necessary (such as Chris Cao), I don't care if they even ask me what PUBLISH I want, I won't play it.
SOE has no credibility as long as those people are still employed there.
I'd roll a Human Artisan and start him in Mos Eisley. I'd survey/sample my ass off and grind until I could make windgens. Then I'd go and "reserve" the lots just east of the Starport, the first ones that you can claim. As soon as someone became a Master Architect, I'd buy a GH and plop it down right there front and center. Then I'd make a mall out of it.
As for a template, I think I'd go with what I last had: TKM / MR / Marksman 4004 / Medic 4430
If there is a next time around, I think I'd have a helluva lot more going in than I did before. Most importantly, the best friggin gaming Guild on the planet.
SWG? Pull the plug already!
Another thing I'd do is start a toon on the path to becoming a TKM immediately - if they ever did reset to classic SWG then I can almost guarantee SOE'd have forgotten to carry over the K/Dizzy fix so, for a few weeks at least, I'd be king of my zoneless zone.
I am weak...I would surrender to the power of the darkside for a pre-CU server. Oh the shame....
Same as last time, I think: human female Scout in Tyrena. I didn't have a clue about stats when I started, I just figured that Scout must fairly balanced, with those even HAM bars. Then add Marksman for combat capability, Entertainer and Medic for early healing self-sufficiency, and Artisan for early buffs and armor.
Bothan.
Scout/Marksman, working my way to master ranger master CH with as much rifle as I can manage.
Oh, heck, screw that. TKM/MCH. Or MRifleman MCH. Or bounce back and forth between them. Bottom line, MCH and something else.
Once I got to MCH, I'd need to spend a lot of time on Corellia, Dathomir, and Dantooine looking for a Great Plains Stalker (baby), a Bull Rancor (baby), and a Frenzied Graul (baby).
Then, off to Endor hunting for the elusive Mantigrue Night Stalker (baby).
I'd probably race to the same spot on Naboo where my housing is now, 1700m east of the Keren starport around a little lake beween two rivers, to the south of the Mauler mansion.
Then again, I've always wanted a house overlooking one of the Tatooine Oasises.
CH, Jedi, Commando, Smuggler, BH, Scout, Doctor, Chef, BE...yeah, lots of SWG time invested.
Once a denizen of Ahazi
id do my kara runs as always..............
a few heroics..............
And wait for the new NGE lol then i post here lol told ya so....................
Human Marksman/brawler/medic on Talus ofcourse.
Best place to start out as a lowly stormtrooper.
I love this question, even though it only makes me miss SWG PreCU even more...
To the question... I would create a nice short and fat wookiee... then I would start getting some scout and medic skills for the bio-engineer proffession... Also I would get some artisan and merchant skills for placing vendors... the last skill points, I would use on marksman and rifleman
... Also I would pray for my old guild to raise, it was great 
... I think the leader was Eofi on the server europe-infinity :P
Only reason i clicked on this thread was because I did not see that "IF"...seriously dont get my hopes up like that
None, I wouldn't resubscribe
I'd probably remake my first character. Zabrak, start on Talus and get right to working on mastering creature handler and rifleman with some ranger mixed in for fun
Either that or my human, bounty hunter/CH.
I would work to get a home up as soon as possible too. It's almost be cool if they just started from the beginning and released the expansions (free to those who have already got them of course) one at a time. But then, they'd still have the starter bugs...and who wants to master Bounty hunter on foot?! Ouch, I humbly bow to those who managed it back before mounts/speeders came out.
Of course, that is if I could bring myself to break my own rules and give $OE money again. Hard to erase the past.
Reopen all three accounts again. One would be entertainer, one would be crafter, and one would be combat. The combat would have to have MCH. Not sure what I would do with the rest of skillpoints. Did BE in CU and that was fun. Always liked the looks of polearm attacks. Maybe I would do different things with combat character in combination with the CH. /shrug
Toons: would need a bothan and a wookiee in the mix (but which to do for what? liked the way wookiees danced but bothan looked better playing instruments; also kind of fun to have a small toon as the combat toon.....hmmmmmmm)
