Cheers for that. I think I'll leave it until I run out of steam with
SWG, which doesn't look like happening any time soon. Then again,
there's that 3 mth attention span thingy with me & mmos ;).

Which server are you on Nostro? See many players? I gave in and
resubbed to SWG for a month. But don't want to play my old chars on
Shadowfire and Naritus. Both servers look empty. Instead, I'm
thinking of a new char on a one of the more populated servers.
Probably trader with specialization into shipwright (although I hear
after phase 1 it is a tough grind). Tried smuggler on the test
center - so far so good.

Cool! I'm on Chimaera (EU) so as to avoid the 9-11pm DT 3 times a week
I
cop on US servers, bletch. Dabbled with a BH on Valcyn initially
until
the DT peeved me off pretty quickly. Same reason I left EQ2 a couple
years back, as it had no EU servers. Great Aussie guild I was a part
of too - SOE are lucky to be getting a 2nd chance from me! >8^D

Anyway - char is a hawt Twi'lek Jedi chick called "Leeloo-Multi Pass".
WWasn't going to play one on principal, but after I rolled this one up
for shits & giggles I realised just how survivable & powerful they are
compared to my BH with her pea-shooter lol! Anyway, still going
through Legacy, almost 18th & finishing Tatooine soon (onto Naboo I
think?). So what's your main dude? I'll add you to my flist & if we
cross paths we cross paths (if you don't mind the extra lag across the
Atlantic heh ;).

I just absolutely love how this game hands you a starship & a
landspeeder at the start (albeit base models) so you can fast-travel
around the place in almost no time. Then the game even throws a
slightly faster swoop bike as part of a fairly easy pod race mission
in your mid-teens. Great design decision imo. It's a sci-fi game, not
a silly fantasy mmo where you have to be 2/3 of the way to max level &
jump through hoops or shell out big bucks just to get a nag that let's
you run 50% faster lol! These land vehicles in SWG really *move* &
chew up terrain in no time, giving the game the epic feel of speed
from the movies. I also love the fact that you can run/landspeed up
any mountains & inclines over almost any terrain. May not be
realistic, but who gives a flying once u get past the slight
unrealistic element? ;)

Mind you, I've just started to read about/poke into crafting &
realised I have to make a trader char to experience it properly. I
also put a point into Beast Mastery (Incubation) & realised what a
can-o-worms I opened up when I read this FAQ/How to:

Yowsa! But, I am a bit of a maso with stuff like this, so will
persevere for a bit longer. Already got some bantha DNA & Lyases -
just need Isos & Hydros to get to step 2 out of about 12 lol! :)


It's mining, mining, mining, mining for materials in crazy amounts (could
be profitable as well if you sell good mats and use low quality mats for
profession grind).

Vehicles are good but wait till you get warping problem (you move forward
and it warps you back), especially while you are trying to run away from
high-level mob :) My trader already managed to lose some energy resources
on bugs with harvesters. So, game has many issues still. Space part is
probably the most interesting and rewarding now. Good money maker just
flying duty missions.

My main (from 5 years or so ago) is Daitan Touhi on Shadowfire - lizard and
rebel lizard at that. He's level 77 spy after conversion (mastered Ranger
and Teras Kasi originally). We had a cool ranger guild and I still keep
unique original items from that time although guild is no more.

I made a furry dog (Bothan) smuggler char on Chimaera (EU) for kicks. Can
already see many people on the space station. Ping time is good too.

Diablo III is coming out? Goodbye friends, goodbye family!
I'll see you in a few years...
Ditto!!! :)))

Never played Diablo, but played and really liked Dungeon Siege (all
expansions and version II). I hear GPG (Gas Powered Games) makes
another hack'n'slash with Sci-Fi theme (on a huge spaceship).

Ooooh - like the sounds of that. <Googles site to check out preview>

Hmmm...nothing obvious - which game is it? DS2: Broken World? Same
engine as DS2 I take it with a sci-fi overlay?
