The Final Sunset of SWG

"Here at last, on the shores of the sea... comes the end of our Fellowship. I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil." - Gandalf, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

Greetings all! For those who have not yet heard, that great and wonderous experiment that was Star Wars Galaxies is now drawing to its final close.

Though I think many of us would agree that our SWG passed on a long time ago, there's still a bit of nostalgic regret in this final shutting down. A bit like driving through your childhood neighborhood and finding that one of your favorite places to explore and play has been turned into a parking lot in your absence.

I hope all of you are doing well! I still single player game a bit (currently working my way very slowly through Dragon Age 2), but try to steer clear of MMOs these days (due to the massive time commitment).

Be good and stay law-abiding! Remember, CorSec is watching!

I'll be sad to see it go even though I don't play it and haven't played it in years. I'll miss it still, none the less.

Good to see your name again Vert! So glad you found this corner of the internet and the FX board. It's about darn time you posted here after all these years! lol

Whether or not you can sink any time or make commitments to another MMO, are you even considering SWTOR? It would be nice to see you among those that make the leap into that new frontier. Hope all is well on your end!

Vert, you're damn right.

I'm glad to hear you're doing well. Look me up on Steam at Elbasunu (or Obos).

SWG was a huge factor in how I handle the social online world, as well as how I look at other games in general. It's also afforded me some astoundingly long term friendships. I'll pour one out to that.

Also, shameless plug, my sci-fi gag webcomic is up over at manifestdestinycomic.com/

Hey, Vert. Long time no tailor.

SWG and I had some problems with one another, 'tis true, and I don't always look back on the game fondly.

But the reason I decided to make the jump from beta to retail (and, subsequently, to Lightspeed) was you folks. It was an experience that was more than the sum of its parts. Even if I can't be nostalgic for the engine or the design, we did have some good times. So here's to that.

And I swear, I got all this fiberplast through totally legit means. Totally.



Also, don't read Obos' webcomic. Read mine instead at sketched-comedy.com . It's way better.*

Rah!!! I miss you guys!

Feel free to add me on Steam too as Anjubee.
