message: does anyone actually have this game or are you just telling what you know about it?
*is this a serious question? yes I have this game and play it currently. --Syrthiss 21:06, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
Yes, I too have the game, but sometimes the oppinions of those who play the game interfere with the facts, but then again, how can you talk about Star Wars Galaxies without ever playing it...--Bob Wier 20:25, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I have the game as well - and am relegating most of my contribution to the discussion rather than jumping into the main page in order to maintain a seriously neutral standpoint.  I don't think that should preclude one from saying things like "SWG had a bug that made characters taller than buildings." so long as you don't add "SOE sucks." to the end of it.--Dc2005silk 16:44, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  does anyone have the game?? 

message: the bounty hunter profession is based on hunting and killing npcs and/or jedi players. the developers seem to have recently made this profession revole around mainly hunting the jedi PLAYERS instead of npcs. the jedi that were aparently seen by any npc or player will be shown on the bh terminals and hunted with a significantly larger bounty than the npcs. though the npcs do drop money and items, killing jedi increase pvp ratings and about 20k (or 20,000) more reward money. the jedi players were also significantly weakened because of the combat upgrade or CU. the only good part about the new system is that it marked the end of perma-death where jedi players would be permanently killed as the name suggests. Bounty hunter is a great Professsion to make money.
:I don't understand your reasoning.  Yes, BH are focused around hunting and PvP, but they have certainly not made it "revolve" around killing Jedi.  Their last few patches, for that matter, were meant to increase NON-jedi hunting measures, such as offering 'elite' or 'boss' marks that were worth up to twice as much and dropped very rare loot.  20K isn't even a drop in the bucket compared to some of the items that can drop off these special marks (upwards of 1 mil for rare items).  Jedi are currently, without a doubt, the top end damage class, hands down.
:I also cannot, for the life of me, see how making Jedi as common as potato chips and unable to permanently kill them, a good thing.  I could care less about the storyline and how Jedi are supposed to be "rare", I'm just worried about the sudden overflow of "l33t" jedi I've seen, where they think they're better than everyone else and deserve preferential treatment over all others.  A decent amount of research will show that the general population thinks otherwise of the above remarks. - Moocats 09:38, August 22, 2005 (GMT-6)
Does anyone else think that certain sections of the article are totally biased in favour of Jedi instead of BH? It's completely ridiculous.
No mention of +Cloak+, Force Run, the /Duel Bug or Armour Break. I think I'm going to be heavily editing this article when I get time. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tommo565 (talk • contribs) .
: Frankly, I'd rather see most of the Jedi/BH crap get removed.  It's mostly moot now, given the NGE; at best, a brief mention of the controversy (which, I believe, only got rolling after the CU) may be in order.  Powers 18:55, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bounty Hunter proffession 

message: Wanted to take a second and explain why I removed some of the criticisms.  At the moment, I feel the article has an ok level of NPOV.  There is negative stuff, and positive stuff, and a lot of plain info.  When you start adding items like caused many players to quit the game re the aug 16 patch, you need to have something to back it up IMO.  Anecdotally, I know a lot of players who didn't quit the game because of yesterday's patch. --Syrthiss 02:00, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
:I didn't quit just because my XP was nerfed and made invisible.  I'm still having fun playing on Bloodfin as a Novice Creature Handler / Growing Bio-Engineer.  I imagine 90% of the people who say they'll quit are exaggerating and will get used to the new patch.  - Moocats 09:11, August 18, 2005 (GMT-6)
:NPOV seems to be completely shot with recent changes regarding the NGE.  There are a couple of paragraphs in particular that don't even try.  Unfortunately, I don't trust myself to be able to maintain NPOV, either, so I'm not going to make any changes.  69.204.116.80 13:08, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV 

message: I have a feeling that SWG is about to change again, just like it did after CU. But this time I have heard that perhaps there will be a version of SWG coming out on the console. If someone could confirm this than maybe we could get some more info on it. I know there is a small section on NGE, but if any of you look at the NGE forums, the NGE FAQ, or even get a chance to play it (though the servers are always full on TC) I think we should expand. Any feedback?--Bob Wier 20:30, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: According to SOE the plan for consoles was scrapped.  There are websites linking to old announcements for X Box, X Box 360, PS3, PS2.  These are all old pages for the most part, although I'd keep an eye on the PS3 one.  It is completely unconfirmed - and according to SOE (like that matters) it isn't happening for the forseeable future.--Dc2005silk 15:21, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Change, NGE, Console 

message: I will be getting this game soon, and I am wondering, can the player, if he/she wishes, go on a killing spree of all of the other players? Not that I would be doing that, just wondering. The Wookieepedian 08:20, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd suggest waiting until February.  There are rumors that it may shut down, and even if it doesn't there is a distinct possibility the game may change again.
There is no content past level 30 and according to SOE it will not be 'finished' until June.--Dc2005silk 15:34, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  So, what if? 

message: In the part that mentions the subscribers hoping to get past the 1 million mark, not only has lineage but also games like final fantasy 11 and World of Warcraft (last i heard it was 4 million). I thinkthis should be updated to reflect this. 68.153.29.23 19:21, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  subscribers 

message: Dear guys writing this article:
Great article on SWG.  I played from launch til NGE, over two years.  I was Namav Forsirn on Chilastra, the renowed weaponsmith.
Here is my unabashedly POV take on SWG.  SOE has turned it into a 9-profession FPS-style game solely for the kiddies, and removed mouse-only capability so you can only play with keyboard, so no disabled people can play now. Those gamers got the only life where they can walk, ripped away, not just horribly altered.  I'm mourning.  Does anyone care how incredibly HENIOUS and CALLOUS that is?  Doubt it, as usual we're a tiny slice of the gamer demographic that is never even on the radar, but the demographic most reliant on games to communicate.  Please put us on the radar.
Imagine logging on one day and you can't move at all. That's exactly what happened to me due to the NGE.   :(
Am I bitter? Hell yes.  I'm perma-boycotting SOE.  
Please cover disabled gamers.  There was a big thread about this on the SWG forums.  No one listens or cares.
Please care and add this to the article, if only in one sentence.
Thank you.
Nick
:I refuse to play SWG any longer, but if you're still interested SOE has announced a 'mouse-only' control in the next publish for the disabled who only have the use of one hand.  It remains to be seen if it works as intended (according to SOE everything does) - but even if it does the game is just not fun at the moment.  --Dc2005silk 15:24, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disabled Gamers Cut Off By SWG's NGE 

message: Today I've added two extra things to the trivia section and created branches to mention the expansions of Star Wars Galaxies in the trivia area.  I've mentioned both expansions as well as Expanded Universe characters encountered in SWG.--Dc2005silk 15:49, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  CHANGES 

message: I added a cleanup notice to the "Wars of SWG" section.  Never having played the game myself I found it extremely confusing and full of POV language and I don't know enough about the game to clean it up myself.  --TheKoG 07:50, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  The whole article is in need of serious revision.  I've been working up the courage to give it a go, but haven't yet.  The "Wars of SWG" section is indeed one of the areas most in need of work, though.  Powers 16:12, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
