Raise your hand if you're going to play Star Wars: Galaxies.

Raise your blaster if you want to join my guild. It's role-play biased, by the way. There'll be RP events, and I need an event organiser.. *wink wink nudge nudge*.

I just need a head count for membership and space reasons. I may bump this later when more of the Americans are awake, if I need to.

<Lord Avatar> huh-huh-huh...we're turning to the Dark Thide...

and for the record, I'll be playing SW:G, but to be honest I'm going to stay away from guild-type situations for a while. Not that I don't like you or anything, Mort...just kind of burnt out on the idea of having to rely on uber-guilds or something to get by. Want to go solo for a while. But feel free to give me a yell if you need anything. RP players are always fun to work with.

If I'm having problems finding enough members for guild formation, will you help out?

That goes for any others wanting to play SWG but not wanting to be guilded. Once we find someone to take your "spot", you are free to unguild.

Of course, Mort. I'll help out however I can. My grievance with the guild mentality is that there's always this constant pressure with my EQ guild to be in. To be raiding. To group and constantly pound out stuff. My evenings are my own, and I know eventually I'll probably guild up, but for a while I'd like to fly solo.

If you need help in getting the numbers up to form your guild, I'm there. I can't speak for Lyinar with any certainty, but I assume she'll help you out too.

Something like that, yeah. Way I gather how things work, every basic "class" has skills, and getting the right skills in the right combination at the right levels allows you to access new "trees" of skills. For instance, medic-types will be able to access doctor skills, weapons and engineering types will be able to access higher-complexity designs, etc.

Learning certain skill branches (like the Jedi ones and the Bounty Hunter ones) will require you to build up the prerequisite skills, then apparently "quest" or seek out some source to initiate you into the bounty hunter "class".

The impression I got was that being a Bounty Hunter would be relatively easier than however they're working the Jedi, but they don't want fifty million Boba Fett wannabes wandering around (they already said Mandalorian-style armor would be in the game, but it'll be exceedingly rare...plus the fact is that the Fett armor wasn't really that great; just immensely personalized) so it'll be difficult enough to keep the numbers down.

I mostly wanted to get into the Bounty Hunter biz because I like how they're handling it and faction in the game.

Actually Deth, what it was is that Mandalorian Battle Armor wasnt that great, but Fett customized it and made it the super piece of armor that it became.

You think it comes with all the stuff he stuck in it? 360 degree motion tracks, flamethrowers, dart launchers(poison tipped), predator style vision masks. Some of those are probably standard, but he did make a massive amount of improvements.

Whats the SW:G site again? I need to check up on that again.

Quick question, will it be possible to go through the game without combat, can I be a droid designer and be able to make enouph credit off that to advance my skills without hunting

That's what I meant, ECP. Mandalorian armor is good for a distinctive look, but it was wildly modified. Even from Jango to Boba, the armaments were different. They just had distinctive helmets. Everyone wants to be a badass.

Frankly I think they're interesting, but the Fett bounty hunters are like Drizzt in D&D; overdone to death.

As for the question about tradeskills, I have no idea. There's no "Levels" per se, far as I know. Your ability is entirely pressed by how good you are at skills, access to advanced classes is determined by your skills, etc. So in theory if you have the money, and some way to get your hands on the more advanced design schemas, you should be able to.

I guess I was lucky to have the laygroup I play a drow ranger in didnt read Forgotten REalms books

I'll probably end up making mandalorian battle armor eventualy, and if its not one of the top-of-the-line player made items, then I cant wait to find out all the stuff I could stick in armor. Without the ability to use magic, player made armor with massive amounts of gadgets installed is going to be king

edit: I thought you had to make all the advanced designs yourself. One thing that drew me to this is that if you make a scematic, you can sell it and get recognition for "your" blaster variant or something like that

SWG sounds like a mix of all the good things in the MMORPGs I like.

I will definitely be playing this. Unfortunately, I don't believe in roleplaying when only the minority (<1%) will do so, so I won't be joining the guild :\

Have any info on your guild, Mort? Mayhaps a website or what not? And that event organizer role seems interesting.

No, all my skill points are going into the Politics skill tree, I'm completely non-combat. I'll only go for the Jedi (Dark or otherwise) position if I'm asked to do so by a Master.

Of course I'll help you out if you get into a jam, hon. I feel the same way on the guild issue that Deth does, though, so I wouldn't be able to be an active member in your clan. I already run my EQ guild and that's enough on my plate unfortunately.

But look me up if you need anything, or just need extra manpower or such. I'm going the combat engineer route, with any further areas to be determined once I get into the game and see how things work.
