Hi all im a long long time swg player spent about a year on endor to grind my jedi alone and it pissed me off big time what they did. I have not played swg in about 9 months but have not found i game i like. SWG gave you just so much its tuff to find any other game that comes close.

Ive been trying this free demo it seems to have alot of cool stuff like swg /emotes and in game email all kind of cool stuff. I love the in game mp3 player man i wish i had that when i was grinding my jedi.

I think most if not all old school jedi got pissed big time due to what we had to do for jedi like loss of xp due to death. Bhs if you ever ran around with your saber out .When i made jedi you had to grind alone if you grouped you had 1000 bhs on your butt and just lost more xp for death by a bh i work so hard to make jedi and man i was so proud. What they did made me sick :( it i have not been able to find a game that gave me that same feeling.

The one cool thing is my name in this game is the same as my swg jedi name :) so my jedi lives on whohohohohohoho


here is a photo i look kind of gay but its the only photo i had hehe

Welcome Slyjack!
Yes, you'll find a great number of us SOE haters here and all of us proud of it.
While Rysom is not the StarWars experience is something totally unique and with alot of the features many of us Pre CU players had come to love. Crafting and harvesting here are major factors in the game and once again we can also defend ourselves while doing so. The skill tree is an improvement over the old SWG one since here on Ryzom there are no limits to what you can do. (For those that forgot SWG had a 150SP limit). But, most of all enjoy the fact that HERE bug reports/ tickets etc get answered directly without the ole SOE form letters and lack of reponse.
Enjoy!

Greetings all! Yewil Oolg here, once of the Scylla galaxy of SWG. After SWG's demise, I tried several other MMO's, including WoW and CoV. Nothing really quite recaptured the old magic. From what I hear, SoR has many similar features/feel to it. I'm gonna give the free trial a shot, so wish me luck....

Hey Slyjack and Yewil! I hear ya what SOE did to SWG was a tragety! I think you 2 will find a new home here! I did and I played SWG for 34 months, just quit last month! I agree what they did to Jedi sucked! Ryzom offers a lot of customization! The skill customization here is the best I've seen cause you get to build your skills the way you want!

I see this thread has grown a lot since I last looked....so Let me just say WELCOME TO RYZOM ALL SWG REFUGEES !!!! :) .
You will not find a lot of the unique Galaxy features here, but you will find a complex skill system set in a believable world.



The start island allows you to learn the skills through quests, once you arrive in the mainland you will advance through creating your own content, from group/guild hunting to Outpost participation (PvP). Don't compare Ryzom with SWG (any version) and I am sure you will grow to love the place as much as I do.


edit - My avatar probably gave the clue I was also a SWG vet (from OPEN BETA to NGE ARRIVAL)

Greetings, I too am a new refugee from SWG. I was heavily involved in SWG, a bit to much i would say. At one point I had 5 accounts, and nearly 7 Characters. Yet with the constant changing and such, I grew aggrivated with the game, than when they removed the skills system I pretty much gave up on it. So finding this game has made me quite happy, yet still skeptical, still waiting to see how it goes before I get to involved. Presently I'm looking for ideas to make the grind more automated, yet not a bot. Macro's and such, is what I'm hoping to find, for hunting and for harvesting and such. So if ya got such info I would truly appreciate the help, or if its not available in this game , than finding out its not will be good enough also. Hope to see some of yall in game.

Welcome Vertigo0!
There is a macro command on the menu board to your right. Its under the Systems tab. Not sure how powerful it is (IE PreCU SWG) but, I'm sure you can get lots of advice for making one.
Good luck and welcome again from one more player that broke a very bad habit.

I laughed when I saw this thread, but only becuase I've been to 3 other game forums where I've seen it.

*stands up...ahem*

Hi, my name is Draconin, and I'm a SWG refugee. I've been on the hunt for a game that has the diversity I once experienced. I'm pretty intrigued about the idea of custom made powers. I was a bit turned off about the no skill point cap, but the more I think about it the more it makes me want to give it a shot. I used to be a pikeman/creature handler, which eventualy turned to pikeman/jedi hybrid. I'm stoked that I can be a pikeman again, any chance of getting creature handling into this game? I would be sold on the spot.
