For years now the developers have given the cryptic answer �To Live in the Star Wars Universe�. Many people get this and have wanted to do just that for well over 20 years. However �Living� in the universe is too vague for some gamers (heck, most people don�t quite understand what the �point� of living in the real world is � I�ll give you a hint �to be good to one another�).
So for the goal minded folks out there, here is the �Point� of playing SWG:

U R TEH WINNAR!/11one Posted @ Tue, Jun 29th 2:31 PM 2004 By: Eddo 2 posts Score: Default [1.66] Sorry for the obvious sarcasm, but that honestly sounds fun like running in a hamster wheel, only with scenery. Rather than something that'll leave me feeling humped and used after I'm done playing with it, why can't they instead make it dynamically interesting? ... Or even, dare I say, Bug free? Collecting badges is like a fanboy scavenger hunt, and mastering professions so it gets displayed in my profile is ridiculously stupid. I truly, sincerely hope that the game is not actually revolving around the principles described in this article. That will be lame beyond comparison.   1 Reply

That being said, I think this article is being sarcastic.  It's saying what to do to "win" the game. Anyone who has ever played a role-playing game knows the idea isnt to "win" anything. Otherwise, when the game ends (and it will) you're faced with a character you put yourself into and now the character rides off into the sunset, so to speak. No, the idea of a RPG is to put yourself into a character you've created to interact with a fictional world. To live in the Star Wars universe. If you look for a point beyond that, you're a fool. And your story will one day end. Probably something like this: "Karlacca the Wookie Jedi roved far and wide and did great deeds. Then he just...dissappeared..." and Jack Smith logged off and realized he was bored. he had one and the game was now pointless. So Karlacca was no more... bye bye.   ---------------------------- Why do we fear death? It is the one common thread that binds all living things. We should emrace it with the love of life and desire for harmony. Or should we instead cling to life and diversity, at the cost of peace? 1 Reply  RE: U R TEH WINNAR!/11one Posted @ Thu, Jul 1st 2:46 PM 2004 By: Eddo 2 posts Score: Decent [3.00] Your mother is boring.                                                                                0 Replies

31 october Posted @ Wed, Oct 15th 7:56 PM 2003 By: Anonymous Score: Default [2.00] My god, I NEEEEEEEED to play this game... Wish i could sleep for 15 days so i could wake up and start playing on a European Server. This game will rule all MMORPG's and the best part is because of the long waiting time for European players to be able to play on this side of the big puddle, loads of bugs will already be patched by the time we can start playing... 31st october, a day to look out for!   Quote: [/quote]let my cries chill the living!!![quote]   0 Replies

RE: 100 Badges!??! Posted @ Thu, Nov 27th 7:05 AM 2003 By: Davynelord Scholar 36 posts Score: Excellent [4.55] yeah you must be.   There are the 2 badges for the monthly acts as of right now. (which are actually bi-monthly). There are the badges for the honor, altruism, intellect, Heroism, hermit, courage quests. (that's 6) There are badges for themeparks, for which we have no idea how many of these will be in the game. I personally know of at least 3 right now. Then theres badges that the devs personally hand out to specific people and you don't get these from doing quest or missions. The fascinating background is one that I know of. theres a new quest that just went to test center and will probably be in the patch with the vehicles in december. There will always be new badges added over time also. Add'em all up and you will have well over 100 badges to achieve.   ---------------------------- Retired Master CH Retired Master Fencer Retired Master TKM Retired Master Artisan Retired Master Scout Retired Master Smuggler Retired Master Brawler Retired Novice Swordsman Retired Master Pikeman Retired Master Marksman Retired Master Pistoleer Currently: Master Brawler Master Swordsman Pistoleer 0-3-4-4 Medic 2-0-0-0 Novice TKA Home Server - Ahazi Home City   - Panthagon <MCT>, Talus Guild - Mctrog 0 Replies

Jhu'n Khaat'greev Posted @ Sat, Aug 2nd 9:34 AM 2003 By: Anonymous Score: Default [1.50] excellent outline for game goals! i played EQ for several years and had a 60 Cleric.  i tend to become attached to my characters and i hated having to create a new name for myself every time i wanted to play a different type of class. one thing that isn't mentioned by Q-3PO is that if you go as far as you can in one skill tree and then decide on a change in the way you want to play, you can just surrender the ability points and head off in a new direction. this eliminates the need to create a whole new character. your friends list is still intact and any reputation your character has made is still valid. the replay value that ability points creates is huge. and that's without any additional content or expansions!

But It seems like a decent game and so far I like it... Jedi I will search after and if I do or not I will play as myself and be in the community as Kaillion on Bria as what I want to be to keep my intrest going ... So above all else this is a game to where you are living a Star Wars life and Be in your own movie So if you knocking it don't do it if you are actually making some wierd sort of guide Kudos to you be save and adventure Well   ---------------------------- The Magi Kill'emallus   0 Replies

RE: ... Posted @ Wed, May 26th 2:20 PM 2004 By: Tomshirk 181 posts Score: Decent [3.00] I thought so too... I had only played in the Betas and for the longest time I felt "this is EQ with a SW skin... I'm not wasting my money on tis!" Then, two days ago, the price dropped to $29 a box.  I said "what the hey... that's only a little more'n a tank o' gas"... The game had improved dramatically since I was on the Beta. SWG has gained coolness! :o) It far surpasses EQ... but then again, EQ II will kick its a$$ if it does half of what they're advertisin'!   ---------------------------- Why do we fear death?
