SWGEmu half-year financial report (second half of 2013)

[Slade 217]

Let's just hope that ****** will just be concerned with the movie and merchandising rights. I read on Steam recently that when ****** shut down LucasArts that some one who was part of the Jedi Knight series released the source code for two of those games, apparently without repercussions. Let's hope they dismiss this as something that is irrelevant, and let us continue to play.

I played SWG back in beta, then US release, then onto EU when that got released 6 month later - I loved the game and even though I've played mmo's for 15years+ I've never had that same feeling that I had with SWG. Then SOE did what they did best, screw it all up and destroy what was, in my opinion the best game ever made! But no their only aim was money, which meant they had to try and make it more and more like a WoW clone which eventually had the exact opposite outcome and the true "SWG community" as I like to call it, left the game, myself included and all my friends etc.

Long story short, I'm 28 now and I just recently found out about this beauty that SWGemu is! I can't say enough what a great job you guys have done and I hope it will continue for a long long time, cause I've been missing that feeling for many years, and finally it's back! Thanks a lot guys, I'm still very new around here but I will without a doubt from now on do a monthly donation to help the project. Which I think everyone should do.

My feelings exactly and I too will donate monthly because no other MMO I've played ever came close. The work you people are doing with this EMU is astounding and I hope ****** doesn't cause any future trouble. The people playing SWGEMU aren't exactly your standard MMO players and would mostly likely NOT play SWTOR or any other lame..dumbed down future Star Wars MMO that ******/EA would produce.

Keep up the great work and thank you!

Sorry if this question has been asked before, but am I getting this right?
You guys have to PAY to be a NON PROFIT organisation?

LOL. Yes, non-profit does not mean no cost. We got lots of those.

Here's my know little about the situation tid bit even if you hate those. ******'s two primary concerns would be is someone making profits off of something they own and is this emu/admins hurting the ****** image in anyway? I'm sure they have been watching. At least a little bit. Maybe sent basement corner cubicle to check it out. Sounds/looks to me like y'all are doing a great job with everything. I as everybody else hopes ****** keeps their power at bay. I have never seen such a complicated emu run so well.

No. But our lawyers have it.

Sounds like you guys are on top of this...glad to see because I quit WOW to come back and play this game again and loving it!! Keep up the great work guys!

Is it ****** or Sony kicking up a stink about this emulator? Cant see why as the game is offically dead and theres no money being made to run this emulation just server expenses right? Or is it just corporate greed on there part I wonder?

[Lolindir]

Non of them have done some thing against the Emu yet as far as i know. If some one would do some thing, I think it would be ****** to protect the Star Wars IP

In November we got from donations: $2,997.81.
November had the following expenses:

PayPal fees = $175.12
K&H Bank = $2,293.00
Hosting Services, Inc = $226.15
FDC Servers.net, LLC = $199.00
Assembla, Inc = $60.00
Softlayer = $1638.20
TOTAL EXPENSES = $3,457.21


November had a total shortfall of $479.66 with a final PayPal account balance of $6,121.68

Actually that equals $4591.47 can you explain the $1100 difference?

Saw that too. Wondering if it's just a mistake in calculations.
