The original Emu project intended to recreate the game as it was before the implementation of the Combat Upgrade and well before the New Game Enhancements. As I write this, 858 players are currently online playing the game, though the latest annual report put the record at 1567 players (back in 2017). The server supports about 3,000 concurrent players and has seen as many as 1032 simultaneously since the last server reboot. If you’re doing the math, that means that this server has been around for just as many years or longer than the original game ever was, and it’s still going pretty strong. When this private server for the game was launched, I opposed it because at the time, it was using an IP that was currently in use by Sony Online Entertainment (now Daybreak) as SWG itself was still online.
In fact, until a few years ago, I think it was the only one. This is the original SWG Emu aka Basilisk, and for the longest time, it was the only one that everyone knew about. Let me know which one you believe I should join. (I’m sorry that I couldn’t include them all!) Below I have outlined the choices, then after that, I have placed a poll. Fortunately, I am very familiar with SWG itself and should be able to get going in the game pretty easily (although I’m admittedly rusty).īut first the most important thing: Which server do I choose? I have picked five that look interesting to me, but there are many, many more. And being the alt-o-holic that I am, I will likely make more than one character on a server. Of course, I would like you to choose the server for me first, and then we will talk about the different classes or profession trees that I can travel up. Over the next few weeks, I will be jumping into Star Wars Galaxies again here for Hyperspace Beacon, but I want you to tell how to do it in the vein of our Choose My Adventure column. In fact, there was a brief time where I was looking to set up my own server for the game, but I just don’t have time to do that anymore.īut recently, I was surprised to find out how many SWG emu servers there are – so many different servers that I’m not exactly sure which one to get into. As a longtime Star Wars fan and former Star Wars Galaxies player, I’ve known there were plenty of emulators out there ripe for playing on.
