Because of the 3rd Party program rues, I probably should not tell you this ... but ...


I designed a program that lets me read chat log information and then reply to it using predeisgnated /alias commands which I write out to the file system. I use this with a J2ME interface I designed to enable me to receive and reply to /tell messages (via my mobile phone) from a select few individuals while I am on the road and not able to access my computer.


I have recently started project that parses mail messages from select people and tries to send the to the phone's interface as well. I have a project on my "drawing board" that will parse logon and logoff message from TeamSpeak and (using the same predesignated aliases) send them to a city-wide chat channel.


Sorry ... this interface is not available for download as I believe I am walking a fine line on the 3rd-party tools rule as it is. If SOE would be interested in providing some immutability to these interfaces ... I would be very interested in helping you extend SWG and other games (or aspects of them) out into therest of the computer world.


I realize this is not "playing" the game as you intended ... but I thought you might be interested in the extend people are going to to remain connected to the world of SWG.

(Credit Cap Indicent) .. Close to a billion credits? Be warned .. once you get there, YOUR responsibility to know of the undocumented limit & move money so as to have room for more credits. If not, you will not get paid for the things you sell. Lost almost 30 million credits. One more bug for the road eh?! Kudos to the best CSR ever .. DavidS and a big to the marplot ChrisG whos customer service is a contributing factor to the decline of the game.

I spent 3 months last year logging in via a cell phone connected to my laptop in an undisclosed location thousands of miles from home. That's pretty much all I can say. I've also logged in, the same way, while onboard a C130, a submarine(in port), and at this great sushi bar right outside the base




Would that great sushi bar be nicknamed "THE FISH TANK"?

I went on a vacation to hawaii last summer... a friend of mine was teaching me to surf, and after almost drowning three or four times i sat on the beach and used my cell to login from my laptop. Then at around 9 at night we had aLuau on the beach. I got to listen to some intersting music, watching fine girls SHAKE IT! WOOT! while playing SWG ata campfire and drinking Mai Tai's... best experience of my life. lol i'm a geek

I'd say that I have no "normal" login place anymore. I've been playing since beta, and have always been a heavy business traveller. As such I tend to play alot in airport terminals, hotel rooms, and even played on "Connexxion by Boeing" while 37K feet in the air! I've played over dial-up, WI-FI, CDMA, EVDO, and yes on the LAN.


One of my most memorable times in SWG was during beta one night while I was in a hotel room in Monterey, Mexico, playing with a bunch of Germans. I've played SWG in almost every major airport in the US and have played in the following countries:


Australia


Singapore


Hong Kong


Mexico


England


Germany


France


Canada

I'm stationed at Incirlik AB in Turkey--near the city of Adana. We have no DSL or any form of high speed internet, so I plug along at a whopping average of 44.0 kbps. Supposedly we're going to get DSL, but it keeps getting pushed back due to the unavailability of "Turknology" with the lines I get logged off automatically about every 2 hours or so because we can only have so many people "online" at the same time. For an avid SWG gamer like me, I have to fight for my 'net time!


Other than the lack of broadband, my wife and I love it here. The people are very nice and the food is excellent! Due to the terror threat our base is in a constant state of condition "Charlie", so on days when we are restricted to base I'm always glad I can escape into the realm of SWG.


I've yet to find any Turkish SWG players, but I know as a whole the locals here do like Star Wars.


Now if I could just finally get that DSL so I can download publish 24 I'd be golden...

For about a year after I moved from New Orleans to the New York area I traveled back and forth almost weekly. I flew Jetblue out of JFK and if you don't know they offer free wi-fi. When I first started flying them the flights were not very packed I took the OHMYGODISITREALLYTHISEARLY flight so there wasn't a lot of activity on their network. I would log into the game on monday morning and pass the wait for my flight shopping for CA's or AA's or arranging my house. I am in the kind of job where I wear a tie and sometimes a suit to work. I once had a guy dressed the same ask me "how that business is going", I asked "what business" and he replied gaming. I told him I think it's going great, you guys get my $16 per month and you would never take me for a gamer.
