Another of those late night (well..almost!) whacky threads...
A story of a commando...and his FS.
It all began yesterday at 4:37 pm eastern, I log into SWG. In the emails, I notice that a member (who was fishy) left my guild, and he was 50 meters in front of where I came into the game world deeding up his small house. Thankfully he didnt try to grief us, as I know he left due to the result of a recent kick of some crazy person thats been harrassing my guild and some specific guildmates in paticular. Anyways, not wanting to be seen...I duck into the closest house, my guild's Hunt Coordinator's home.
Of all the times I *don't* want to be known that I'm there (after all we went through with the crazy ex-guildie...I had enough), who happens to have appeared RIGHT as I walk in? The old man (geezer). He yells my name out like no tomarrow, shouts it in fact as well as barges into the privacy of the home. He gives me a crystal, and trips out the door yelling my name still. By this time, the ex-guildie left and I was hyper-ventilating.
A day passes....
Today, again at 4:37 pm eastern (starting to see a pattern?) I'm Mokk hunting, waiting for some sith clogs to come and try to clobber me over the head. To no avail do they spawn, so I decide to go to dathomir and wander about making myself vulnerable to their evil Sithy ways. For some reason, in the player town (on Dantooine) I was taking missions out of, I just walked into a house. In fact, I don't even remember why or what was in it, but the moment I stepped out into the glaring dantooine sun...I was under attack. (Also see another pattern?...In I go for Old man, out I go for sith!)
They spawned, those not so hardy, nasty Sith. In 2 shots, down they went, up came the disk, and out went their camp 1,500 meters away. So began my journey...
On dathomir, as I pass through the fogginess of the force....
I finally make it through the mists of fog, enjoying the meager new music until I finally come upon it. Lag-World...err...The Village. Just like when I was testing it on TC2, The Village was jammed pack...some players riding the Bad-Color...some jedi running about, others lifting rocks with their minds and doing other hippy stuff. So I start my force training...I aint no jedi, I aint no grinder...but I am a commando...and forever I shall be one. Rohak just laughed at me and pointed me towards to Captain Sarguillo. Well actually I went to that little rodian and gave in all my xp...all those +0's in the XP monitor was music to my ears....
In any case....I start valiently defending the village by patrolling for the evil sith. Piece of cake, or so I thought. Well in the end it was a piece of cake anyways, till the 9th patrol...I came under fire from 2 groups of sith, both amassed raiding parties...unfortunately by engaging them I failed the patrol...
But what I ALSO failed, was my AV-21 speeder. One of the brawling sith NPCs just randomly broke off his attack (we were the ones fighting, I fought him directly!) and ran towards my AV-21...mutilating it beyond repair. Worse yet, It died right as I killed the Sith Sucker...
As you all know when a commando gets mad, all hell breaks loose. Thats precisely what happened...the Last Patrol...the 10th one...
I hunted down, rammed, stomped, flamed, froze, lagged, burned, kicked, headbutted, slapped, punched, slit, cut, slash, bonked, master bonked, sniper bonked, commando bonked, melted, exploded, tagged, womped, walloped, slammed, tackled, bonked, took down, struck, sneered, jabbed, clawed, whacked, bonked, poked, duel slapped, and finally bonked the living bejeezus out of every single damned Sith within a 2,000 meter radius of the Village.
Apparently...the Sith are Drawn to the Bad-Color....the Red colour of my AV-21....
Much more Sith Butt Kicking, and some buffs collasping later....
Only positive thing out of this (still negative), was how I took a run to the corvette to attempt to get a powerplant, I took a wookiee guildmate who never was up there before. Well he wasnt buffed and died a few times (I used him as a decoy/wookiee shield in 2 cases LOL!). I hit 3 of the 4 loot points (dont get the 4th) without dieing...and good thing to, no power-plant....So my quest goes on: To Kick Sith Butt and get another AV-21 and paint it with the "Good Color"....
That is my story...
[This story is 100% totally true, but so heart wrenching for me, as well as ironic...its funny...]

omg. lol. THAT was a great story. sorry to hear about the av-21. ouch. talk about an expensive loss. 
i got a feeling that lag-ville is gonna stay like that for a long, long time. maybe forever as long as the game exists.

i dont think it will soon as all the people there finish there quest they have no reason to be there other then changin combat points to FS points learnign a skill then leaving. at the begining of each cycle it will be LAgvillage but most people finish there quest in a day or two. and i HATE the fact that you cant do the missions that you got credit for and one that you havent. becuase i am an idiot that did one i alreayd had so now i waite 6 weeks to unlock instead of 3 poop on me.

Haha....I love that part, good stuff. That was quite the entertaining story, and all the better because it actually happened.
