Do you play Star Wars Galaxies withother people in your family (parents, children, brothers or sisters)? Or do you and your significant other spend quality time playing in-game together? LucasArts is working on writing profiles of some of our more active and engaging players. Over the past two years, I’ve noticed lots of families and couples coming to events like Comic-Con and Fan Fest and we’d love to hear from you!


<snip>


Thanks to everyone who wrote it... I received literally hundreds of responses! Trying to get back to each and every one in a timely fashion.


And I hope to be able to share some of these stories with the rest of the community soon!

I sent my story in. Definitely interested in reading these.

As for the people complaining, please stop. Your not helping anything by getting off topic. Take your whining else where. This is a great thread - please don't hijack it.

Your so upset about losing 7 hours of gaming time, then quit and go do something else. Will just mean less spawn camping anyway.

me and my bro play, but on the same comp. Also my two best friends play. Good times, probably not worthy of a feature..but if I have time, what the hell.

These are some possible name changes the government has been mulling over: Halfghanistan, Pothole-istan, Jenniferanistan, @ssbackwardstan, Bye-bye-Talibanstan, @ss-Kicked-istan."

Too bad the whiner think this is a complaint/discussion thread, this is really a wonderful topic. I wrote two pages in Word about my families gameplay and mailed it. I am really looking forward to reading about this and I think it can be a great sources of inspiration for many people on how the whole family can have fun together.




Great initiative!!!

Why would someone 3-star or 1-star Fluxxen's post? Some people here are the worst trolls ever...

Anyway, while I do not personally play w/ any family members, a member of my Guild does, and I will be sure to point her here.

I met my boyfriend in SWG. We have been together now for over a year and we are still going strong. We have a guild and city (well he is the guild leader but it's all the wonderful people who we have met that has made this possible) on the Tarquinas server and still enjoy playing the game regularly. I feel it is a great way to meet new people.

I've already gotten some WONDERFUL stories about folks who have either met their significant others in game (or because of Star Wars in general) or play the game with their family members. It's going to take me a little bit to get through these, but I will be responding shortly to everyone who has emailed.


Thanks so much and keep your stories coming! :-)

I met my wife before Kunark came out in Everquest. We had been dating since eq had released she wanted to get married I told her if she couldn't make 50 in eq before kunark came out she wasn't serious about marrying me. Well we are still married and she was the 3rd master chef ever on bloodfin and is still an active 12 point chef today. I am on the other hand just another stinking Jedi.
