this is a thread for all your early memories of swg.. back when you were a newbie.. back when everyone was a newbie..

i remember....

i rememberbragging to my friend that i had 8k credits from doing AH delivery missions. 8k was way more than i had in beta. I still have my DL44 that i used during the first weeks of the release. I remember everyone in mos eisley, back when it was cool and figuring out how to macro sampling...

saving for a probot to guard me while i sampled so i wouldnt DIE from kreetles and things..

harvesters were the COOLEST THING EVER because they gathered resources for you while you did other things or log out!! OMG!!

setting up a macro for sampling, going to sleep, then waking up in the middle of the night to see how much i got, and seeing how much exp i got from people using my CDEF pistols and bone armor..that was cool.. getting exp for people using your stuff.. its totally pointless now because people only use items crafted by masters, so what good is exp....

the importance of burst run and terrain negotiation...

setting up wind harvesters.. lol.. wind harvesters...

here'sthe post that inspired me to start this:

One memory was fighting squills in Mos Espa. I thought WOW, 3,000 pistol exp and 300 combat exp for one monster! I would draw them in the combat guild hall and run circles around them and kite. Occassionally they would get stuck in wall and I would get free hits on them. Other memories included doing delivery missions until I could afford traveling between planets. I went from Tattooine to Naboo and back and then thought I spent way too much money.

Reconsidered, please continue to share your stories but please keep it constructive and do not post "rant type" experiences. Some of the above things may actually help people seek out things to look for in the game that they have not already and I would like to keep this thread going that way.

I myself have wanted to kick that droid fixing that one terminal every time I walk by saying "WHAT! your not done yet!"

We got a big group and had this big strategy to line up out side and have someone try to draw one out and we all opened fire on it. We inched our way inside of the little town square or whatever it was and eventually killed all the tuskes. We'd waitaround for more to spawn and just hang out and kill them for a while.Back then I only had a CDEF pistol too, LOL . I remember when I got my first scout blaster. I was SO excited!

I remember back then there were actually performers in the cantinas. Iv played for the last three days and finaley found one master scout in mos isle who was bored and dancing. ...And before all the player housing you could wander out in the wilderness for ever, and actually feel like you were way away from everything, now it seems i hit a house or a town every few hundred yards. heh, and i remember when the bazaar was actually usefull...

Burst running away from a train of womp-ratsoutside Mos Eisley screaming for helpwas pretty embarrassing, especially when they followed me into town. Entertained a lot of people, though, I guess. Being taken under the wing of a bounty hunter on Naboo andgoing hunting for hours to gain Imp faction points was excellent. Invited me into his guild, and gave me a speeder-swoop. A complete hero. Just socialising in camp with other players, in-character, is so much fun. The social aspect of SWG is what sets it apart from other MMOs, for me. Very few Leets, some really funny and interesting characters out there. But my top memory is meeting a lone Jedi outside Mos Taike; this was like, three days after I first started. I mean, what are the odds of a newbie meeting an actual Jedi?Spent about twenty minutes in polite conversation with him. I rememberbeing awestruck the whole time, like I'd met somebody famous or something. Pity he couldn't ignite his saber for me to grab a screenie, though. But he's one of my friends now,and I guess a Jedi friend is a good thing to have, particularly as a new player.

Oh man so many memories.... Its hard to believe it has been almost 8 months. I remember stepping foot onot mos espa the first night of live. After it taking about 4 trys to actualy make a char because the servers were overloaded. I did enough delivery missions to get my ass over to lok, thinking i could grind out some xp there real quick with a few friends and get through marksmen. Yeeeaaaah LOK sucks when you and everyone else only have CDEF weapons. I ended up being trapped on lok for a few days with no one there. There was one other guy stuck on lok who had been there with about 2 friends and i was the first person he had seen there that didnt come with him. We did some delivery missions together just to build up enough money to get off the **edit** rock until we had some better weapons. The groups of 20 on lok were epic. I remember being freaked out when a kimo came along and wiped out our whole **edit** group. I also have a screen shot of the first desert womp rat that me and a buddy took out. Man those were the days.
