Thanks so much for the heads up about the release soon, that's exciting news and I'll have something to look forward to when I get home! As for your comment about the community being the game? I could not agree more! I wish half the games out these days had half of what Star Wars held, MMORPG's might have a far better rep. Thanks too, for dropping by and the comment! Heya John!

I started playing SWG from its release, before vehicles or mounts had been introduced. Mining was my speciality and I remember *running* across planets all night long surveying. And the crowds you'd get out in front of the Coronet spaceport... just a hundred players hanging out chatting, swapping, emoting etc. I've never seen anything like it before or since then. You'd make new friends, run into old ones ... I used to put on a fireworks display for the crowd every coupla nights. The community *was* the game.

It was pretty much the community and people behind the game that kept me going back, and, has for the moment, drawn me back once again. Funny you should mention EQ II! I just earned enough money here to play with a Station Pass for a bit, and have started over in EQ II. They've really cleaned up the game, in my opinion. I've also enjoyed playing there!

However this sounds amazing that a team of people are working on their own free time to try and rebuild an old game - isn't there going to be any copyright restrictions? <abbr><em>Dan posted: <a href="http://www.raceforamillion.co.uk/how-to-overcome-distractions/" rel="nofollow">How To Overcome Distractions</a></abbr></em> I never actually started playing galaxies – I was more into EQ2 at the time, and I normally like to stick with one mmorpg at a time (yet when I got to level 67, I realised that there was nothing much more I could do at 70, besides start again, which I didn’t want to do, so I ended up quitting!)
