Star Wars Galaxies Website

Star Wars Galaxies (abbreviated SWG) is a Star Wars themed MMORPG for Microsoft Windows PCs developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts. SWG charges a monthly subscription fee of $14.99USD. This guild is here because we want to make a place amongst all the other Game guilds for people who play SWG to discuss the game and its many features!
The game itself offers the following features
The game events are set between the events of Episode IV A New Hope, and Episode V The Empire Strikes Back.
The game covers 10 planets Tatooine, Naboo, Corellia, Talus, Rori, Dantooine, Lok, Yavin IV, the forest moon of Endor, and Dathomir. In the 2nd expansion Rage of the Wookiees, the Wookiee planet Kashyyyk was added. In the 3rd expansion Trials of Obi-Wan, the planet Mustafar was added.Characters and points of interest that players can visit within the game include R2-D2,C-3PO, their escape pod on Tatooine, the Naboo Royal Palace, the abandoned Rebel bases on Dantooine and Yavin IV, the notorious pirate Nym in his stronghold on Lok, Ewoks and Rancors.
The 10 species available to players include Human, Twi'lek, Zabrak, Wookiee, Trandoshan, Rodian, Mon Calamari, Bothan, Sullustan and Ithorian. There are 9 professions Jedi, Bounty Hunter, Smuggler, Commando, Spy, Officer, Medic, Entertainer, and Trader. In addition to these professions, a character can also choose Pilot sub-professions. Upcoming editions will add the "Beast Master" sub-profession. (Note; These are the recent professions, if you have been here since 2003 or later we feel your pain".
Another key feature is player housing, guilds, and cities
Characters can erect, own and decorate a variety of buildings, including houses, cantinas, guild halls and city halls. These buildings, when grouped, can be organized into cities. Players hold elections via ballot box for Mayor. Elected mayors grant city members certain rights to place structures within the city and eject players from cities as needed. Reelections are held every two weeks. If another player wishes to run for mayor they can add their name at any time to the ballot box to run against the incumbent. As cities grow in population, they become eligible to add services and facilities such as vehicle repair garages, shuttleports, cloning facilities, hospitals, cantinas and garden displays. They can show up on the planetary maps alongside canonical cities such as Theed and Mos Eisley.
Other features
Single- and multi-passenger ground vehicles and starships (landspeeders, speeder bikes, swoops, X-wings, TIE fighters and even several of the YT series of ships)
Player-run economy where player characters are responsible for creating many in-game items including blasters,starships, clothing, armor, food, housing, furniture and even a wide variety of droids. Items are created from player-collected raw materials and looted items.
An extensive set of emotes, moods, and associated animations, which affect not only an avatar's physical appearance but also the text used to describe a character's speech, and even the shape of the speech bubble displayed on-screen.
Standard MMORPG features such as player guilds, chat functionality, and other community features.
The ability for players to place bounties on opponents that kill them in PVP. Player character bounty hunters can then pick up another character's "bounty mission" on the terminals and track the character down. A bounty can be claimed at anytime, regardless of the target's PvP setting. Up to three bounty hunters can be tracking a character at any given time.
An extensive character creation system. Characters can hire Entertainers to change their appearance in-game, with even more options than those available at creation. Every visual aspect of a character is thereby changeable at any time after character creation except species and gender.
