SWG Emu New Years Update

This might not warrant a new thread, but it is pretty neat nonetheless.

Scroll down and there's a treat for you! A screenie of someone flying in Coronet! Yey! lol I always wanted to have atmospheric flight in SWG, so it was cool to see a screenshot of it.

Hope you guys enjoy it too.

And btw, who plans on playing the SWG-EMU once it is "complete?" I think it could be fun, but not as a regular pastime like in the olden days. Also, I believe that even now we could get onto some server somewhere for testing. That could be neat too.

However, other than nostalgia, SWG of any kind isn't going to be fun without friends. It will just be, as I said before, neat. And even with friends, if there's only dozens of people on a server instead of thousands, well that would be much less than ideal, too. So I'm not getting my hopes up for more than some fooling around for old times sake if I ever try it out.

It just won't be able to match the old, legal, SWG.

i wonder how flying on the planets is gonna work..

It may not even be in the final build, if there is even such a thing as a final build with this. Wasn't their intention to make the game just like it was before the CU? If so, why are they fucking around with it so much? Why even bother making banthas the size of a skyscraper, toying with "not ideal" atmospheric flight, or rendering Yoda? It's neat, but just slows them down.

And what's worse, if they fuck with stuff, the game isn't going to be like it was Pre-cu anyway; and then what exactly is the point of the emu anyway?

yeah that is true, i just figured they were doing all that stuff because they've been working on it for two+ years and they are getting bored with it. there are a ton of OSF back on the normal SWG so i wonder if a bunch of them just gave up on it

I can't blame them for getting bored. I know I would! And I'd certainly fool around too. But if they put that stuff they fooled around with in the "final" rendition, then they just ruined everything they worked for: to bring back the original SWG, exactly the way it was pre-cu.

And honestly, when you think of it that way, it is going to be pretty boring before long. Playing a MMO knowing things will always be exactly the same is not a fun thing, at least for me. I like to know there will be changes, improvements and add-ons, later on. More adventure, more power, more things to do and see. Perhaps the EMU devs will do that, perhaps that's what their goal is by changing how SWG was originally pre-cu. *shrug* I dunno. The whole thing is weird. lol Makes it kind of hard to let SWG RIP.
