Star Wars Galaxies Preview by Roop Dirump 06/13/2003, 11:20am PDT
This isn't a preview of the game, but a preview of what's really important in a Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game--the community. Those worthless griefing bastards and other idiots that populate these online games, it's not all of the players. And that's what's so great about the SWG forums right now. First, there's really nothing left to talk about. Second, all the intelligent, helpful players from the forums have been given beta accounts, and can no longer really take part because of the NDA, and stick to the private beta testing forum. So... what you're left with is the underbelly, and the underbelly alone, and they're frustrated and a little angry they weren't picked. O how they shall get that force sensitive slot open wide, O how all shall quiver before their leetness. AH, I know it'll become just another typical mmorpg forum once the game is released, but right now it's really something special.

Personally I'd be happy if they'd just allow cross-dressing, that'd be my own "question for Q." I want to be one of those little green guys like Han Solo shot in the original movie, a pistol-wielding exotic dancer, and I'd wear a pink frock with lots of white ruffles. I'd hang out in bars all day. No pink frock? Then fuck that, why hang out in bars?


The following are actual quotes from the Star Wars Galaxies Forums:

Q3PO says something

excellent post

thanx Q!

first?

First!

woot!

firszt

first

woot!

:)

first

I be waiting for this post all day, I even went so far as to sit down with my dauter and watch Starwars episode II attack of the clones while my little girl swings a Dooku lightsaber

Blood Patch Plz!
Ok i like blood in my games. I ish they could have a blood patch for us mature people. They could verify are age by our credit card.
Plz!

first

question: i know about marriages and stuff but will there be gay/lesbian marriages, if not i will sue cause i have gay pride and im gay and if i cant i will sue you for all you have

Can we name our weapons and/or any other type of gear?

Do I got this right to become a Jedi we have to first make a junk throuaway character, do whatever stuff, then the force slot opens then we make our real character tha we want to use as the Jedi? Can you make it we can transfer the first character into the foce slot if it opens?

woot!

first of all, you are not first.
And second, don't be a jerk - treat Q with respect. I'm sure he will gladly put in gay marriages.

gay people think they r better then everyone else.. but their not because well,, their gay.. i dont like them.. and alot of people dont.. they scare people.. guys liking other guys s just wrong.. u can go shove that gay pride up your ass

When the SE comes out, will you be able to patch together "Uglies", that is, a ship that's put together with what you have? Like, a cross between a Tie and an X-Wing would be called a Tie-Wing. Something like that.

Ok let see... get sued cause they didn't put in gay marriage or... no wait aren't they not allowed in the usa? If they are they will put it in cause they don't give a admn about continuity if they know they will get sued cause of it.

Trust me, ppl will sue for that.

****ing soccer mom screwed my Christmas Day in Animal Crossing. And she wasnt even jewish god damnit.

Can I own a cantina?

Hows the Chef profession turning out?

guy who dissed on gays, ur reported

More importantly what if it doesn't work out and you need a divorce? Do you have to give her (more than likely a he) half of everything? Or could you PK her(again more than likely a he) instead?

I know that is gross, I know of too many guys playing girls, not that there is anything wrong with girls of course. But in my mind, it's GAY for a male to want to be a female, even if it's a game.

i wasnt dissing gays i was just saying this is meant to be sar wars they didnt have gays in star wars its meant to be roleplay

how do you know there werent gays in starwars, what about the jawas
im not gay i was kidding about that, but what about the people that are gay and are disgusted by women and want to get married?

please take this gay conversation to another thread and leave this one for questions for Q

Hey Q, any word on if we can "Get Drunk" in SWG ala EQ?

PLEASE!? :) :) :)

Promised myself, giddy i would not be :) but what the hey, *giggles like french school girl*

Thanks Q for the release of the NDA and the Official Release Date.

excellent post? I would disagree, it was actually a useless post. It told us nothing and just avoided anything we wanted to know. Even the tuesady tips revealed no information and were completely useless to non-beta people. Couldn't you have at elast given us a couple of screen shots or a beta story or something?

i wasn't reported right? I didn't diss on gays.

I just wanted to know, who is going to play a male Dancer or a Male Hair Stylist?

I know this wont ever be in the game but it would be a cool idea. A profession called a Cleric that requires Force Sensitivity, a Cleric would be the god of guns and could have Matrix and Equilibrium style powers. For example he could run on walls, dodge laser blasts, all the matrix stuff. Most people havent seen Equilibrium so here's an example from the movie, A cleric runs into a pitch black room surrounded by 8 guys with rifles and he sits and waits for them all to whisper so he knows where they are, then in lightning quick fashions he blasts all of the other players with his double pistols simotaneously dodging thier shots.

With the Collectors edition you get these glasses that you can put on. The are very thick glasses that pinch your nose so your voice is very high pitch. Also, they give you constant nose bleeds and will not let you leave the house. You will be a virgin all you life except on Star Wars if Q allows gay couples. Other than no real differnce with standard edition.

tks Q and who azz i need to kiss to be in beta been here for a year tks

The game will be not fun with a crap cap for skill points.
People need more choosable play-styles without having to play other servers.
Please improve skill cap to 3 complete elite professions like Creature Handler, Bio-Enginer and Teras Kasi Artist.
Or Rifleman, Dancer and Chef!
Or Politic, Pistoler and Weaponsmith!
Or Architect, Droid Enginer and Ranger!
Allow people to play more different play-styles with same character! That would make SWG different to others games

Sounds like crafting still has some tweaking to have done on it, but I'm glad you all decided to make it a little easier for the solo crafter, which is probably what I will be. Whether I will be casual or not is yet to be decided. If I'm paying $5 a month I might be casual but if I have to pay $15 a month I will be hard core. Make it cheap, please! Thanks for the beta info.

1% of a server will be force sensitive.
FS people can choose to be a jedi, or benefit from the FS bonuses.
Only FS people and jedi can tell if someone is FS.
And, FS will be in que to the next person who has never been FS. SO, when a person dies who is a jedi for example, it will be perma, but someone esle will now become FS because 1% of the server will always be FS.

so if once you get the fs slot, you will always be able to make a jedi with that account? isnt that a liitle gay?

Yes, it is gay, and NOT going to happen. Dont pay attention to them, they have no clue. They would never do it that way because then some people would monopolize the power and others would be stuck with out, and the game would go down the tubes. Trust in me, and read what I said, its the very truth on how it will be done.
You do NOT retain your fs at ALL. It goes back into the pool for someone esle to use in que.

You just need to realize the truth.... there is no FS Slot...

Why are you still taking Beta applications when there are so many of us, who signed up last summer, such as myself, and can't get
accepted?

I don't see where it is fair when someone could sign up today, and get accepted, yet reject past applicants.

What you are looking for in an applicant, that so many of us do't meet?

My cat's breath smells like cat food.
----------Q ; I need more------------

I don't usually post on these things, but..., uyou post was the funniest thing I've seen in months.
My dog's breath smells like dog pooh.

hey, i havent been accepted in the beta test yet...something must be wrong at station

When to hell this cool game came out ?When is the Release Date?
(Sorry i can´t english very well.)

I've read something about the 25 June but it's anyones guess. Don't worry about your English mine is appaling and I live there.

I WILL LEAVE MY SHRUB WORSHIP BEHIND AND WORSHIP BAG IF SOMEONE HERE GIVES ME A TRUE KEY TO PLAY SWG BETA! Buddy key whateva, I will
devote myself to the BAG and banish the shrub from memory!!!

To all the devs: I DIDNT SAY BAG!!! and I said bag only in order 2 say the bag is dead!!
I did......however say....

PENIS! PENIS! PENIS! PENIS! PENIS! PENIS! PENIS! PENIS! PENIS! PENIS! PENIS! PENIS! PENIS! PENIS! PENIS! a FEW 2 many times....don't
hold it against me

what the hell is bag, dont ban me im confused

im from swg discussion. there were so many good threads. and now thyre dead. all dead . I.. I wil kill the bag!! YOU LISTN BAG!!! I WILL KILL YOU. rebel against the bag. dont post on its thread. if they reach 20 pages, this forum will die to. ignore them and they will die.

FOLLOWERS OF THE BAG

what happened to the board?

BAG!

Get a life, you silly kids.

bag shall last forever.. we are stronger than shrub!!

They didn't break anything. Just Show All Topics and hit Go. The threads are there.

Guess what? BAG has there own Player Association when the game is released...

THE BAG!

whats with this bag thing. i mean i left for like 2 hours and when i come back the forum is all f*cked. what the hell is THE BAG?????

don't ask, you'll just get them started again.

THE BAG is an association of men who have nothing to breathe for so they mess with us.

It was an enemy of the Shrub who told its followers to spam this board until it crashed. They did so, but the Shrub came to the rescue and now that thread has been smited!
Long live the Shrub.

Well, we proved our point. The discussion forum inexcplicably went kaput on us. We racked up a total of about 1200 posts based solely on the most historic thing to hit these boards; THE BAG. But now that the point has been proven, and the fun has been had, I think it's time to put this BAG riot to rest. The admins/devs must know about it, since they got rid of the last post, so we can just let it die peacefully.

Also, I would again like to reiterate that this was not a personal shot to anyone on the development team. We respect you as people and as the hard workers working their respective butts off to give us our dream of a game. Without you guys, there wouldn't even be a reason to riot. Keep up the good work, we are forever in your debt.

And the BAG PA is still on.

thank you and have a nice day

The FAG!

Not a whole lot of information or help I can add to this post but I can say the space expansion has me excited. Those ships in Star Wars were obviously purpose built in mind without any thought into making them fashionable. I love that!

We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind. Cause if they don't dance, well if they don't dance, well they're no friends of mine. Say....we can go where we want to, someplace they will never find, and we can act like we come from out of this world, and leave the real one far behind. And we can dance.
"safety dance" by Men without hats.

DUDE Q!! YOU GOTTA HOOK IT UP with the duel edged saber. lol i'll just find it somehow. and then ill find how to be a jedi somehow and then maybe ill be like a super jedi and party all day with the dancers. On topic- i think youve done a good job so far. Youve connected all the aspects of this fictional world well. Not assigning classes was THE best idea you choose. I cant wait. OH YEA MAKE A SHORT RACE!!!!!! HALFLINGS WERE SO FUN TO PLAY ON EQ. NO ONE TAKES YOU SERIOUSLY AND THATS THE FUN OF IT!!!!!!

I hope this game isn't going lame US morals on me and not letting dancers dance topless or nude.

Yeah, I'm here to try and make a non-NDA breaking rant about the beta testers.
Everybody who said that it's their fault things are going slow.........you're right.

The majority of them are a bunch of whining weasels who do nothing but complain about everything they try to do with the game. Half of them seem to WANT EQ in space. Strangely enough....

So those who aren't beta testing, be freakin' glad. If you were, you'd have to deal with the loosers on the beta boards. Just sit and wait for release, and enjoy the game when it finally comes out. I trust the devs will be able to make all the smart decisions to make this game a smashing success in the end.

(Note: Not everybody there is a whining looser. There's plenty of intelligent, sound minded people there. It's just that the boards are saturated with whining. And it's starting to drive me crazy.)

How about releasing the game instead of putting out these endless beta updates.

WOOOOOOAAAAAAWWWW
This isn't even a game, it's more like a matrix kinda thing. Even turning out better than I had ever dared to hope.

Great work ppl

Screenshots.... I need screenshots!
i dont have much of an imganition so i cant picture what you speak of Q...

I don't think the current beta testers are doing their job, they probably don't even submit the bugs they find till like 2 weeks later.

I got a question. Can wookie's have mohawks as a hair style? and how customable is thier hair/features?

Greetings, Kevin
Very impressive resume you have online. ( ->me burns his 3D0 for them firing you )

I was wondering if you got your dungeon magazine subscription yet for christmas ? if not let me know

as for my question: Do you guys anticipcate having another wave of beta applications accepted any time soon or having another forums 100 ? or is it safe to say ' wait for the game to come out ' at this point?

Thanks a million



ps, im serious about that magazine subscription :P

also if you guys are looking for a few more beta candidates im still waiting on my email

------------

I would be willing to burn my 3DO and take pictures of it if that would increase my chances of getting in on the beta test !

I wish we can grew up in SWG

Can you blow up buildings/things with bombs and junk?

im new to mmorpg, if you build a house is that where you save the game? or are there special buildings to save the game?

C4n 1 b3 A uB3r-L337 J3d1 Haxx0R aNd Bl0w Up T3h D3aTh-St4R Li3k iN t3H MovI3???!!111

Why do you keep writing in L337?
Yes you can be a jedi eventually and no the will not be a death star to blow up.

DUDE IT IS CANCLEED

I JUST CALLED EB TO PREORDER THEY SAID ITS NO LONGER ON THEIR LIST

SIGN THE ONLINE PETITION TO SAVE SWG!!!

Would anyone be willing to give me a key for SWG. I know this may be cheating, but i'm just peeing my pants on this side just anxious to grasp SWG in my hand.

its amazing how hooked you guys are on this game. all this "Q" has to do is write anything and you have to be the first on the board to thank him? can we say butt-kissing?
im really drunk right now, so lemme be!

c3po is a gay *** it true

I'm 15, *sees everyone pointing their fingers at me calling me the problem with the board*

*deepens voice*

I...uherm...mean to say that I am a very mature manly man who knows all the right ways to make a constructive disscussion among his fellow gamers.

Can you be a _ninja_ When I say ninja I just mean, how rulebound are you? Can I say go into any town I like (say I somewhat magically worked my to jedi master by humping the wife of the CEO or whatever) could I then just walk as a normal person into any town and if I say saw some rich dude or someone with a name I didn't like, just go upto him, flip out my lightsabre and kill him instantly and disappear (like any dark jedi should be able to?) Or are there stupid gamerules that says I can't ruin other peoples characters by pointlessly killing them and making them loose exp.

I'm a highly competetive person, the most fun I get with multiplayer games is becoming the best and beating others. The whole POINT of MMORPGs should be to become the greatest, most powerfull person with the coolest stuff so you can showoff and totally rule over others. That is the whole point. When walking into the town as some highlevel superchar people SHOULD go "Wooooooooah" and go "omfg I need to get the fawk out of here". And if you find some idiot you should be able to slay him and make him loose exp. Which also adds to strategy, cause you need to be more carefull at lower levels not to get PvPd!

Ninja is like.. so totally NOT Star Wars... eat it punks. Give up your ninja fantasies! We all know you want to have a dancer who dresses like a ninja. It's time to say "I swing both ways"

ninjas are supposed to flip out and kill people

last

Sorry. I'm last!

Could it be me?

WOOT!
