I'll update this as more questions are asked. Feel free to start any topics asking anything you want. How long to go from now? Anywhere between the next five minutes and six months. I'm sorry I can't be any more specific, and please note - I'm just as eager as you are. If there are ANY updates whatsoever, I'll post them. They are taking their time in developing this to make sure they get it perfect. You can have it right now and bugged to fuck, or in 6 months times and working like a dream. I know which I'd rather have. Will it be free? Yes. Completely and utterly free. How free? I know thats bullshit. Where's the catch? Completely free. Didn't you read? Its free. Well, for you anyway. For me it'll cost in excess of $400 a month. Okay, close your mouth. I'm planning to take pictures of elliot and kat fornicating when we meet up then sell them to paysites, and combined with the money tree in my back garden I'll be able to fund server upkeep. Don't worry about how Im paying for it, Its free, promise. Consider this my gift to the SWRP community as thanks for putting up with nearly 7 years (In April) of shit that we simply can't fix cause habbo isn't the right environment for us. And believe me, you are in fucking debt after this one. The cost alone throws any of my world famous modesty out of the window. You. Better. Be. Grateful. This isn't a scam, right? You aren't going to steal passwords or anything.. Plus, is it safe from other people? Only one person will have access to all the personal details collected from the server, and thats me. Bear in mind, that just means your account, your password, your email address and your IP address. I already know one of them and I can get two of the others from this site. The only issue is your password. If you don't trust me by now I'm afraid I'll have to nut you, but if you're seriously concerned about your safety use a different password. As for being safe from other people, 100%. I promise you it. $400 a month tells you I'm not into doing things second rate. But you have to have the official game to play, right? Technically, yes. You have to have a legitimately bought copy of Star Wars Galaxies to play. I saw your face drop there. Don't worry - I'll be giving you a complete guide on how to get SWG without buying it so you can play regardless nearer to release. Whats this about Force Sensitivity? I can't be a Jedi? No, you can - But not many people will unlock force sensitivity. Unlocking it requires a long, painstaking process that will take several months to even get to the rank of Initiate. Why? Balance issues. There will only be a limited number of Force Sensitives. If you want it, by god you're going to have to work for it. But never fear! SWG is awesome without force sensitivity. I actually enjoyed it less when I got to Padawan. I heard its Pre-CU. Does that mean the expansion packs won't work? Not at all. All expansion packs released after Pre-CU SWG will be included in this version. Yes, you can still use Jump to Lightspeed, hang out on Mustafa and screw around Kashyyyk's forests. All the gems without the shit surrounding it. Will my computer have to be fast? Not really. SWG is four years old now. I'll post up more information when I've done some proper benchmarking. I'm running on a 56k modem / I have limited bandwidth, therefore I can't download it or patch it enough to play TOUGH SHIT. Nah, only kidding. If you're stuck in a rut just let me know nearer the time. I'm willing to post out dvds with the stuff you need for free. All I need is your address, obviously. Check with mommy and daddy first. This doesn't include lazy cunts. Download it, I'm not made of money. Can I have free stuff / Can I have buffs / Can I have a headstart? No, no, and no. EVERYONE will be starting at the same time and with no advantages or disadvantages. That includes myself and anyone working on the upkeep of the server. We will all start equally and there are NO exceptions to that. Can I be a mod/admin? Don't even go there. Too early for now. If I want you as a mod or an admin, I'll ask you. For now the team will consist of me, Martyn (a good friend of mine willing to pay for half the server upkeep), and my brother Eric (whom you'll find an absolutely lovely, extremely intelligent 15 year old who thinks "SWRP on habbo is immature.") Who and what will be running it? Will it be a Dedicated Host? Or will it be online for certain amounts of time? Online 24/7 and I'm going to be paying for a cluster of servers to run it dedicated. Will we need third-party programs to run it? E.g - Hamachi? Nope. All you need is the client. Will it be laggy? No, no and no. We're paying for a server that'll be powerful enough to withstand such a large amount of people. We'll be running it on a cluster server, meaning it won't just be running on one computer, it'll be running on several. If more people log in and there's bandwidth issues, if its possible to up the cost every month I will do so. It sounds bad here but I'll never go under the mark I'm at now but say if there's 300 people playing constantly and anything over that lags, I'll set a cap until I can make enough money to upgrade, possibly setting up a donate but of course that is completely optional. Bear in mind lag will not be a problem unless we suddenly have a crazy amount of players playing. By crazy, I mean hundreds. Do you plan on customizing them to create a differnt story line... Or will it just be the Standard SWG Emu? I intend to change quite a few different things. Some of the thing I'm reluctant to talk about for the time being (surprise), and others are still in their infancy. The rest will take too long to explain but wherever there are changes, they'll be good ones that coincide with our community. Can I use the Trial version I have installed to play? The SoE trial is the full version of the game complete with no key, so its highly likely you'll be able to use your trial version. If not, its easily patched up. Keep it installed until further notice just in case. Will the server be populated with NPCs (Non-Player Characters)? If so, will there be many? Fully populated. Each planet will feel like a living breathing planet, with construction droids wandering around busy starports, citizens having a chat in the local cantina, even both Rebel and Imperial forces seeking out opposing factions and having fisticuffs in the street. It'll be well populated. If you're a bounty hunter do you capture NPC's or PC's? Both. For example, you can go to a mission terminal and get a mission to hunt down an NPC that could be on any world, literally. Therefore you'll need hunter-seeker droids to catch your prey. On top of that though, there are bounties for specific characters. For example, if a Jedi ignited his lightsaber in a public place, you can bet that he'd then be up for grabs on the mission terminal for all you hotshots out there. How many worlds is there? NOTE: THIS PICTURE EXCLUDES MUSTAFA AND KASHYYYK, WHICH ARE ALSO AVAILABLE. FOR AN IN DEPTH GUIDE TO EACH PLANET, CLICK ON ME THEN CLICK ON THE SPECIFIC PLANET YOU'D LIKE TO LOOK AT. ![]() How many characters are we allowed on the server? Are we allowed multiple accounts (More than one username)? I will be allowing probably around 4 characters per account. There is a reason for this - I don't want everyone self sufficient because that fucks the economy up, but I want you to be able to allow say your brother to play without having to delete accounts, or if you're wanting to experiment you're free to do so. Multiple accounts are NOT allowed (This includes more than one account per household to stop any confusion and this is why 4 characters are allowed to so there's no argument.) What races are there to choose from? Human Bothan Ithorian Mon Calamari Rodian Sullustan Trandoshan Twi'lek Wookiee Zabrak |
