Diablo II LoD all the way baby!
This was me from 2000-2004 solid everyday. Then SWG, CoH, WoW. I obviously always came back to it though. When I was bored of MMOs, I'd be on Diablo 2.
SWG was my first MMO and ultimately the reason I got into WoW.
Dude, the original SWG was fucking incredibly good. Me and my mates played it, and before it was turned into a Star Wars reskin of Everquest, it was the best MMO out. City of Heroes had the best coop fun, SWG had the best roleplaying elements. Housing in that game was fantastic.
in 2004 was when i first discovered runescape, probably my first taste of mmo games. then went on to guild wars and lord of the rings online before starting wow in 2007 when tbc was out. could only afford the sub then when i had a job. but i remember in general chat channels of lotro especially, people would always talk shit about wow and how it was full of degenerates lmao

I always heard that SWG had the best crafting system, I really enjoy the crafting part of MMOs and always regret a little bit that WoW derailed it in TBC. I always wanted to try the SWG one, never heard why it was so good.

Selexin I thought it was amazing too... especially as someone who enjoys PVP. The player cities/housing were excellent and the randomness of the weapon drops (i.e. nightsister lances with different poisons/fire dots) coupled with the quality of crafted weapons vs. cookie cutter weapons added an element of unpredictability to the game. I enjoyed it a lot.
daisyKutter The crafting in SWG was unlike anything I've ever seen. I'm sure Selexin PM'd you but for those who are reading, the thing that made it so unique was that the individual resources used in the crafting process could be low to high quality, which would impact the overall stats of the item being crafted. Crafters had to prospect for resources, take samples, and scour the world for high quality materials, after which they could set up mines/harvesters to extract the materials... they had to experiment with materials to see how the individual quality/statistics of the resource would impact the item being crafted... i.e increased durability, increased damage, etc. If it was armor, the resources would impact the resistances/damage mitigation. There was an art to crafting and it was possible for crafters to make a ton of coin in the game... and ultimately hugely influence PVP if they produced superior items. Even that explanation is probably inadequate to describe the complexity/importance of crafting in SWG but it's a start.
Cheers.
I started playing in May 05, and before that I was mostly playing stuff on consoles. Wind Waker, Twin Snakes, Call of Duty Finest Hour, and Ninja Gaiden are what I think I was most into back then.
I played CS and Diablo 2.
Counterstrike 1.6. when youre born to play FPS there is nothing you can do but play FPS
I'll be honest I didn't really play many PC games until I met my partner at the time (who introduced me to WoW) and I was fairly young when Vanilla was out. So I was mostly on consoles playing games like... Pokemon, Final Fantasy, LoZ etc
Seems like we could have another forum called Coronet.chat with all these SWG peeps here :lol:
loved that game, i quit shortly after wow came out. the emulator is cool and all, but i miss jump to lightspeed
Sorry I played Vanilla but I didnt start at the beginning, honestly don't remember when I started, probably beginning of 2005.
Before WOW was basically FPS in half-life/half-life 2 and the very popular game called Counter-Strike 1.6
Counter-Strike was WOW before WOW was WOW, WOW so many WOW's!
Other mods too that were fun from half-life was Day of Defeat!
CS, Runescape, Worms
I joined wow right after TBC launch.
