Galaxies book recently asked me a few questions

I attempted to reply to them I'm not known for my words though so my answers are a little short.

Anyway you can read the Q&A here

I think sometimes short answers can be fine.

No, honestly.

It does well to give the impression that we're definitely aiming for a low/no tweaks pre-CU experience for a while, but are open to discussion later on. Job's a good 'un, as they say.

Indeed, they were really well answered, gave exactly what we (GalaxiesBook) were looking for. Getting the word out in as many places as possible while giving people a feel for who and what the server's are about!

i found it interesting that both us and bria reborn have expressed the same concerns with the swge team running a server

the thread i reference btw is http://www.euro-chimaera.co.uk/forum...ead.php?t=2876 incase any of you don't remember

I'm posting here because I don't want to necro the other thread. It hadn't been replied to for a few days.

You and I both have the same train of thought. We've both put a lot of effort into our communities (yours more so than mine, as we had long period of absence).

The fact of the matter is that people would perceive a SWGEmu hosted server as the server to play on. All of you had valid points: just because a server is hosted by the developers doesn't mean that it would be the best. Not to mention the sheer volume of people signing up and causing bandwith issues.

So let's suppose that they did host a server and they can handle their huge influx of users. So where does that leave us? While Euro-Chimaera may have not have to pay that much for servers due to their datacenter connections, I however, would be paying a good amount of my earned money. We'd be running at a super loss (as we're already operating at a loss, because we obviously can't gain a profit from this).

I mean, look at the donations they get now. If they had an actual server to maintain, I'm sure they'd get a very generous sum of donations. Again, that leaves us with a smaller playerbase that may or may not donate.

And that's just the money aspect of it!

You've already mentioned in that thread that an official server would surely be more up to date and better coded than any of ours would be. Who's going to play on a server that's outdated and barely populated?

Nobody.

Indeed, that is why I am still trying to get the other communities to take the same questions - having everyone know their opinions on topics can only make everything stronger in one way or the other :/

talk to "nom anor" for TG (think i got the spelling right) he'll be able to pretty much answer you straight away he can be reached on either the truegalaxies website or also on here he checks his pm's.

I know it sounds cheesy but would forming some kind of collective and being vocal where it matters on the SWGemu forums be a good idea its really all we are able to do is make sure we as servers are not just frozen out because it does not just serve us if they release first you can be sure all memory of us will be obliterated if ANH release sooner or a better emulator so either way we need to nip this in the bud

[hinch]

the swge tards are expecting us to come panting to them to tell them what we think instead of them acting like service providers and coming to us their clients.

they've posted details for how we can get intouch with them on their forums but tbh I really cannot be arsed to put any more effort into dealing with them I just get wound up by their attitudes.
