Hey Nadia, if you need any help in game feel free to message Arsenal or Anvil

    Zerimis, post: 1718, member: 1481 wrote: [Unavailable historical attachment #496] I'm Zerimis, originally back in the SWG live days I went by Sysion and hailed from Chilastra. I played on live from right as the CU rolled out to a while past NGE. After NGE, much of the group I played with (SPG on Tatooine) fizzled out. I came back right before live shut down to look around, and did run into a few familiar faces. I was mostly into crafting and resource hoarding, mostly as Armorsmith. I checked out other SWG servers back around 2017, but was amidst a stressful time with work and all. Recently felt it beckoning again, and at a more chill time in my life. Maybe this is a midlife crisis? IRL I'm from central California, was a software developer for a lifetime, retired from that, and now work for myself as a CNC machinist. I was glad to find SWG Evolve from a youtube video and loved the classless concept. I loved the flexibility over the pre-baked NGE classes, but here it also isn't a crazy prolonged grind for the initial leveling. Hopefully see you around. I'd like to see how the player market is here, get back to the resource hoarding. I'll be looking into some guilds, looking forward to some group PvE, and maybe group PvP (not that good, but can be fun). Even the last few days, kind of like just sitting with the sounds of Mos Eisely in the background. Welcome! I too hailed from Chilastra! Eyesadrift was my main characters name. CNC machining, huh? That's awesome!

    Welcome Harald/Wobby of Holland! Beast master is great, the 1 pet is very strong and has a lot of flexibility with the different skills they can learn depending on their family. You don't technically have to feed them, but it can make them happy with improves their damage output OGs and also Mustafar instances give 100k per completion, decent income for sure!

I joined late, very late, last night when it is likely that not many players were on. So, if 100 people play, what time(s) do they tend to play? I'd like to know so that I am not the only person playing at the time. Oh, and I live in AZ so, no daylight savings. Half the year, now, I am on PST. The other half of the year I am on MST. If you could give any time frames in what time Zone they are locally (PST, AZT, MST, CST, EST) where they are at, I can calculate when I should get on with that information. The first Character I created was an Entertainer, which I could sure use some help with remembering how to dole out buff's to others. It's been since the shut down in 2011 that I last played so, it's been 13 years, five children, and another life-time ago since I last played. It's great to be here and I am sure it will be great meeting everyone. Oh, and can someone tell me why there is only one hair style for human females, the rest of the head styles being horns? No offense meant by asking. Just wondering. Or, there is a good chance that I missed something. Oh, and can someone tell me why there is only one hair style for human females, the rest of the head styles being horns? No offense meant by asking. Just wondering. Or, there is a good chance that I missed something. Sounds like you chose Zabrak, and not a Human. They look similar, but Zabraks have horns. Hello, everyone. I'm new and I too would like to know when to meet everyone and what good times most players are on and active. Best bet is to check the discord for event times, and meet folks there. Or look in the guild recruitment, and join a guild's discord. Most people keep to the guild/guild city. Peak time is 8ish EST.

    Flight, post: 864, member: 1184 wrote: Hi all, Good to be here. Thanks to all whose work has made this happen. I played SWG on release in 2003 on Eclipse for around 6 months. I've always wanted to go back and I finally got around to it. I'm really glad to be here. I'm 59 years old. I'm an Army Veteran - I have severe PTSD to the extent I rarely go out of the house and I avoid contact with other people (outside of my immediate family) as much as possible. I share this information because it means in game I generally keep myself to myself. I don't like that much, as a person I have a lot of empathy, I give more than I take and I like to help people where I can. But it's a curse I have to live with. Thanks again for providing this great game. Take care and have a good day. Welcome to Evolve @Flight, If there is anything that we can do for you, please don't hesitate to reach out to me on discord. There are a lot of friendly and helpful people on the server, who empathize the "lone wolf" aspect of your gameplay. Historical reactions: Like × 1

    Finnegan, post: 693, member: 991 wrote: loving the game so far , except for the fact that the credit drop and mission payout is horribly low , and theres no way to get a house. Hi Finnegan, welcome to Evolve. The credit drop is meant to help quell the plethora of AFK farmers that most servers suffer from, thereby driving the market up and up. Mission terminals have normal payouts, and our mustafar instances and heroic instances all pay 100k per instance. With the free set of heroic unlocks that you get and the statted katarn armor, you can easily get up and running. With some of the crazier builds here it is possible to even solo many of those instances. As far as houses, looking at the marketplace https://www.swgevolve.com/pages/Marketplace/ there are quite a few options for under 10k, which is pretty cheap Historical reactions: Like × 1

    Well overall I like the idea, I don't care for the original mechanics in SWG as it was lacking, but always found the Newer was to simplistic and scrapped some of the good unique progression before. Also, preferred the newer GUI. I am a long time legends' player, but really interested in trying this out. Server seems a bit dead tonight, but I will take some time to look over all the changes. So far I like what I see on the progression part of it. Anyways, just saying hi to the community here.

I'm excited to sink my teeth into it because I love old MMOs, I think the current Discord link is invalid though so I can't connect. Can't wait to see you all in game as soon as I can get in lol.

    Fyrakin, post: 472, member: 642 wrote: I bought my first copy of SWG back in 2003 November, my very first chacter I created on Naritus was named Fyrakin Liosta, since then this became my nickname in all of the gaming communities I've been showing up (LOTRO, STO, SWTOR, ESO). Between 2003 and the end of official SWG I've spent several years playing on TC-Prime, when Naritus was closed my characters were moved to Flurry. I'm a programmer since 1990, my studies were in a field of robotics with a huge focus on programming (math, machine code, other low/high level languages). When I started playing SWG I was senior programmer in a software development company, so my inner dev was allways looking for things regular gamer couldn't see :), this helped me on TC great deal. Between now and then I explored other online games, but none of them kept me for long. I was allways longing for classless sandbox where you can chill and have fun. This project looks very promising, I'm sure I'll stick around. Glad to have you here, looking forward to playing/interacting with you more!

    Rynde, post: 437, member: 1017 wrote: Greetings all, long time player of SWG from the beginning to the end of NGE, I loved so many factors of this game and have played a bunch of the redone games. Pre Cu is just too old and slow and doesn't offer enough for a player, cu is better but a total grind and still misses a lot, and though NGE gets the worst wrap was the most fun time to play. I am excited to see the classless system and how it is played additionally love the idea of unlocking more species. Personally I would like to play as a droid, if there would ever be a possibility of that however I know that is probably too vague of an idea. I too am having problems connecting to discord and or even the server right now I am wondering if it is down atm. Either way excited to see what comes with this server. Welcome to Evolve! Both Discord and the Game Server are online, if you're having issues you can reach out to me via DM here or can reach me on Discord as chavex Historical reactions: Like × 1

    Wesleybruce, post: 434, member: 1012 wrote: Its all working now I suspect the up dates you made took while to register at my end. It was on the discord popup. Discord can sometimes lag a bit because I'm on the wrong side of the planet from everyone else. However the game handles Australia OK and does not lag. I am seeing thinks pop in but that's happening on the videos I see of other people playing it. I have already found two quest bugs to report so I'll find the bug tracker. Well glad you got it sorted. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions or run into issues. Welcome to Evolve! Historical reactions: Like × 1
