[Merkor]

ha.. lubbe i miss the pre p9 days you remember right.. for me pre p9 was "the golden ära" of SWG.... i want my dark jedi back loved pre p9 jedi system much more then post p9... in this time jedi was much more hiding in my opinion the feeling about the game was much more like star wars ep4-5 timeline.

The focus right now is to get the emulator complete first That's the best advertising by itself.

The general plan for 1.0 is to have a fairly modular system with a number of options for potential server hosts. Community members will be able to host their own servers and modify them to add/remove/alter features as they see fit.

Our official v1.0 server code-named SunCrusher is still very much in the planning phase.

I think it would be a good idea to get a general consensus of what the majority of users on swgemu.com would want featured on the SunCrusher server. So that the majority would right away have a good "home" server from the start. This could be done by a vote, and kept active for maybe 1-2 months just to allow everyone enough time to vote. And then the minor majority would have to find an alternate server hosted by an outside party. Just an idea.

I have to disagree with you Eddy. Voting leads to chaos most of the time. Let the owners of a server set the rules that they want, and if they are good ones the server flies with a lots of people. If the over all effect of the server rules are bad then people walk with thier feet. Voting on a set of rules leads to a bad precidence....3 months laters you have a player base wanting to know why they can nto vote and have a say in things..then you get a flame war between players and the server admin gets a nice headache.
(the above is only my opinion based on experience with runnign servers)

A good admin will get the pulse of what they think the players want and try to marry that to thier vision of how they want a server to run. An Admin that is successful will generally have a plan and stick to it, but not to be so inflexable that they can not hear from the players and evaluate the changes asked for and how they will affect "thier" world.

One final thing to remember: in the end the admins are the ones providing the server, bandwidth and time to give you and I an enviroment that SoE/LA took away.

In this particular case i prefer a benevolent dictator as opposed to a whiny democracy. Sure, everyone gets a "voice" but that just usually leads to 49% complaining.

[mlang101]

i have to say its a beautiful project and has come leaps and bounds since i first joined its a project anyone who has been involved in/with developer and tester alike, just to be this far and so close to the end product that would/will put SOE to shame.

well done lads and keep the good work going we im sure i speak for all. are right behind you.

Awesome news. Looking forward to the OR going live 24/7!

The way SunChrsher will be is already said (though details not given): pre-CU canon with the necessary tweaks devs consider neccessary to enhance the game and "fix" unbalances and the problems the game had in live.

SunCrusher is SWGEmu team's server so it is up to them set the rules, the voting is out of question and, as it was said, conflictive.
Since the community will be able to set their own customized servers, is pointless try to make SunCrusher a server for everybody, not mention that it is impossible and what it is impossible it is impossible and also not possible.

Was wondering are you guys hoping to have the Loot System completed before the OR is released? or will that be coming sometime after?
