Best part is that this will separate those who want to test and help implement pre-cu and those who just want to play a free game. Good job Dev's! It's amazing watching all this progress!

Stupid Questions
 

im so excited for the OR! but i have a ton of loser questions.
when do player cities come out? when do legit guilds come out? when is the first big wipe? will the updates you put in stay (cuz i heard repairing your vehicle works now but it didnt for me :P)?

but anyway, you guys do a great job and i cant wait to be done with the OR and have a new, fun way to play :D

So the frog Is coming back I assume?

you ever going to give me back my tie defender????

As for all the tears about a wipe, I say bring it on! Consider a few amazing things:
a. This project has been going on for how long?
b. The coders are doing this pro bono.
c. No one is payhing for the enjoyment of thier work.
d. To those that keep saying but but 90% opf the players want to be Jedi make it easy...go play nge. Your argument lead us down that road.

see you all in testing....

No, you can not have you Oppie back. I crashed it into SOE's servers and blowed them up! D*** the torpedos full speed ahead!

Player cities are already on the OR and being tested. They need more work of course...but that is the point.
The guild terminals are already spawning in the guild halls. We only need convert Guilds over to the OR codebase and they will be as legitimate as they were Pre-CUThe first big wipe? The initial wipe moving from the current Nova codebase to the OR will occur in early September. No exact date is known yet. After that, wipes will occur as often as we need to in order to move forward with completing the server code. It could be each day, week, month. We will of course do our best to supply you with the means to test the testing focus efficiently.Of course they will stay. That's what the OR is all about.

cRush, you can totally have my first born child as a donation to this project... though I doubt children make coding any easier.... :)

Great job everyone involved!! Cant wait for early september!

Awesome. Thanks for the update. You guys are doing a great job!

Yay for progress! =)

Im interested in scripting some Quests for the server later on, either completely new ones or recreate the old ones via guides I might find. Is there any API or language can take a look at beforehand or is it not clear yet whats going to be used?

This is awesome news. Grats to the dev team for sticking to the plan! Can wait to test the OR!

Congratulations and a huge thank you to all the SWG.emu team.

Thanks alot for all the hard work everyone! This is very exciting indeed. Now that everything is standard, hopefully in the future we can see more of SoE's post-CU content in a pre-CU package 8) (multi-passenger vehicles, JLS, etc etc)

testing should be fun. i dont wanna just play a free game has been said i wanna play the orginal starwars galaxies fully functioniong and i want space ships back =) and i am willing t test along side the others. if need be because i know this will turn out to be a great server one day. thanks swg emu staff you guy rock!

i thought jls was pre cu. kinda like trials of obiwon was pre nge . but cu came right after or am i wrong?

If you're reffering to JTL (Jump to Lightspeed), then yes that was Publish 11 of Pre-CU (CU was Publish 15).

However the SWGEmu staff have stated that JTL is not a priority in terms of feature implementation, and the ground potion is the focus.

*jumps back 9 months.

Halp...

I know this is a bit premature, but I've forgotten whether a wipe will kill our macros. Do I need to copy/save my macros.txt file or what?

Unless you are using another account name, then no (which I doubt is the case since they are tied to forum accounts.)

This is pure gold, thank you to all that are making this possible! I will try to test as long as i can. Thanks again!

Outstanding news! Thank you one and all for your continued commitment to this game we love :)

YAHOO! From no eta to around the end of the year to early September!

The OR pace has certainly accelerated, gotta love it!

Can't wait for it to happen. The sooner it does, the sooner we go live!

Hopefully we won't have to wait TOO long for JTL when it comes around to that though.

luv ya'll! :D

Yup we are going hyperspace now http://www.theythatare.com/forum/ima.../palpatine.gif

Can't we just skip to ludicrous speed?

Awesome news guys nice to see some progress :)

OMG!!!!

Its alive?!?!?!

Ha ha Vlada ive been a lurker for a while now just dont have time to play at the moment :(

You are not missing much except the only chance you will ever get to play jedi :p

awesome news, keep it up :)

so wait jedi wont be implemented in the or? ... hmm. where can i view all the stuff planned after the launch of the or. :)

Whats gonna be right after the OR is on the first page, whats gonna be when they finish testing is Pre-CU.

I just noticed that you weren't jedi pre-nge. Because that jedi build you show us in signature wouldn't be possible in pre-nge. You are missing 22 points for filling up the healer 4xx4 which means you aren't a pre-nge jedi but a SWGemu jedi. You jedi build only exists in emu because we have 24 points extra which make is possible.

Damn! I hit enter. Wasn't done yet and can't edit here.

Great news :), keep it up!

Awsome job everyone. Props to everyone. I hugely excited for everything, I'll keep grinding my DE, even if it isn't in yet damn it. XP

umm lube
pre-village there was NOT fs boxes to fill.
village you have to play filling the fs boxes before you got to be a jedi.

pre-publish 9 that is a very reasonable build.

Good to hear. Was hoping CH was on that list. well, i can wait. Lookin forward to testing the new code

Just Curious. But when do you think public testing for jump to lightspeed be implemented? It is the only thing that I would ever think of playing nge for. I just love space.
