Your friend was right, I have some really GREAT memories playing that with about 4-5 of my real life friends, we had our own little small guild and it just felt like you were in the Star Wars Universe.
You could build your own town on most planets, build houses, architect was a profession, decorate your guild hall, display trophys on your walls, purchase stormtrooper and ATST NPCs to guard your town, set up shuttleports and vendors, and when other players visited your city and spent credits, your town made money. You could have elections and have a town mayor and so much more!
I was a creature handler from launch and I loved it. You could work with players who chose bio-engineering as a profession and cross animal DNA to make pets with unique attributes. There were cantinas where you could go if you just wanted to hang out and they were always full of players, a lot of players who didnt care for combat chose classes as dancers or musicians and they made their money from other players tips.
Player bounties, krayt hunts, Nightsister hunts, man that was an amazing game before they changed it up.
I have over 800 screenshots from when I played with my friends, pvping, our town, krayt hunts or just goofing around. From time to time I go through them for a smile.
Towards the end of when it was still good they would have NPCs like Vader appear in a major town with a whole entourage of troops and give a huge speech.
Players actually cared and gathered around. Never seen anyone give a damn about what an NPC is saying Warcraft.
And the quality of players that I remember on my server, there was one guy who was a tailor, that was it, that was his class/trade, he didnt care about combat, or exploring, he logged in and found joy in making outfits for players, dude never killed a thing, thats what he enjoyed doing. SWG had whole systems in place for players to enjoy and level classes that had nothing to do with killing things over and over to level up.
Still play Wow and enjoy it, but SWG knocked its socks off in its prime.
It was right when Warcraft came out and they did a huge "Combat Revamp" where they tried to copy Warcraft's style of play.
I remember literally logging in one day and my creature handler character had all of her pets that I spent tons of credits on removed and I had to choose a new class.
From there began the mass exodus and a giant was toppled.
What a shame.
