Heya

So I googled this website, seeing as I overheard from a RL friend that a working Pre CU emulator had been developing - you see I played SWG since the day it came out in Europe, I unlocked jedi, got to jedi knight, then the CU ... yeah you know.

Anyho, how many actual active users are currently using this forum? How long has the developing of the server been going on and when is it planned on being launched? Will it be able to eventually hold more than 3,000 players at once?


I was thinking of trying this server out, but it makes sense that I want a bit more info before I do that though, so any info added to this topic will be appreciated.

Thanks.

This forum is very active, more active than i have seen on other sites. Not sure how many are using the forum, but we have around 6k+ members and still growing.



I'm not positive on how long the server has been worked. Plans of launch of SWGEmu at the end of next month. That's basically all i can tell you.

HI and welcome!




One of our web geniuses would be best to give you that kind of information, but from what I've observed we have a healthy and steady playerbase, even without the emulator begin finished. Personally, I think GR will be one of the larger servers out there after launch, but that's not why you should choose GR. What makes GR stand apart is the community here. You'll find this community to be open, friendly, and free of flaming. It's a great place! Take the time to look through some threads and you'll see what I mean. We also have an opportunity as members here to interact with the leadership and developers in this community and create the SWG we've always wanted. It really is a highly democratic and cohesive community... very rare.





It's important to note that the emulator is not finished as of yet. What everyone is playing on currently is the Test Center that the SWGEmu development team is letting us play on in order to help them test things out. Galaxies Reborn is a server community. We will all be playing together on this server when the emulator is finished and goes live. To answer your question though, the SWGEmu community has been working on this... oh geeze... a LONG TIME!!!! It's a very exciting time because (although no one has officially said so) the project is getting very close to completion!!!!!

As for our server capabilitites, again, there is someone better suited to answer that. I don't foresee traffic being a problem. From the GR homepage:

Our connection to the world
The main datacenter is located in the Chicago Board of Trading Building. It is one of the world’s largest financial institutions, and is fully redundant in its power supply, communications, and other amenities that include elaborate security and surveillance systems.

The Chicago board of trade has a built-in infrastructure of fiber optic raisers throughout its building which ensures easy delivery of any of many ISPs that are present in the building.

Our connection:
1 Gbit Port
Unmetered Transfer

We can host 3,000 players at once with no lag.





Very prudent! I did the exact same thing
