Do you still have the install of it? Theres a page on the SWGEmu website that tells you all you need to do. swgemu.com. Its in Alpha right now, they finally got to a mildly stable build in june, there is a cap on the number of players on their main server, while TC Nova is usually being worked on constantly.

The installer basically copies off your /swg folder to another one and patches it with files that make it compatible with the SWGEmu servers. The code is fully open source and can be found here: https://www.assembla.com/spaces/swgemu/wiki

You need to register on their website, which will be the login used to log in to the game both on their test server and main server.

and yes, its free entirely. You just need a valid install of SWG. Be it old discs, or digital download from SOE.

Been in alpha for years and years, even back to when all there was to do was play freeze tag at anchorhead. They even started over from scratch once they realized it was too broken to fix. Yes and soon™ has been around for years and years as well, but still far from.

They had the old code base running last year, last I was around. Most of it was broken, they have a list of what's working and what's not in the forums sticky (mostly not). The new code base is still being worked on, at least last I saw it was far behind the old code base. The new code base was suppose to make development go faster, but didn't seem to hold up to it's promises. It's far more about test than play, or if you are heavy into RP. If you are fine with limitations and not worried about progress, than may work for you. Someday....

A fair bit, last I checked. Most of the professions and advanced professions are in, many mechanics are still missing (dots, space, housing that persists between server reboots, etc) but are being actively fixed.

Do you think it will ever be completly up ad running? i mean SWG is a big game... 0.0
in all honesty SWTOR shouldve taken a leaf from SWG book. well except the disasterous NGE of course :)

And if you log in, just try to look past the complete and utter asshats populating the server, as is typical with most EMU's. Was a good community in the beginning... ah well. They even promoted some to mods/gm's for a time, it was absurd... though most removed after they realized that wouldn't work. But when NGE closed, that's when it really got sick, huge influx of sticky sweet carebears crying for NGE crap over the pre-CU design... and the EMU-devs actually contemplating it.

Yeah I played from around launch until a month after NGE (when my sub ticked down after NGE launch). The EMU is suppose to be a pre-CU server development, TEF and all. I'm not sure if that changed or not, but sure sounded like it was going to. SWG pre-cu was the best mmo ever made. Pre-nge was ok. NGE on wasn't worth squat. EVE took the place of my SWG sub.
