Ok City of Villians first impressions. It’s not Star Wars.
I’m in mourning. Its a valid thing.
I’ll get to the City of Villians experience soon enough, don’t worry. I’m quite committed to making it work, and I have a very nice set of characters that I am levelling.
After playing SWG (Star Wars Galaxies) for long enough to get a happy Imperial Bounty Hunter/ Combat Medic lvl 80 character, plus several beautifully decorated houses, enough vehicles to become a used speeder salesman, and enough weapons to be arrested, I finally cancelled my account after the controversial and quite frankly rubbish game overhaul they put us through at the end of last year (2005)
Everyone knows what happened and there is enough crying about it on enough websites for me not to go on and on and on and on about it here. (Although I might go on a little teeny bit)
But I miss it. I miss the fighting and the fun I had healing the injured players. I miss being a momma to teams of Noobs, taking them out and showing them round and helping them get their XP. I miss the ambient way I could just drive around in the rain on Dantooine and go shopping for furniture or clothes, weapons and shiny new armor, and was in serious negotations to acquire a baby Bantha (it was soooo cute) when it all went crappy. My Bantha trader had cancelled his account. So had my weaponsmith. Along with my RP friends.
I think my tailor, the Exquisite Mexia Firesun, aka Madame Makeover, still has her boutiques there, visiting her was a truly lovely experience, especially as in the real world people who work in clothes boutiques normally ignore me whilst reading Heat magazine, let alone are able to give me advice on the stats of my armor or what to do when a Wookie is asking you to marry him, and you just know that you’ll have horrible furballs in the bed if you do.
I don’t miss the endless grind for XP, killing the Pickets (Giraffe type things) and the Bols (Dhino hybrid lumps) or the Pillocks and Bastards as we renamed them. True, it got more interesting killing Nudfers (more lumps) and Tortons (even bigger lumps) on one of the more dangerous planets, but really, it was the community that made it special.
Oh and did I mention the houses? I loved decorating the houses. Great thing to do when you can’t sleep. Now before you start thinking I would be better off playing the Sim’s, I do miss the carnage and being a loyal Imperial servant of our Glorious Leader, and I miss very much having a big gun. (Even if I was wearing an evening dress sometimes) Plus the only good thing about the Sim’s as far as I could see after playing it for a day before getting bored of it, was that you could make characters that looked like your ex partners, put them all in a house, take all the toilets and beds away, (so they have to piss on the floor and can’t sleep) give them multiple coffee machines (so they have to stay awake) and ovens, ovens, lots of ovens. Block all the doors to the house so they can’t get out, and then watch them die one by one, as the ovens caught fire.
Then they cry and cry. How you laugh.
There is a most wonderful site on how to do this and more at
http://www.theinsanedomain.com/KillingSimms/index.htm
But enough about killing your Sims. No actually, a bit more. At the end of the carnage, when the last Sim is standing, weeping over the multiple deaths of his friends in the Big Brother house, give him a set of Pink Flamingos and some balloons to cheer him up.

According to the pre-NGE and pre-CU vets that I speak to on Chimera, SWG is a lot better than it was just after the NGE. It is a different game now, but there are still communities there, if you choose the busier servers.
I am having great fun in SWG (spending about half of my time decorating my house, the mall I manage and my luxury yacht). There are some returning vets and not all stay, but some do. I think it depends how betrayed you felt after the NGE and how much resentment you harbour. Things are changing, the grind is still a pain, but you can get a free month on trial. Come back and see what you think - it is free so the only thing you have to lose it time. Only you can decide on whether it has improved.
hi hi me again,
time for an update!
ive been awol from swg for a whole year now since some of my sisters in moonshadow hog tied me and dragged me kicking and screaming to second life. I love sl so much since theirs no grind, no noob Jedi kids kicking my pert arse and an amazing amount of clothing here!

Mexia
god dam i forgot about this web site! Time for an update me thinks!
Im STILL in Second life (they wont let me leave, please call international rescue!) Im still building stuff for my uber muse and sex ninja Tara Cult and living life by mangling prims.
Last year Tara turned to me and said “Im not happy with the way the sim is i think we can do better” and i had to agree (after i stopped punching the walls that is). So we gutted it and rebuilt it from the ground up and after a soild year of work we are so close now to our vision of what the sim should be. Its been hard work with many hairs pulled (Taras) and teeth nashed (mine) but the result is good.
Come vist us at Temptress Falls (glow eastes)
Your sure of a warm welcome but bring a change of underwear and a stick (you will know why when it happens)
all the best,
Mexia
