SW:Galaxies - Boards.ie Need YOU!

    It's drawing closer, and closer. Soon, the upcoming MORPG of the Age will be upon us. Star Wars Galaxies - an Empire Divided. What are you going to do until it's release? Buy an apartment across from Game until the pre-order is released? Try to bribe your way into LucasArts and get in on the action? Perhaps cry in your bedroom until your mother invents a time-machine? Well, shrug all of these mildly nerdy ideas off your shoulders!

    Because instead, we could be planning a Boards.ie clan! I've been looking at the FAQ recently, and with a skill system of 700 skill trees and growing, a group of Irish players running a local shop on Corellia just won't do. I say we bunch together, every boards.ie player into one giant gang. We can have a front, whether that be a local diner, or a small capital scale ship, or whatever.. At any rate, if we all manage to get our characters sorted from the launch, by no time we'll be running smoothly.

    Why? you ask? Well, very simple.. While there may be other large gangs patrolling the SW: Galaxy world that may match us easily, it doesn't mean your average hard-core player will. The more people in a gang, with the more jobs means the more easier it is for us to advance.

    Say Monty decides to be a fat Rodian resturant owner, and we decide to use his resturant as a front, it would mean he can give us free food, which means free health. We can give him money, which means he can better his skills which means more health. In return, we're obviously protection. The cycle never finishes. Say Hobbes decides to be a weapon smith, and he needs money to advance his skills.. You guessed it, we give, we get free weapon-healing.

    The scheme is simple, while most of us will probably want to be thugs, goons, bounty hunters (which I hear is very hard to be/get. Which is a good thing) and assassins, we'll need to spread out allot, from everything from chefs, to song-writers, to ship engineers to pilots (very important should we get into the spice trade).

    First thing we need is a decend half-assed leader. I mod will be a good idea, because everyone knows a mod. Then we can sort out who wants to be what.. Maybe like, everyone posts up here what they want to be. If there turns out to be one too many thugs, then we can ask someone to be the next best thing, or something to that degree. ;)

    This is just an idea, seeing as allot of Boards.ie people have been wanting to play this game for a while, I see no problem with making a clan of some sort. The bigger the better. And remember, who cares if 'There's someone in that clan I don't like!'. Put up, or shut up. ;)

    Post your ideas up here. Also, I'd like to hear from someone wanting to lead this gang of scumbags.

    -DA-

    P.S: If someone has posted something similar to this, sorry. Either way, we need to get one big group of Boarders for SW:Galaxies!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,555 ✭✭✭Wook

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    Your ideas are intriguing and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

    The game is out Q1 of next year (Feb. ish).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,136 ✭✭✭Pugsley


    I might join this PA of your (its what SW:G calls clans/guilds if you dont know :)) but i think you would get more MMORPG'ers on the RPG boards, maybe post up a link on there just to show them the idea :)

    Dunno what i'll be yet, droid engineer sounds like fun, but if the force happens to come along ill follow that instead......... that means droid engy :)

    do you really want to end up using tinfoil light sabers in a fight?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,277 ✭✭✭DiscoStu


    i bent my wookie


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,148 ✭✭✭Ronan|Raven


    Sounds Good, Would be interesting to say the least.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 897 ✭✭✭Greenbean


    Mechanic, banker, second hand car dealer.. all sound good to me - lets hope the game isn't a pile of drivel.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,308 ✭✭✭✭.ak


    As, it's pay-per-play. And the only goddamned game I'm gonna pay for aftering buying it. ;)

    And that's a damned good idea, Pugs.

    Also, I hear you can put up more then just 'fronts'. If we were a large scale gang, with one or more diners, cantinas, dance clubs, whatever.. each one can be used as a front for our gang - However, even with that going, we can all be apart of one big Front.. Like, security services, or mercenaries (The B-Team!), or anything. Keep that in mind. Mercs are the best, it allows us all to go off and do our own thing while at the same time band together.

    And with enough people, GMs/city Mayors will build customized bases if we have the money. And if we don't, we can intimidate them into doing it. Just some of the fun stuff gangs can pull off. ;)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,308 ✭✭✭✭.ak


    I think I'm either gonna be a Zebrak Bounty Hunter, a Rodian Scumbag/bodyguard (complete with kappa tracksuit. Allriiii!11), or a Bothan Spy/assassin.. Or maybe a human pilot. But that'll be used sooo much.

    Also, did I mention there's 700 skills and growing? You can be ANYTHING. ;)

    -DA-


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,738 ✭✭✭Barry Aldwell


    I (and possibly others, I shall spread the word) shall join this group, if only for the threat of "You mess with me and you're messing with boards.ie."

    I'll probably start leaning towards guns/blasters, hopefully to become an assassin. Then I can put all my experience points towards the other prerequisites for bounty hunter while having a serious job.

    On the subject of having a large clan, if we have enough people we could start our own city on a planet, and elect our own representatives. This would also allow us to build defences, such as laser cannons, walls and minefields.

    Yes. And we could call it.. United States of Spam! ... or not. But you get the idea. With enough people, you can do ANYTHING. You can even declare your own laws in such a state. And pass off votes. 'All Boards.ie players must look like Jawas on sunday nights.' Yeh, and ****.

    We could even create a senate, and have our dictator ignore them and invade a neighbouring, smaller city!


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 15,001 ✭✭✭✭Pepe LeFrits


    The nerdyness is strong in this one!

    /me runs off


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,020 ✭✭✭Ry


    Absolutely up for this. Since news of the game hit my brain I immediately wanted there to be a uniting of players from Boards and Fortress etc.

    I am gonna be a bounty hunter / General Toughguy who can hold his own.

    If we did all gang together less people would mess with us and we could also help eachother to better ourselves as DA was saying. Being such a large number in boards and on IRC if we did all band together I think we could become quite a force to be reckoned with if we all stuck at it and built ourselves up.

    Well this is just my two cents but as far as I'm concerned I'm in!

    And build a clone army???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,738 ✭✭✭Barry Aldwell


    I don't think you can create clones, but you can command a squad of stormtroopers if you become a squad leader for the Empire. A bounty hunter with a personal stormtrooper squad, that's what I wanna be.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 103 ✭✭Andor


    I don't think you can create clones

    we can all pretend to be clones!:p




    hmmm, if i can afford the whole 'pay per play' thingy and ADSL rollout in my area actually starts to happen i'ld be up for it.

    bags a thug!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,481 ✭✭✭satchmo


    Excellent, I'm in. I'm gonna be a slicer, get you all free holonet access (even the donkey pr0n channels) :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,555 ✭✭✭Wook


    can the two forces work together in this game?
    sounds a bit weird to me, or we go for imperial forces or the 'pesky' 'little' 'annoying' federation...

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    If everyone picked evil stormtroopers we would start with guns :D

    Then we latch onto another group (boards.co.uk) and cause controversy when we kill our brotherhood group and start running amok tru the galaxy basically being bullies going for the small towns recruiting and pillaging and so forth.

    If George Lucas doesnt ban us we can rule the world :D

    MUHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,745 ✭✭✭swiss


    Sounds interesting.

    [muse]
    Don't yet know what profession I would take. Slicer sounds nerdy enough, but I'd actually prefer to be out in space, so I'd either be an arms smuggler (ye get all the cool stuff ;) ) or else a spy.
    [/muse]

    I wholeheartedly endorse setting up our own base and having a communal defence. I suggest we keep the location seekrit to help stop our enemies (and there will be a lot of them :D) from finding us. In the meantime we could even build up a little armada if we get enough resources together.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,718 ✭✭✭Matt Simis


    Count me in too. Im leaning towards Creature Handler or maybe Droid Engineer...

    I would also like to cast my vote for playing as either Criminals or Imps. We dont want morales getting in the way of domination!

  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    If you get this off the ground you can count on public and/or private boards from us.

    I'm probably going to play as well. I'm going to be Darth Vader :)

    DeV.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,643 ✭✭✭Jak


    I'm gonna be a checkout assistant.

    Can't wait.


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 15,001 ✭✭✭✭Pepe LeFrits


    Can I be the Death Star? Failing that, Can I be Captain Picard? Plz?

    Hands off dev, the creatures be mine. Grrrrr....

    I'll trap some lizards, and sell them to people.

    Either that or start up a club, and be an entertainer. I can dance, I swear.

    Yes, there shall be cake.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    I wish I could play the game, I'd love to play a game that had trapped creatures and cake served in a bar.

    I like your way of thinking.... :)

    We kinda need a name for this PA tho (that is if we get enough :))


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,894 ✭✭✭Mr. Fancypants


    sounds like good fun. Once it is playable over 56k, count me in!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,980 ✭✭✭meglome


    we've been planning a dnc clan for 6 months now. Although it would be nice to actually have the game at some point. You can count the dnc lads in.
