Auto-registration on the server is enabled again as well so you can log right in once you've downloaded our client side patch. Bear in mind we are getting ready for a new patch on Friday, there will be a new installer released with further client side updates on friday.

Im in as Ahdinko, if you can verify me please :)

You guys really should at least fix the thing that says "You'll get a verification email in a minute" to at least say "go email this address to get in". Your server sounds really cool but the lack of numbers is a bit of a worry, and I can see why you've got a lack of numbers (its the auth system)
Also you seem to have less rights as a registered, unverified user, than you do as a guest? Like you can't even view the forum once you've registered

I wonder if we can get the guild running again on the Bloodfin server? Sounds like people might stick around for longer if they have more to do. Also yesssss Jedi!

Edit: The bloodfin forums don't really say much about where you're going with the server and the end goal. Whats the plans for Bloodfin? Would we ever see stuff like JTL because SWG with Jedi and JTL would be like the perfect recreation ever for me

Per Drone's Request. Here is a selection of Screenshots of some of the lovely pixels you can acquire on Bloodfin.

Working Jedi and FRS System


Enhanced Player Bounty System

Bounties, they aren't just for Jedi anymore. Any player deathblown by another in PvP is given the ability to be a sniveling little toad and place a bounty on the head of the person who killed him. Fun for all involved.

NGE Era Housing



Available new structures include:
  • Mustafarian Bunker
  • Sith Meditation Room
  • Jedi Meditation Room
  • Yoda's House
  • AT-AT House
  • Hangar
  • Garage
  • Bespin Cloud House
  • Windowed Houses
  • Bath House
  • & More

NGE Era Speeders / Pod Racers

Available new vehicles include:
  • Barc Speeder
  • Imperial Command BARC
  • Rebel Command BARC
  • Desert Skiff
  • Lava Skiff
  • v35 Landspeeder
  • xp38 Landspeeder
  • ab1 Landspeeder
  • Several Pod Racer Models

New Loot

- A very wide variety of new loot items are available in both new content dungeons, and in the new Planets.

New Planets




A first for any SWG Emulator, two new custom planets built from the ground up. Well, one of them anyway. Hoth is based on taanab which was in the client files since beta. Dromund Kaas however is completely built from the ground up through the painstaking efforts of myself and a few small contributions from within the SWG modding community.

Both planets are packed to the brim with new content, loot, things to kill, stuff to do.


How do I play?
First, have a "legally" obtained copy of Star Wars Galaxies.
Second, download the latest Bloodfin Installer: This adds the necessary client side files which contain all of the new content available only on the Bloodfin Emu Server. You can download that here: http://www.bloodfin.net/BloodfinEMU_Setup.exe

There is one thing that will sell me on Bloodfin Emu.

Please tell me you've got the cosmetic item system worked in that I heard NGE had. Something similar to LOTRO or a lot of other modern MMOs where you can have one set of clothing/armor equipped, but display another set of clothing/armor on your character.

Running around in composite armor (with everyone else wearing composite armor) is boring as hell. I'm a master tailor on SWGEmu and like making my spacemen look like pretty princesses.

Man I wish. Appearance Tab was one of the best things they implemented in the NGE. Unfortunately this would require editing the client executable itself and that is just not possible to do.

We are however balancing out armor so comp armor isn't the only thing everyone wears. We don't care if Comp armor was #1 in a vanilla pre-cu setting. We don't want vanilla pre-cu. We want fixed pre-cu, and thats what we're doin. Fixing all the stuff we hate about it and making it better.

Just download the patches from the links I provided above and you will be able to get in game. Registration for the bloodfin.net forum is completely unnecessary and requires you to wait for a fat pubbie bitch to approve your access just to look around that forum. Anything pertinent to bloodfin you can just as easily find out in this thread.

Two tips for the wise:
1. Buy an AK-97 assault rifle.
2. If there's someone hanging around your neighborhood you don't know, shoot him.
On the subject of the Appearance tab, couldn't a new radial option to be added to wearables called something like "Equip Appearance"? And then some sort of option to toggle the paper doll in the inventory window to show either the "real" equipment or the appearance stuff? I'm not sure how much flexibility to modify the interface there is, but I'd assume that everything appearance-related would be server-side and you'd just need to finagle the interface to deal with it.

How many online on average per day? SWGEmu averages 1.6-2k (well it did) and frankly, it's a fairly busy server. I'll give bloodfin a shot if it actually has a decent population.

I've been playing for a couple of hours now on Bloodfin. It does feel quieter than Basilisk, and the ingame market reflects that (Right now im having difficulty finding a food and chemical crafting tool)
But already from being in game for a few hours I can see that it is much more complete than SWGemu. The NGE housing and vehicles are cool, I see droids for sale which apparently work in Bloodfin, as does Creature Handling. Stuff like Jedi, functioning bounty hunting, extra planets and the other dungeons being in game give you a lot more to do too.

The only thing I could say isn't an improvement over the pre-cu swg/swgemu is the 4x xp, I'm already novice rifleman after a dozen missions and for me it cheapens the feel, but that's just horses for courses I guess.

Also:

Now that they have auto-registration working, I can see Bloodfin server being the more popular server when JTL arrives as it almost adds a second game into SWG.

I feel you on the 4x XP. I'd like to see it normalized, but I am overruled on that by my pubbie colleagues on the dev team here.

As for the availability of goods, dedicated crafters is definitely something the server has been lacking unfortunately

You dont need to register on the site at all unless you want to read through the bloodfin pubbie forums. Just download the installers, and autoregistration on the server is enabled (limited to one account per IP), the forum account is separate from the account on the server, despite what it might say on the bloodfin.net forum.

I'll probably give it a shot at some point. Despite SWGemu having a lot of bots, it does make life easier getting buffs etc. A big factor for me also is the economy. It's huge on Emu and its a booming one.

Can I get a few price comparisons if someone isn't busy?

650 DMG Power Hammer
4 piece comp mini suit
A set of doc buffs. Are ent/doc buffs frequent?
A +10 2H speed clothing tape or price per point.
1 Swoop
1 server best BER heavy mineral miner.
A +10 survey clothing attachment or price per point.

Are there many cities and are they ghost towns?
Is it Jedi online?
