http://steamcommunity.com/id/rhaz - can someone invite to mantina?

I played for quite a while last year, when GoonTown was just a baby town getting set up. In game name is Rhazau. Full rifleman! Might start a new character though.

How long does it generally take for Basilisk to crash? I deleted my character forgetting that I can't use the same name until it happens.

There are 5-10 active people in chat, Goontown runs fairly smoothly.. dunno how active people are in game though. Pub5 has been kinda slow.

Does anyone have (or is) the hookup for cheap minerals, steel and copper specifically. Undercutting the swoop market and has worked good so far for some quick space creds.

Market is pretty cheap for it. 0.6 CPU is the usual price. You're better off mining it though. Undercutting from buying mats is pretty dumb.

I know people generally are out and about more in the summer, but coming back to the game for the first time in weeks, it seems a bit quieter. Active user numbers are down, and the Coronet bazaar is not quite as busy as it used to be. Goontown is still looking strong.

Tai

They banned add spamming to once every two minutes or something so probably feels quieter. Population is down by only around 5% or so according to their player counter.

I didn't mean to say it was a huge decline. It's a little bit lower is all, going by the bazaar mainly. That might just be a measure of how newbie players are playing without merchant alts.

The Iron Hands weren't loyalists. The Ultramarines, noted for their tricks and deceptions, planted an agent within their ranks claiming to be their long lost Primarch, Ferrus Manus. Thus, the Iron Hands readily turned to Chaos and joined Horus' ranks, all to cover for the Ultramarines' own heresies.

If you are ever in the market for something a little different SWG wise, check out Bloodfin Emu at https://www.bloodfin.net its another Emu server with a smaller but growing community of pubbies begging to be abused played with.

They have some unique alterations that are not and will not be available on Basilisk, such as NGE era houses, new speeders, new content, Jedi and an active Force Ranking System, an extended Player Bounty System that allows anyone to place a bounty on anyone regardless of their profession.

I've been poking around on it for the past few months and it really isn't too shabby.

It seems like the goon guild might be dead (if it's not I'd be interested) but my friend and I just downloaded this and played for awhile. I'm a Mon Calamari Marksman named Nasreddin Hodja if anyone wants to hook up, my buddy and I could use some help figuring out exactly what to do. We've just been grinding missions and stuff, he wants to be a bounty hunter and I'm interested in the scout and medic tree. I'm really liking the vibrant community and player world so far, it's actually a lot of fun having to interact with other players to get wounds healed and stuff., though it seems kinda hard to break into the economy at low levels cus we're so broke.

Those looking to join need to actually come into the steam group chat in the op and actually stick around. Though, I will warn you now that all you will find is a jaded skeleton crew keeping the town's bots running and little else.

So I've spent the past couple days getting into this game (that money really, really helped)and I have to say I'm weirdly addicted. I'm most of the way through Rifles IV, working on the 3rd level of Medic Crafting Exp, and I'm like 2x22 on scout skills. I think ultimately I want to be a combat medic. I'm also making a little extra cash selling stimpak ingredients and stuff on the bazaar, so I'm starting to get a rudimentary understanding of the economy. It's really interesting how few NPCs there are are - no vendors, no doctors, etc, just player driven interaction. Really neat coming from theme park MMOs to a genuine sandbox.

Anyway, how do I level my actual healing abilities? Healdamage, tenddamaage, etc. I do a painfully small amount of healing and I can't heal mind wounds yet (though I have action wound stimpaks) and it doesn't seem to do much to impact the ~400 wounds I have coming back from a good long mission run. I've been using them on my friend whenever he gets wounded since we're doing everything together but it's still very slow going. I feel like I'm probably missing something obvious, like making an alt and wounding him and healing him for awhile, or something.

Also re: the Goon Guild, I really appreciate that cash injection and goontown seems pretty active, but the guild is feeling super dead. I might drop it and join one of the pretty active noob guilds on Tatooine, but I'm not sure about that. Just thought I'd say something so it didn't look like I took your cash and quit the game because I absolutely intend to keep playing but it seems like an active group is more important in SWG than other MMOs.

also there was some prtty funny consternation last night because someone kept pulling huge packs of krayt dragons into the mos eisley med center

So I'm still trucking along in this game working on Rifleman/CM4004/Doc and things are really getting better, mission-grinding wise, now that I've got a 75k grinding spraystick and Startling Shot 2. I can group dps every wave of huurtons on dantooine in the time it used to take me to kill 1-2, which owns. I also built a house outside Fanfar with my buddy and we've been taking advantage of their buffs/doctors. We were contemplating joining <FLO> (I left GS in search of more active pastures but I've had no luck) but they have a super lame application process full of dorky questions so if GS becomes a little more active my buddy and will definitely join in.

Anyway, how do I grind medic? In all the time I've been playing all my healing has learned me First Aid I and that's it. If I want MM I definitely need a better way to get through those healing exp boxes.

Go to Coronet or Theed, in the cantinas there are going to be leveling ents who will appreciate (or not if they're AFK) their action bars being full. Failing that, or maybe first, check the medical centers. Sometimes you're lucky and find an entertainer action grinding. I usually tipped them in the hopes they find it a profitable side venture and stick around. You're going to have a bad time it you have to compete with other leveling Medics. Generally the med center entertainers are tailored to doctors or CM with their larger action bars.

I wish I had more interest in the emu, but I just couldn't be bothered to stick around. Have we lost our 24/7 buff bots?

We're not dead yet, we still have at least one squad leader, entertainer, and buff doctor on duty. But even so, clearly the interest is gone, no one is coming to help us run like we used to. Hell, even traffic seems to be kinda low, probably because people know we can't really keep a second group together anymore.

This supposed rumor of pub6 happening may spark something up again, because to be honest pub5 really was kind of a disappointment.

What is there to keep interest in? SWGEmu replicates Pre-CU in its pure form which in essence is a game with literally nothing to do. No content to devour other than go to the DWB (always camped), go to the Geo Cave for Acklay Bones (always camped), go to the Krayt Graveyard to farm pearls and tissues (Always Camped).

This is why I develop for Bloodfin Emu. We get it that Pre-CU is a boring pile of garbage that gets old in literally a month tops.

Bloodfin has:
- Balanced Pre-CU Combat Professions
- Working Jedi Unlock system and Force Ranking System
- Custom created content dungeons
- NGE Houses, Speeders

Within a week of this post we'll be releasing two entirely new planets filled with things to do and tons of new loot to grab. Give it a try, our server doesn't have the same numbers logged in as basilisk, but then most of the people on basilisk are running bots anyway. We maintain an average of 300-400 people on during our peak hours, and it remains pretty steady 24 hours a day.

Create an account at https://www.bloodfin.net give us a try. If you see me on in game as Levarris, hit me up and I'll gladly throw you a "welcome kit" just be sure to point out you are from SA or I will most likely ignore you.

Botting, is not allowed with the exception of ents and doctors for buff purposes. Multiboxing, we don't care. And yes thats unique IPs connected.

It's not perfect, but it's in place because we have been getting spammed account creations from angry people at SWGEmu.

What I can and will do for everyone from SA.

PM me if you want an account with an account name / pw you want to use. I will have it created for you personally as soon as I see the PM. This way you can circumvent the emailing etc.
