Just bought SWG Total Experience. Questions.Follow

#1 Jun 03 2005 at 6:42 PM Rating: Decent
Have ordered SWG The Total Experience from EBGames.com as I'm in Australia and SWG was and never will be released here for some stupid unknown reason.

Some questions, while I wait for it to arrive -

1. What servers have a lot of Australian players?
2. Is there a website/FAQ/whatever that lists all the planets? I know there is Naboo, Kashykk and Tattooine but that's all I do know. Can we go to Coruscant? Mustafar? Utapau? Alderaan? Dagobah? etc
3. Which servers have decent economies/population levels? I don't want to get stuck on a backwater server with no one to quest with and no way of being able to upgrade armour and the like regularly.
4. Since I didn't download the Rage of the Wookies expansion pack, can I still get the BARC Speeder and Veractyl and if so, how?
5. Do characters from the OT/PT feature? Luke? Leia? Vader? Yoda? etc. Please tell me in a non-spoiler way, thanks!
6. Does the race you choose restrict your professions? IE If I'm a Wookie, can I still be a Jedi? :) (and yes yes, I know there are too many Jedi, this is just an example)
7. Does SWG:Total Experience come with printed maps? What exactly do you get in the box?
8. Are there any websites with useful maps/reference notes for the game?
9. With lightsabers, can we customise their colour, elect to have ones with twin blades and/or curved handles, shorter ones if we're a short character, etc?
10. When on smuggling missions, do you risk Imperial troops boarding your ship to search it or other secondary dangers or is it just a case of getting the mission, going to where the object is, taking it and then going to whatever character and planet you're asked to for delivery?
11. Is the music in the game a remix of the score from IV-VI or is there music from I-III and/or new music?

and last but not least...

12. How do I get to Stranglethorn Vale? Bantha? (J/K!)

Heh. Thanks guys.

Allakhazam has a list of planets at http://swg.allakhazam.com/db/planets.html

Due to your location I'm not sure exactly but Chilastra is a very good server

The BARC you can buy from some one who is willing to sell it. I have seen as high as 3million for one. And ask a Creature Handler / Bio Engineer to get you a Veractyl, I think i read that they are tameable

yes, them and more you can find by doing quests

you can be anything you want to be, just somethings are better for a race than others

no, you have to print them your self. what comes in the box i believe is just the manuals and the CDs

You posted on the best one I have seen. I have sent in several maps, if alla dosnt use them I will put them on my website

They are custom to a point. the handle you wont see, they are one size, and I think i have seen a Dual blade some where, maybe wrong.

From what I have read, all you risk is getting shot down by the empire, and i think you just take it from one ship to another.

I havnt any Idea where the music comes from. It all sounds like star wars so who cares?Answers

You get a BARC speeder for buying the Total Experience I beleive.
And I heard they sell for 10 million but I cannot verify this as my account is not active right now.

Some races have bonuses for certain professions, read the race description when you create your character.

Jedi can craft single and dual bladed lightsabers. There are different handles as well but how you aquire them I do not know, never having been a jedi. I have seen pictures of them however. There are quite a few, most of the ones from the movies and a couple of others. But you can't really see them when a jedi is using them as they are very small and their hand covers most of it up.

In order for you to become a jedi you have to do many quests, first to get glowy, then in the village to unlock 6 branches in force sensative, then fill the boxes in the branches with millions of experience then do the padawan quest and your a padawan. This will take months of dedicated game play. Then you are ready to start. You will be able to craft your first lightsaber, which sucks, and use it to kill things to get millions and millions more experience to advance as a jedi. And don't forget about the bounty hunters who will kill you causing you to loose (I think) 500,000 xp each time you die.

So the road to a jedi is a long and hard one, just to get a fancy glowstick. If that's your thing go for it but I suggest you check out everything else this game has to offer.

Didn't mean to get into an anti jedi rant, I don't mind the jedi I just don't think it's worth it to become one.

Barcs are worth over 5 million try not get conned.
Their are different Generations of lightsabers yes their is a curved one like Count Dookus and a simular desighn too Anakin Skywalkers and so on.
You can just press Cntrl+V too come up with the planet map your on.
1 thing if your a wookie don't restrict professions but you can't wear a lot of types of armor.
