thats right... now you can play the amazing SWG MMORPG for FREE, over 14 days IF you can be bothered to download 2 gigabites. this has been out for a while to subscribers, but it just went public today.

www.fileplanet.com

PLUS there are no wait times as there is a dedicated server set up JUST for SWG downloads, and seeing as only 44 people are stupid enough to try and DL 2 gig, theres loads of spaces on the server.

I didn't really like the beta, so I won't DL this one.

If it was Star wars galaxies with some actualy combat like in a FPS then I might consider it.

But since all you seem to do is wonder about doing feck all.... I really cant be arsed. :)

OMG UL!!! i was 1 min away from a DL once, and i clicked a link, but it opened in the ****ING FILEPLANET DL WINDOW and i had to start again...

but just to let you know, if something like that happens during the download (not the wait) you can usually pick up from where you left off if you start the DL at the same place as where the file is.

I played SWG for seven months, even unlocked my jedi slot. So heed my warning when I say:

You will meet some of the dumbest people on earth. Especially on the Bria server, if there are any Brians in here reading this: may you all burn for eternity in the infernal depths of hell you bastards!

SWG is mediocre at best and tedious at worst, don't waste your time getting it.

but it is FREEEEE and i have never played an MMORPG EVER and i WANT IT ;(

Hell no- I won't waste my bandwith for that crap:

Hypothesis: The game is shit

Procedure:
1. Spend 3 hours waiting in line at FilePlanet.
2. Spend 6 hours downloading it.
3. Spend 10 minutes installing
4. Play for 20 minutes if it is bugless
5. Uninstall for 10 minutes

Conclusion: See hypothesis.

:dork:

FilePlanet crashed when I was 42 seconds away from getting a Tribes1 :( I had to wait till the next day to have enough time.

This is bullshit.. i hate firefox, i had the download on 25% and i shut down all firefox windows and then THE FREAKING DOWNLOAD CANCELLED ;( ;( ;(

Now I've got 102 minutes of queue-waiting until I can get it again.. grr

04-06-2004, 02:35 AM
started at a 263 minute wait lol


I don't really like MMORPG's but I've never played one before. So I figured I might as well go ahead and try it out.

CrazyHarij
04-06-2004, 02:37 AM
I was really serious on buying it a couple of months ago, but then I decided not to, since I got so many different views on the game.. Some people say it's the best MMORPG ever, while some others say it sucks, etc etc..

This is a great opportunity to try it out, simple as that

10 minutes left on waiting queue.. oh god fileplanet must die

Gunner
04-06-2004, 02:38 AM
If anyone wants any advice feel free to ask - I still remember which combat template was the most uber.

CrazyHarij
04-06-2004, 02:43 AM
I'm probably going to join Chimaera, since its the biggest european server and all.

Jmechy
04-06-2004, 02:56 AM
at least when you get to the front of the line, you know it'll go fast. I got it with an average 1 MB/s. yes, thats a B, not a b...

Pitbul
04-06-2004, 03:48 AM
i got it in 4 hours, including waiting times. haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but i loke KOTOR, and star wars RPG's so i'll see soon.

CrazyHarij
04-06-2004, 03:55 AM
By the looks of it I'm going to get it in ****ing 21 hours ;(

Im expecting to see a bunch of people in the next few days that are happy they didnt buy this game....(I made the mistake....sniff .. sniff...even after reading the reviews saying it was horrible)

This Game Sucks

i managed to download it last night, no fuss. left it in the queue while i was revising, went in for my exam this morning, came back and it was done :)

suicide42, if you ever get it to work tell me what server you go on and what your name is...and anyone else who's gonna play.

i won't be able to give it a spin until tuesday :/

Sui
04-06-2004, 07:27 PM
I DLed it sucessfully, and it waas worth the wait (i got it overnight @ 70 kb/s) as it is the WHOLE GAME. the only limitations are that you cant get more than 50,000 credits, but seeing as thats loads i dont care.

my name is (first name) Suicide (second name) forty - two.
i am on the europe-infinity server (or something).

hope to see you there!!!

btw i just met a jedi in the first hour of play... i have to say he was bloody amazing! he was killking monsters in a few hits... i said "hi" and he talked bacK!! he was like a celeberity!! its so cool!!! I MET A JEDI :p (by the way there are hardly any jedis, theyrre so hard to come by, just if your wondering what the fuss is about)

Gunner
04-06-2004, 08:38 PM
Haha! That's because you just played for one day, trust me almost everyone has a jedi alt - at least on the american servers. And do not be impressed by them, they're weaker than a novice pikeman!

Can you start subscribing on the game directly on the thing when the trial is over, or do you have to go buy the game in stores?

Epyon
04-06-2004, 09:35 PM
you have to buy the game in stores. 50 dollars for the game, 15 dollars a month.

Oh, and i was wondering, how come everyone hated this game ,was it becuase it was the buggest game ever when it came out? or was it becuase the gameplay and such just sucked.

Gunner
04-06-2004, 09:48 PM
I Hated it for the Group TEF, for the idiots that played the game, for the bugs, for the meaningless themeparks, the combat medics that ruined everything, the credit dupers who screwed the economy, the speedhackers, the bugs, the jerky performance, the worthless jedi profession, the krayt pearls campers, the uber guilds drama queens, the bugs, the corvette, the geno caves, the non-existant loot, the bugs, and the "flavor of the month" template riflemen/tera kasi/fencers... There are two things I really liked in this: my guild friends, and the housing system. I spent a lot of time on my house to decorate it just the way I wanted it :E

you can download and start playing straight away. no need to buy it in the shops.

hope to see some of you guys in the SWG trial soon ;)

CrazyHarij
05-06-2004, 12:19 AM
Well, same thing with Anarchy Online but that doesn't make the game good..

I tried the trial of EVE out, the game isn't really that appealing to me though.. graphics are good and such but it's hard finding out anything about the game in 3 days

Sui
05-06-2004, 02:33 AM
ive played it for ages, and ive finally got off tatooine (im playing it with a mate and were talking over microphone as well, makes it more fun). TBH, the games great and all, but playing it for more than 2 weeks could get REALLY boring. im allready starting to get bored after 5 hours or so... i guess ill have to wait and se eif it gets better if i chenge more planets.

I can't install the game.. it says it has to open a browser and get me some key or something, but when the browser opens nothing happens (I'm using firefox btw), and the install sort of crashes but you cant shut it down.. :(

And yes, I'm logged in to Fileplanet, I don't see why it doesn't work..

I've notice that fileplanet has a few issues with firefox. That might be your problem.

but it is FREEEEE and i have never played an MMORPG EVER and i WANT IT ;(

Far from free...you'll still need a credit card to play it, but you probably already have it and probably already know that? :p

MMORPG's are'nt bad...people auto think "****in 'ell man i godda pay to play a game which i already bought, man this is shit" but they are well worth the cash...i play Neocron (http://www.neocron.com) and it pwns and is a fps MMORPG more or less...has by far the best pvp ive ever tried, better than most FPS games id say because it takes skill and there is no set damage done to you...you have your own resists and its upto you what you do with them. If you have patience you should try this one out as well. :D

Edit/ Just incase anyone does try this game, if you get stuck with patches not patching properly be sure to PM me or something here..its a simple problem that the god damn dev's dont fix and im sure most people dont even try the game because of it....Also i play Uranus and Saturn server if you need any help (bare in mind, im much better off on uranus financially :P )
