Star Wars Galaxies private servers are not a good experience. They don't allow two players from the same IP, so if you live with someone you want to play with you have to tell them, then send them pictures of BOTH copies of the discs and you and the other person's hands. They hide behind "preventing gold farmers" but like, who is actually going to be a gold farmer in a private server, and who actually cares if they did? The other 25 players in the server?

Nah, I'm good.

City of Heroes has been golden by comparison.

Oh wow, I haven’t played that in forever… If the community up and running? What’s the update at, are we talking early days, Fire/Fire Defender or different builds altogether? Not even sure where my discs are in the garage. 🤔

This is the webpage for the project. It will have everything you want to know, and if you can't find it there or the forums, there is also a wiki.

Awesome, thanks. I never would’ve expected it was so simple. 😅

Tell me of these PSO private servers you speak of.

[–] RustyShackleford@literature.cafe 5 points 2 months ago

Can’t say there is one, at least not yet. The talks for PSO2.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately PSU, as all my friends veto'd me for PSO first. But PSOBB is next, and hopefully by then Team Clementine will have released their PSO2 Original.

[–] RustyShackleford@literature.cafe 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You’re lucky to have friends into the same stuff, I couldn’t pay my friends to play an MMO. I got one girlfriend too, but she didn’t like how much I played. I never got to play BB, what’s it like? And PSO2 was my favorite, the memories… A chance to get back into that, dare I say, it almost felt perfect somehow.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Keep an eye on Team Clementine, they'll launch it eventually. Blue Burst is just PSO with extra content at the end game. Pretty fun theres some private servers that show up first hit with a web search.

[–] RustyShackleford@literature.cafe 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh sweet, guess I’ll did around and look at the BB servers. Any recommendations?

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Unfortunately not, I have yet to truly delve into that myself and I plan on self hosting a BB server.
