If There Was a book on how to bork an MMO, Star Wars Galaxies would be the prime case study. In the space of two years it went from being the most eagerly awaited game of its time, to one that saw players leave in the thousands.

Sony Online Entertainment got the development gig for Star Wars Galaxies on the back of the success of Everquest. During the three-year build up to its release, canny marketing saw 400,000 joining Galaxies' online community before the game was released.
Simon Jeffery - then the president of LucasArts - saw this player involvement as being vital: 'We firmly believe that consistent and open communication with fans will be one of the keys to the success of the Star Wars Galaxies experience.' So when An Empire Divided- Galaxies' core game - was launched, expectations were sky high. But when they logged on for the first time, players were landed with a confused mess.
The default one is usually “C: Program Files (86) Steam steamapps common Star Wars – The Old Republic“. Start downloading SWTOR. The next step is the longest – wait for the game to be fully downloaded and installed. The download speed may vary depending on your internet connection and the server stability and load. On one hand, the ground upon which Star Wars MMOs had been planted was fairly thoroughly salted by games like Star Wars Galaxies.

A New Goof
There was no doubt that An Empire Divided had its fine points. For its time, it was a beautiful game, including accurate recreations of iconic locations like towers of Naboo and Jabba the Hutt's Palace. And one of the most praised aspects of the game was character generation. By allowing players to take skills from any of six core professions, follow 24 specialist careers, and develop a highly customisable avatar, each player was assured their character was unique.
Interestingly, one of the professions had nothing to do with combat Artisans were entertainers or created items -anything from ray guns to buildings -that could be sold to other players, and so could earn experience as professional traders, builders, dancers or musicians. While this was innovative, it wasn't Star Wars. It was dull. This was one of the things SOE aimed to change with the Combat Upgrade.
On the 27 April, 2005 players found fighting in the game had been radically altered: grouping became important-combat levels were no longer an underlying mechanic; and powers, weapons, armor and buffs were all rebalanced. The result - an improved system that encouraged team play - was controversial amongst players, and thousands cancelled their subscriptions, believing Galaxies had changed from a unique game to a clone of other MMOs.
Despite this dissatisfaction, SOE didn't react to the players' concerns. And six months later they introduced the New Game Enhancements, turning Galaxies into the game it is now.The NGEs massive, sudden and unannounced overhaul of Galaxies was a fundamental shift from its origins. People who loved the original Star Wars movies because they were fairy tales with ray guns. But for all its depth and complexity, but the original Galaxies lacked soul. And Jedi (see A Plague Of Padawans'). With the NGE Galaxies regained the excitement of Star Wars, gave new players an easier way into the game, thanks to a massively simplified character generation system, and the chance to be jedi from the outset.
These changes angered old-tim players who were forced to alter their characters to fit the limited nine-class structure SOE had introduced. Again, another massive subscriber walk-out occured. This time player-created cities were emptied as entire communities left.
A Wrong Move
With the NGE, SOE planned to increase Galaxies' player base by simplifying the game. Instead they delivered a critical blow to the MMO, and tarnished their own reputation.
When SOE took over the MMO Vanguard in 2007, John Smedley - SOE's president - stated: 'We've learned a thing or two with our experiences with the NGEand don't plan on repeating mistakes from the past and not listening to the players.' An admission that SOE's attitude was the polar opposite of LucasArts' aims for the game.
Today, Galaxies is still running, but its time is limited. Despite being the only Star Wars MMO and a well-polished MMO, unofficial estimates places subscriber numbers at under 100,000, and SOE closed 12 of its 24 servers this month. It's telling the game itself is only available from a few online stores.But the real death blow will likely be The Old Republic, being made by Knights of the Old Republic developer Bio Ware.

You do not need to purchase Daemon Tools. You can use a free Opensource tool called WinCDEmu

One of the best MMORPGS like EVER! I have got an original version of the game (box) but I believe you can play from this download, as long as it have a CD ISO. HAVE FUN, because you won't ever experience game like this.

Nice one!
Foodie2020-06-02-5 points
So has anyone managed to get this to work with SWGemu? They are pretty clear on their site that you need an original disc, and I don't want to take the time to download this if I can't get it to play.

any exe that has been altered to run differently than originally intended will flag as a trojan. some mmorpg launchers have the server IP imbedded in them and even changing that can make it look suspicious to antivirus. I've run many servers for different mom's and this has happened before.
Kuthulu2019-09-232 points
so, does this download work? I'd really love to play this game, but absolutely don't want a trojan or virus. if the download has worked and doesn't have a virus, PLEASE TELL ME!!

The exe contains a Dataminer Trojan when launched. Nice try no cigar.

This zip file contains three .iso files of the game client, a text file, and lpesetup.exe. The .iso files are good, the lpesetup.exe however is an outdated version of the enhanced launcher which hasn't been updated since 2013, so I would not use that and instead download the latest launcher from swgemu.com.
1. mount disc one with a program such as daemon tools lite to start the install of the client. Eventually it will ask you to insert disc two and then disc three, when it does, just use daemon tools like to mount those discs.
2. When the client install is finished, run the latest setup.exe launcher that you downloaded from swgemu.com. There is a detailed guide on there website that steps you through this process.
3. Enjoy the game

Seems like a great game, I'll run some anti-virus scans for everyone's peace in mind.
Aghora rudra mantra. Not likely a virus2018-09-150 point
I think Kurry is assuming it's a virus because this RPG is actually an MMO. I haven't tried to run a private server of any MMO for single play use since most of the ones I want to play like Project Torque, Lego Universe or Drift City are still being reverse engineered by community members that take a lot of their free time to bring them back to life. I will try with this game though.

@Kurry Is it a virus?

I swear to the Force if this is a virus.
