Hi, I'm a new player to SWG. I have played some "minor" MMOGs but my life changed when I started playing in the "major league". I was ignorant MMOGs could be played outside the countries in which their servers existed, so I thought I was stuck for life with the MMOGs that came to my country (Korean crap IMO) like Priston Tale and Ragnarok. But I had fun, actually. Until I saw a relative of mine playing City of Heroes, one of the games I used to dreamed of, being a comic books fan. I was playing the trial the next morning and then a whole new world opened to me - the world of MMOGs! Though City of Heroes/City of Villains (CoX) remains my dearest one, I love experimenting, one game at a time. Among the ones I've tried (Matrix Online, Everquest I & II, Final Fantasy XI, Tabula Rasa, Dungeons & Dragons Online, Anarchy Online, Rappelz, Archlord, Sword of the New World, Fury, Exteel), I really liked World of Warcraft, Dungeon Runners, and of course, Star Wars Galaxies.


 * As for the Wikis, I always contributed to Wikipedia (which I love), Paragon Wiki (CoX's wiki) and now, to SWG Wiki. I still consider myself (and probably am) a newbie but what I can improve in the articles, I do.

My main server is Bria, which I chose after checking the official forum out, being a populated and "generic" one. I have a Bounty Hunter and a Smuggler. Though I love Jedi (and am definitely on of the good guys) I've played my share of Jedi in other games (Jedi Knight I/Dark Forces II, Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy and, of course, Knights of the Old Republic I and II). The possibility of playing a BH and hunting down players seemed too precious to not take it, though I'm not a PvPer myself. Thus, I'm playing all the way to level 90 so I can start the hunting! Her name is Ikhena Isollu, human, and she's part of Rover, the Dual Sun Brigade, based in Lok, Red Rock.
 * I also created a Smuggler because the sand-box feel of the game made me wonder how cool it'd be to smuggle stuff across the galaxy, stealing and selling it at a good price in another planet... It seemed an awesome profession. Until I started doing smuggle runs... Which led me to ask other players about smuggling and Smugglers... And then I found out it's an utterly broken profession. His name is Aedwin Iamarawg, rodian, and although he shares Ikhena's house, he's been put on the fridge (level 20) until I get Ikhena to 90, and perhaps by then the devs will have improved the Smuggler system - next glacial age, anyone?
 * I also have an Entertainer (yes, I really had to make a Twi'lek female, though the female bodies in the game are not that good) on Starsider - I wanted to try the role-play, which I was used to doing in pen-and-paper sessions with friends (for years now). The RP is very fun and being a dancer is fun too, she just hasn't leveled that much as I didn't want to macro her to max - I'm trying to do her missions and see how it goes. And the road to higher levels has been pretty fun too. Her name is Ky'oj Gavog, she's been shop showered by a good friend, and although the sands in Tatooine tend to get into ther sandals, she likes the planet, its cities and dancing outside cantinas, on unexpected locations across the world.
