First Jedi Player Unlocked In Star Wars Galaxies

mr_don't writes "TheForce.net reported today that the first appearance of a Jedi Initiate has occured in the PC MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies. The allakhazam.com Star Wars Galaxies Community Pages state: 'Monika T'Sarn of the PA Combine on the Intrepid Server unlocked her force sensitive slot today. Akinom T'Sarn (her FS character) is the first player confirmed Jedi Initiate in all of Star Wars Galaxies.' Here is a pic of the new Jedi." We recently ran a story on lack of player Jedi in SWG.

Yup, it's made by Verant.

OK, as far as I can see, it goes something like :

1) Make a character. Max it out.
2) Camp a rare drop item from a rare spawn that everyone else wants.
3) It tells you to delevel, and max out another character of class $random
4) Camp a rare drop item from a rare spawn that everyone else wants.
5) It tells you to delevel, and max out another character of class $random2
6) Camp a rare drop item from a rare spawn that everyone else wants.
7) It tells you to delevel, and max out another character of class $random3
8) Camp a rare drop item from a rare spawn that everyone else wants.
9) It doesn't tell you what to do. You just max out 2 other classes and hope that's them
10) (Possible) Visit every location.
11) Max out a serious number of tradeskills
12) Camp some rarespawn items for the lightsabre
13) Make the first step of the lightsabre to make the Training Sabre.
14) Camp some more items for the real lightsabre.
15) Do the final combine, and it's bugged, and doesn't work.

Meanwhile, over on Ebay, SWG Bria ~Force Sensitive Jedi Slot~ [ebay.com] Jedi characters are up for sale for $510.00

Damn I'm glad I never started that game. I wonder how Luke had time to do all that between making runs out to Toshi Station for power converters.

Nonsense!

Jedi players in SWG are not due until March 7th! [slashdot.org]

Re:How will this affect the game as a whole?

If you look at the picture again you will see that the one player said they killed 2 solo, not 2 Han Solo. Which means that character killed 2 of whatever creature they are referring to without help from anyone else.

Maybe I'm all alone, but IMO, the appeal of the Star Wars Universe is the Jedi mythos. This is why every other Star Wars licensed game to date has allowed you to "Use the Force" in some way shape or form

Is that true? I don't think the original Dark Forces [lucasarts.com] did, and certainly games like Tie Fighter [mobygames.com] didn't ...
