Star Wars Galaxies Awakening

Description
Star Wars Galaxies was an online "massively multiplayer online game" (also known as a MMOG). The game was released on April 15, 2003, and the official servers for it were shut down on December 15th, 2011. In many respects however the game ended on April 27th, 2005, when the games developers pushed a wildly unpopular "Combat Upgrade" expansion to the game.

Star Wars Galaxies Awakening is an emulated SWG Server powered by the FHEMU codebase. Awakening is set in the "Pre-CU" (pre-Combat Upgrade) era of the game, and its goal is to revive Star Wars Galaxies and bring back Pre-Cu gameplay in all its glory!

However, Awakening is not completely identical to the original/official Star Wars Galaxies servers, even in the Pre-CU era.

Major Differences

 * terminals which provide buffs for new characters have been added to major cities
 * the Jump to Lightspeed expansion, which introduced space fighting, is not functional (although the Awakening developers have expressed a desire to get it working in the future)
 * the path to obtaining a Jedi character has been changed to be more mysterious
 * the Bounty Hunter profession has been given enhanced capabilities to put them on more equal footing when fighting Jedi
