  • Star Wars Galaxies was such an ambitious MMO at launch.

    Crazy in depth crafting system, especially with regards to pets. With how materials were randomly generated and cycled out it created a market that actually experienced booms and scarcity.

    Some of the servers went almost a year before all the materials required for certain weapons spawned. And the materials all had random stats that would affect the item you crafted.

    6th grade we had napster while some of us were still bringing in cases of floppies to play games that’d run on the computers
