SWG Legends

SWG Legends keeps the later version of Star Wars Galaxies alive. Where most emulator servers chase the game's early Pre-CU era, this one is built around the NGE ruleset, the version that followed the game's controversial 2005 overhaul, and it modifies that ruleset to its own taste. It has long been one of the larger NGE communities.

That choice shapes what you play. Combat is more direct and action-oriented, Jedi is available from the start of your character's life rather than being a distant unlock, and the galaxy is open for players who simply want to be a Star Wars hero without spending months on the road to get there. It is also a real sandbox still, with player cities, crafting and a community that likes to build and role-play in it.

So the choice between servers really comes down to which Galaxies you loved. If you want the old skill-tree game, Infinity, also listed here, is the better fit. If you remember the NGE fondly or just want more immediate action, Legends should feel right at home. It is a free, fan-run server with no connection to Sony or Lucasfilm. The rules and systems change as its team develops them, so check the community's pages for what is current.
