That One Thing
Setting up a moisture vaporator camp in the Dune Sea of Tatooine under twin suns, then resting around a campfire while an entertainer buffs your combat mind pool.
SWG Restoration takes a different route from most Star Wars Galaxies servers. Rather than recreating one moment in the game's history, it combines parts of several: a deep multi-profession system and a combat style reminiscent of the Combat Upgrade, along with all of the NGE-era content and expansions, including Jump to Lightspeed. So you can fly starships in a game that still has the old profession system, which the original never really offered in that form.
It is also not standing still. The project has been delivering large updates for years, with massive quality-of-life improvements and server content that progresses according to player actions. PC Gamer covered it 15 years after Sony shut the game down, with its Shatterpoint update adding a large-scale civil war event in the style of Helldivers, where the whole server pushes the front lines together.
Choose it if you like Galaxies' sandbox but want something that keeps growing, rather than a faithful preservation of one era. For a stricter Pre-CU experience, Infinity is listed here too, and Legends covers the NGE. Restoration is free and fan-run, with no connection to Sony or Lucasfilm. PlayBound runs the project's own installer, and you get your account and any further guidance through Restoration's official channels. Its community gathers on Discord.
