I used to be in an imperial russian clan in SW Galaxies. We had a player-built city on one of the planets, with small houses for soldiers, estates for high-ranking officers, a bar, a shop and a guildhall. Every single building was manually decorated. We ordered the uniform (black for soldiers, grey for officers etc), which was manually crafted by a girl (not in a clan i mean) who played a pure- tailor merchant and had a factory on another planet.
I played a carbineer-rifleman bounty hunter. You could actually hunt down jedi players and if you killed them you'd get a very decent money reward. You could track them down and ambush them as they left their houses in their guild towns or as they were having a chat with other players at the bar in the capital city etc. Once i had to hunt down this one jedi for 3 straight hours.
A clanmate of mine crafted a very expensive rifle for me and an armor set (don't remember the name), which i fully customize , including the colour. Same goes for the bike or any other transport you could have in the game (you could also buy a trained mountable pet from a beast-trainer player).
Not mentioning many other things you could do in the game , like the space pilot quests you could do together with your mates for example.
Sorry, just a bit of a nostalgia and a quick glance for people who never played the game.
A big FU to SoE for dumbing it down and generally ruining it.
