Opinions?[edit]

Hey all, still new to using Wikipedia on the editor side of things so if this is the wrong place for this, or whatever, just let me know.

Thought I'd ask for opinions on whether a section to the SWG page about my personal incident with them would be of interest. Nothing huge, but maybe just a mention, since many may find it an interesting 'behind the scenes" kind thing, on an arguably legendary old MMO.

I was there for opening day of the original SWG, and played up until around WoW had been out for a couple of years or so; so I had countless hours of SWG under my belt. During that time I developed a 3rd party utility called "star wars galaxies loader" that had done several utilitarian type of "handy" things outside of the game (no hacking/cheating stuff). Took many months of hard work and polish to get it going; finally released it publicly, maybe somewhere around 2004-ish I think, it made an article in a gamer mag/page/site (I forget which one it was off the top of my head) which included a download link to the app.

Needless to say, it got something like 500+ downloads overnight, and by the next morning a nice little Cease & Desist email had been sent to my web host by SOE's lawyers, with all of the usual threats. So I had no choice but to "take it off the market" that fast. It must've gotten too much of a buzz which of course is a "huge threat" *eye roll* to mega game corporations.

I could probably even dig up the C&D email if I tried really hard. Still have all the source code and the app itself; been thinking about putting it all on Github for the SWG Emu players these days. Who knows.

What just made me think about this was that a similar thing just happened to: https://www.pcgamer.com/riot-cracks-down-on-valorant-app-that-gives-players-a-significant-advantage-before-the-match-even-begins-its-hard-to-describe-how-disappointed-i-am/


Anyone think this is "wikipedia worthy", and people may find it interesting? J. Scott Elblein (talk) 03:29, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
