SWGReborn

[Holmes]

Well that didn't last long, it would seem swgreborn is no more. The forums are gone and the following notice is posted on the website:

Quote:I regret to inform everyone that SWG Reborn will be discontinuing its services and shutting down as of today.
This wasn’t my decision and it especially wasn’t an easy one. Nearly five years ago, I joined the Project SWG team in hopes of reviving SWG after it had been wrongly shutdown. About two years ago, several of the PSWG staff had mysteriously left, and it ended up because those few staff members had obtained the source code to SWG, hoping they could start a server to bring the SWG experience back to everyone. Many know them as the team behind SWG Reveniens, and many people didn’t appreciate what they had decided to do. It wasn’t long until internal drama had caused them to fall apart, leaving the source to many others to attempt what they had tried to do.
This is how SWG Reborn came into existence. Almost a year ago, after obtaining the source, I began to tinker with it, with the hopes that I could once again relive SWG at its prime. It wasn’t long before I managed to have zoning working, but this was without scripts – almost all the game mechanics relied on scripts that had to be preprocessed and converted to java code that needed to be compiled. Even after that, it wasn’t long before that problem was tackled and solved. Soon after having a semi-stable server, I began to bring friends and their friends onto this server, testing the waters of this gift that had been leaked by a member of the Reveniens team. Videos from one point of this server’s life can be found on my YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/user/xseefox/videos), it was a seeming success.
After several months of this servers life, it was given a name and a forum, SWG Reborn was finally called SWG Reborn, this was all thanks to Aconite, who I had brought on to help me deal with the community aspect of things, and he did a damn good job – SWG Reborn couldn’t have happened without him.
But things soon took a spin for the worst… what had happened to the Reveniens team was starting to happen to Reborn. The very people who spawned the project disagreed about things and we couldn’t seem to resolve it without a seeming battlefield appearing.
All I’ve wanted to do since I started the little server running out of my house was to bring SWG back and play. Everything I’ve done has been in hopes of bringing back the game that I spent my childhood playing, the very game that inspired me to investigate computers further and eventually program.
Today (1/11/2015), it had come to my attention that several of our staff members had suddenly left to form a new project. My name has since been smeared and many lies have been said regarding what has transpired here within the Reborn project. This whole projects intent was to bring you all one of the most iconic and inspiring videos game back – I know many people believe I’ve been here for other reasons, perhaps fame or money, but the truth is, I’ve never received a single dollar from working on SWG or Reborn, and this idea of fame is ridiculous. I believe this desire to bring SWG back can be traced all the way back to when I had initially joined the Project SWG team (which is still alive and kicking, they’ve got some talented developers over there and Holocore looks great).
I’ve spent well over several hundred hours over the past several weeks, along with Ristana, in working on the server to allow you all to play, and to read that I’ve been the person to cause all these problems is extremely disappointing and discouraging. I’m very disappointed and saddened by the way things have transpired over the past few days, and am shocked how easily people can forget the big picture: this whole project was meant to bring SWG back.
I know I’ve wronged many people over the lifespan of SWG Reborn and even before, and I sincerely apologize to these people. Most times, these decisions were done in what I believed the best interested of resurrecting this MMO.
I respect the decision made by the former staff to start a new project and I wish them good luck but I’m very disappointed with their decision to attack me and smear my name.
It didn’t have to happen like this, and I’m really sorry to all the people who have been let down by this project – this wasn’t fair to anyone. The remaining staff of this project have decided to call it quits and we are subsequently shutting down the forum and website.
I'm really sad to see this project go.

Seefo and the remaining SWG Reborn staff
