The pictures with the faces of Ymobacca are amazing! The first and the third one are really funny ... on what system are you playing the game Spank? I didn't know SW: Galaxies featured such detailed facial expressions!
My system is a P4 2.4Ghz, 1.5Gb RAM and a GeForce 4Ti 4600. However, I should point out that I do not have all the graphics options turned to full or even on (for example my Flora draw distance is set to half, I have no shadows [simple or volumetric] as well as other options).

To really get the most (visually) out of SWG, I fear I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and get me a Radeon X800XT...

Also, when it's night time in Europe... let's say 2 a.m., is there a decent number of people playing on the server?
I don't know anyone playing on dial-up but I believe it's not too bad, although combat can get somewhat laggy on dial-up.

As for night-time, the European server reboots at 3am (I think) but there are still people playing til that time. Obviously peak time is early evening. However, 2am GMT is when the US servers can be really busy!!!

Speaking of busy, I joined a Guild the other day (I'm now a proud member of Rogue Squadron) and on Friday (7:00pm GMT) there will be a massive Imperials vs Rebel PvP battle on Lok. Pex, who is the SWG Developers Event Manager, will be there to spawn AT-ATs amonst other things to add to the flavour! I can't wait!

Back on Flurry this type of content would happen during my sleep hours which is why I moved to a Euro server. I'll defo get some shots of this battle for you to view.
