Since SWG overall is quiet lately - I've compiled all of my Finalizer Jedi PvP videos starting from Jedi Knight (Rank 0) all the way to Rank 11, Jedi Chancellor. Fight clubbing was banned on Finalizer, making this the first time the milestone was reached in SWG by official Vanilla 1x rates. By comparison, reaching Grand Marshal/Rank 14 in Classic WoW takes a fraction of only 3 months. Below I will give more backstory and context of the timeline. 

Around March 2022, activity slowed down considerably on Finalizer, leaving most Jedi stuck at Rank 0 or 1. The SWGEmu team rolled out World Bosses a few months later as a way to congregate many players in to one area, with high level rewards such as components for crafting, weapons, and even FRS XP. This drove people back to playing that had previously left. In addition, more Pre-CU features were gradually added, such as the original Covert/Overt GCW system. 

This was the period the infamous and legendary SWGEmu Alliance was formed. Due to most of the server being Imperial (Data which was provided by the SWGEmu team themselves later) ONYX swapped Rebel to join JuDGE and REIGN fight the odds, creating "JRO." The first time JRO fought together were the two videos 'Return' and 'Fired Up' on July 19th and July 25th. This was, in my opinion, the greatest period for SWG since Live Pre-CU. Finalizer added some QoL and extra content without changing the feel or look of the game, paying proper respects to the original. 

It was my greatest honor and privilege in my gaming history to play with JRO, who are undoubtedly the most known and feared at this point than any other SWG group to this day. We all may not have agreed with each other sometimes, but we always pulled through and worked together as a team when it mattered most to fill the Jedi Council seats, long before the Imperials did - That had far more players, gear, and resources in general at their disposal.. 

Reaching these achievements without this specific group, in only 9 months legitimately, would absolutely not have been possible at 1x rates. Key players included Ziuaq <ONYX>, Kysu <REIGN>, Ragni <JuDGE>, Rommi, and too many more to list. 

Hopefully this gives a better idea of the work that was put in during Finalizer during this period by both the Developers and Community to make a fun and active server. I will also be looking to add more playlists and content as there are many other Finalizer videos as we receive more NFS news going in to 2026. Hoping to see more of these goals being worthwhile again on NFS. The best rewards are hard-earned and worth waiting for.

Enjoy the ride.
