The first MMORPG for starwars that was successfull (over 100 players on at any given time) was a mud called 'Kobra'.
Its still around. I played, and helped develop it when I was in college.
It has all facets of starwars, and guilds etc.
There was a planet called 'ad2029' that was a 'terminator' world. There was a robot called 'devastator' that carried a lightsaber called 'the vulkan hybrid' that was a lightsaber, and a cannon together.
The bar sold the only 'sobering' drink in the game. A 'Dew'. And its most potent drink was a 'flaming armageddon' aliased armageddon. You could take three hits off of each one before your character couldnt walk you were so drunk.
Drinking alcohal caused you to heal/regain force points.
So you would run all across the game n s s n s s n e e s and then order and drink them till you were sloppy drunk, then sober up on dew, then run back and continue your fight.
It was an exercise in total geekdom, but many of them (us) went on to be very successfull programmers in multiple industries. One of which worked on the first installation of starwarsgalaxies
If you like to read, you should try this out. You can even play from a telnet app on their website.
