Thank you so much to those who pledged on Patreon and encouraged me to spend some time to tell me story. Here's the armor site I mentioned swtorista.com/armor/ (not finished)
1. Story of how you met your husband, bloody adorable. Sounded like it was written for a Rom-Com. B, no 2. You are such a god send the SWTOR player base. C. Well their isn't another one, you're just awesome. And may the force be with us all.
I started playing when the game first released, and I was in love. It was everything I ever wanted out of a game. I kept trying to get my friends to play with me, but it didn't hit them the way it hit me. Fast forward 7 years, and I got married. My wife and I just started playing together, and she loves it! I'm showing her your videos now to help her learn and because she loves the fashion in game. Thanks for everything you do. You got a subscriber out of me.
I discovered SWTOR shortly after Clone Wars ended. I needed something to help me explore more of Star Wars but i wasnt a books/comic books person so i didnt have a way to learn more about the EU aside from games. Then my cousin showed me the game. I saw him play Jedi Knight (back when the comps needed gear to be effective) and since the game was free i decided to check it out. I went into the character creation and i saw an option to play with the Empire. That was something new. I saw the classes, chose Sith Inquisitor and started playing. I was hooked! The story line was amazing! I loved Korriban. Exploring the tomb of Ajunta Pall, hearing the Sith Code for the first time and finally..seeing the Sith Academy. I was amazed and shocked that the Sith were portrayed as more than greedy self serving murderers. The game had such great story lines and it had a very realistic feel to it because it explored the negative and the positive aspects of all the factions in it. It wasnt just a simple battle of good vs evil. You could see there were heroes and villains on both sides of the war. SWTOR is a great game. I still like and enjoy it but improvements need to happen. Mainly in the story line department. I believe the 8 class story lines system needs to somehow return and also...the writing of the factions post-Zildrog needs to improve because at the moment we have a weak Republic that focuses too much on burocracy and public appearance instead of the War and an Empire that is repeating stupid mistakes of the past (making a self serving bit/h like Malora a DK member and letting her live after the mess her Colicoids caused on Ossus...that was stupid...Acina and Vowrawn are smarter than this). Great Video SWTORISTA. May the Force be with you and your loved ones!
You, my dear Swtorista, may enjoy playing non-force classes in a magic-based galaxy far far away, but in this galaxy, you are truly a magician. Thank you from the heart for this most wonderful, sweet and sincere account of your personal SWTOR experience. I am sure you reached many hearts especially with this video, mine among them. I only regret (being from EU) that I never got to play with you or in your guild.
A meme group! Haha! We struggle sometimes to explain to older people how we met online... I can only imagine trying to explain that! Glad you guys connected!
Everything about your story sounds like a dream to me, finding love online, making friends, even having a nice guild who meet sounds amazing. I love swtor for the exact same reasons, the era, the jedi, the enviroment and scale, and ofcourse it being star wars. Thank you for this video and all the others, they really helped me, in game and now in life. Hopefully we will meet in game someday! thank you so much again
Although I quickly tired of SWTOR when I started playing it due to it's repetitive and grindy gameplay between the story cut scenes, I found your videos invaluable as a newbie starting out. Your content is terrific, and your passion for the game shines through, to the extent I still watch your vids even though I'm not playing the game anymore. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, Swotorista for the origin story... My 1st character created was my bounty hunter, after character creation, I met a level 70 bounty hunter taught me how to level, hunter rotation, flash point and so on. He was my mentor and only friend in SWTOR that time... the day he left the game, he gave me my pair of customizable Mandalorian blaster pistol MK1 and MK2... so sad he didn't get online after ... I am still using the pair of pistols until today... T.T Hope, he can see my comment here and come back to SWTOR, I am a level 70 bounty hunter now and thanks for the everything !!! really miss level, warzone together with you... and I am copying the same look armor as how you looked back then, so when you logged on, you won't miss me among all the hunters running around :)
Wow this story is awesome. You are a great content creator. Your content somehow got my cousin who told me he hated SWTOR, to play it. He really enjoys it now. Thank You.
I'm a do-lead officer in my RP section of my build The Eternal Order (Satelle Shan) This video is really cool th for making it, my experience is ing dad is a big star wars nerd, and the plauge happened to spread to me, a d I played a lot of Star Wars games. At that point he showed me MMOs and we found SWTOR (when KOTFE was in Beta) I joined the game as a free to play. Complete noob. But since then I've been through multiple guilds, met cool people then found The Eternal Order, learned A LOT, I ranked up became an officer and became an RP do-lead and now come up with stories for our guild and we have a bunch of fun and I'm just a kid! I've learned job experience how to handle people and am ready for Onslaught, this game is great and thank you for posting content! I would love if you guys could play with us, Join The Eternal Order (Satelle Shan) today,hope to see you there
This story is so wholesome. I was raised on Star Wars since I was 4 and could actually comprehend stuff. My grandparents and parents showed me the original trilogy and that just made me expand my love to the prequels (I get judged a fair bit for that lol). I saw the Clone Wars premeir and had watched it up until the the series finally and I am excited for the new season. When SWTOR first got started I bought the hard discs when I was super young maybe 10 and fell in love with the game. While I'm not as dedicated to the game as to raid and all that I play it a lot. I'm always so happy to see people tell how Star Wars affected their lives cause I can relate so hard. I'm glad I saw this video, made me feel super happy. Keep at it SWOTRISTA
Great Video, I've mentioned in another video of yours that it's Because of You're Videos and how informative & very detailed they are, mostly You're You're content & Content that I happen to view from others on occasions are what got me into SWTOR 4 or 5 years ago, mind you I'm STILL a casual player & have a job & a life outside the game as you and ALL of us who play the game Likely do as well lol it's still one of the funniest Starwars Ganes I've ever had the opportunity to be introduced to and play even today, hell I just played one of my Sorcerers on makeb earlier this morning lol I've also completed all 8 classes on 2 Servers in the span of the 4 years I've played & have created a little more than 20-25+ Characters On each Server as well, that's how how dedicated I am too this game, that's how in depth and well Written And Well developed the MMO was & still continues to be to this day, regardless of the older graphics engine it's on, it's STILL a beautiful game and Content creators like you are why I stay faithful to the game. It's also worth noting that a RUclipsr known as DANQ8000 is Content Creator that I Will Personally Credit for pushing me to actually install & try out this great MMO, because of the videos he did of playing SWTOR...I Still Plan & Hope to Start Creating my own Content Real soon which was the sole purpose of creating my own RUclips Channel as well lol But That bei g said, Thank You Swtorista For Everything You Put out To all of us to see & Learn From & To DANQ8000 for getting me hooked to SWTOR 4 years ago. Keep Putting out The EXCELLENT Content and Keep up the great works. :D
First off I just want to say thank you for all the hard work you did, and continue to do, for this community. Because of your videos, I was able to figure out and enjoy playing this game! I know this is late, but congratulations to you and your husband! I wish you two the best. And going into web design is really cool, and cooler yet is how you applied all of your skills in everything you do. Videos, websites, etc. Interesting enough, my first encounter with star wars was also with the games. I love the universe! I absolutely love the old republic because of Kotor 1, and Swtor. I also love the clone wars due to the cartoon and episode 2 attack of the clones. It's amazing how video games can change one's life, and it is truly a privilege to enjoy every minute of it. Thank you again, and take care Swtorista!
What a sweet and charming story. My husband and I also met and bonded over Star Wars type games although not as distant. We had a virtual wedding (in addition to our IRL one) for our Guildies to share in Rift before we moved to SWTOR.
I 100% get this story. I'm still in the process of "get a laptop and start playing", but I'm starting senior year of high school. So at worst, like a year to go :D
I love your channel so much. I played swtor a few years back and about two months ago I came across your channel and it revived my love for this game. I love how you met so many great friends and your husband online. I actually teared up when you said y'all got married. I'm so happy for you and keep up the good work!
It's awesome to hear that this game (or just games in general) have had such an impact on personal lives! My swtor story isn't as in depth as yours, but it's nice to see such passion in this game. I've dealt with depression and anxiety for years. This game is the one thing makes me forget all that. It has greatly increased my self confidence and how I view myself. I honestly don't think I'd be who I am today without this game
I started playing SWTOR in 2017 (it’s mi first MMO) and had no idea whats going on. Your Videos helped me a lot to see new parts of the game 😂 I still enjoy your videos, just to keep updated and to get new Inspiration to try new things in SWTOR :) I only just want to say Thank You :)
Totally agreed on the class story bit, its insane, the amount of story in this game and replayability from an rpg perspective is what keeps me coming back, always and no matter how much time has passed.
What a story! It had intrigue, emotional conflict, the ups and downs. The story of becoming a guild leader and facing a conflict between heart and position feels like it fits right right into the Star Wars universe. Yours is truly an incredible story. I've only just found your channel as I'm interested in getting into SWTOR, I wasn't expecting such an emotional epic.
@@Swtorista Congratulations! It's really inspiring to see you and your husband get your happily ever after. And all thanks to SWTOR no less. Truly amazing.
I remember sharing in SWTOR chat that my character had a backstory and character traits that I'd follow, basically I'd roleplay. Then some guy I was partying with lol'ed me. I remember being caught off guard by that since I was just a little kid, but now I realize that there's nothing wrong with roleplay. Why even play an mmo Role Playing game if you're not gonna... role play? The way I think of it is, roleplay is almost like having a certain amount of control over your own character and the story. Like being a director of your own movie or tv show. I don't see why you wouldn't totally immerse yourself in that and make it the most compelling experience that you possibly can. If I play rpgs I'm really there for the narrative. Maybe I'm a writer at heart and just find roleplay games to be a fun distraction, I dunno, but these two things always seemed to go along with eachother to me. I actually often found more enjoyment out of writing my characters than I did playing them, but then again playing with other people is a different kind of fun. It's more social and playful, whereas writing is often secluded and more creative. I feel I went off on a ramble but I never shared these thoughts with someone, so yeah. hope someone understands
This whole experience myyy loord girl it sounds so much like a wonderful fairytale. It's incredible how love can bloom anywhere. I am honestly so happy for you. So much in fact that I teared up at some parts:,) I really really hope that you will keep doing what you love doing with passion and keep chasing the oportunities as they appear. All my love and well wishes!
My first SWTOR character was a Trooper as well! I thought it would be outrageous to be a Soldier in the Galaxy and not a glowstick wielding Ninja or a Charismatic Outlaw so I went with it! Now it's 100% my favorite class.
I absolutely loved this origin story! Thank you so so much for sharing this Swtorista! You are a pillar of the community and you help keep this game going strong! I had to clean my keyboard and monitor because of your caption at 13:47 . I literally spit out my coffee with laughter. What a mess!
Thank you so mucb for making this video. As far as I'm concerned, you ARE SWTOR. You're the face of SWTOR. Bioware should be paying you. Thank you from making a video where I can learn more about you as a real person, not just a content creator. It allows me to feel as if there's a real connection to you videos, as if they're made by an actually, real-life, person. Thank you again for all you do. Your channel and your videos are my first stop and I even like watching the videos about things I already know just because they are YOUR videos. Plus, watching them and not skipping the ads only helps you.
I'm still friends with a player from 5 years ago even though i stopped playing 2 years ago. I'm from the Philippines and he's from Belgium. Amazing game with amazing people. Hopefully one of us can visit soon.
I normaly don't see any video like this one that are bigger than 15 minutes and i saw this one without stopping. Very good lol nice to learn your story.
I've been playing for about a week now and already made some great friends. I was asking people where to find the speeder shop and someone came outta nowhere to talk me to the shop and then they just gave me 25,000,000 credits got me into their guild and showed me the ropes. I haven't run into a playerbase like this since the xbox live days of 2007
So romantic! We love your cool experience with swtor and hope you keep having more wonderful memories and experiences together! We enjoy everything you do! May the Force be with you!
Oh my god, my story is similar to yours...I met my current partner in SWTOR, i moved contries for us to work, living with his family and all. We led a guild together and we've been apart for 2 long year.
I've been subbed for about a year or two now, and this has got to be my fav swtor channel, ive got aton of reasons, one of the best one is, you are not a showoff like some of the other channel, you describe 1 million credits as like it can be expensive for some people, but other channels say its just down right cheap. Also, your armor set videos, i love them. Ive discovered some of my new favorite armor sets from you, the best part is, most of the crafted ones go for 40k - 100k each!
Thanks for sharing! It was great to see how much fun you have with sci-fy events. I have heard a handful of other stories of couples meeting in an online game and getting married. But yours is the first I have heard where you were from different countries. Amazing!
i feel so happy hearing the back ground swtor music i know when i was kind of afk or so and the music was SO loud and i loved it and now i can look back and hear the music and am so happy ,feel so much nostolgia
@@Swtorista and thank you for making this video i would love to play the game again but i really want another game like this a cool mmorpg but this is the most likely to me (its epic) Thanks for answering
Hey! i don't play SWTOR for over 5 years now, but every once and while i drop by your RUclips Channel to check the news and because i admire the passion a dedication you put into it. Gratz for your work here and i wish all the best to you. Cheers from Brazil.
Wow. An interesting backstory. A fun fact here: I was watching Star Wars videos one day and a video on this channel popped up. One of your beginers guides for TOR. I was like "What's this?" I watched it and decided "This game looks interesting. I think I'll give it a try." I actually discovered the game through this channel and ever since I've enjoyed the game and watched your new content every day. Thanks RUclips for putting this channel on my recommended tab like two years ago.Helped me get interested, and involved, in the community for one of the best games I've ever played. Also, your content is great, keep up the good work Swtorista.
@@Swtorista I saw the notification that you replied to my comment and gasped. But then my mind went "Wait. Why am I even surprised anymore?" because literally EVERY TIME I comment you reply XD Edit: I'm actually playing SWTOR as I'm writing this reply
Kotor 2 was one of my first computer games when i was 8, i loved watching my dad play it so he let me play it, then i hunted down the first kotor which took awhile since they were no longer sold at stores near me as i was late to the party. Then 1 month after turning 12 years old this game released and ive been on and off playing ever since off of my love and passion for the Kotor series and my love for Star Wars.
My dad took me to see the first Star Wars movie for my birthday back in 1977. It was the first movie I ever saw. It planted the seed which eventually led to tabletop RPG's. It sparked my interest in comic books, sci-fi, MMO's and was one of the main reasons why I took shop class in JR High School, and electronics class in high school, the Navy and then I went to school for IT. I am thinking about going to school for heavy diesel mechanics, and or going back into IT. I am a little bummed because the guild I am part has fell apart. I enjoy your videos. I do enjoy your videos because they are upbeat and entertaining. I hope you have nothing but continued success.
Been in love with Star Wars since i saw the movies. funny story, i never watched any of the movies until Return of the Jedi came out. My High school sweetheart was completely shocked that i never saw the 2 prior movies. Prior to the premier of Return of the Jedi, they started playing the other two movies. Fell in love with the Series ever since. The Movies, Games and such. I still remember my house on Naboo in SWG. The Crafting system in SWG was so good, it killed it for me in other MMO's.
The best experience I've had with online gameplaying was my (fairly brief) stint in a guild in SWTOR. I found a multi-game group with a guild in SWTOR and got about 3 months of fun before the group shut down. My fondest memories are probably FINALLY getting to do a raid, and random voicechats while we all did our own thing. In general, I'm not too keen on games that REQUIRE co-op play to experience certain story lines or unlock certain items (I am not that great at video games and really worry about letting down teammates, especially in PvE situations where victory is basically expexted.) But my SWOTOR experience wouldn't be the same without it.
Thanks for sharing. The story of you and your husband was heartwarming. I'm not as active in swtor as I once was but seeing your videos is always a treat.
I appreciate you opening up and letting us all in. Enjoyed the video. You are very easy to listen to. Great voice for youtube. I too met a woman in my guild that I dated for a time. it did not end badly but distance and other issues are real. Glad your in-game romance ended happily.
First of all I want to say what an amazing and wonderful life story you just shared here with us. Your story captivated me and I could not stop listening to it. I myself have recently found my way back to SWTOR after 6 years. My family and I bought our first home 6 years ago and sadly when we moved we could not get internet except satellite and that was so horrible we just went without it for years. About 3 months ago our phone cell phone company got unlimited hotspot which i recently decided to try this game again and it amazingly worked. I am so stoked. I decided to do a youtube search to see if i could catch myself back up on what i have been missing and relearn the game and came across your videos. Thank you very much they have been an amazing help I hope to run across you and your family in the game and possibly join in on some of the excitement.
Just came back a couple days ago after an extended period away. This game is just amazing. Still the best of the best Star Wars games ever made. It's a far cry from the Galaxies disaster.
I feel you on this. I've always loved the elder scrolls and I adore elder scrolls online.. whenever I don't have to upgrade, grind for, or change my characters builds.. I hate grinding
Thank you very much for sharing all of this, without knowing I was in Remnant of Hope for some months before I have to leave the game because of work. Swtor is a big part of my life, making great friends and is wonderful to see other people being touched by the game and experience!!!
Aww I loved your Swtor story! It has a fun and interesting beginning with challenges and rewards a long the way 😁👍🏻 and then your adventure really starts to come into its own. I remember when I first heard about SWTOR becoming an online game as well. I created an account and everything. I didn’t have a gaming pc at the time so I couldn’t jump in at launch lol - But back to your adventure I think it’s really cool! In some ways it plays out like a Star Wars movie. There’s angst, discovery, excitement, fear, friendships and ultimately love. ❤️ all the ingredients for a fun and rewarding adventure. But what I find particularly cool, is that your story includes Star Wars. Star Wars is awesome!! 🤣 And when I think about Star Wars there’s always this romantic side to it. A love under the stars if you will. - Wether it’s romantic love Han falling for Leia. Leia falling for Han and then wanting to rescue him (which I think is awesome! I love it when a woman fights for her man) or a love for the fantasy of it all. Star Wars has some really cool locations, and characters. There’s always this really cool sense of discovery with it as well. You can jump into a star ship and go to some place truly magical and fantastic! Haha Do you want to get there fast? We have hyperspace engines!! I think it’s really cool that your Star Wars Story is also a love story. Congratulations btw! - And on a side note, you got to go to Galaxys Edge?! Super jealous! I hope to go soon. And how can you forget your first holocron find! 🤣 That brings back memories for me. Being on Coruscant and falling repeatedly trying to get a specific holocron haha good times! Thank you Swtorista for sharing your SWTOR story. It’s a cool story!! Like Obi-Wan Kenobi, you have the “high ground” - where does your story go next? I don’t know. But I have a good feeling about it. 😉 In a way “the Force will be with you, always.”
You’re welcome. I’m glad you liked it. - it is pretty cool though. You get to say that you met the love of your life in a Galaxy Far Far Away 👍🏻 haha I think that’s awesome! Maybe someday I’ll be able to say the same. You never know? Pew pew! 😃It was great seeing you at Celebration. Glad I met you.
When you brought up the guild leader thing about “stealing money from guild bank” it caused me to remember a time when my guild leader, who I trusted, took all the money from guild bank and spent it. Caused the guild to disband and most of the members stopped playing. Found him during a flashpoint on accident after the server merge. When we recognized each other it was a pretty awkward experience.
What a touching and personal history you had with this game. I'm a huge fan of your videos and,, seeing how you are so personally connected with this game, made all of them even more relevant to me. I believe that great part of SWTOR community, which is a true fan of Lucasfilm and Lucasarts golden eras has some kind of emotional relationship with this great MMORPG. I'm one of those players.
A really great video! Very interesting to find out a little something about the person behind the videos. I have some very very good memories from my years in swtor but seeing the incredible mass of awesome things and (roleplay) events you mustve been part is just amazing, I love to see how this game is loved this much by people here!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I have been playing since late January, so I am only 5 months in to my SWTOR journey. I want you to know that I truly appreciate all of the advice and new player content that you provide. You have helped me more than you can imagine. I didn't play the game when it first came out because #1 I was a Guild Wars player anxiously waiting for GW2 to come out, and #2 Skyrim came out. When GW2 finally came it's all I played for years. I had heard of SWTOR, but it fell of my radar. I am glad I finally got around to playing, and I am ever so thankful for creators like you who take the time to show us noobs how to play. Thank you.
Hello from Newfoundland! Love your channel, and even though I thought I was an experienced player you really helped me out. It’s was really good to be able to hear your story! Thank you for everything you do, Swtorista.
Thank you so much to those who pledged on Patreon and encouraged me to spend some time to tell me story.

Thank you! It's a pretty crazy story.
Yup
I started playing when the game first released, and I was in love. It was everything I ever wanted out of a game. I kept trying to get my friends to play with me, but it didn't hit them the way it hit me. Fast forward 7 years, and I got married. My wife and I just started playing together, and she loves it!

That's so fun! I'm glad you're enjoying it together!
This was very cool to watch. Thanks for sharing. The swtor community is very lucky to have someone like you.
Thank you, it was cool to share!

I needed something to help me explore more of Star Wars but i wasnt a books/comic books person so i didnt have a way to learn more about the EU aside from games. Then my cousin showed me the game.

Thank you from the heart for this most wonderful, sweet and sincere account of your personal SWTOR experience. I am sure you reached many hearts especially with this video, mine among them. I only regret (being from EU) that I never got to play with you or in your guild.
Thank you for such a sweet comment Aliel!
@@Swtorista It's so great how you take the time and react and interact with your community 😀
Damn, that story is just too cute. My girlfriend and I met through a meme group!
A meme group! Haha! We struggle sometimes to explain to older people how we met online... I can only imagine trying to explain that! Glad you guys connected!
Now thats a story i wanna hear
Everything about your story sounds like a dream to me, finding love online, making friends, even having a nice guild who meet sounds amazing. I love swtor for the exact same reasons, the era, the jedi, the enviroment and scale, and ofcourse it being star wars. Thank you for this video and all the others, they really helped me, in game and now in life. Hopefully we will meet in game someday! thank you so much again
I am happy that u found someone to spend your life with swtorista
Thanks Guardian, me too!

Not gonna lie, the story of you meeting your husband was beautiful
Thanks, Swotorista for the origin story... My 1st character created was my bounty hunter, after character creation, I met a level 70 bounty hunter taught me how to level, hunter rotation, flash point and so on. He was my mentor and only friend in SWTOR that time... the day he left the game, he gave me my pair of customizable Mandalorian blaster pistol MK1 and MK2... so sad he didn't get online after ... I am still using the pair of pistols until today... T.T Hope, he can see my comment here and come back to SWTOR, I am a level 70 bounty hunter now and thanks for the everything !!! really miss level, warzone together with you... and I am copying the same look armor as how you looked back then, so when you logged on, you won't miss me among all the hunters running around :)
So cool that you had a mentor, if only for a time!
When he left me I was but a learner, now I am the master 😆
Same for me my first contact with Star Wars was Jedi Knight 2 Jedi outcast, once more Kyle Katarn
*high fives for Kyle Katarn*
Wow this story is awesome. You are a great content creator. Your content somehow got my cousin who told me he hated SWTOR, to play it. He really enjoys it now. Thank You.
This is the wholesome type of content I signed up for!
Haha,!
Update, we just celebrated mr Swtorista finishing college today!
swtor can thank you for your amazing videos!!
Thank you Maritia!
I'm a do-lead officer in my RP section of my build The Eternal Order (Satelle Shan) This video is really cool th for making it, my experience is ing dad is a big star wars nerd, and the plauge happened to spread to me, a d I played a lot of Star Wars games. At that point he showed me MMOs and we found SWTOR (when KOTFE was in Beta) I joined the game as a free to play. Complete noob. But since then I've been through multiple guilds, met cool people then found The Eternal Order, learned A LOT, I ranked up became an officer and became an RP do-lead and now come up with stories for our guild and we have a bunch of fun and I'm just a kid! I've learned job experience how to handle people and am ready for Onslaught, this game is great and thank you for posting content! I would love if you guys could play with us, Join The Eternal Order (Satelle Shan) today,hope to see you there
Haha! We both caught the Star Wars Plague!
Long Live The Eternal Order!
Wow must say i admire you for speaking so free about your past and even though its late congratulations on getting married and best of luck to you
Thank you!
Wow, that was... extremely wholesome.
A rare delicacy here on RUclips
I’m playing Swtor right now and these people in chat are talking about how great your videos are when it comes to teaching.
jedi knight 2 jedi outcast was my first star wars game and remains one of my favorite games
This story is so wholesome. I was raised on Star Wars since I was 4 and could actually comprehend stuff. My grandparents and parents showed me the original trilogy and that just made me expand my love to the prequels (I get judged a fair bit for that lol). I saw the Clone Wars premeir and had watched it up until the the series finally and I am excited for the new season. When SWTOR first got started I bought the hard discs when I was super young maybe 10 and fell in love with the game. While I'm not as dedicated to the game as to raid and all that I play it a lot. I'm always so happy to see people tell how Star Wars affected their lives cause I can relate so hard. I'm glad I saw this video, made me feel super happy. Keep at it SWOTRISTA
Great Video, I've mentioned in another video of yours that it's Because of You're Videos and how informative & very detailed they are, mostly You're You're content & Content that I happen to view from others on occasions are what got me into SWTOR 4 or 5 years ago, mind you I'm STILL a casual player & have a job & a life outside the game as you and ALL of us who play the game Likely do as well lol it's still one of the funniest Starwars Ganes I've ever had the opportunity to be introduced to and play even today, hell I just played one of my Sorcerers on makeb earlier this morning lol I've also completed all 8 classes on 2 Servers in the span of the 4 years I've played & have created a little more than 20-25+ Characters On each Server as well, that's how how dedicated I am too this game, that's how in depth and well Written And Well developed the MMO was & still continues to be to this day, regardless of the older graphics engine it's on, it's STILL a beautiful game and Content creators like you are why I stay faithful to the game. It's also worth noting that a RUclipsr known as DANQ8000 is Content Creator that I Will Personally Credit for pushing me to actually install & try out this great MMO, because of the videos he did of playing SWTOR...I Still Plan & Hope to Start Creating my own Content Real soon which was the sole purpose of creating my own RUclips Channel as well lol But That bei g said, Thank You Swtorista For Everything You Put out To all of us to see & Learn From & To DANQ8000 for getting me hooked to SWTOR 4 years ago. Keep Putting out The EXCELLENT Content and Keep up the great works. :D
ALSO Please Excuse All My Typos Too....lmao 😂😂
Cheers! What a comment!
A truly great story about a person, a series, & the relation created between the two.
First off I just want to say thank you for all the hard work you did, and continue to do, for this community. Because of your videos, I was able to figure out and enjoy playing this game!
I know this is late, but congratulations to you and your husband! I wish you two the best.
And going into web design is really cool, and cooler yet is how you applied all of your skills in everything you do. Videos, websites, etc.
Interesting enough, my first encounter with star wars was also with the games. I love the universe! I absolutely love the old republic because of Kotor 1, and Swtor. I also love the clone wars due to the cartoon and episode 2 attack of the clones.
It's amazing how video games can change one's life, and it is truly a privilege to enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you again, and take care Swtorista!
Thanks Blue Knight, and thanks for sharing your story!
@@Swtorista Thank you for reading my comment! And no problem! May the force be with you!
When I clicked on this video, I had no idea I would be listening to a full, deep love story.
I’m so glad I watched this.
Thank you for sharing!
What a sweet and charming story. My husband and I also met and bonded over Star Wars type games although not as distant. We had a virtual wedding (in addition to our IRL one) for our Guildies to share in Rift before we moved to SWTOR.
Oh how lovely thanks for sharing!
I 100% get this story. I'm still in the process of "get a laptop and start playing", but I'm starting senior year of high school. So at worst, like a year to go :D
I love your channel so much. I played swtor a few years back and about two months ago I came across your channel and it revived my love for this game. I love how you met so many great friends and your husband online. I actually teared up when you said y'all got married. I'm so happy for you and keep up the good work!
Thank you Baby Legs!
It's awesome to hear that this game (or just games in general) have had such an impact on personal lives! My swtor story isn't as in depth as yours, but it's nice to see such passion in this game. I've dealt with depression and anxiety for years. This game is the one thing makes me forget all that. It has greatly increased my self confidence and how I view myself. I honestly don't think I'd be who I am today without this game
I'm really glad that game has had such a positive influence for you too!
Thanks for sharing your story. Your are major part of a gang that includes Kid Lee and Vulkk that make Swtor awesome.
Honored to be included with those two :D
Congratulations!!that must have been a great ride!You still have a lot stories to tell in the future!I wish you the best!!!!
Thank you Zaxos!
I started playing SWTOR in 2017 (it’s mi first MMO) and had no idea whats going on. Your Videos helped me a lot to see new parts of the game 😂
I still enjoy your videos, just to keep updated and to get new Inspiration to try new things in SWTOR :)
I only just want to say Thank You :)
Same.
Totally agreed on the class story bit, its insane, the amount of story in this game and replayability from an rpg perspective is what keeps me coming back, always and no matter how much time has passed.
What a story! It had intrigue, emotional conflict, the ups and downs. The story of becoming a guild leader and facing a conflict between heart and position feels like it fits right right into the Star Wars universe. Yours is truly an incredible story.
I've only just found your channel as I'm interested in getting into SWTOR, I wasn't expecting such an emotional epic.
It's a pretty crazy story. Follow-up, a few months ago we had our immigration paperwork all accepted!
@@Swtorista Congratulations! It's really inspiring to see you and your husband get your happily ever after. And all thanks to SWTOR no less. Truly amazing.
I remember sharing in SWTOR chat that my character had a backstory and character traits that I'd follow, basically I'd roleplay. Then some guy I was partying with lol'ed me. I remember being caught off guard by that since I was just a little kid, but now I realize that there's nothing wrong with roleplay. Why even play an mmo Role Playing game if you're not gonna... role play? The way I think of it is, roleplay is almost like having a certain amount of control over your own character and the story. Like being a director of your own movie or tv show. I don't see why you wouldn't totally immerse yourself in that and make it the most compelling experience that you possibly can. If I play rpgs I'm really there for the narrative. Maybe I'm a writer at heart and just find roleplay games to be a fun distraction, I dunno, but these two things always seemed to go along with eachother to me. I actually often found more enjoyment out of writing my characters than I did playing them, but then again playing with other people is a different kind of fun. It's more social and playful, whereas writing is often secluded and more creative. I feel I went off on a ramble but I never shared these thoughts with someone, so yeah. hope someone understands
We feel the same way, whether it's a solo game or online game we enjoy making backgrounds for our characters :)
That story of how you met your husband is absolutely adorable!
This whole experience myyy loord girl it sounds so much like a wonderful fairytale. It's incredible how love can bloom anywhere. I am honestly so happy for you. So much in fact that I teared up at some parts:,) I really really hope that you will keep doing what you love doing with passion and keep chasing the oportunities as they appear. All my love and well wishes!
Thank you so much Wrath I'm glad you enjoyed the story!
My first SWTOR character was a Trooper as well! I thought it would be outrageous to be a Soldier in the Galaxy and not a glowstick wielding Ninja or a Charismatic Outlaw so I went with it! Now it's 100% my favorite class.
I absolutely loved this origin story! Thank you so so much for sharing this Swtorista! You are a pillar of the community and you help keep this game going strong!
I had to clean my keyboard and monitor because of your caption at 13:47 . I literally spit out my coffee with laughter. What a mess!
Haha!!! Cheers!
Awesome history, it's amazing how MMOS bring us unique things in our lives that's why I love this kind of game.
@Swtorista Wow, amazing how similar our stories are with the pc when we were young and starting out with Dark Forces, etc. Very cool.
Thank you so mucb for making this video.
As far as I'm concerned, you ARE SWTOR.
You're the face of SWTOR. Bioware should be paying you.
Thank you from making a video where I can learn more about you as a real person, not just a content creator. It allows me to feel as if there's a real connection to you videos, as if they're made by an actually, real-life, person.
Thank you again for all you do. Your channel and your videos are my first stop and I even like watching the videos about things I already know just because they are YOUR videos.
Plus, watching them and not skipping the ads only helps you.
I'm still friends with a player from 5 years ago even though i stopped playing 2 years ago. I'm from the Philippines and he's from Belgium. Amazing game with amazing people. Hopefully one of us can visit soon.
I normaly don't see any video like this one that are bigger than 15 minutes and i saw this one without stopping. Very good lol nice to learn your story.
I've been playing for about a week now and already made some great friends.
I was asking people where to find the speeder shop and someone came outta nowhere to talk me to the shop and then they just gave me 25,000,000 credits got me into their guild and showed me the ropes.
I haven't run into a playerbase like this since the xbox live days of 2007
oh how nice!
I've been watching you for a bit now with your help swtor has become alot more enjoyable I understand it a lot more now thanks so much
Cheers! :)
I don't even play SWTOR anymore, havent for years, but I still watch you because I think you're entertaining and I mean, the music... soooo good.
I was just scrolling through to see what other videos you had, and I did not expect to be watching such a great story. The force is with you
Thank you! We just celebrated our anniversary :)
So romantic! We love your cool experience with swtor and hope you keep having more wonderful memories and experiences together! We enjoy everything you do! May the Force be with you!
Oh my god, my story is similar to yours...I met my current partner in SWTOR, i moved contries for us to work, living with his family and all. We led a guild together and we've been apart for 2 long year.
I've been subbed for about a year or two now, and this has got to be my fav swtor channel, ive got aton of reasons, one of the best one is, you are not a showoff like some of the other channel, you describe 1 million credits as like it can be expensive for some people, but other channels say its just down right cheap. Also, your armor set videos, i love them. Ive discovered some of my new favorite armor sets from you, the best part is, most of the crafted ones go for 40k - 100k each!
Cheers! :)
Thanks for sharing! It was great to see how much fun you have with sci-fy events. I have heard a handful of other stories of couples meeting in an online game and getting married. But yours is the first I have heard where you were from different countries. Amazing!
What an absolutely beautiful story! To hear how online friends became a real life couple is truly amazing! Thank you so much for sharing it.
i feel so happy hearing the back ground swtor music i know when i was kind of afk or so and the music was SO loud and i loved it and now i can look back and hear the music and am so happy ,feel so much nostolgia
I still listen to the soundtrack when working, it's really nice.
@@Swtorista and thank you for making this video i would love to play the game again but i really want another game like this a cool mmorpg but this is the most likely to me (its epic) Thanks for answering
I am all about the RP in SWTOR and in Star Wars in general. Your story is so inspiring and reminds me of my own beginnings
Hey! i don't play SWTOR for over 5 years now, but every once and while i drop by your RUclips Channel to check the news and because i admire the passion a dedication you put into it. Gratz for your work here and i wish all the best to you. Cheers from Brazil.
Thank you! Cheers from California! Hope you're having fun with whatever you are up to now!
Swtorista: a star wars story
Lovely video!
Thanks Virus!
Wow. An interesting backstory.
A fun fact here: I was watching Star Wars videos one day and a video on this channel popped up. One of your beginers guides for TOR. I was like "What's this?" I watched it and decided "This game looks interesting. I think I'll give it a try."
I actually discovered the game through this channel and ever since I've enjoyed the game and watched your new content every day. Thanks RUclips for putting this channel on my recommended tab like two years ago.Helped me get interested, and involved, in the community for one of the best games I've ever played. Also, your content is great, keep up the good work Swtorista.
Cheers!
@@Swtorista I saw the notification that you replied to my comment and gasped. But then my mind went "Wait. Why am I even surprised anymore?" because literally EVERY TIME I comment you reply XD
Edit: I'm actually playing SWTOR as I'm writing this reply
Kotor 2 was one of my first computer games when i was 8, i loved watching my dad play it so he let me play it, then i hunted down the first kotor which took awhile since they were no longer sold at stores near me as i was late to the party. Then 1 month after turning 12 years old this game released and ive been on and off playing ever since off of my love and passion for the Kotor series and my love for Star Wars.
My dad took me to see the first Star Wars movie for my birthday back in 1977. It was the first movie I ever saw. It planted the seed which eventually led to tabletop RPG's. It sparked my interest in comic books, sci-fi, MMO's and was one of the main reasons why I took shop class in JR High School, and electronics class in high school, the Navy and then I went to school for IT. I am thinking about going to school for heavy diesel mechanics, and or going back into IT.
I am a little bummed because the guild I am part has fell apart. I enjoy your videos. I do enjoy your videos because they are upbeat and entertaining. I hope you have nothing but continued success.
Been in love with Star Wars since i saw the movies. funny story, i never watched any of the movies until Return of the Jedi came out. My High school sweetheart was completely shocked that i never saw the 2 prior movies. Prior to the premier of Return of the Jedi, they started playing the other two movies. Fell in love with the Series ever since. The Movies, Games and such. I still remember my house on Naboo in SWG. The Crafting system in SWG was so good, it killed it for me in other MMO's.
The best experience I've had with online gameplaying was my (fairly brief) stint in a guild in SWTOR. I found a multi-game group with a guild in SWTOR and got about 3 months of fun before the group shut down. My fondest memories are probably FINALLY getting to do a raid, and random voicechats while we all did our own thing.
In general, I'm not too keen on games that REQUIRE co-op play to experience certain story lines or unlock certain items (I am not that great at video games and really worry about letting down teammates, especially in PvE situations where victory is basically expexted.) But my SWOTOR experience wouldn't be the same without it.
Thanks for sharing. The story of you and your husband was heartwarming. I'm not as active in swtor as I once was but seeing your videos is always a treat.
I appreciate you opening up and letting us all in. Enjoyed the video. You are very easy to listen to. Great voice for youtube.
I too met a woman in my guild that I dated for a time. it did not end badly but distance and other issues are real. Glad your in-game romance ended happily.
Thank you ma'am for all you do for our small community.
Cheers!
You are so brave for sharing this absolutely mega story!
First of all I want to say what an amazing and wonderful life story you just shared here with us. Your story captivated me and I could not stop listening to it. I myself have recently found my way back to SWTOR after 6 years. My family and I bought our first home 6 years ago and sadly when we moved we could not get internet except satellite and that was so horrible we just went without it for years. About 3 months ago our phone cell phone company got unlimited hotspot which i recently decided to try this game again and it amazingly worked. I am so stoked. I decided to do a youtube search to see if i could catch myself back up on what i have been missing and relearn the game and came across your videos. Thank you very much they have been an amazing help I hope to run across you and your family in the game and possibly join in on some of the excitement.
Welcome back got the game and wow that was a long break without internet! Cheers to you and your family!
beautiful story :), always amazing to hear stories about how gaming brings people together.
Thank You Swtorista, such a beautiful story to share with us!💜💜💜💜💜💜
Just came back a couple days ago after an extended period away. This game is just amazing. Still the best of the best Star Wars games ever made. It's a far cry from the Galaxies disaster.
I feel you on this. I've always loved the elder scrolls and I adore elder scrolls online.. whenever I don't have to upgrade, grind for, or change my characters builds.. I hate grinding
Thank you very much for sharing all of this, without knowing I was in Remnant of Hope for some months before I have to leave the game because of work.
Swtor is a big part of my life, making great friends and is wonderful to see other people being touched by the game and experience!!!
Aww I loved your Swtor story! It has a fun and interesting beginning with challenges and rewards a long the way 😁👍🏻 and then your adventure really starts to come into its own. I remember when I first heard about SWTOR becoming an online game as well. I created an account and everything. I didn’t have a gaming pc at the time so I couldn’t jump in at launch lol - But back to your adventure I think it’s really cool! In some ways it plays out like a Star Wars movie. There’s angst, discovery, excitement, fear, friendships and ultimately love. ❤️ all the ingredients for a fun and rewarding adventure. But what I find particularly cool, is that your story includes Star Wars. Star Wars is awesome!! 🤣 And when I think about Star Wars there’s always this romantic side to it. A love under the stars if you will. - Wether it’s romantic love Han falling for Leia. Leia falling for Han and then wanting to rescue him (which I think is awesome! I love it when a woman fights for her man) or a love for the fantasy of it all. Star Wars has some really cool locations, and characters. There’s always this really cool sense of discovery with it as well. You can jump into a star ship and go to some place truly magical and fantastic! Haha Do you want to get there fast? We have hyperspace engines!!
I think it’s really cool that your Star Wars Story is also a love story. Congratulations btw! - And on a side note, you got to go to Galaxys Edge?! Super jealous! I hope to go soon. And how can you forget your first holocron find! 🤣 That brings back memories for me. Being on Coruscant and falling repeatedly trying to get a specific holocron haha good times!
Thank you Swtorista for sharing your SWTOR story. It’s a cool story!! Like Obi-Wan Kenobi, you have the “high ground” - where does your story go next? I don’t know. But I have a good feeling about it. 😉
In a way “the Force will be with you, always.”
What a great comment! Thank you Night!
You’re welcome. I’m glad you liked it. - it is pretty cool though. You get to say that you met the love of your life in a Galaxy Far Far Away 👍🏻 haha I think that’s awesome! Maybe someday I’ll be able to say the same. You never know?
Pew pew!
😃It was great seeing you at Celebration. Glad I met you.
When you brought up the guild leader thing about “stealing money from guild bank” it caused me to remember a time when my guild leader, who I trusted, took all the money from guild bank and spent it. Caused the guild to disband and most of the members stopped playing. Found him during a flashpoint on accident after the server merge. When we recognized each other it was a pretty awkward experience.
It's sadly not an uncommon thing.
@@Swtorista Luckily none of my current guilds have done anything like that. Hopefully it was just a one time thing.
What a touching and personal history you had with this game. I'm a huge fan of your videos and,, seeing how you are so personally connected with this game, made all of them even more relevant to me. I believe that great part of SWTOR community, which is a true fan of Lucasfilm and Lucasarts golden eras has some kind of emotional relationship with this great MMORPG. I'm one of those players.
I think you're right on that one. Cheers and thanks for the nice comment!
Geez if you find your husband over this game it's no wonder you still love this game lol
A really great video! Very interesting to find out a little something about the person behind the videos.
I have some very very good memories from my years in swtor but seeing the incredible mass of awesome things and (roleplay) events you mustve been part is just amazing, I love to see how this game is loved this much by people here!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I have been playing since late January, so I am only 5 months in to my SWTOR journey. I want you to know that I truly appreciate all of the advice and new player content that you provide. You have helped me more than you can imagine. I didn't play the game when it first came out because #1 I was a Guild Wars player anxiously waiting for GW2 to come out, and #2 Skyrim came out. When GW2 finally came it's all I played for years. I had heard of SWTOR, but it fell of my radar. I am glad I finally got around to playing, and I am ever so thankful for creators like you who take the time to show us noobs how to play. Thank you.
Oh, neat. I love content that reveals the RUclipsr's history as a gamer and delves into why we have passions for particular games. Good stuff.
Thank you so much for sharing. Also thank you for keeping me posted on one of my favorite games for the last 4 years. May the Force be with you!!!
wow, this game really changed your life
I thought I would hear funny stories about roleplaying and stuff but that was deep
Haha! Yes a pretty involved story! Update.. we recently moved together just the two of us to our first home and he finished college!
Hello from Newfoundland! Love your channel, and even though I thought I was an experienced player you really helped me out.
It’s was really good to be able to hear your story!
Thank you for everything you do, Swtorista.
Hello from Alberta - I mean California!
Wow! That was fantastic! Finally your fans know you better!
What a passionate and unique insight! Thank you for sharing with us and may the force be with you 🙂
Whoa! What a great story! I was rooting for you and the silent smuggler and was happy to hear you were able to make it work! Congrats!
