Heh. My friend Dan is known as Atren on his SWG server. He has maxed out his statistics as a weapons maker, and is one of the richest people in the server. He's part of a guild called "HVND" and he actually funded his guild's own city. They have a military base and he has several weapons factories.
I imagine in the Jump to Lightspeed pack he was the first to own any of the more expensive add-ons, but regardless. He is so well known that when his brother got the game, he went into the same server and was looking for him. He thought he was in the right area so he asked where he could find "Atren". One dude was like, "Wow...you know Atren...?"
That part about the soloing does kind of suck. What I want to do is emulate this technique I used to use in Warcraft III that I called "Caravan of Pain." I want to build a triumphant horde army and crush all who stand in my way...*****es.
