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.
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!
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 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
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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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 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.
Hey! i don't play SWTOR for over 5 years now, but every once and while i drop by your TH-cam 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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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 TH-cam 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
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!
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.
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, 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 :)
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.
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.
This is my new all-time favorite youtube video. Thanks for doing this. If I could give it a million thumbs up, I would. It really made me feel nostalgic for my first MMO (Everquest) and the friendships and relationships that came from it. It was a very formative time in my life. So many things about your SWTOR adventure feel very familiar to me, and I can easily relate to them, and it seems we have a very similar appreciation for the game itself. Thanks again...
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.
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 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 :)
I have not played SWTOR for a long time, due to technical reasons and no money to change them. I may be able to remedy this situation in the next couple of months (I hope). I have been aware of your videos for a long time, sometimes popping in to see what's what. But, with my new hope that I will be able to get a brand new computer that will allow me to play again, I have been DEVOURING your videos! Previously, I only ever got as far as level 8 on a Jedi Consular character and designed a Sith Inquisitor on the F2P (so, I was never able to save my characters or progress in-game). I have been making mental notes about what I want to do with the game, the characters I want to create, the weapons I want eventually, and such (as I plan on buying a 2-month sub to start and then maybe slide back to a Prefered status.) Your videos have been wonderful. And I don't mean this is a bad way at all, but listening to you explain SWTOR is kinda like Bob Ross (Happy Trees!) explaining painting...you make it sound easy, fun, and that even when you screw up (and you will...a lot!!!), you can make this a magical and wonderful place to escape, have fun, meet cool people, and maybe even make a really amazing life. So...Thank you, Swotorista! Thank you so much for your work and dedication to this game. Thank you for your story, and all the best to you and your husband with all of the bite-in-the-butt immigration BS. You are all sorts of awesome! In the words of Obi-wan Kenobi in Episode IV..."The Force will be with you...always!"
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.
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.
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
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 TH-camr 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 TH-cam 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
Damn, that was way more heartwarming than I could've ever imagined. Almost thought it'd be a character lore video (which I wouldn't mind seeing either [unless you've already done one and I've somehow missed it]). Any friends I've gotten have long since disappeared from the game, but your story brought tears to my eyes. The entire video I sat there hoping you'd actually get together and not break it off, lol. Was kinda nerve wracking, but it had a great ending. I remember when TOR Fashion went down. I used that site _all_ the time, and it was really sad. Ever since the redesign it's never functioned fully, at least on my end, with several "similar appearance" pieces only showing a string of text and not links/pictures of the similar items. With that and Dulfy having been AWOL for over a year now, you truly are a Godsend. Or perhaps the will of the Force itself. Either way you're a blessing, and one of the best things about the Old Republic community, Swtorista. I love you, your content, everything you do! Keep up the fantastic work!
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!!!
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
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 love how many learned website design through neopets! It still amazes me how well-written their guides were on the subject, especially for 11 year old me when I really started digging into that stuff. I never personally got into that stuff all that much outside of neopets, but it's definitely come in handy from time to time, and when people ask me where I learned how to do it, I just looove seeing their reaction after I reply "Neopets!"
Thank you!!! I really appreciate you sharing your life and passion for Star Wars, and the way it brings us together. You've made my Star Wars experience richer while opening me up to the idea of making my own videos. My life wouldn't be the same without all you've done. Also, congratulations! It's perfect that you met your husband in the game you love so much. All my best to you both. ~Countsmakula
17:42 Damn! That is a perfect combo. SWTOR desperately needs some weapon appearance customization options. Also, congrats on your story. Very sweet. Loved it. :)
I found your channel back in early 2017. People may originally come for the game or content covered, but they always stay for the person behind it. You do fantastic work. Keep it up :)
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.
Your Story is so hearthwarming! Made my day^^ I hope you guys still have a great time in and out of swtor :D Most people in my german server Arena very old btw, so that weird for me to hear. Didnt think storys like these are possible becouse of that xD
Funny that you mention Kyle Katarn; I distinctly remember playing the opening stage of Dark Forces before going to see the 1997 rerelease of the Original Trilogy. Hours before seeing Episode 4, in fact.
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.
Thanks for sharing your amazing SW journey! If I may, mine began at age 12 where I grew up in Europe (former Yugoslavia, communist country back then). The instant I first saw that Imperial Star Destroyer chasing Leia's Corellian Corvette explode onto the screen at the start of the first movie...it was love at first sight & I was hooked forever! I've been in Australia since I was 4 (other than that brief 3 yr period from 10-13 when I returned to EU), and am still the biggest SW fanboy at heart at almost 55! :) I stopped counting after watching Ep IV 100 times I think...ahem. Don't get into the merch or cons/events so much, and tend to be a solo PvEr mostly, but love all the movies, books and games of course! Thanks for your painstaking & time-consuming content - it's one of the reasons I've gotten back into swtor again after several years break since the 2nd year after release (other than brief F2P spurts here & there). I've even managed to convince my wife who has real troubles with 3D games of any kind to give it a go a couple weeks back & we just did Esseles last night, our first Flashpoint together, and hit level 17 on our commando/gunslinger duo ! :)
This was the sweetest story ever, and thumbs up for the courage to share this with us! And I can very much relate to the sentiment of being introduced to SW via games (I was aware of its existence, but I got introduced and hooked via KOTOR to which I was introduced because of other Bioware RPGs I knew). Otherwise, amazing testimony of your Internet relationship - I have a very similar experience, I think when people get to know each other through talking about things they share a passion for, it is a solid basis for a relationship. Wish you all the best for your future! ❤️
Hello Swtorista, Thank you for sharing ! I can relate to your story genesis : the contact with Star Wars very young, and playing Star Wars games was mostly part of my youth too ! 😁 And congrats for finding someone thanks to Star Wars !
This was easily one of the most heartwarming meeting people online stories I’ve ever heard! Congrats on finding your husband! I remember meeting my best friends ever on Xbox Halo 3 over a decade ago and we’re still friends to this day! Online relationships are truly some of the strongest!
I just recently in the last few years found Kotor which I loved a lot, although I only recently started playing SWTOR this year. I've found your guides so helpful!
Thank you so much to those who pledged on Patreon and encouraged me to spend some time to tell me story.

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 didn't know this was gonna be a love story... Not complaining though! I'm so happy for you, I thought this stuff only happens in fiction.
Thank you! It's a pretty crazy story.
Yup
This story is the reason why so many people love you
I am only halfway through and I already love this amazing story
“This will be a fine addition to my collection.”
No but seriously great video have a like
Thank you Darth :D
Thanks for sharing your Star Wars / Swtor story with us. What a heartwarming story on how you met your husband. Your the best!
Thank you Far Sear its great to finally share this story with you all :)
And people say games are a waste of time. Amazing story!
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.

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.
swtor can thank you for your amazing videos!!
Thank you Maritia!
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
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
Not gonna lie, the story of you meeting your husband was beautiful
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.
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 😀
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!
I guess we'll see where the expansion storyline takes us :)
@@Swtorista Indeed. May the Force be with us and with the creators!
Same for me my first contact with Star Wars was Jedi Knight 2 Jedi outcast, once more Kyle Katarn
*high fives for Kyle Katarn*
A truly great story about a person, a series, & the relation created between the two.
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 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!
I’m playing Swtor right now and these people in chat are talking about how great your videos are when it comes to teaching.
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
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!
I am happy that u found someone to spend your life with swtorista
Thanks Guardian, me too!
Wow, that was... extremely wholesome.
A rare delicacy here on TH-cam
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!
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 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
@Swtorista Wow, amazing how similar our stories are with the pc when we were young and starting out with Dark Forces, etc. Very cool.
jedi knight 2 jedi outcast was my first star wars game and remains one of my favorite games
Awesome history, it's amazing how MMOS bring us unique things in our lives that's why I love this kind of game.
Hey! i don't play SWTOR for over 5 years now, but every once and while i drop by your TH-cam 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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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 TH-cam 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
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 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.
You are so brave for sharing this absolutely mega story!
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!
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 :)
Swtorista: a star wars story
Lovely video!
Thanks Virus!
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!
This is the wholesome type of content I signed up for!
Haha,!
Update, we just celebrated mr Swtorista finishing college today!
That story of how you met your husband is absolutely adorable!
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 😆
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.
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.
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! :)
This is my new all-time favorite youtube video. Thanks for doing this. If I could give it a million thumbs up, I would. It really made me feel nostalgic for my first MMO (Everquest) and the friendships and relationships that came from it. It was a very formative time in my life. So many things about your SWTOR adventure feel very familiar to me, and I can easily relate to them, and it seems we have a very similar appreciation for the game itself. Thanks again...
Cheers! It's crazy how many relationships we can form without ever having met in real life.
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!
Thank you ma'am for all you do for our small community.
Cheers!
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!
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.
beautiful story :), always amazing to hear stories about how gaming brings people together.
I have not played SWTOR for a long time, due to technical reasons and no money to change them. I may be able to remedy this situation in the next couple of months (I hope). I have been aware of your videos for a long time, sometimes popping in to see what's what. But, with my new hope that I will be able to get a brand new computer that will allow me to play again, I have been DEVOURING your videos! Previously, I only ever got as far as level 8 on a Jedi Consular character and designed a Sith Inquisitor on the F2P (so, I was never able to save my characters or progress in-game). I have been making mental notes about what I want to do with the game, the characters I want to create, the weapons I want eventually, and such (as I plan on buying a 2-month sub to start and then maybe slide back to a Prefered status.) Your videos have been wonderful. And I don't mean this is a bad way at all, but listening to you explain SWTOR is kinda like Bob Ross (Happy Trees!) explaining painting...you make it sound easy, fun, and that even when you screw up (and you will...a lot!!!), you can make this a magical and wonderful place to escape, have fun, meet cool people, and maybe even make a really amazing life. So...Thank you, Swotorista! Thank you so much for your work and dedication to this game. Thank you for your story, and all the best to you and your husband with all of the bite-in-the-butt immigration BS. You are all sorts of awesome! In the words of Obi-wan Kenobi in Episode IV..."The Force will be with you...always!"
That's awesome! Good luck on your journey to a new computer... You are enjoying the game the same way we did before it launched! :)
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.
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.
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!
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 TH-camr 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 TH-cam 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!
Damn, that was way more heartwarming than I could've ever imagined. Almost thought it'd be a character lore video (which I wouldn't mind seeing either [unless you've already done one and I've somehow missed it]).
Any friends I've gotten have long since disappeared from the game, but your story brought tears to my eyes. The entire video I sat there hoping you'd actually get together and not break it off, lol. Was kinda nerve wracking, but it had a great ending.
I remember when TOR Fashion went down. I used that site _all_ the time, and it was really sad. Ever since the redesign it's never functioned fully, at least on my end, with several "similar appearance" pieces only showing a string of text and not links/pictures of the similar items. With that and Dulfy having been AWOL for over a year now, you truly are a Godsend. Or perhaps the will of the Force itself.
Either way you're a blessing, and one of the best things about the Old Republic community, Swtorista. I love you, your content, everything you do! Keep up the fantastic work!
A very sweet and charming story. Thanks for sharing your SWTOR story and experiences with us!
Cheers! :)
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!!!
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
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!
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!
I love how many learned website design through neopets! It still amazes me how well-written their guides were on the subject, especially for 11 year old me when I really started digging into that stuff. I never personally got into that stuff all that much outside of neopets, but it's definitely come in handy from time to time, and when people ask me where I learned how to do it, I just looove seeing their reaction after I reply "Neopets!"
Thank you!!! I really appreciate you sharing your life and passion for Star Wars, and the way it brings us together.
You've made my Star Wars experience richer while opening me up to the idea of making my own videos. My life wouldn't be the same without all you've done.
Also, congratulations! It's perfect that you met your husband in the game you love so much. All my best to you both.
~Countsmakula
Thank you Count! I'm really glad to finally share this story!
@@Swtorista Remnants of Hope forever!!! :)
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!
Thank You Swtorista, such a beautiful story to share with us!💜💜💜💜💜💜
17:42 Damn! That is a perfect combo. SWTOR desperately needs some weapon appearance customization options.
Also, congrats on your story. Very sweet. Loved it. :)
Thank you!
I found your channel back in early 2017. People may originally come for the game or content covered, but they always stay for the person behind it. You do fantastic work. Keep it up :)
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.
Your Story is so hearthwarming!
Made my day^^
I hope you guys still have a great time in and out of swtor :D
Most people in my german server Arena very old btw, so that weird for me to hear.
Didnt think storys like these are possible becouse of that xD
Thank you! We still do. Lately we have been gardening and playing Divinity 2 :)
Oh, neat. I love content that reveals the TH-camr's history as a gamer and delves into why we have passions for particular games. Good stuff.
Funny that you mention Kyle Katarn; I distinctly remember playing the opening stage of Dark Forces before going to see the 1997 rerelease of the Original Trilogy. Hours before seeing Episode 4, in fact.
I absolutely loved hearing about your Star Wars journey. Wishing you and your husband all the happiness in the world x
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.
Wow! That was fantastic! Finally your fans know you better!
This gave me even more appreciation for the game and your channel! Thank you
Thanks for sharing your amazing SW journey!
If I may, mine began at age 12 where I grew up in Europe (former Yugoslavia, communist country back then). The instant I first saw that Imperial Star Destroyer chasing Leia's Corellian Corvette explode onto the screen at the start of the first movie...it was love at first sight & I was hooked forever! I've been in Australia since I was 4 (other than that brief 3 yr period from 10-13 when I returned to EU), and am still the biggest SW fanboy at heart at almost 55! :) I stopped counting after watching Ep IV 100 times I think...ahem. Don't get into the merch or cons/events so much, and tend to be a solo PvEr mostly, but love all the movies, books and games of course!
Thanks for your painstaking & time-consuming content - it's one of the reasons I've gotten back into swtor again after several years break since the 2nd year after release (other than brief F2P spurts here & there). I've even managed to convince my wife who has real troubles with 3D games of any kind to give it a go a couple weeks back & we just did Esseles last night, our first Flashpoint together, and hit level 17 on our commando/gunslinger duo ! :)
Great story thanks for sharing!! Glad you and your wife were able to play together!
This was the sweetest story ever, and thumbs up for the courage to share this with us! And I can very much relate to the sentiment of being introduced to SW via games (I was aware of its existence, but I got introduced and hooked via KOTOR to which I was introduced because of other Bioware RPGs I knew). Otherwise, amazing testimony of your Internet relationship - I have a very similar experience, I think when people get to know each other through talking about things they share a passion for, it is a solid basis for a relationship. Wish you all the best for your future! ❤️
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Hello Swtorista,
Thank you for sharing ! I can relate to your story genesis : the contact with Star Wars very young, and playing Star Wars games was mostly part of my youth too ! 😁
And congrats for finding someone thanks to Star Wars !
Thank you!
This was easily one of the most heartwarming meeting people online stories I’ve ever heard! Congrats on finding your husband! I remember meeting my best friends ever on Xbox Halo 3 over a decade ago and we’re still friends to this day! Online relationships are truly some of the strongest!
I just recently in the last few years found Kotor which I loved a lot, although I only recently started playing SWTOR this year. I've found your guides so helpful!
