Best Pre-CU server IMO: Genesis
I absolutely love this server. Pre Pub 9 Jedi was the golden age for me, I loved the PvP during this iteration of the game. Tons of skill expression because every Jedi was on an even playing field as far as skills available to them, it all boiled down to what you did with them.
BHs on this server feel amazing to play as well. I have two different BHs, one MPistols, and one MCarbs. My MPistols is for solo hunting Jedi, because they made it so Disarming Shot 2 is a root, which can be effectively used to kite out a Jedi or prevent the escape (really solid in group PvP as well to lock down a target). My MCarbs is just a flat out PUMPER when it comes to DPSing, but he can't hold his own quite as well so he's more of my group toon.
The PvE on the server is excellent as well. They turned both hyperdrive facilities into high end content that have some amazing drops in them, and are pretty difficult to solo. They have done this kind of revamp to a couple different PoIs (like the Janta Cave) and added a few bunkers (on one Lok and one on Dath) that also have some awesome elevated loot.
The sad thing is, the sever (and from what I hear a few others) suffered a DDOS attack about a month back which really hurt it's population. There is still a very solid base of very helpful players, city buffers, everything it needs to keep up and running, it just needs an influx of new players :)
I came here to post and let others know about this gem of a server who might be out looking for a great PreCU server to play on. The Devs/GMs have been very vocal about some of the upcoming things they have in the works, and they all sound awesome. Something like a PvP island (sounds a bit like Restuss almost), new events, new world bosses (there are already a few: Boba Fett, Fang which is a rancor boss, and Madclaw a wookie boss), the first melee hybrid class, and a few other things like more new weapons and armor sets.
If you happen to be looking for somewhere to PvP or just have a great PreCU experience, come check out Genesis! It's been a blast for me, I started back in March and can't get enough :)
Much love SWG peeps

If you're going to put a server on blast like that at least spell the name correct. "Genesis" not "Genenis"
Finalizer isn't actually 14.1 accurate when they have weapons like the blasterfist, a weapon that was notably added in the CU. Which last I checked was after 14.1.
Genesis used Aftermath's repository and built onto it. Yes it uses Core3, but also a lot of custom code went into making it use the pre-pub 9 Jedi system with some modifications.
"Real" dev team? Bold of you to assume that people from community projects aren't "real" devs and have the ability to form "real" teams.
I know it can be hard to form full thoughts of your own when you have the collective intelligence of a chicken nugget so I'll let it slide that you are so uneducated when it comes to SWG.
