Star Wars Galaxies rogue server SWG Legends teases housing packup, Halloween, droid engineer love, and Jedi Themepark p2

Star Wars Galaxies is not dead,” says rogue server SWG Legends. “It is here and now, filled with our friends, family, and the fun of living in a galaxy that is not far away but here at our fingertips.” So begins the game’s latest community transmission, which hastens to recap the recent SOEclipse celebration – the precise moment when SWG Legends lived longer than the original game – and how the in-game event shattered every imaginable record for the MMO. We covered it in-depth right here.

But if you lived through all that, you’re now looking ahead to what comes next, and the blog has that too:

  • A new housing packup event is apparently en route in the near future; as always, players will be able to sweep the game world and target abandoned buildings (flagged based on the owner’s last login) for packup. Don’t worry; your houses go into your datapad, not the dumpster.
  • The Galactic Moon Festival – aka Halloween – is on deck for October.
  • There’s a tease about how “droids have gotten free from their restraining bolts” and appear to be shooting and riding a BARC speeder, plus a tease about commands. Really, droid engineering can use all the help it can get, but we’re not getting specifics yet.
  • The team is promising continuing expansion for Jabba’s Palace thanks to “new tools and techniques” that generate “efficiencies in creating new structures” for content.
  • Jedi Themepark part II is now in QA testing, plus the devs are still working on multi-faction ground battlegrounds, world bosses, client performance upgrades, and the long list of player senate requests.

And in the Q&A section, the devs seem to be saying that new ship schematics will be used to “incentivize space combat” rather than be given to shipwrights for crafting, which is definitely a bummer since that’s pretty far from the original intent of the game’s design (not to mention, not a mutually exclusive concept). Awww.
