Not so long ago, in a galaxy not so far away...

Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) announced the eagerly awaited Publish to the popular Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game (MMORG) Star Wars Galaxies

This chapter brings to the game “Epic Encounters” where groups of high level players can fight their way through tough questlines and instances to ultimately defeat characters from the Star Wars Universe.

These include IG88 the robot assassin droid from Empire Strikes Back and Shadows Of The Empire.

Also on her way is Axvka Min a Nightsister from the planet Dathomir.

These Encounters will test the most seasoned players and will give new players something else to strive towards.

This new update is currently on the Star Wars Galaxies Test Centre. The quests Start from the Village of Aurilia, (previously the old Jedi Grinding town) which has had quite a facelift.

Also in this publish is the new Collector system. As well as collecting badges from visiting places and defeating enemies there is a new pictoral interface which improves on the old “List”. This is started by using “C3-PO’s Comlink” that players will receive as an inventory item.

I have had the pleasure of trying this stuff on Test Center and am enjoying again a Game that has been fairly stagnent in current times.

Those of you familiar with *cough* World Of Warcraft *cough* will recognise a new system in Galaxies that allows you to collect “Honour items” from defeating new and old enemies of the Galaxy. These can be used to claim awesome items to raise your skills and character stats as well as decoration for your houses (should you wish to own one).

I, for one am quite excited to see how new and old players alike will embrace this new content. It has given the game a new breath of life in my opinion.

Have fun guys and gals.

And.....

May the force be with you...

Always.
