Unread post Awakening 10 Year Anniversary Celebrations!


Hello Awakening,

Happy 10th Anniversary to SWG Awakening (wow, we're old)! Over the past decade, we’ve built an incredible, tight-knit community dedicated to preserving the magic of Pre-CU Star Wars Galaxies. Along our 10 year history, Awakening has successfully brought players together in the galaxy we all love. We have had well in excess of 10,000 accounts login to our live play server and contribute to our little slice of the universe. To every player, staff member, and supporter (past and present) – thank you for allowing us to keep this world alive! Here’s to many more years of exploring, battling, and creating memories together. May the Force be with us all!

Awakening will officially be 10 years old on November 8th! We will be having the following week long festivities to commemorate the occassion (from restart on Monday the 4th of November to restart on Monday the 11th). The event will include a commemorative set of paintings, XP bonus and a celebratory badge for your characters. The ECs also plan to make themselves available to run some events throughout the week.

This is how the week's celebrations will work:
  • Two random paintings from the commemorative collection will be awarded to the first toon on your account to login after the scheduled server restart on the 4th of November (this mechanism will be on until the restart on the 11th November).
  • A special commemorative badge will be awarded to each toon logged in between the usual scheduled restarts on the 4th and 11th.
  • All experience gained will be doubled (from the base rate of 1x or 100%) for the period between scheduled restarts, this means that the experience gains will be increased from their current level of 200%, to 3x or 300% of the base value.
  • Numerous live and long-running events will also be held.

The Current Results & Hints for the events below can be found here: Hints & Results

  • Imperial Investigation (Scavenger Hunt Style Event)
    After 4 year of investigation of the notorious Rogue Chiss Faction, the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) finally managed to locate their repair facility on Dantooine. Long suspected for passing off of their counterfeit repair tools as the best quality materials, the extensive collection of substandard tools and equipment has been confiscated & destroyed. In the process of the raid on Dantooine however, several members of the Rogue Chiss Faction have escaped Imperial detention. The ISB hereby calls on all loyal citizens of the Empire to assist in the acquiring the current location of these Rogue Chiss operatives.

    It is rumored that some small amounts of counterfeit Rogue Chiss repair tools may have be lost in transport to the ISB facilities on Naboo. Any Loyal Citizen of the Empire who finds and collects all 3 (Armor, Clothing & Weapon) of these counterfeit repair tools, crafted by Rogue, will be recognized by the Empire for their diligent efforts. Simply submit the 3 counterfeit repair tools in a single bag, named after yourself, to our Agent Vendor in the Rogue OutPost on Naboo. (See Hidden Prize Box Event)

    How it works; on Monday after reset the first 4 Rogue Chiss NPCs will be placed at an undisclosed locations throughout the galaxy. A second batch of 4 RogueChiss will be spawned in around 2000 Monday. Minor prizes are to be awarded to the first player to in-game mail Rogue the waypoint (X, Y and Z coordinates & planet name) for each of the 8 NPCs. The grand prize for the first person to in-game mail Rogue all 8 Waypoints (X, Y and Z coordinates & planet name). There will be a sample of the type of NPC you are looking for on display in a merchant tent in the Rogue Outpost.
    Example of email submission: Sample RogueChiss -993, 6, -5579 Naboo
    Grand prize entry must include all 8 waypoints in one email!

    Prizes will be awarded as follows:
    • A minor prize for the first character to find each NPC (one prize per NPC) and in-game mail Rogue its location
      • Limit of one minor prize per account
      • Minor prizes are a Lesser Prize Token
      • Collection of Repair Tools Crafted by Rogue & The Good Samaritan Accolade Badge.
    • Grand prize for the first player to find and in-game mail Rogue the correct location of all 8 NPCs (player's choice of a rare vehicle from the list below). Grand prize entry must include all 8 waypoints.
      • BARC Speeder
      • Imperial BARC Speeder
      • Rebel BARC Speeder
      • AB-1 Landspeeder
      • Desert Skiff/Transport Skiff
      • Mustafar Lava Skiff
      • Tantive-IV Landspeeder
      • USV-5 Landspeeder
      • V-35 Landspeeder
      • XP-38 Landspeeder
    • Every participant who submits all 8 NPC locations correctly before the scheduled restart on the 11th will receive an accolade badge on their chosen character
  • Crafting Event
    The Rogue Outpost Chamber of Commerce (ROCC) requires your assistance in acquiring the following items to assist in preparation for the celebrations.

    How it works; starting around 08:00 after reset Monday, the Event Coordination staff will announce the first of 8 crafting items* to be created or resources gathered, and to be dropped off at a vendor located in the Rogue Outpost (-1020 -5572 Naboo). The final item must be crafted by the character submitting the entry (component pieces may be made by others, but must still meet any requirements requested). Items will be announced every 12-36 hours, until all 8 items have been listed, around 20:00 on Saturday. In order to ensure accuracy and to make things easier to track, only entries dropped off to the vendor will be accepted as valid. The time remaining on the vendor offering will be used to determine who was first to submit each item.

    *Crafting items will only need a skill level of Master Artisan or lower, the name of the item (and or subcomponents) will need to meet that which was specified by the Event Coordination staff, to prevent submission of items produced prior to the event.

    Prizes will be awarded as follows:
    • A minor prize for the first character to submit the item to the vendor (one prize per revealed item).
      • Limit of one minor prize per account to give all people a go at winning prizes
      • Minor prizes are a Lesser Prize Token
    • Grand prize for the first player to submit all 8 items to the vendor.
      • First to get all 8 in will win the grand prize, time remaining on the final of the 8 items to be submitted by any character will be used to determine the fastest.
      • The grand prize is a resource deed as awarded through the veteran rewards system.
    • Every participant who submits all 8 items before the scheduled restart on the 11th will receive an accolade badge on their crafting character.
  • Hidden Prize Boxes
    Once per day, Rogue or Koorlbardi will hide a single prize box (the treasure chests available for rent from the NPC Event Coordinators for reference). Inside theses boxes (8 total) will be placed a single Lesser Prize Token as well as a limited selection of the missing counterfeit Rogue Chiss Repair Tools for the collection badge quest. These boxes will be free-for-all, first come, first serve (they are limited to 1 item per character, the repair tool badge reward will only be granted once per account) They will expire 24 hours after placement, and they will not be replaced if they expire before they are found.

  • Galactic Home Show
    As you should know by this time, the Galactic Home Show event has been running since September. For details, see this post

    All players shall have the entire month of October to decorate their houses, and your houses may be PRIVATE for that month if you wish, but approximately Sunday the 3rd of November 2024, the staff will switch all entered houses PUBLIC, and they shall be public for the remainder of the month of November to permit the entire community time to observe and judge the houses.

    The Judging for the Galactic Home Show will be opened via a Forum Post on or about sever reset on the 4th of November, 2024.
  • Live Events
    • DWB Jetpack and Mandalorian Helmet Run
      At 2100 EST Saturday 9th of November 2024, the Event Staff will gather a group in an attempt to craft a Jetpack in the Death Watch Bunker. Staff will provide the parts for the Jetpack & a Droid Engineer/Master Artisan, but NO FURTHER STAFF ASSISTANCE/DIRECTION WILL BE PROVIDED. It shall be up to the community to come together to accomplish this and figure out how to survive the attempt, as well as provide the team members required. On the Awakening server, the DWB is a challenging place to be, so this will require some conversation among the community, and the correct group mix, doctor & medics are a must. Again, no Staff intervention will be provided. If the group is successful, the resulting Jetpack will be awarded to the survivor of a round of Dice of Death!

      If the Jetpack group is successful, a second run will be attempted to craft a Mandalorian Helmet. The staff will provide the parts and the required crafting professions, but it is up to the group to know how to run down to the correct room to actually craft the Helmet. Again, no Staff intervention will be provided. If this group is successful, the resulting Mandalorian Helmet will be awarded to the survivor of a round of Dice of Death!


    • Other Events
      As always, the Event Coordination staff will be hosting various live events throughout the celebration (as time permits), we hope to see you out there battling the forces of the galaxy!

Reminder, to be eligible to get the anniversary rewards (badge and paintings) you will need to restart all Awakening clients and the launcher if you have both open, after the Monday, November 4th restart. This is so the updated client file downloads to your Awakening install.

All events (their details, rules and/or prizes) for the 10th anniversary celebrations are subject to change, we will endeavor to advise players of any changes should they arise.

All times in this post are using United States Eastern Standard Time.

Important Notice: Time zones can be tricky, and to make it even more interesting, our server time (US Eastern) will go from Eastern US Daylight Savings time (EDT) to Eastern US Standard time (EST) on Sunday the 3rd of November at 02:00. Please keep this change in mind when planning how you would like to partake in the anniversary events. As always, you can google the current time in New York City, USA if you wish to get a comparison for your location, just remember to adjust for any differences in Day Light Savings settings!

May the Force be with you,

SWG Awakening Staff Team

Unread post Star Wars Day 2024


Woohoo May 4th is here!

We will be conducting a server restart to enable the Awakening event system from a server restart on Friday the 3rd of May through until the following Friday (restart times are estimated to be at around 12 am AEST May 4th, 10 am EDT May 3rd , a minimum of 30 minute warning will be provided prior to bringing the server down). We will be giving players a chance to get two random event paintings. These will be able to be redeemed once per account (put in the inventory of the first character to login after restart). The commemorative badge for May 4th 2024 will be awarded to each character that is logged in during the event. Like usual there will also be boosted XP during the event, this will be equal to three (3) times the base server XP rate, keeping in mind we are currently in two (2) times boosted XP mode at the moment.

The Event team is planning on holding:
  • A NPC Scavenger hunt for a prize of a Rare Vehicle
  • A 24-hour Scavenger Box Hunt for Minor Tokens
  • A Major Token Lottery
Details for the above events are listed here.

There may be additional spontaneous/semi-spontaneous events being held throughout the week. The occurrence of these is solely based on the availability of our volunteer Event Coordination team members.

Image

To summarise everything that’s guaranteed to be happening during the week:
  • Two random May 4th event paintings per account (put in the inventory of the first character to login)
  • A May 4th 2024 event badge per character logged in
  • Increased XP rate (3x the base rate)
All of these will be available from Friday the 3rd of May’s ad hoc reset, to the following Friday's ad hoc reset.

Thank you all for playing SWG with us on Awakening. We hope you enjoy!

The staff team wishes you a happy Star Wars Day, May the 4th be with you all!

What is Wookiee Life Day?
Wookiees have a primitive patriarchy with a complicated lineage structure, initiation rites, and a religion that rejects materialism. One of the most important Wookiee customs is Life Day, wherein extended Wookiee families gather and celebrate a day of joy and harmony, as promised by the Tree of Life. Even the Imperial blockade that is stationed around their enslaved home world could not keep Wookiees from recognizing this most important day.Image
Image
An Artist Rendition of the Tree of Life

Wookiees greatly value morality, courage, compassion and loyalty. A sacred and ancient Wookiee tradition is that of the honor family. An honor family comprises a Wookiee's closest friends and companions. These family members pledge a commitment to lay down their lives for one another, as well as members of any honor families these individuals may have.

The celebration known as Life Day is a celebration that is usually held at the Tree of Life on Kashyyyk, but because the Wookiee's are enslaved by the Empire and they have traveled to many places in the galaxy, they have held their holiday wherever they were and have invited their non-Wookiee friends to be a part of their celebration of life as part of their honor family. Originally, the celebration is held once every three years, but as the joyous holiday has spread through the galaxy, many species and cultures hold the celebration once a year.

Being a Part of Life Day
ImageLife Day is upon us. Traditionally celebrated on the Wookiee home world Kashyyyk, Life Day is a time to reflect on the renewal of life and to remember those who have passed on. In recent years Life Day traditions have been adopted by many species across the galaxy. Wookiees will often brave adverse conditions to make it home for this holiday, as it is an important time for family bonding and thankfulness. Life Day has become increasingly important to Wookiees since the Imperials have enslaved many of their kind.

Player's are encouraged to celebrate Life Day during the month of December and early January (see our Player Events page to learn how you can host an event with staff assistance).
Image
Image
Where to find the Life Day Wookiee
Originally celebrated on the Wookiee home world of Kashyyyk, Life Day has spread throughout the galaxy. Those who wish to learn more should head to Vreni Island (Corellia), the Lake Retreat (Naboo) or Anchorhead (Tatooine) where you'll find a friendly Wookiee in a red robe who will tell you more about the holiday. Beings that have been part of the community for more than thirty days will be given a Life Day gift to honor this special time.
