Hi all, with the imminent release of The Mandalorian season 2, please do not talk about spoilers openly on any of our services (forums, game, Discord, etc). The only place that discussion of the episodes will be allowed, for the first two weeks after the release of any episode is in #mandalorian-spoilers on Discord (flagged as NSFW temporarily). Posting about the episodes is also allowed on the forums but must be contained within a topic that is very clearly marked with "SPOILERS" in the title. This is to allow everyone a decent chance to watch each episode as it is released without having aspects of it spoiled for them, thank you for your understanding.

Hello valued community member,

We have pushed out a long overdue major update to our main Rules and Policies listing, which is posted on the forums and is publically accessible. To most of you this won't effect the way you currently conduct yourself on any of our platforms and services in the slightest. However, it is very important that you take the time to read through the update and familiarise yourself with the rules and policies as they currently stand after the update. Ignorance is not an excuse with regards to not having followed them if you are caught in breach of any aspect of them.

As with all things new, the update may undergo further revisions in the following days and weeks. This will mostly be to correct any typos, grammar or bad wording that is identified (if any is identified at all).

If you have any questions or concerns please open a ticket or send an email to admin@swgawakening.com (expect slower response times via the email)

Just a reminder to everyone. Awakening relies on donations to cover operational costs. This is because we do not and cannot generate a commercial revenue stream to keep the lights on, as a requirement of keeping the operation of the emulator legal.

I know that money is tight for a lot of people right now, but if you have a few dollars you can spare, please contemplate putting some towards keeping Awakening going. I've put in $40 USD this month, and often chuck in some every other month. Any donations are appreciated no matter how big or small! Even if you can't donate, just helping out new players, making them feel welcome, and being a positive community member is great for the server as well.

Thanks for playing SWG with us here at Awakening, and making this community a great one!

Further donation information and the button to process a donation can be found here.

Hello players of Awakening,

Over the past few years we have been rather relaxed in auditing existing, unauthorised multi-accounts in the same household. This is going to change; we are going to begin combing over the logs for these and enforcing the policy once more. This is not to stop people from playing here. We want people to play here, however it needs to be done so fairly, so everyone has equal footing in-game (afterall, one account does already allow 10 characters). One of Awakening’s goals is providing a stable play server for all our members to enjoy, without risk of data loss. However, if you breech our multi-account rule and are caught doing so without authorisation, we will be taking action.

To remind everyone about the rule we have in place that encompasses multi-accounting, here it is, rule number 1 for the server:

1) We allow one game account per household. Each account provides 10 character slots & up to 2 characters online at the same time. Exceptions are occasionally made for family, roommates, and others living in the same household (they will be dealt with on case by case basis). If you wish to request an additional account for another person in your household, please submit a ticket and wait for approval. Do not create multiple accounts without prior approval from Awakening Staff. You run the risk of having your account(s) suspended or banned if you do so. These accounts are for other real people in the same household that are active behind the keyboard, not for one person to run multiple accounts.

Another thing to note, the rule for multiple accounts in the same household even encompasses temporary residency for things like LAN parties or visiting a friend, we expect a ticket to be submitted. The process is simple and easy to complete if you are being honest about your situation.

If you have more than one account being used in the same household, whether that be another person owning the account, or you, disregarding the one account per person rule. We urge you to come forward and submit a ticket about the issue before we find you with multiple unauthorised accounts in the same household. We will handle the situation accordingly. However, if you do not come forward, you risk having the accounts suspended or banned, pending investigation into the nature of the multiple accounts. Further creation of unauthorised multiple accounts could incur more severe action.

If you are unsure if the multiple accounts in your household are authorised you are better off submitting a ticket just in case, we much rather let you know if you are already authorised rather than having to suspend or ban your account further down the line. If you submitted your multi-account request prior to 2019 it is advised you resubmit your multi-account request. Some records before this time are incomplete due to the handover in administration.

Thank you all for choosing to play at SWG Awakening, we hope to see you around for many more years to come!
