Hi all, the Awakening Live server is online.

Thanks again for your patience today!

We required a very small rollback to one of our automatic database backups. Approximately 1 hour of data will be rolled back on the server. To accommodate for any lost experience and as an apology for the down time, the server will be on 3x XP until the scheduled restart on Monday.

If anyone notices any issues, besides the rollback of player data, please create a ticket via Discord.

Hi all, following a server crash at approximately 6:50pm EST, the server has gotten stuck in a reboot loop.

I am currently at work (for the next 8 hours) and don't have access to look into the issue to resolve it. We will either have to wait until I get home or Dirge becomes available to look into it so we can work on a resolution.

We'll keep you updated on any progress. Thanks for your patience!

Woohoo May 4^th is here!

We will be conducting a server restart to enable the Awakening event system from a server restart on Friday the 3^rd 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 4^th 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.



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 4^th 2024 event badge per character logged in

• Increased XP rate (3x the base rate)

All of these will be available from Friday the 3^rd 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 4^th 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.

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

Life 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).

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. Life Day Lore
