We find ourselves approaching one of the biggest days of the year for Star Wars, May 4^th, Star Wars Day is almost here! Do you know what that means? From the next server restart we will be commencing a weeklong event. The event will be rather similar to how it has run in previous years. We will be giving out two new random May 4th event paintings from the May 4^th 2021 collection per account (put in the inventory of the first character to login after restart). The commemorative badge for May 4^th 2021 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.

To be able to see your newly awarded event paintings after the restart, please make sure to close your launcher and SWG client(s) before logging in, once you have done this, run the launcher. This will force the necessary files to be downloaded for you client to use.

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



To summarise everything that’s guaranteed to be happening during the week:

• Two new event paintings per account (put in the inventory of the first character to login)

• A May 4^th 2021 event badge per character logged in

• Increased XP rate (3x the base rate)

All of these will be available from Monday the 3^rd of May’s scheduled reset, to the following Monday the 10^th of May’s reset. Thank you all for experiencing your SWG adventure with us here at Awakening. We hope you enjoy!

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

One of Santa's elves will handing out gifts at random intervals over the next few days. The gifts will be handed out in Coronet just outside the starport, while he roams around. Each time the Elf is around an announcement will be sent out through the in-game broadcast system.

Just some rules to keep in mind:

The gifts from the elf are strictly limited to ONE per account. You are not to come back with another character to get more. All gifts given out from the elf are logged via account ID, if your ID shows up more than once when I check the log, you'll end up on Santa's naughty list. You don't want that. Bad things happen on the naughty list.

Please move away from the elf once you have received a gift to make it easier to distribute presents.

No PvP around the elf, all should be welcome without the fear of conflict this festive season.

The team wishes everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year! May all of you stay safe during the holidays and have a great time with family, friends and the Awakening community. No matter whether it's by distance or in person.

This year has certainly been a hectic one, here's to hoping for a better 2021!

Thanks for playing with us here at Awakening, we appreciate your loyalty and contributions to our Star Wars galaxy!

I'll be doing some little Elf appearances in-game over the next few days at varying times to give people a little decorative gift. I'll let you know more once I am all sorted to start.
