As promised, there is now a PvP Chat channel for anyone who wants to talk smack in a public channel. This is not a "no holds barred" channel. Players are not free to issue threats against other players or sling racial slurs but can sling as much mud as they would like as long as they don't cross the personal and/or hateful boundaries.

To make sure your brand of trash talk reaches as many people as possible we have added an additional Discord bot that will link the games PvP Chat channel with the #pvp-chat channel in the Awakening Discord.

PvP is a huge part of SWG and we want to promote it as much as possible here on Awakening, but we ask that any of your PvP interactions either to this new channel or to a private channel.

Have fun!

Keep it out of our general chat channel.

We have asked many times in recent weeks to keep the discussions civil. Friendly banter after a good fight is one thing. Attacking and/or degrading another player is crossing the line and we are growing tired of the complaints that the line is being crossed. It also reflects very poorly on our community which has a reputation of being welcoming and helpful to new and returning players. Turning those players away on day one prevents the growth of our server and our staff is busting their asses to get those new players to make Awakening their SWG home. We are working on a proper PvP channel to include in the list of global chats for people to use if they choose to. Until then take the smack talk to a private channel.

Additional Notes:

• Do not attempt to bait another player or cry foul when there is none
• Do not create and/or log in a new character to impersonate a "new player"

Just a reminder that celebrations will begin following the server reset. Please remember to close and reopen the Awakening launcher, otherwise you will be unable to see the gift in your inventory.

We hope to see many of you at the events scheduled throughout the day. May the Fourth be with you!

Server restarts will resume beginning at 8:00 AM Eastern on Monday, April 30th. Going forward the restart will be scheduled to occur on Mondays and Fridays at this time.

We will be bringing the server down to apply an update at 12pm Eastern on April 17th. This is a minor update and only a brief downtime should be expected. Patch notes can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=85&t=10263
