Awakening 7 Year Anniversary Celebrations
Posted: Tue Oct 26, 2021 3:26 pm
G'day Awakening,
We are fast approaching being another year older as a community, Awakening will officially be 7 years old on November 8th! We continue to provide an escape from the pandemic for many of our players this year and most importantly a stable and inviting place to relive SWG Pre-CU! Thank you all, for continuing to be a welcoming and helpful community.
To celebrate the 7 years we have been voyaging through this galaxy as a community, we will be having the usual weekend long festivities (Restart on the 5th – Restart on the 8th). The event will include a commemorative set of paintings, XP bonus and a celebratory badge for your characters. There will also be numerous other events.
This is how the weekend’s celebrations will work:
We, as a staff team would like to thank everyone for helping us make it to 7 years of continuous operation, whether that be as a player or as a staff member. Without all of you Awakening wouldn't be here 7 years on from its inception. We look forward to whatever may lie before us in the years ahead! We hope to have you all along for the ride with us!

This is how the weekend’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 5th of November (this mechanism will be on until the next server restart).
- A special commemorative badge will be awarded to each toon logged in between the usual scheduled restarts on the 5th and 8th.
- 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% (base, plus the on-going bonus due to COVID), to 3x or 300% of the base value.
- Three lotteries will be initiated at some stage over the weekend, and be drawn in one week’s time from the start date. A staff member will announce when they are placed and their location.
