So a few disclaimers first, most of which you have heard before. We are working with 1 part time/volunteer developer. Though we are moving as fast as possible with the development time and resources available to us, we would much rather roll out a polished product slowly than a bad product quickly. Because of this our target dates should be considered tentative. We may execute projects faster than the target dates or slower, so do not consider them set in stone, though these are real expectations. Though we are making a concerted effort to be more open and transparent, we will not be giving a play by play or publishing a development tracker. Generally anything that has been completed will either be announced on the website or Discord server. If you would like to see our live server code repository to check on the latest commits to live you can do so here.

This thread will be used for the community to discuss and ask questions directly with the CSR/Dev team regarding the above listed items and dates only. Other items should be discussed in another thread. I will be enforcing a strict on topic, no flaming, no shitposting policy in this thread to maintain productivity of the conversation and to keep it moving forward. Please cite what item you are discussing specifically with your posts, and keep it civil. Oh, and remember, we do this because we love this server. We have other concerns and priorities, so if your question or concern is not addressed quickly, be patient and we will get to everyone.

Current Areas of Work Without Completion Estimates:
1. SWGEmu Publish 10 merge coupled with Awakening custom additions - Complete
2. Hotfixes and balance patches for Publish 10 - In Progress
3. Launcher updates and maintenance - ONGOING
4. Developer Recruitment - ONGOING
5. CSi Recruitment Round 2022 - ONGOING

Thank you to all the devs who give up their spare time to do what you do.

Take your time enjoy life and it will come when it comes I say. I have so much still to do in game even after 3 years here.

Will it be nice to see changes and new things sure would I be bothered if there wasn’t no I love it here and will be here until either I pop my clogs or the server does.

Until then if I can assist in anyway just holla.

Enjoy :)

The notes you see there shouldnt be considered final. At least here on Awakening. We will meet as a Team soon, hopefully this week, to discuss changes/tweaks that are not currently included.

When Pub 9 does land could we please have patch notes? They don't have to be in-depth. A short line or couple of words for each change would be nice. In the past there have either been none or we were just referred to EMU, which did not reflect the custom changes for this server.

There have always been patch notes, they have almost always been custom, and color coded.

You should be able to continue using the current version of the launcher for some time. There will come a point though that anyone who is not using our updated launcher may have issues updating and playing the Awakening client. However, we do not have the resources to ensure that any new versions of the launcher are compatible with an OS that hasn't been supported since 2014. If this ever becomes an issue there are other ways to get updated files to our Win XP users, though the method may be less user-friendly.

Completed the launcher update, please refer to our How to Connect page (accessible in the navigation bar) to update to the new launcher. If you have any issues there is a provided launcher troubleshooting page at the bottom, you can also submit a ticket to get support if you need it.
