Better late then never! Here is what was announced Friday.
[LI]Happy Holidays to us! - Inspite of the holiday season, the development team has decided to give us three presents.
1) Free Holocron: Next week, your character will be receiving a special gift in game, a Jedi Holocron. For you who aren't interested in gaining a clue towards your path to the Force, you can always sell it. Be warned, the market for them may drop considerably for a little while.2) Free 7 day trial for friend: Early next week all current Star Wars Galaxies players will have the chance to invite a friend to join them exploring our universe. Players will receive a 7-day subscription key by email to pass along with their PC-CDs to get the invited player started.
3) Wookie Life Day: Player's are encouraged to celebrate Life Day during the month of December and early January (see our player hosted events page). For our part, we have begun to drop Wookiee Life Day Orbs and Wookiee Life Day Robes throughout the galaxies. These ornamental items are typically displayed during the Life Day ceremony. During the initial stage of distribution, we have been dropping numerous orbs in the city halls of those player cities that are registered on the planetary map. The hope is that city mayors will hand them out to residents (or be voted out for being greedy).
Out of the three, the most important is the free holocron. No more 3 million credit holocron sales shall be seen. Is this for better or worst? I guess we will find out early next week!
