Star Wars Galaxies: Q & A's July 28th

Brand new Q&A for you from Q-3PO!

How long will my character be saved if I cancel my account?

Currently the answer is 5 days. Our intention is to have it be for at least a month or more, but that won't be changing in the near future. As many of you know, every character in SWG takes up an order of magnitude more database space than other MMOs. That is because we have so many unique variables per character (millions of character customization possibilities, every player made object having several unique attributes, large storage space in banks and houses, etc.). When we have a solution worked out for saving these characters longer, I'll let you know. Believe me, we want to save these characters. There are a significant number of people who, after leaving an MMO, will return at a later time if their character is intact still.

You know you want more...
But this is not all! Q-3PO came back to the Official Dev Board with more shiny answers! (just scroll down a bit)
