Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

Decorating Player Cities also received a boost in Update 8.  Cities received a 50% increase in the number of Decorations, Civic Structures and Gardens that can be placed.  New Statues, Gardens and Fountains were also added to increase a Mayor’s decorating options.  

Another popular addition gives Storyteller Items an eight hour increase in longevity just for being placed inside of a Player City.  If you think you’ll need more time, speak with the Mayor about the Encore Performance Specialization that increases the time by an additional 12 hours.

There’s a lot more to Update 8 than just what is described here, including a full Player Association revamp.  Be sure to check out the full list of official changes on the Star Wars Galaxies Forums. Or better yet, log into the game and check them out for yourself.

I want to give a BIG “thank you” to the Player City community!  They quickly took me in and made me feel at home.  Last, but not least, many thanks to Cigaran, the Player City Senator.  Without that long list of things to do, and the promises of free dinners at Fan Faire, Update 8 wouldn’t have been the same!
 
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to start my new City!

Game Update 9 will introduce new customized housing tools which build on the already robust housing options in Star Wars Galaxies. There will be two brand new floor plans and a new housing customization tool which lets you to choose custom colors for your abode. Six existing house designs have also been updated with the addition of windows that allow you to see the action from within the protection of your structure.  In addition to the housing customization additions, Domestics Traders and Structures Traders have been given a stimulus update and several spaceships have received tune-ups that would make any pilot proud!
