Vivox is here, along with a whole LOT of tweaks
After more than a month in test server, Game Update 5 for Star Wars Galaxies is now Live. Servers went down this morning for the patch. Chief among the additions this time around is the in-game voice chat system from Vivox, and imbedded browsers. If you think that's it though, you're wrong.
Other GU5 additions include an entirely revamped weaponsmithing system, the 60-month veteran reward, Beast Master tweaks, UI tweaks, and (of course) the brand new commemorative in-game paintings from the Create A Painting contest. Make sure to visit Navari Trik outside of the Mos Eisley cantina soon - they're only available for a limited time!
For the full patch notes, please check the Star Wars Galaxies forums.
