On Tuesday, August 14th at 3:00 a.m. GMT, all European galaxies will be taken down in order to conduct hardware server maintenance. This will require an extended downtime of approximately half a day or longer for the Chimaera, Farstar, and Infinity galaxies. We apologize for the inconvenience this extended downtime may cause, and any interruption of service players may experience while we perform this required maintenance.

Everyone talked about the importance of Chapter 6. With new content and the addition of the Beast master skill tree, many players old and new logged in to check these new and exciting features.

10 updates later, Chapter 6 didn't fail to deliver on it's promises. The next question is - 'how can they improve on chapter 6?' - with Chapter 7! New items, new races, and brand new artwork, heroic mob, species traits and much much more are all coming to the game.

SWG Warcry returned from the recent SOE Fan Faire armed with a brand new featurette video. Its amazing to think what IS coming to Galaxies and the hard work put into it by the dev team. You can join the debate on Chapter 7 by visiting this forum thread.

On Thursday, August 9th at 4:00 AM PDT all U.S. and European galaxies will be taken down for server maintenance and a live update.

When the update is complete, all galaxies will be live but unavailable while we complete final testing. All galaxies will be made available after that time.

Player Cities:

Fixed an issue with citizenship that caused a deleted character with a declared residence inside city limits to not be removed from the city's citizenship list during the next galaxy restart after the character was deleted.
Player Associations:

Fixed a bug with the Guild Enemies List not updating the correct guild when selected.
Traders:

Corrected an issue that prevented a socket from being applied to Mandalorian Gloves.
Corrected an issue with the socket chance formula that caused sockets to be applied more often then they should.
Corrected an issue preventing Mandalorian Belts from being made with a socket.
Beasts:

Beasts in defensive mode should respond to their master being attacked.
Beasts should always run when following a target other than their master.
Beasts should move to the next target directly attacking their master.

A little later than planned but here are the site updates. This week, we visit the Bria server for the Player Spotlight, whilst our little green alien puts pen to paper and rants on about beating Julios torres with a stick, the SOE fan faire, and feels sorry for the new Senate members.

In addition to that, we have added a useful guide on Player camps. How to make them and what they are. Enjoy!

just testing that this appears only on infinity
