Naturally, the Player Spotlight area has been updated with a new player (is it you?! and our little green friend, has jumped on to this soap box and rants on about changing professions, the new Chapter 7 debates and welcome Grey Pawn to the community with open arms - but who shoot first?

Our friends over at SWG.Warcry have gotten down to business with new SWG Community Manager, Joe Pishgar . We get to find out more about the man behind the avatar!

Snippet -
Warcry: Star Wars Galaxies has been out for four years, giving it a bit of elder status in the MMO world. How does it feel to be the rookie on such a well-established team?

GreyPawn: At first, intimidating. But I was pleasantly surprised to find out truly how much this development team cares about the community and the issues brought forth by the players. These guys are seriously looking out for the players' best interests and taking all community feedback into consideration.

Today we have updated our Rodian Rants column - did you miss him last week? Well, this weeks edition will make up for it as Superfurry talks about Rodians in underwear and his take on how the game should change. There is a totally fantastic short movie to go with it. Never seen 60 Rodians in underwear taking on a Krayt dragon? Check the column out now!

Plus, we have an exclusive Q&A coming with the Galaxies dev team regarding Chapter 7 and you can take part by submitting your question in our forum. Player Spotlight and a new Galactic Civil war guide have all been added, as has the poll. Enjoy!

GreyPawn has just posted the following

Hello everyone -

Customer Service would like to give the crafting community a quick update on the Mandalorian armor issue they have been assisting players with over the last few months. Previously, CS would replace a piece of Mandalorian armor that did not have a socket with a new schematic so that the crafter could try again.

After in-depth discussions with the Dev Team, CS has been informed that the lack of socket was indeed by design. Even a master crafter with all of the food buffs will still have a very small chance of failing to get a good enough assembly success during crafting to produce an item with a socket. Although this will be extremely rare for maxed-out crafters, this scenario is something CS will no longer assist the crafting community with - as it is part of the intended game experience.

BlixTev has posted some more information about Chapter 7

Now that our BugBash is out on Test I'd like to chat with everyone on more details on the content and systems we have started working on for Chapter 7. We have already mentioned the big bullet points a few times, Heroic Encounters, and Collections. However I haven't delved to much into what each means.
