  • Veteran Rewards: Future Possibilities
  • Mounts Unleashed
  • Loot Revamp


    Veteran rewards allows us to offer players benefits for their investment in the Star Wars Galaxies Universe. The intent of the Veteran Reward program is so we can show appreciation to players who have been a part of the Star Wars Galaxies experience by offering them a selection of rewards. (To see the details of the program, click here.)

    We would like to know what kind of rewards would interest you in the future. Some of the rewards we are thinking about for 24 months or more are:

    For the Field:
    AT-PT vehicle, No-maintenance vehicle, No-maintenance house

    For the home:
    Unique bunker house 1, Unique Bunker House 2

    For Fun:
    (Miniature Replicas) AT-AT & AT-ST, Star Destroyer & Corellian Corvette
    Have any great ideas or suggestions for Vet Rewards? Tell us about them!

    In Concept: Mounts Unleashed

    We want to bring mounts to a whole new level of functionality and would like your feedback on changes you would like to see take place.

    Please be descriptive and give bullet points for responses.

    Some examples we are thinking of doing are:

    • Areatrack while mounted

    In Concept: Loot System Enhancement

    Everybody loves loot! In Star Wars Galaxies however, putting loot in the game is trickier than laying out a level or a dungeon and sticking cool items in there for players to discover and battle for. With SWG being built on a player economy, many kinds of loot can undercut crafters and hurt the virtual economy. Even still, everybody loves loot and we need a different loot solution for SWG. As it turns out, the team has been working towards enhancing the loot system. Here are the high level ideas for a loot revamp:

    • Predictability
    • Level Appropriate Loot
    • Slot Machine wins
    • Stackable Loot
    • More Loot Kits
    • Don't negatively impact the economy
    • Crafters vs. Loot
    • More Perishable / disposable loot
    • Add more contextual loot
