Off the HoloNet  Star Wars Galaxies in the News

As usual things are very busy around the Star Wars Galaxies offices. The team is working a ton of overtime to get the game ready for its next stage, Beta 3. We should be announcing more information about Beta 3 any day now. We expect to be ramping this final stage of testing up to 50,000 members before the game is done.

Of course when I say “done” I mean “ready for release”. Massively Multiplayer Online games are never considered done, as we will continue to add content and features in post-release updates and expansions. We’re going to have a pretty big game when it hits the shelves, but the Star Wars universe holds many possibilities for growth.

In our closed Beta 2 tests, the testers have been heavily involved in profession and advancement testing. Based on their feedback we’ve been revamping some of the professions to make them more thrilling to play. Additionally they’ve started gathering resources, crafting items and forming player associations. Our next big feature for them to test is battlefields. We look forward to seeing our testers in action. :)

We've added a couple new fan sites to our Community page of the official website. This month we highlight another great Star Wars Galaxies fan site:

Star Wars Lore is an excellent place to find both up-to-the-minute news highlights as well as an extensive archive of concept art, screen shots and information about professions and species. And for those interested in the real details, SWLore features an encyclopedic section listing most every creature, planet, significant character and event in the history of the Star Wars Galaxy.

Although we strongly support the hard work of our fan site community and recommend you visit their sites, please don't forget to make our official site your home. We've always got the latest information and a great community of fans here.
