Hello Folks,

All Galaxies will be down for an extended maintenance cycle tomorrow morning Thursday, October 21st. These servers will be down for a total downtime of approximately 6 hours. When each maintenance cycle is complete, the galaxy will come up as normal.




This is the JtL code (although JTL will not be enabled until next week) and everyone will be downloading a lot of information for all the shared changes and assets for the Jump to Lightspeed expansion.? Some things to consider for tomorrow:

We will be pushing out a large patch so please be patient. We strongly encourage you to enable the "Bits technology" to shorten the download times.

For those members of our community who purchased the pre-order JTL, your Flash Speeder will be available next week on October 27th (Please note that you must have purchased JTL and input your key code)

For those members of our community who have earned the Sorosuub 3000 Luxury Yacht, this will also be available next week on October 27th (Please note that you must have purchased JTL and input your key code)

Also, for everyone, don't forget to try the new emotes, tailors will have new wearables and there will be many positive new changes to the game.? Get out there and explore the galaxy!
Please note that we are pushing a tremendous amount of new code out to you, of which only a limited portion will be available until we launch JTL. There will likely be some issues with the ground game that we will need to fix. If you find any issues, please post them in our Ground Regressions Thread. We will also post a Known Issues list so you know we are aware of them.



Mail Purge Reminder!

We are making changes to the in-game email system to greatly improve its speed and stability. Mail that is older than 6 months and mail that is longer than 4096 characters will be deleted from your mailbox on Monday. Please use the /mailsave command to save any email you want to keep.

How to save your in-game email on your hard drive

There is a "mail save" command that will save your in-game email to your hard drive. This is handy if you are a crafter with a lot of email or a player who runs a lot of events and has to manage a lot of email.

In-game, simply type: /mailsave

After you enter the command, the computer will prompt you to wait for a moment while it saves the mail to your hard drive. When it is complete, it will give you a message in your chat window that notifies you what directory the mail has been saved to. Then, later on, you can access the mail by using the explorer to browse to the following sample directory:

C:\Program Files\StarWarsGalaxies\profiles\Your station name\galaxy you play on\mail_your character name

Inside the last folder will be all of your mail saved as a *.mail file.

If you have never opened a *.mail file, your computer will ask you to find a program to open the file with after you double-click the file. You can use a text notepad to read the files.

Also note that in the same window, there will be a checkbox asking you if you ALWAYS want to open the mail files with a notepad or other type text program. If you choose, "yes", you will be able to double-click on any mail in your mail directory to open it with your notepad. If you choose "no", you will have to browse for the application to open the mail file each time you double click on the file.

Make sure to choose what works best for you.

[Skarr]

yeah I'm about 2/3's done and on a filename "patch_11", so you're prolly right

[Dwilah]

I guess I should do something like preorder JtL or something.

This just reminded me of something. Has anyone noticed on the new launchpad at the top after you log in there is a dropdown where you can select your character (more if you have characters on other servers as well) and you will automatically login instead of going to the character select screen? Dwilah showed me this a few days ago, its kind of nice.

Except me, I love you.

[TramelRaggs]

Yeah Seret, it's been there since launch. Usually if you would have rushed to hit play, you would have never seen it. It was on the other side of the old launch pad and said "No Selection"

Oh, here's another addition with the new huge JTL download, though. If you hit the numberlock key, your character will automatically run!

[Seret Sajet]

Anyone else want to rub it in? Got anymore salt?

well I don't know if this is rubbing it in or not, but under games options in the launchpad, you can turn off the intro movie, so you don't have to watch the whole shuttle scene every time or escape out of it every time you log in

That I knew! So how in the hell I have never noticed the select character thing! Someone must die!
