Hi Folks,
It has been pretty busy around here lately with the start of the new year and the release of Chapter 8 earlier this week but I have finally had a chance to catch my breath and drop the community a note. We are all very excited about C8 and the great response we have had so far. I think the new space content is a very cool addition to the game and we as a team definitely learned a lot in the process. The space game in SWG is very good and I encourage folks who have not done much adventuring in space to definitely give it a try. The Pilot community in Star Wars Galaxies is great and definitely willing to help out folks who do not have a lot of experience in The Deep...Of course they are also quite willing to blow you into atoms if you would like as well.
We will be doing things a little differently this year in terms of our releases to Live. We always felt that the gaps between chapters seemed too long, and sometimes we could not be as responsive to what was going on in the live game as we would like. We have decided going forward that we are going to operate on two tracks in our release schedule, with one track focused on what we are calling Updates and another track focused on Content. Our Update track will address the most pressing issues in the game as identified by Customer Support, Quality Assurance, and the Community team's take on what are players are discussing most as well as picking out one or two areas of the game to give some extra attention to. For the first half of the year we will be working through each of the professions and other constituencies. We will be starting with Smugglers and Spies and we have started feedback threads (Smugglers, Spies) in each of their forums to help us guide what we are doing. We will also be using the top five issues that each of the Senators has collected to lay the ground work for this. These will be released on about a four week basis. It should be understood that we will not be doing major revamping of professions during these updates, but mostly trying to ensure that we give each group some attention on a regular basis.
The Content track will be focused on adding new, quite apropos, content into the game on a regular basis. We will be using this track to add new Heroics, quests, collections, storyteller features, and new game systems into SWG. We want to be sure that we have a constant stream of new stuff into the game that will appeal to all members of the community. We spent a lot of time last year building the framework for delivering cool content into the game and we want to leverage that as much as possible in the coming months. We will start with a new Exar Kun Heroic (as voted on by the community) as well as some new collections (and collection types) and some Storyteller additions. Content Track releases will happen on approximately eight week intervals.
2008 is shaping up to be a great year for Star Wars Galaxies and I have never seen the team working as hard or as efficiently as I have seen them in the last few months. The amount they accomplished to put together C8 is amazing. This is really a fantastic group of devs who are energized by this product and the new things that are coming up.
Enjoy the new Chapter!

That is all I saw.
Sounds rather nice to me.
any one know why i cant log into the galaxys whit my launcher it allways says the severs is down
i log into the game and chose a char and galaxy and then it hangs any idea
i am using a original soe launcher and is trying to get into chinemera eu
so everything is original but yeah i log in on my launcher and chose swg(full)
then i get in the char select and chose my char on the sever and when i try to conect is just hangs
no errors or nothing is using vista en run the launcher as admin
You played it before with Vista?
Your using station launcher beta? that might be it.
Your playing on Chimaera? I am too!
"We will be using this track to add new Heroics, quests, collections, storyteller features, and new game systems into SWG"
the NGS bat is on the way.
DM how about fix the game and remove classes and levels and all the gamebreaking bugs hat makes the current game unplayable for the vast majority of the Star Wars online gaming community ?
All the things you talk about are needless to most of us if the current game lacks of the very basic features we like to see in.

$OE - eternal enemy of online gaming
-We finally WON !!!! 2011 $OE accepted that they have been fired 2005 by the playerbase and closed down ridiculous NGE !!
"There was suppression of speech and all kinds of things between disturbing and fascistic." Raph Koster (parted $OE)
suggestion that was there and finally 1 worked (by the way SOE customer service sucks
they kept giving m copy paste answers only - really bad )
The beta station launcher is crap It does not download the SWG relaveant server files thats why it hangs when trying to connect to galaxy (server)
Right click on the game icon on windows and chage its target from
"C:Program FilesSonyStationStation Launcherlaunchpad.exe" --game SWG
to
"C:Program FilesSonyStationLaunchPadLaunchPad.exe" /game:starwars /promo:106
Then run it It will download the SWG launcher wherin after log in it will update all releavant files and then u will be able to play

The launchpad fix is as follows...
Go to your program files directory
then to your sony dir
then to your station dir
then to your launchpad dir
find the file LaunchPad.exe and delete it.
DL an old copy of the launchpad and place it in the laucnhpad directory where you just deleted the old file.
The game will then update the launchpad and everything will be fixed... no more network error.
Your welcome
I am supplying an old copy of the launchpad here courtesy of AXIS and the IA.
It is OPTIONAL if you DL our copy... I dont want to be accused of virussing your pc, so if you have an old copy, rock on.
