Hey all! It's been a great week playing with some of you. I hope the grind is as enjoyable for everyone else.
I just want to update everyone on our progress and update plans.
Weekly Restarts
I'm looking to set up a restart schedule for the server. I haven't decided which day yet, but restarts will only take a few minutes. This will of course interrupt anyone's characters logged in doing AFK farming/sampling. I will also try to push updates during these weekly restart times to minimize the disruption to your characters. I will update everyone with the planned date once I reach a decision.
Our Phase 1 Plan
During Phase 1 there won't be any new content added. Instead, these updates will focus on bringing some Quality of Life changes as well as more options for players in normal gameplay.
Some of these changes include:
- New playable species
- Image Design Terminal
- Medic Buff Droid inside Med Centers
- Daily Login Reward System
- Multiverse Shards added as a currency
- Multiverse Shard Vendor with some rewards from the TCG and other rare loot
- Adding our server to GalaxyHarvester, a site that tracks resource spawns on servers so players can see what is spawned and available to sample
Update Schedule
There will be no defined update schedule at this time. I do have the Test Server up and running and will be working on some of these changes during the week. I will then probably push these changes over the weekend so I can be around to troubleshoot any issues. I am still learning the codebase and looking to recruit more staff. I do have some help from fellow SWG devs (Vossk and Mannax) who have been very helpful so far, and I'm sure I will continue to annoy them with my questions.
I'd like to thank all of you who have joined and are playing. This server has been a huge dream of mine ever since I started hosting game servers, and I promise that almost nothing will stop me from pursuing my vision and supporting this server for as long as I am hosting servers.
