The Ewok Festival Of Love!
The Ewok Festival of Love will be running from Feb 10th until March 3rd!
Make sure to visit Tyrena Corellia, Kaadara Naboo, and the Southern Ewok Lake Village on Endor to participate in the activities.
The Ewoks live in harmony with nature and forage for food in the lush vegetation. Camby berries are given freely during the Festival of Love, celebrated once a year to honor the kinship and love between tribe members. During the festival, the Ewoks present this gift of their hard-earned food to other members of the tribe to demonstrate trust and acceptance.
As the Ewoks celebrate the Festival of Love, tribe members prepare meals, dance, and sing traditional songs, such as this ancestral chant often heard drifting through the treetops of the forest moon: Dugun duca lula ludia nuna, dounga, luna nudia!
Make sure to target Chief Chirpa and say "Allayloo Ta Nuv"

Operations Update: 02/22/2017 - Dark Resigns
Hey Legends!
I never really thought that this day would come, however, this matter has been on my mind for the last six to eight months, and I feel the time is right. With that being said, today, marks the last time that I will be addressing you as your Operations Lead and Admin. As many of you are aware, I've been here since the very beginning, all the way back to our founding date, January 11, 2016. There have been more than our fair share of troubles and like I said in my anniversary address, it's been a whirlwind, which pretty much sums it up. In the beginning, I wasn't really sure what to expect from staffing a project like this, so it has been a huge, learning experience, even more so, when I found myself dumped into the Operations Lead position. Some of my decisions we're good, others, not so good, but we learn and move on with life.
This project has always been pretty important to me, even more so with more and more players coming to play over here, from various other places. As unfortunate as all the shit-storms have been, especially when we didn't think the project would survive them, at the time. Nevertheless, I have enjoyed my time with you all, getting to know everyone. All the guilds, cities, most of the staff, and most importantly, the players. All of you together, make this project succeed, and I can say with absolute certainty that we would not be where we are today, without all of you, working together for the betterment of this project.
I have had to sacrifice a lot for this project, a lot of sleepless nights, tons and tons of meetings, and dealing with the issues that seemed, for awhile at least, that we're never ending. In light of needing to spend more time with family, other real-life responsibilities and obligations, I have decided to officially step down from my position as Operations Lead. I had considered remaining on the staff in a diminished capacity, on a part-time basis, as my real-life responsibilities allowed. However, after consulting with family, that will not be possible. Regardless, as I step down from the Staff of SWG: Legends, effective immediately, I want to take the opportunity to announce that Erebus has been selected as my successor, he will take over all of the duties and obligations that which I was responsible for, over the past year. *It is my hope that all of you, both staff and players alike, would show him the same friendship and support as have been shown towards me.
It has truly been my honor to serve, first as a Web Developer and finally, as your Operations Lead, and whatever the future may bring, know, that the Community, the Staff, and the project as a whole, will always have my respect, admiration, and support. *Thank you for a truly amazing, Star Wars Galaxies Experience.
And for the last time, this is Dark, signing off.

SWG Legends: Events Update
Hey everyone!
So I wanted to write this just to explain what I want to achieve with the server events on Omega. In the past we've hosted very big events which have drawn a lot of players and server stability has not always been great has it? No amount of internal stress testing on the Alpha server can prepare us for the amount of players that actually attend the events we host. We are all on one galaxy not multiple galaxies like SOE had when running the game. Sometimes we have hundreds of players in one area which SOE didn't really achieve with many of their in-game events when the game was live. Im sorry about the stability of some of the recent server events especially the one year Anniversary Celebration. Much like live TV sometimes things go wrong behind the scene which cause a ripple effect! I hope you are enjoying the Anniversary Dispensers which the team have worked on which are in-game until the 17th of March.
Moving forwards with server events as our community continues to grow, I want to do smaller more intimate type of events related to profession liaising with the events senator and each of the senators to build and create a story around these events. These type of events will be more focused to the profession & gameplay style you play. You will be able to attend with friends however I want to make the audience more specific for these type of events and ensure people participate. This is not to say that big PvP events wont happen because they will still happen and special events like Life Day/Galactic Moon Festival/Ewok Festival of love will still be running as normal at the time of year they are scheduled.
A lot of people have been asking about space events and I have been looking into space events. Its not my strong point of the game unfortunately! But we should be able to host a space event in the near future and possibly look at generating a certain type of ship for players to fight against if they request that. Perhaps a Star Destroyer? A very big thank you to the players/senators which are currently hosting in-game events!
If you have any suggestions or any type of events youd like to see please contact me or the events senator and give suggestions!
Thanks,
RoarAsh.

Current State of SWG Legends
Greetings Legends,
The team has been very busy, between development team working on updates, bugs, old and new content and all the while the community team has been working hard on all support tickets and community relations ensuring that all players are able to enjoy the game and have positive experiences, with the least amount of negative experiences possible.
We here at Legends want to assure you that we are here for the long term, which is why we tirelessly put in the hours and work to have this goal a realization from everyones point of view. Bottom line is that we are here to make the once lost dream a reality again and so far so good.
In the past, the team has had its ups and downs, from gaining and losing members to attempted hostile takeover and everything inbetween. Our current team and the morale is very very strong and solid and continues to get stronger and more determined with each passing day. We as staff are all able to talk and discuss the things needed as a team all the while not having any unnecessary drama that potentially affects the server and the players or staff.
The goals that we have are what we always wanted as players and staff: the server to be stable and secure while being able to handle everything well and the longevity of that server. There are, however, a few issues that arise from time to time and a couple that still persist, but let me assure you, we are working towards fixing these issues and any other issues that may come.
A few questions and answers that has been asked.
Q. How close is the database memory leak to being fixed ?
A.. It is being worked on and actively engaged to be fixed, It is a difficult and very long process and theres no eta on the fix, but for us it is of the utmost importance we solve this and get this corrected, and we will in due time.
Q. Why are server restarts so frequent ?
A. With the database memory leak and all the players logged in, simply put, the memory gets used more frequent when say 1000 characters are online at one time with the existence of the memory leak as opposed to 300 online. Some days youll see a 8 hour restart, others may be a 5 or 6 hour restart. This is basically the amount of people playing per day, along with the memory leak thats present at that point
Q. Are there talks about rollbacks or is there going to be major rollbacks?
A. No. There are no talks about rollbacks, nor is there intentions of any major rollbacks.
Q. What about chat/mail etc. ?
A. This is also being looked at and will be tirelessly worked on. It is also a difficult and tedious job and those that will be engaged in it, will be working hard to solve this issue as well.
Q. Is there new content being released?
A. Yes there has been new content released already and theres definitely more to come!
Q. How is the current team handling the workload thats been given to them?
A. I cannot stress enough how great the team is handling the issues weve been dealing with, and that we are able to include other team members in handling select issues and getting the fixes we need.
Q. How do you feel about other NGE SWG servers crashing and failing?
A. We do not wish or have wished for ANY new or old NGE SWG servers to fail. We wish any new servers or old servers the best and have no ill feelings towards any of them.
Q. Is SWG Legends threatened by new coming SWG NGE servers?
A. The short answer is no. We believe in our team and our community wholeheartedly and want the best for both. We wish any new server the very best.
A few mentions from the team
From Aadi
I definitely believe we are now at our most stable, both as a team and as a server, so the future for SWG Legends looks bright! There are, of course, some major problems that we are still working on, but gone are the days where the server would go into loading every 15 minutes, or space zones would randomly crash, or players and cities would disappear, or the server would be offline for a month, etc. Players can log in game and know that if they spend the next few months making this server their home that their progress wont suddenly be wiped and the server wont suddenly vanish on them.
Development-wise, each of us is very excited for what the future holds for this project, especially when it comes to content. I personally believe that we can continue to bring back all of the cool things from live patches that arent implemented yet as well as add new content while staying true to the spirit of the game. These things wont come overnight -- we have careers, families, school, etc. that we have to balance on top of being part of this project -- but they will come!
Id like to thank our external developers for their contributions thus far. You guys have experienced their work already in this update, from the Smuggler expertise changes (@Matar), to the new Leia Memorial model that @Tyrone created, to some of the bug fixes that @Elour provided. To anyone else who wants to contribute, feel free to message me or Daslo!
Thanks for the support, everyone!
From JarekCyphus
Wow what a year it's been, eh folks? Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the support and patience you've afforded ILM and the greater project as a whole. I know we didn't meet the anniversary date as we planned, but that's with the best intentions as you will see upon its release.
My testers have been invaluable to the process; so invaluable that I have already laid the groundwork for ILM 3.1. In it you will see MANY bug / visual glitch fixes that have lingered since ILM Final (and a couple that arose from 3.0), as well as visual updates to the Death Watch Bunker, Mandalorian Armor, YT-2400 and more! Moving forward, I will also be lending my support to Karthoris and Rabiator for some truly amazing content I'm sure you'll all enjoy! Thanks again for all your support!
From Karthoris
I want to take a minute to thank all the Players for their great support for this project!
I wanted to mention that yes we are continuing on in adding updates from subsequent Live Patches, from Expertise revamps, to bug fixes, to new additions. That being said I cannot honestly say whether we will be able to add in everything from these later patches, but we will be trying.
Also moving forward we have many plans for new as well as updated/revamped content, and no at this time I wont give any hints or teasers.
Thanks again to everyone, and we hope this year we can bring a lot of great stuff to you the players.
We hope that everyone is doing well and enjoying the game to the fullest. We will continue to be here to support the game and the community.
May the force be with you all.

Q. How is the current team handling the workload thats been given to them?
A. I cannot stress enough how great the team is handling the issues weve been dealing with, and that we are able to include other team members in handling select issues and getting the fixes we need.
Q. How do you feel about other NGE SWG servers crashing and failing?
A. We do not wish or have wished for ANY new or old NGE SWG servers to fail. We wish any new servers or old servers the best and have no ill feelings towards any of them.
Q. Is SWG Legends threatened by new coming SWG NGE servers?
A. The short answer is no. We believe in our team and our community wholeheartedly and want the best for both. We wish any new server the very best.
A few mentions from the team
From Aadi
I definitely believe we are now at our most stable, both as a team and as a server, so the future for SWG Legends looks bright! There are, of course, some major problems that we are still working on, but gone are the days where the server would go into loading every 15 minutes, or space zones would randomly crash, or players and cities would disappear, or the server would be offline for a month, etc. Players can log in game and know that if they spend the next few months making this server their home that their progress wont suddenly be wiped and the server wont suddenly vanish on them.
Development-wise, each of us is very excited for what the future holds for this project, especially when it comes to content. I personally believe that we can continue to bring back all of the cool things from live patches that arent implemented yet as well as add new content while staying true to the spirit of the game. These things wont come overnight -- we have careers, families, school, etc. that we have to balance on top of being part of this project -- but they will come!
Id like to thank our external developers for their contributions thus far. You guys have experienced their work already in this update, from the Smuggler expertise changes (@Matar), to the new Leia Memorial model that @Tyrone created, to some of the bug fixes that @Elour provided. To anyone else who wants to contribute, feel free to message me or Daslo!
Thanks for the support, everyone!

Wow what a year it's been, eh folks? Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the support and patience you've afforded ILM and the greater project as a whole. I know we didn't meet the anniversary date as we planned, but that's with the best intentions as you will see upon its release.
My testers have been invaluable to the process; so invaluable that I have already laid the groundwork for ILM 3.1. In it you will see MANY bug / visual glitch fixes that have lingered since ILM Final (and a couple that arose from 3.0), as well as visual updates to the Death Watch Bunker, Mandalorian Armor, YT-2400 and more! Moving forward, I will also be lending my support to Karthoris and Rabiator for some truly amazing content I'm sure you'll all enjoy! Thanks again for all your support!

I want to take a minute to thank all the Players for their great support for this project!
I wanted to mention that yes we are continuing on in adding updates from subsequent Live Patches, from Expertise revamps, to bug fixes, to new additions. That being said I cannot honestly say whether we will be able to add in everything from these later patches, but we will be trying.
Also moving forward we have many plans for new as well as updated/revamped content, and no at this time I wont give any hints or teasers.
Thanks again to everyone, and we hope this year we can bring a lot of great stuff to you the players.
We hope that everyone is doing well and enjoying the game to the fullest. We will continue to be here to support the game and the community.
May the force be with you all.

** Stepping Down **
With all due respect to the staff and the community - I feel that my skills can be best utilized elsewhere. My departure will not affect the current staff dynamic as I've not been spoken to or asked to help with the website since well before the latest big staff shift. I've been considering this for a while. I initially came on to support my husband, as well as show support for Dark's efforts to hold things together during a turbulant period. Since I've felt the current staff and community have done well toward the same goal.
My deepest respect to the continuing efforts.
Toodles.
