Hello everyone!
SWTOR is now running with the 64-bit client! This was a colossal effort from the team on all fronts, and I cannot wait for you all to see all of the updates that will be coming to the game over time.
The move to 64-bit also means that some players may have to update settings on their sides. Below are common changes/issues we have seen since we’ve been testing 64-bit.
Your Antivirus program may pop up with an alert. Players are encouraged to update their firewall/AV settings to allow the app.
Players may also need to remove compatibility settings as this was tied to seeing an empty server list upon log in.
Back in December of 2022 we opened our Public Test Server (PTS) and invited players to check out Star Wars: The Old Republic in 64-bit. A 64-bit client along with a host of other content is coming soon when 7.2.1 launches and players are going to get the chance to test out even more of it soon. Let’s dive in and walk you through everything that is coming in the Update, and what will be available for testing.
Galactic Season 4 - A Passage of Peace
7.2.1 will mark the beginning of the next Galactic Season - A Passage of Peace. Like previous Seasons, this one will come with a host of new rewards players can earn and will feature a brand new companion, Amity, for players to learn and traverse the galaxy with. Stay tuned for more details on this season and a sneak peek at its rewards!

The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally
Date: March 7th - March 14th, 2023 (BEGINS AND ENDS AT 12:00PM GMT)
Requirement: Level 20+
In the growing shadow of war, swoop fans across the galaxy descend on Dantooine, Tatooine, and even Onderon for the sport’s biggest spectacle—The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally! They’re packing the stands, eager to take their minds off their troubles and cheer their favorite swoop gangs. The bikers are here to take on dangerous challenge courses, show off their piloting skills, and flaunt their souped-up swoop bikes. The thunder of the engines, the deafening applause from the fans, the wind battering their helmets… there’s no bigger rush for these thrill seekers.
Despite their reputation as wild rebels whose makeshift courses disregard local distr...

What is the actual cost for the Mek-Sha stronghold? In one place you say 8 tokens and in another you say 14.
During Season 3, the Season 1 weapons were sold by Ki'at Thavo. Will the Season 2 weapons be available this Season?
Are the Collections unlock prices going to remain as they were for Season 3?
Also, I think the dyes are misidentified. The image appears to show grey / brown, brown / grey, and orange / orange, but the cutline identifies them as "(From left to right: Pale and Dark Brown, Pale Orange and Dark Orange, and Pale Brown and Dark Gray Dyes.)."
Mek-Sha SH cost is 14 tokens. The article has been updated, good catch!
"Will the Season 2 weapons be available this Season?"

Happy to announce that Game Update 7.2.1 will be launching on March 28th! We will be taking down the servers at 7am CT/12pm UTC with an expected downtime of 5 hours. Patch notes will be posted on March 27th here: https://www.swtor.com/patchnotes
We did want to point out that this game update contains the 64-bit client, so please expect a larger download than normal. Players should expect a 35g download for 7.2.1.
One change we did want to let you know about today is an update coming to the Master Datacron. Current...
Hi everyone,
I'm creating this thread to keep you all informed with updates on the 7.2.1 patch. Currently, we are extending the maintenance window and do not have an ETA on when the servers will be back up. I'll keep you all updated here when I have more info.
Thanks!
Here is the list of the final weeks of the Galactic Seasons 3: “Luck of the Draw” season objectives from February 7th - March 7th, 2023. As a note, Season 3 of Galactic Seasons will end with the 20th week on March 7th, so get in your final season levels while you can!

If my account is preferred, and I sell something in GTN that puts more than 1 million credits into my mail, does it mean I will lose the credits (i.e. they get returned to the sender when the mail expires)?
Or does this only apply to the subscriber credit cap (4bil+) ?
If you try to pull credit from the mail, only the amount that will cap you can get pulled from it. The UI does not refresh until you close/reopen the mail. F2P and Preferred accounts will still have their credit caps in place and will never be able to hold more than 1 million credits. The email will eventually expire, so you will need to keep an eye on it.

Wanted to address this patch note: "The Master’s Datacron now boosts players’ character to Level 80 (up from Level 70). The armor granted by the equipment bundle has been updated to relevant conquest armor."
The Eternal Commander Equipment is being replaced and in its place will be the 324 Noble Decurion Conquest equipment. It will still be compatible to your character's Discipline and the items can be upgraded at their respective vendors. I'll update the OP with this info. And to reiterate, the Master Datacron will only grant a level boost. It will not grant a story boost. We'll be bringing back the Eternal Commander Equipment in a future update and will share details on how to obtain it when I have them.
Related to items that grant a level boost, the Commander's Character Token will continue to boost your character to level 70 with 7.2.1. We are considering increasing the level this boost takes you to as well, but no details to share yet.

Happy early birthday! Hopefully, the maintenance window won't take up the full five hours and you can celebrate!

Ultimately, it depends on your connection. With the tests the team ran, we found the following:
