Hi again, 

We will be taking down the Star Forge server in approximately 10 minutes. I will update this thread when it is back online. All the other servers will remain online.

Hi everyone,


This morning, the B1-SAL Probe Droid mini-pet was granted to players who logged into the game this morning from 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM CT. This was not intended! Players were meant to receive the JR-4 Recon Droid mini-pet instead in celebration of our friends over at Respawn launching Jedi Survivor!


Our team has now fixed this bug and players will now receive the correct mini-pet from the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor promotion which will run from today to May 3rd.


All players who log into the game now will be granted the correct mini-pet droi...

Over the past few months, we launched a number of initiatives to update and improve the game and its supporting platforms. In our 11 year anniversary blog, it was mentioned that several iterations of our Public Test Server (PTS) had been hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

We are now preparing to move live servers over to AWS!

We will be launching a test server that will be completely hosted o...

Hey there!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We took and look and in a future update the droid from Summon Guild Bank will change to purple to be consistent with Guild Banks.

Hi everyone,

We have an update regarding the issue that players are seeing when they use Colorblind Mode. 

It was found during our investigation that this bug is linked to the fix we deployed with game update 7.2.1b for the flickering effects issues:

  • Changed how the level of texture detail is chosen to reduce the flickering effect on certain systems.

We are currently working on a resolution to retain both Colorblind Mode and the flickering effects fix, however, it will take some time before it is ready to be deployed. We do not want players to be without Colorblind Mode, so we will be deploying a hotfix later today to revert the initial flickering textures fix. 

We will update this thread when the hotfix is deployed. There will be no downtime required for this. When players log back in, Colorblind Mode should be restored. 

Regarding the fix for the flickering texture issues, our team is aiming to ...
