Star Wars Galaxies: Game Update 2
Publish Notes, March 13, 2008

Veteran Reward:

• Added the 57 month veteran rewards: the homing beacon and three new permanent storyteller tokens.
  
  When placed in a structure you own, the homing beacon will allow you to land near your house from the space station above your home.
  
  You can also choose a storyteller combat NPC to create a boss level enemy to wreak havoc in your event: a Dark Jedi, a Nightsister, or a Tusken. The token is No Trade and reusable with a certain amount of uses per day.

Entertainer:

• A new instrument called the valahorn has been added to the profession wheel at level 90. This instrument sounds similar to the Kloo Horn.
• New commands for creating some fantastic performances using synchronized solos and pauses have been added.
• A new /bandpause command has been added. This command pauses specified instruments in the band. Typing /bandpause all pauses all instruments. Typing /bandpause <instrument> pauses the specified instrument.
• A new /bandsolo command has been added. This command causes a specified instrument to play, and all others in band to pause. Type /bandsolo <instrument> to solo with the specific instrument.

There is quite a bit more in this particular patch so do follow the link for more of interest to all players.

Nice to see that they're still dealing with issues from beta here nearly five years later (buffs across sub-server boundaries, for example).

lol

I love how a game that's 80 years old is on "Game Update 2"

haha... god, this game is just a Job Resume beefer for the devs on its staff that're looking to move higher up.

They still haven't fixed the economy or Jedi, which is why I quit. A player starting over with a new character doesn't have a chance to afford anything he should be able to afford as he levels, such as ships and parts. Jedi still cannot perform basic Jedi powers, such as force pull. There isn't any distinction between a light and dark Jedi, since they all can use the same powers. There isn't a lightsaber, defender, or healer/buffer specialization tree. You still cannot choose which lightsaber hilts you want to use or crystal color you want to use if you want to be competitive, instead you are stuck choosing between a handful of named color crystals and hilts. They still haven't introduced a way for Jedi to wear robes at CL90 and still be competitive, they instead are stuck with the JMC or Elders Robe.

Sorry, but this game is still crap after GU2, so I won't be resubbing. I really miss the game too.

I agree took them 4 years to push me away canceled both of my accounts last month.

more veteran rewards?

Gotta keep the 7 suckers that have been there from the start and still play happy.

would you play if it was free then people who are angry???

No time to be bothered with the game anyomre tbh.

It's not a bad product. I think it has become easier for the vets to hate the game then actually try it with an open mind.

Buffs across sub-server boundaries? What is that?

Anyway, I can't see myself playing anymore after 4 years. But after they finally show munitions some love I believe that this game will be worth recommending again finally.
