LucasArts launches Star Wars Galaxies Chapter 7

LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment formally released today a new chapter for MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies. Chapter 7: A Collection of Heroes mainly focuses on high-level heroic encounters and story-based gameplay areas. Aside from that, this specific update introduces the collection system.

For Chapter 7 to go live, LucasArts needed to take down all U.S. and European galaxies (servers) yesterday beginning 4:00 a.m. PDT. After going live once again, the galaxies were not yet accessible to players due to final testing being done by the developers. But you need not worry because all of those have been taken care of already.

Before logging in into Star Wars Galaxies, take a look first at the primary changes that we listed down below. If you want to know more, a detailed outline has been provided in the official Star Wars Galaxies website which can be accessed via the Read link below.

• Township of Aurilia: The citizens of the village on Dathomir have decided to re-open their doors to the outside world. While Aurilia was hidden, the small village evolved into a bustling township still sympathetic to adventurers looking for help. Travel to Aurilia is available from Mos Eisley, Coronet, and Theed, but only to players level 70 or higher. Residents of Aurilia serve as vendors of both information and valuable high-level items. 
  
• Heroic Encounters: A heroic encounter is a high-level challenge for a group of players looking to earn huge rewards. These encounters will take place in an instanced zone where players will take on challenging foes in epic battles like no other. The township of Aurilia is a hub for high level players to meet other like-minded allies for quests and to prepare for heroic encounters.
  
• Collections: Collectors are seeking new treasures that can be found on all planets in the galaxy. These objects are recent, prized discoveries, so existing items and enemies you have slain before Chapter 7 will not count toward completing a collection. A collection begins when you come across a distinctive item, either in the environment around you or as loot dropped by a defeated creature.
