Star Wars: The Old Republic is celebrating its fourth birthday and giving away gifts to players – including two plots of land for free.
May the junk be with you!
Birthday kids receive gifts. At least most of the time, because with MMOs it looks different. Star Wars: The Old Republic is now celebrating the completion of the 4th year since its release and is taking this occasion to distribute some goodies to the player base.
Anyone who hasn’t dealt with housing should seriously reconsider, as the galactic strongholds on Dromund Kaas and Coruscant are drastically reduced in price. Instead of the usual 5,000 credits, they are temporarily only 4.
Apart from the cheap apartments, there is also a vendor in the Republic and Imperial fleet offering some nice gifts. A large statue of the assassin droid HK-51 awaits, which you can use to decorate your new apartment. If you prefer something more discreet, you can opt for the wall mount with the Ebon Hawk starship.
For every journey, a new relaxation item is also worthwhile, which comes with the short and succinct name “Ebon Hawk Rest and Recharge Animation” to quickly regain energy between fights.
The festivities start on December 8 and last until January 3, 2016. All players should stock up on various rewards by then, as the vendor’s different offers can be claimed up to 10 times per account.
The game’s birthday comes at a convenient time, as there will be an unpleasant content drought until the start of the next story chapter in February, which was not made any better by a botched announcement in the developer stream.
