December brings numerous in-game events in SWTOR – there is no time to catch your breath!
Paving over content drought with events
The disappointment after the developer live stream a few days ago was significant. Fans will have to wait until February 2016 for the next chapter of “Knights of the Fallen Empire”; only then will the story continue. To prevent boredom among players until then, December has been filled with plenty of in-game events. Plenty could basically also mean “all”, as there is hardly any break.
- 08.12 to 15.12: The Relics of the Gree
- 15.12 to 22.12: The Rakghoul Plague
- 15.12 to 05.01: The Life Day
- 18.12 to 01.01: Double Experience Points
- 22.12 to 29.12: Bounty Hunter Week
While most events take place in familiar form, there are slight changes for Life Day. All items from previous years will now be available for event currency, including cartel market items like the Life Day orb. However, there are a few fresh items available on the market, as a tank that can shoot snowballs has already been teased.
Apart from these events, SWTOR is celebrating its fourth anniversary. Those who log into the game between December 8, 2015, and January 5, 2016, can look forward to a small gift for their characters.
Star Wars: The Old Republic caused some unrest in recent days with the announcement that bonus story chapters would only be available to subscribers. Cortyn (that’s me!) thought this was enough of a scandal for a Whine Wednesday.
