Jason "Pex", the Events Manager for SWG, has released the following information on new and upcoming events!

Happy Life Day Everyone! Life Day By now I hope everyone has seen the Friday Feature on the Life Day gifts that are currently available in-game. While traveling to this celebration is not 100% safe, no combat is required and the quest is super-simple. Every character that is older than 30 days should be able to head out and get a cool gift. If you don't get the gift you wanted there are plenty of people willing to trade. You will be able to get your gift until at least the New Year. We will make an announcement as to what day the quest will end probably around January2nd. Swoop Races Next week will see the addition of three new swoop races to give you something to strive for over the holiday. More on that when it occurs. I'm sure the tracks will be very busy the first few days or weeks, so don't expect to get a race badge right away! We have adjusted the races to allow a tie to grant both racers a badge if it is the fastest of the day, so the early morning crowd won't hog the badges. Player Events There will be a ton of holiday player events between now and the first couple weeks of January. We hope everyone will try to attend or run a player event. We need to support the player organizers out there! Event Team Player Requests Our calendar is currently full from now thru the New Year. If you have an event planned already, you are still on the schedule. We just will not be scheduling any more support for player events during that time. As we did during Thanksgiving we will be temporarily turning off the event PMs to prevent a huge back-log of messages and requests while various team members take their vacations. The PMs will be turned off from the 22nd of December thru the 2nd of January. Jason "Pex" Ryan SWG Events Manager
