Star Wars Galaxies breaking news: Use it or lose it! - Image 1 


In official announcement at the main site of the biggest MMO to date in the Star Wars franchise stated that in-game assets of the inactive accounts since April 17, 2007 will be marked as abandoned and subject to demolition. While everything in the game is digital and virtual, a virtual asset is still a valuable asset. But if "you don't use it, you could lose it!"

So while the Empire strikes back and initiates a galaxy wide demolition plan, it's your fellow in-game players that will get to make first and last wrecking ball-swing with turbolaser batteries and proton torpedoes. That's because every structure subject to demolition comes with a reward, which can then be exchanged at the Lucky Despot to decorate their own cozy home.
 
Since the overall feel of the whole event appears to be a desperate stunt to regain the inactive core of players, we feel a serious disturbance in the Force, folks. The folks at Star Wars Galaxies are offering a in-game painting of Obi-Wan Kenobi for all those that do reactivate their accounts prior to May 31, 2007, but refused to turn to the dark side of the Force.

A reporter from MMOG Nation speculates that the move for in-game asset removal is in due preparation for a server merge. Still, the idea is a good way to keep the community together, while actually being rewarded for doing something as destructive as a demolitions expert could only dream of.
