• RIP Star Wars: Galaxies, you will be deeply missed!

[Zapoke]

Galaxies is gone? Lol. Maybe because of TOR..

[adidaman]

WOOT

[Skeletonlord]

Gonna check this out now!

[BirdBrainJr]

Really? 2 plat everytime we beat winter boss?

[bronislav84]

What is with the potion hate, seriously? It's just a few lousy potions on remake. Nothing gamebreaking. Probably only a couple people hoarding potions anyway. This makes me sad....

Other than that thank you for the update. Will check it out after I get my Vularia fix on SL.

Sounds like it from what I've heard.

Might be a bug cuz when u buy its supposed to give u access for 4 hours but once u kill boss it disappears

[Justg]

Once the boss is killed your access goes away. To those of you who don't think it is fair that we are charging access, please understand that we are running a business. We give away almost the entire game for free (including some xmas antlers). You have ways to earn platinum without paying us anything. Salaries and servers don't run on gold... we wish they did!

And for those of you who are enjoying the snowy land of Alterra... HAPPY HOLIDAYS from Spacetime!

[Skeletonlord]

it is an awesome update!

Our point is, it says 4 hours and 9 minutes left or whatever and we still can't access. People are rioting. I just saw a few people recruiting to a guild called: "STS is Greedy". Just saying.

[FluffNStuff]

not gonna bother if it's anything more than one flat fee per account

sorry sts

I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS! How long have we been talking about and looking forward to the winter festival? Probably since the end of the last one! Building twinks, working on strategies, turning blind eyes to questionable STS practices, all in excitement of the Winter Festival. I met so many people during it last year, having a great time on my twinks interacting with, encouraging and helping new low level players. And now that is all gone. Well, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Can somebody say the Grinch Stole Christmas? I know I can.

Let me just get this straight about what we have.

You promised us new items, that is correct. Wait, wut? ALL of the items cost platinum in one way or another?

You promised us new content. Wait, wut? New content is the SAME map from last year with winter festival items that have new looks but the same stats? Allrighty...

Let me calculate how long it will take me to farm items I want efficiently: Parenthesis stand for multiplication.

(2P for 1 time access)(20 platinum for Shamrock Elixir to farm efficiently)(Roughly 5 runs in an hour?) So, this campaign can cost me anywhere from 10-50 platinum per hour? This is an all time low.

I'm not sure if you guys realize, but MANY of the players of both SL and PL are at our last nerves for how expensive the game has gotten. I'm starting to see myself as a dollar value rather than a customer.

I'm fine with paying for vanity packs. Paying per instance is crossing the line though and shows the greed I've been trying to deny for a while now.

Thank you all for the wonderful Christmas and act of gift giving y'all have so spectacularly shown.

[starr951]

cause i did the quest last year it did not reset?
I want the snowflake wings =(

[Justg]

If you enter the map and leave again, there is a bug in Dash R's convo where he says you have to pay again. He does not charge you, but we still will fix this asap.

[Ladyviviane]

I only saw frosty man on town bought entry of elf village but boss was killing right when I was in so I did not kill any boss n still can't get back there to complete my quest !!! How many plats more do I have to spend to get this winter fest done ? Well m very disappointed !

[Nick41324]

AT LEAST MAKE IT A 30MIN ELIXIR!!!!! one run.... outragious. im not that rich sts.

[starr951]

I dont mind repaying but if im not getting the wings then whats the poing =(

[WoundedEagle]

People are really mad, the community wants everyone to participate in the holidays and people have been antipating that. People just don't like it. The whole motto is, "Free to play", and even though we could go download 2 platinum from TapJoy, it's a little ridiculous. I hope this 4- hour elixir to access holiday content once, is a bug. I don't like the way STS is going. It looks like they are slowly emerging into a profit only game, and not the game that everyone loves because they don't have to pay. Last year, the one time fee to holiday content was perfect. Not many Christmas items from last year available. I hope this gets fixed. I can't bare to log on because of this rubbish!

EDIT: I am also extremely unsatisfied with the 'chance' of a gingerbread man Vanity pet. What is this? So stupid that I had to spend 150 platinum just to get one, when I know it will be a 100 platinum or less in a month. What happened STS, what happened?
