SWG - Chapter 7 Interview @ RPG Vault

RPG Vault chats to LucasArts Producer Jake Neri and Associate Producer Tim Temmerman about the next update for Star Wars Galaxies.

Jonric: What are the main additions and improvements that Chapter 7 will bring to Star Wars Galaxies, and are they primarily aimed at certain levels or types of players?

Jake Neri: Chapter 7 introduces some cool new elements to Star Wars Galaxies, one being the Collection Journal, and another the introduction of three instanced Heroic Encounters. The former allows players of all levels to pick up collections (essentially quests) that require you to go out and find, kill or loot objects or creatures around the galaxy. Once completed, the collections appear in your journal and reward the player with badges and sometimes loot or other items. For example, we have a collection that allows the player to gather written pieces of Count Dooku's legend. Once it's completed, the reward is a decorative saber hilt to place in the character's home.
