Star Wars Day is over. Revenge of the Fifth has arrived. And over in the Star Wars Galaxies corner of the galaxy, SWG Restoration is still doing exactly what makes these private-server projects so fascinating: quietly keeping an old MMO alive with new fixes, systems, and community momentum. The team has posted Hotfix 1.4.0.4 — Revenge of the Fifth, a fresh patch arriving as Restoration heads toward its fifth anniversary later this month. The official SWG Restoration hotfix post frames the update around both maintenance and celebration, with anniversary preparation now clearly on the radar. The Galactic Civil War Keeps Getting Tuned One of the more interesting notes in the hotfix concerns watchtowers and PvP base discovery. The patch listing notes that watchtowers can now grant discovery missions for finding PvP bases, with clearer messaging to indicate when a discovered target is a PvP base. That might sound tiny if…

SWG Restoration Just Made Open PvP Look Fun Again

Epic battle scene from Star Wars Galaxies Restoration showing the Petranaki Tournament PvP event with Acklay, Nexu, and Reek team banners.

Sometimes a great MMO story does not look like a cinematic trailer, a massive expansion reveal, or a carefully staged developer showcase. Sometimes it looks like a petri dish full of angry red dots. That is exactly what Star Wars Galaxies Restoration showed off on X, where a small tactical map revealed something far cooler than it first appeared: three teams of players clashing in open PvP during the server’s Petranaki Tournament. According to the post, the chaos was effectively 30 vs. 30 vs. 30, with players split across three temporary factions: Acklay, Nexu, and Reek. Yes, those names are doing exactly what your prequel-loving brain thinks they are doing. Team Pride, But Make It Very SWG The best little touch? Players also receive visible team pins showing whether they are fighting for Acklay, Nexu, or Reek. It is a tiny cosmetic detail, but very Star Wars Galaxies in spirit….

The official Star Wars Galaxies era may be long gone, but the private server scene is having a pretty lively week. Across multiple community-run projects, March has turned into a burst of hotfixes, patch notes, and even player governance updates — a reminder that SWG is still finding new ways to stay alive in 2026. SWG Infinity Is Deep in Post-Launch Repair Mode The busiest server right now looks like SWG Infinity, which has posted a rapid string of updates tied to its recent 2.0 rollout. Its patch notes page shows Infinity 2.0.115 through 2.0.120 landing between March 19 and March 24, with fixes touching everything from tutorial flow and invisible NPCs to vehicles, pets, survey tools, crafting tools, crashes, and loot behavior. That kind of cadence tells its own story. Infinity is clearly still in stabilization mode after a major update, but it is also moving fast. The latest…

For a project built on nostalgia, community, and the stubborn refusal to let a classic die quietly, this is a pretty big milestone. Star Wars Galaxies Restoration has announced that 2,516 unique accounts logged in yesterday, smashing the project’s previous record. In a short but heartfelt message, the team thanked everyone who has helped spread the word, calling the surge a major moment for the server and the community around it. That kind of number matters. Private server and restoration projects live and die on momentum, and this is the sort of update that says Restoration is not just hanging on — it is still growing. For longtime Star Wars Galaxies players, that is the dream. Not just preserving an old MMO, but actually seeing it pull in enough people to feel busy, social, and alive again. And honestly, that has always been the magic trick with Star Wars Galaxies….

If you’ve ever thought Star Wars Galaxies needed more danger, more profit, and more reasons to shoot at strangers in the desert… good news. SWG Restoration just unveiled Galactic Supply Lines, a brand-new system inspired by classic Silkroad Online trade mechanics — and it might be one of the most sandbox-feeling additions the project has introduced so far. This isn’t just another delivery mission system. It’s a full galaxy-wide risk-vs-reward economy where crafters, traders, escorts, and raiders all collide. And yes… convoys can absolutely get ambushed. A Living Trade Network With Real Risk The core idea behind Galactic Supply Lines is simple:move valuable goods across the galaxy — and survive the trip. Players can now participate in a shared logistics system where crafting, hauling, escorting, and piracy all connect into one loop. Instead of safe instant travel and static trading, supply runs turn the space between starports into meaningful gameplay….
