Amazon announced the shutdown of New World, and laid off 14,000 people.

It launched 6 months after our project, but couldn't meet 4th quarter profits, and it's gone.

We're a community developed volunteer run online world. We do this because we love it. And maybe... that's how it should always be.

What's it like developing a new planet? Here's a sneak peak at the seedy underworld of Nar Shaddaa, and the major pillars this addition will bring to Restoration.

We have a Galactic Home Show event on January 25 that is the perfect way to tour around the best decorated player structures this side of the Rishi Maze.

This isn't your dad's Star Wars Galaxies.

Players built this. 🤯

Expanding Horizons has rekindled our galaxy.

We truly have one of the most positive, supportive, and collaborative online communities in gaming.

...let's try and break the server by setting off as many fireworks as possible.

11:59PM EST in Mos Eisley.

See you there! 🎇🎆🎆

With new species, come new opportunities for player image designers to enter the market of... species reconfiguration 💉💰

This life day, all player-city mayors got a tree to plant in their cities.

Players can claim a random ornament box in Wayfar or Doaba Guerfel.

Then, it's decorating time.
Let's see what you've got, galaxy. 🎄🌟

Players will find a way...

Our content devs created a treasure hunt: find the parts, get the vehicle.

Total area of Tatooine? 256 square km.

Total time until the first player found all 10 parts? ~12 hours.

🤷🤷 we'll try harder to hide them next time, I guess!

A droid engineer can these parts and combine them. The result will have the best stats from both drops!

Mixing these reverse engineered parts provides a market for an important profession, and will make future swoop races dependent on tinkering!

Now each vehicle-type comes with base attributes that players will be able to install, improve, and better balance to their playstyle.

NPCs and unsavory gang members known for 'salvaging' materials from vehicles will now drop components.

Expanding Horizons has a new vehicle customization system!

Before the only difference vehicles gave was speed and health.

Although there was 50+ vehicles, players optimized for just a handful.

In a game known for its deeply customizable systems, this wouldn't do... 👇
