Age of the Republic
Underworld Update

---

‏‏

🌌 MORE THAN ONE?

• Age of The Republic now has an official second server, set on Level 1313 in the Coruscant Underworld. This second server allows players to now choose between which planet they would like to spend their time on, and is an entirely new frontier for players to experience all the new features in.

• Completely new to Age of The Republic, Civilians have arrived in full force and are available to play for Veteran donators and staff team members. Civilian gameplay offers a much more difficult and free-choice experience to our gamemode. Buy a home, grow crops, rob stores, join a gang, fight or side with Republic, and find many new ways to write your character's story.


• It is very imporant to note that Civilians will always be seen as "event" or "background" characters when compared to our clone and Jedi players, and will always be the underdog. We are Age of The Republic, after all.

🎃 NIGHTMARES ON ANAXES

• It's that time of year again where we can overdose on candy and threaten strangers over pumpkins. The Nightmares on Anaxes event has returned! If you didn't have a chance to get the items last year, now is your chance to do so!

• Pumpkins have started growing all across Anaxes, and everyone can harvest them to earn limited time rewards or credits. Use Harvested Pumpkins in the Event Hall to craft different spooky armors and gear only available during October.


• New item arrivals may come to the event at any time after this update, so stay tuned.

👨‍🌾 FARMERS, FOLLOWERS, AND LOWLIFES.

• Civilians, Protocol Droids, and Legacy Droids can now be created by various levels of staff and donator status.
  • Civilians are available in the Character Select screen to Veteran VIP and above until further notice.
  • Protocol Droids are only available in the Character Select screen to Veteran VIP and above.
  • Legacy Droids are only available in the Character Select screen to Senior Moderators and above.
  
  
• These neutral-faction classes are 100% player dependent. All gameplay options and general enjoyment is up to you to have. Remember all server rules apply, and you are playing this class to enhance your own and all Republic player experiences.
