While attention might be shifting towards Star Wars: The Old Republic, Star Wars: Galaxies is still going strong and SOE yesterday released an extensive set of patch notes for Update 12, focusing primarily on Engineering Traders. These include an obscene number of new droids for you to play with. Some are now craftable by Engineers, there are droids for battle and some (but not all) even have decals, allowing you to change how your mechanical companions will look.

Star Wars Galaxies was not just a sandbox MMO. It was one of the clearest examples of Star Wars becoming a world players could truly inhabit.

Star Wars Galaxies Restoration has set a new player record, with 2,516 unique accounts logging in and pushing the fan project to a new milestone.
Cool. But Star Wars Galaxies has already been playable for free for years on swglegends

Star Wars Galaxies Restoration is launching its Shatterpoint update with a revamped Galactic Civil War, new PvP systems, prestige progression, and dynamic sandbox gameplay.
