AUSTIN, Texas – Mar. 19, 2014 – Today, BioWare™, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA), and LucasArts announced Galactic Strongholds, a new Free-to-Play Digital Expansion for Star Wars™: The Old Republic™, coming this summer. Galactic Strongholds will allow players to show off their own personal style and expand their influence by acquiring and customizing personal Strongholds.
To celebrate the announcement of the Digital Expansion, all Subscribers as of April 2, 2014, will receive 500 Bonus Cartel Coins and all Subscribers as of May 4, 2014, will receive 1,000 Bonus Cartel Coins.*
Subscribers as of May 11, 2014, receive special rewards* including Early Access on June 24, 2014, along with a luxurious Nar Shaddaa Sky Palace with three rooms already unlocked (valued at 1,500,000 credits). Preferred Status Players gain Early Access on July 29 and Galactic Strongholds will be offered to the public as a Free-to-Play Digital Expansion in August.
In Galactic Strongholds, players can live on multiple planets and choose a prestigious apartment in the heart of the faction’s capital world, live in style among the high-rollers of Nar Shaddaa, or both by owning multiple Strongholds. Hundreds of unique decorations will be available for players to express their own personal style, as well as to boost their Prestige score to compete for top ranking in the Stronghold Directory. Friends can be invited and transported to a player’s Stronghold from any in-game location to socialize.

I always felt the need for a place for the guild to meet … this should make recruitment a bit easier 🙂
And this way, the Guild Alliance will start having a brand new headquater 🙂Woo, this may be an occasion to finally get the Guild Alliance Website done, lol – it’s been a long time coming and I’ve promised to get it done so many times, lol.
So many things have collapsed for many reasons, maybe its time to start again fresh and get it right from the beginning.
I hope that the Guild Flagships do not end up a massive drain on resources like on STO Fleet properties. As long as its only a meeting place and not somewhere where you can get new Exclusive Guild-Gear it should be fine.
As we all know too well the problem with the STO Star Base, Spire, Dilithium Mine & Embassy was that you can ONLY get the exclusive fleet gear from these areas, so giving the incentive to build them up. But for the smaller fleets this became an impossible feat.
