1. Introduction
2. Tip of the week
Congratulations to this week’s winner, Synwulf! Thanks to TBD for entering.

3. Holofeed
- While The Harbinger’s recent woes aren’t addressed in Keith’s roadmap, things are afoot to make things better.
- Tier 5 will not be a thing anytime soon.
- Keith explains about the recent back-end only maintenance periods, which led to publishing this month’s maintenance schedule. The most recent maintenance (Tuesday 25 May) took only 75 minutes!
- Credit spammers may whisper you from compromised level 1 accounts. Always report them in-game to help get them shut down.
- The issue which presented players with the ToS and EULA to accept every time they started the game has been resolved.
- Keith’s roadmap is here!
- SWTOR is part of EA’s Play To Give promotion, which runs from Friday 2 June through to Sunday 4 June. Logging in during that period grants an account-wide droid pet. If 1,000,000 players participate in group activities over that period,
4. Force Feedback
Ducky (now on Twitter as @AhnnuRie) provided the following update on the Ootini events happening this Saturday 3 June:
It’s a Republic side event, early planning stages for another one on Imperial side sometime down the road.
For the “Where on Tatooine is Carrman”, will inform through Ootini chat a general region of the Dune Sea that she will be in: Northern, Southern, Eastern, Western, or Central. She will be in the open and NOT hiding in anything. Unconfirmed reports indicate that she may or may not appear as a box at times.
The “Ootini 500” podrace should take about 15 minutes, and there will be opportunities to get knocked off your mount.
Prizes will be a choice from a group of 10 creature mounts (no duplicates) from packs that are at least one year out of date.
