"WRRRRAAAAAAGH" - A Wookiee Elder, on the importance of tradition
Happy Life Day one and all!
2022 is slowly coming to a close, but with it brings a final hoorah, the yearly tradition started on Kashyyyk, Life Day! A celebration of those around us, togetherness, community, and perseverance. The Grotto has opened up once again, snow falling gently on the hills, and mugs of Hoth Chocolate ready for everyone to enjoy!
We here on the Legends team want to thank each and every member of our community, because without you, there would be no community to celebrate! It's time to put on some fuzzy slippers, grab a warm blanket, and officially start Life Day 2022!
To kick off celebrations, head to the Life Day Grotto, the entry door of which can be located at -756 19 263 on Kashyyyk (It's the one on the left). Make sure to dress warm, the snow has been falling non-stop!
The door mentioned previous!
These festivities will be happening for a month! Starting tonight, December 9th, and running until January 9th. Please note these are the dates of server resets, so it will be Monday morning for you US based folks!

Remembering Carrie Fisher:
The world lost Carrie Fisher on December 27th, 2016. Although she's been gone now for six years, she's far from forgotten. We will be hosting a gathering at the Princess Leia and R2-D2 memorial at Dee'ja Peek where we'll reflect and remember how much of a long lasting impact she's made throughout her life and even still since she's passed on. You can learn about this special memorial in-game right here in this Friday Feature.
Stay turned for future announcements regarding the scheduled event happening on December 27th.
As a Reminder, Life Day will be celebrated from December 9th to January 9th!
