Life Day IV

Hello Brotherhood Pals!

The warmth of summer has passed us over and the chill of winter descends upon us. With those whipping winter winds comes the annual Lifeday Celebration.

The Regent’s Staff is proud to bring you Lifeday IV!

This celebration of friends and family stems from the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special. Originally a celebration of the Wookiees, this annual event has taken on a new life within the Brotherhood. Each year we have a new theme. This year, our theme is Bounty Hunters.

This event is meant to be light hearted and fun. We’ve cooked up lots of options for participation this year. This year's event will feature 17 competitions. It will run from Nov 21st to Dec 14th. That’s three whole weeks of fun!

Here is a link: LIFEDAY IV

I know what you came for…Prizes

As usual, the top 3 placements will receive unique prizes.

• 3rd place will receive: A Bounty Hunter’s Kit - This 4 Slot Bag allows you to store all your goodies! It also includes various tracking and restraining devices.
  
• 2nd place will receive: The Bounty Hunter’s Kit AND Dengar’s Fireknife - You get the bag and the blade. The fireknife is…well, it is was it says it is.
  
• 1st place will receive: The Bounty Hunter’s Kit, Dengar’s Fireknife, AND A Legendary Slugthrower Sniper Rifle!
  

These items will be granted to the most successful Bounty Hunters.

But Wait, there’s More

In addition to the standard prizes, everyone who participates in this year’s Life Day Event will receive a cash bonus of 5000 credits.

For those of you that participate in 50% or more of the Life Day competitions, You’ll earn an additional 10000 credits.

I’m just getting started…

Not only is there a credit bonus for participation, the Regent has bribed coordinated with the VOICE, FIST, AND HERALD.

All events that earn Clusters will feature…DOUBLE CLUSTERS! All of them. Clusters of Ice, Clusters of Fire, and Clusters of Graphite. That’s double the credits, double the XP.

Oh, you thought that was it?

Starting on November 21st, The Celebration store will be opened. This unique store is only open twice per year. The Celebration store is filled with the finest special edition items.

The Celebration store will remain open for the entire duration of the Life Day event and will remain open for 1 week after the event is closed. That will give you a chance to spend all those credits you just earned!

There will be a reminder announcement with links when the store is opened and when it is closing.

And another thing!

This year’s Life Day event will also be paired with an Item Booster release. We’re looking at 21 brand new items being added to the stores.

30 for 30

This year is quickly coming to an end. As I am sure you are aware, this year the DJB celebrated 30 years of existence. That’s a long time.

At the start of the year, Bubba asked me to do something for the 30th anniversary. We created a special booster celebrating the history of our club. During that discussion, Bubba also asked me to do something special at the end of the year.

So we are.

Every member that has logged into the site in this anniversary year is going to receive a credit bonus of 30,000.

That’s right. 30 racks. Fresh, crispy, unmarked, non-sequential credits directly into your accounts. I will make a special announcement when this bonus goes out.

Thank you all for continuing to make the DJB a wonderful and diverse community. This is just a small token of our appreciation. Here’s to 30 more!

What’s Coming Down the Line?

We have a few things that we’re working on.

Upgrades: We’re still working on converting our upgrade system. Once this is closer to implementation, I’ll make a separate post regarding these changes. For now, the short explanation is that we’re basically pulling the rarity limits off of all of our item upgrades. Much like land vehicles and space vehicles, you’ll be free to upgrade any item in any way you see fit.

Custom Space Stations: This is a project that I’ve had in my pocket for years. In the coming months, we will be releasing a new system for Clans Planetary Assets that allows them to build completely customizable space stations. This system will use the existing frameworks of Planetary assets and Capital Ship upgrades. Basically, It’ll be like Lego. You get to build what you want or need, rather than just select an existing station. More details will come in the future

Quality of life improvements: In the coming months, I am going to be working on putting some polish on some of the ways we interface with the possessions system. What exactly does that mean? Truthfully, I don’t have specifics yet. I have some ideas and I’ll be putting out some requests for feedback in the nearish future as well.

One example, James has made a huge step towards this with changing the way that stores function. Without explaining how the sausage is made, the new system makes it significantly easier for the Regent’s staff to set up items in the stores. This also allows us with some ways we can improve the purchasing process. In 2026, improving the user experience is going to be my primary focus.

Stay Tuned for more Announcements!

That's all I have for right now. I’ll have more information trickling out in the coming weeks and months
