[edit] Slots

The maximum number of characters per user account is 8, with no more than 2 per Galaxy. Prior to the NGE, a second character on a single galaxy was a benefit of having unlocked a Force Sensitive character with a system that has now been removed. Due to the changes that went in with the NGE, all of the players who had unlocked and created a second character before the NGE was released, were able to create a third character. This was not originally an intended or promised benefit to players who had unlocked their original second character under the old system, but the third slot was not revoked.

[edit] Name Changes

Customer Service is currently offering Star Wars Galaxies players in good standing a chance to have their character's name changed. First names can only be changed once, whilst last names can be changed an unlimited amount of times, within reason. This offer is free of charge, and can be modified or withdrawn at any time.

[edit] Transfers

You may transfer characters from accounts to account or server using the appropriate Character transfer service.
