Star Wars Galaxies: Game Update 6.1
Publish Notes, January 15, 2008

Appearance Window:

• Items that are currently stored in the Appearance inventory now show up in your normal inventory window with a cyan highlight to them. They still will not count against your inventory count. An option to turn this behavior on and off will be added in a later update.

• Fixed an issue where users wouldn't be wearing their appearance items on remote machines.

• Backpacks now work with the Appearance window. To equip a backpack to the Appearance inventory, the backpack must be completely empty. You also cannot transfer items to any containers that are currently in your Appearance inventory.

Character Transfer Service:

• Beast Master abilities now transfer correctly.
  
  
• Beast DNA now transfers correctly; this fix is retroactive.

• An "I am not ready to transfer yet. Remind me in a month." free CTS reminder option has been added.

Game Play:

• A "Born on <galaxy>" title has been added for the current 25 live galaxies, Japan-Katana, and Japan-Harla. The title will be retroactively granted. If the character has transferred, including multiple transfers, the "born on galaxy" is the galaxy on which the original character was created.

• The painting reward for free character transfers has been renamed from Infinity to Europe-Infinity.

Beast Mastery:

• Player can no longer destroy or re-deed a Barn without removing all beasts that have been stored within.

House Pack Up:

• Structures across the galaxies have been marked as "(Abandoned)" for inactive accounts that qualified. The demolition crew cannot be called in to pack up these structures until March 3.
