SWTOR has been continuously optimized and improved since its release in 2011, and Star Wars: The Old Republic has maintained a steady pace of development until today. To celebrate its tenth anniversary recently, the game also added the Legacy of the Sith event to the expansion. While SWTOR keeps getting better, its forums haven't changed much. To players' excitement,  the in-game forums will be upgraded by the end of September. We can know from SWTOR community manager JackieKo's revelation that the old forum of the game will be updated on September 29th, which heralds the emergence of a "uniquely SWTOR" new platform, which will also have many new features for players to use.

The new forum will be released in two phases. The first phase of the update will focus on introducing new features, while the second phase will be released later and focus on increasing community engagement.

There are four things that community members can look forward to in the first phase. First of all, the new forum introduces a personalized setting. For example, community members who want to customize the forum posts they want to see can do so by using tags, following community managers or topics. Second, the new forum is optimized for mobile and has a mobile-friendly layout. The third optimization is about announcements. The new forum will display upcoming special events and updates (such as the PTS stage) in the form of banners, which will make announcements more prominent and easy for community members to view. The last one is about Alerts. Although the function of this section is similar to the previously mentioned announcements, it mainly announces small events similar to dev streams.

SWTOR fans will have the opportunity to experience the above new features on September 29, 2022, but it still lack the in-game event calendar feature that allows players to set their own clocks ahead of time for upcoming events be ready. If this feature is introduced, players will love it.

The second phase of the game forum update is mainly to introduce a reward system for users who use the forum. Users just need to join the community and participate in the SWTOR forum to get posts. Users can post posts based on their personal preferences, or they can create posts for constructive or practical purposes. Either way, users can earn badges and rank through these posts.

On September 26, 2022, the old forum will be subject to 72 hours of maintenance due to the need to port 10 years of data to the new forum.

In any case, this new forum still plays a supporting role, and players still need to prepare adequate SWTOR Credits to make yourselves stronger. You can buy SWTOR Credits at IGGM.com.
