Hey guys,
The server I'm part of recently released a new patch to celebrate it's 8th anniversary.
I decided to post a video and some images here to showoff some of our most recent.. eh.. crazy idea.
Since there is a new Star Wars movie coming out, we thought that we could honor it somehow ingame, so we decided to do a Star Wars themed event for our 8th anniversary. It is also the last bit of work we are doing on the WoTLK client.
The event consists of 3 maps, two based on Tanaris and the Shimmering Flats and the third is an instance.
- 27 different mounts based on Star Wars (such as land speeders, podracers, etc
- 28 transformations based on Star Wars (playable morphs, such as ObiWan, Anakin, Yoda, etc).
- 14 Daily quests
- 52 Achievements
- 11 Pets (Mini TIE fighters, Mini Yoda, for example).
- 8 lightsabres.
I don't really want to go much into detail because I don't want it to seem like a publicity post. As it is more of a work/model showoff post rather than showcasing content such as custom achievements.
I'm going to post a few screenshots below so you guys can see some of the models, and other stuff.
(These last few photos are taken in our design map, where we stick all the NPCs we create to organize them. It was just easier for me to take the screenshots here rather than going around the map individually.)

I could sit here and put up 27 individual screenshots of mounts, and 28 screenshots of playable characters such as all the clone troopers, storm troopers and jedis, but I don't want to make the post THAT long.
What do you guys think? Are we as crazy as we think we are for doing this?
