| You have taken your first steps into the immense universe of Star Wars. This game mail is meant to give you a quick welcome and overview. If you need additional details on anything about the game, don't be afraid to bring up the Holocron (default: CTRL H). It offers easy-to-navigate chapters that not only teach you the game, but also gives you starting missions.
Unlike many other games, there is no 'one' way to play Star Wars Galaxies. You will be able to live in and interact with the Star Wars universe in a way you never have been able to before.
If you are looking for a little direction to get started, we recommend finding a local mission terminal to take some missions. After making some credits doing simple delivery or destroy missions, you may want to start upgrading your equipment. Eventually, you'll want to converse with non-player characters to find more interesting and lucrative missions or you may want to head to the adventure Theme Parks like Jabba's Palace on Tatooine.
After that, you goals are largely determined by what you are interested in. For example, you may want to join the Rebellion or Empire and work your way up through the military ranks. You may wish to master multiple professions and become renown throughout the galaxy for your skills. You may want to acquire, make, or sell the best equipment in the galaxy. You might want to explore the ten worlds and find a perfect spot to build your home. You may even want to try to unlock the secret to opening a second character slot that is Force-sensitive (warning: this is extremely difficult, mysterious and dangerous). The choice is really up to you.
Your best source for in-depth information on the game will come from other players. You can find players who are ready and willing to answer your questions right now by typing /who newbiehelper. Simply pick one off the list in your chat window and send your question by typing: /tell [player name] I'm new, could you please help me?
As a final note, the game is designed around the recommended default Star Wars Galaxies controls. However if you are more comfortable with a different control set up (EQ style, FPS style or Isometric style), you can quickly remap the entire keyboard layout in the Option menus (default CTRL ) - Controls tab - Keymap button - use the dropdown menu).
On behalf of the entire development team, thank you and enjoy your time in Star Wars Galaxies. May the Force be with you.
