Your weekly update on Stars Reach
HAVEN: A MOON UNDER CONSTRUCTION
It’s Christmas week but folks are working hard building a moon called Haven and starting on a planet below it called Crucible.
The moon will have special missions to bring new players up-to-speed. The planet will have space to try out more destructive abilities without ruining the planet permanently.
We also have some additional improvements coming to text chat, moods, some emotes, new animations, and possibly a friends list.
You can see more on our roadmap here:
