Cities Quality of Life​

Player City System​

The Player City system has been expanded and adjusted to improve city distribution, reduce congestion, and allow for future expansion of city functionality.
Minimum distance between City Halls has been increased to 1.6 km to better distribute player cities and allow room for future expansion such as Rank 6 cities.
All values may be adjusted in the future based on server population and city congestion.

• Storyteller Zoning Rights
Remains unchanged at 24 hours

Mos Eisley Performance Improvements​

• Removed debris and unused structures in Mos Eisley
• Relocated several token vendors near the Bazaar
