Star Wars: The Old Republic has been letting players experience the Star Wars universe for a few years now. Now, the game will be holding a celebration for the Wookie holiday Life Day.

To celebrate Life Day, players can participate in some festivities. Gamers will be able to join a special snowball fight starting today, which will last from December 16th to January 6. Players must be levels 10-60 in order to participate. During this special mission, every snowball thrown during Life Day gives players a chance to be awarded with a Snow-Covered Parcel. These parcels can be exchanged for festive rewards at the “Master of Ceremonies” at the Galactic Trade Market sector in the Imperial and Rebel fleets. Snowball Bombs and Fireworks can be purchased at this time, and players can get a number of awards.

Players will also be able to take on another mission for Life Day in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Gamers will be able to take on the Parcel Droid mission during the same time period of the snowball fights. Players must once again be levels 10-60. Completing this mission will award players with a special Life Day Holo-Tree. There will also be special Cartel Market Life Day items. These range from special mounts to decorations and more.
