Please be aware that with the update to the new forums ALL player game accounts have been temporarily disabled. In order to resolve this and log in, you need to create your account on the forums. Please see the Forums Announcement post for more information.
The EiF Staff is excited to finally unveil and introduce our new community forums! The older forums were a little clunky, so we’re looking forward to being able to utilize the new features and accessibility options these new forums offer. With this refresh, we’re also hoping that the forums will become a bit more popular and offer an easier-to-navigate repository of community information and interaction.
Forum accounts and game accounts are now linked! All account management will now happen through the forum, including registration and password resets. “Accidental” accounts are no longer possible.
All game accounts are disabled until a corresponding forum account has been made. Creating a forum account with your game account name will unlock your account. This only needs to be done once. If your current game account username cannot be used to register on the forum, send Halyn a PM on Discord for assistance.
These forums are fresh off the presses, so there may be some bugs, display issues, or who knows what else. If you notice anything weird or out of place, please report it and let us know so we can look into it.
This week, Empire in Flames celebrated its fifth year with player-held festivities as well as the return of the annual Riddle Hunt. In today’s Friday Feature, we showcase some memories and learnings that members of the staff have shared from their years here at EiF.
Halyn: Players will always do the unexpected.
Mina: Scripting with LUA! It’s not something I had never dealt with previously.
Abi: There’s a reason we don’t have hard release dates – the second you set one, real lie gets in the way and you end up delayed by six months (or more)
Anishor: My C++ is rusty.
Jeil: Save your work, and make back ups. >.>
Wefi: Halyn checks the files before putting them in. So no surprise Shrek.
Kelta: Things never go to plan. Also, we tend to think alike when it comes to hiding places.
Demi: Always have several fresh clones of your dev environment at the ready.
Traycn: How clever players can be in regards to gameplay, collection hunting, and problem-solving.
Phoenix: Players break things that shouldn’t be able to break. LUA is a terrible language. We are capable of doing more than we originally thought. Learned a bunch of ASM/Hex Editing.
May 4th, 2022 marks five full years of an Empire in Flames! It’s hard to believe it’s been this long, and it’s been an amazing journey so far. Since the ‘doors opened’ on May 4th 2017, EiF has seen a lot of updates, unique content, and new additions that truly make us different than any other SWGEmu server out there. There’s so much that we’ve done over the last five years that it’s almost impossible to list it all, but here’s a brief overview of the major updates that have been released on EiF:
Don’t worry, that’s not all. We have so much more planned that we can’t wait to share with you. On that topic…
We’re excited to announce that the Mandalorian Enclave content is officially Coming Soon. That’s right, actual soon and not soon(tm). There are still some final tweaks to be made before its ready, but we hope to have it live and available to players in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more info!
In the meantime, we pulled some fun facts and data from the last 5 years. Enjoy!

It’s been a wild ride! We want to thank you for being a part of the last five years and hope to see you for many more. We’re EiF. We do the weird stuff.
Here are the notes for the patch released on March 29, 2022, in which things were fixed.
