Tony "Teesquared" Tyson has published his producer's note for February, and he takes a moment to announce that the Ewok Festival of Love will return to Star Wars Galaxies from Feb. 9 to March 2. Be sure to participate if you'd like to earn rewards like wings, a costume, a miniature chocolate fountain, and a Crossbow of Love that decreases an enemy's hate toward the player who uses it.

Tyson also gives us a sneak peek at what players can expect to see in Update 16. Nym's Theme Park will get a revamp, top senate and community issues will be addressed, and many changes will be made in space. Keep reading after the jump for more details.

• Heaven’s Fall, Kryss of a Thousand Lies: Armor Penetration replaced with Haste rating
• Stormfury, Black Blade of the Betrayer: Armor Penetration replaced with expertise rating
• Fal’inrush, Defender of Quel’thalas: Haste rating replaced with Armor Penetration

Dragonica Online officially launched in 2009, and THQ*ICE wants to make 2010 just as memorable by making your $10,000 wish come true.

The pages currently have 4,000+ supporters, so there's still plenty of time to enter. According to the official rules, the $10,000 grand prize will be awarded through Visa gift cards. It's important to note that residents of New York, Florida, Rhode Island and Quebec cannot enter the sweepstakes.

The developers at Ndoors, the creators of Atlantica Online, have once again provided the ZAM staff with a fairly in-depth dev journal on one of their game's playable mercenaries, the Prophet.

She's a perfect complement to any melee-based front line, so if you're a fan of Atlantica Online, or just want to get a glimpse of the gameplay in the MMO, make sure you keep on reading!
