Clone Wars Adventures is a strange game. It was released as part of the major media blitz for Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and runs along the same freemium concepts as many of the small, popular MMOs you find around the web. With all the focus on Bioware’s The Old Republic, it’s easy to see why a small, browser-based MMO would go largely unnoticed except by its fanbase.

SOE seems to be trying to encourage players to stick around, and as of this last week has pushed a pretty big content pack directly to live servers. There’s a brand new min-game, new costumes for characters, new pets to collect and an all-new starting zone for new players.

Here’s what the game’s official site has to say about the starting zone: 

“New Players will now start in the Ryloth Battle zone - an outdoor environment. There is a full scale battle taking place here with Republic troops and turrets versus Battle Droids. New players can run around and get up close with the participants in an ongoing battle. There's also a shuttle to port players to the Jedi Temple.”

If you’ve never played (or heard of) Clone Wars Adventures, now might be a good time to check it out. The game is free to play, for the most part, and with NYCC going on it’s going to be a fairly slow weekend for anyone that’s not attending the con.

Besides, everyone loves collecting pets, right?
