Star Wars Galaxies Ending

[Demon_Skeith]

Sony Online Entertainment confirmed it will end services for the Star Wars Galaxies MMO and trading card game starting in December.

"The shutdown of SWG is a very difficult decision, but SOE and LucasArts have mutually agreed that the end of 2011 is the appropriate time to end the game," the company said on its website.

"We are extremely grateful to all of the SWG fans. We have had the rare opportunity to host one of the most dedicated and passionate online gaming communities and we truly appreciate the support we've received from each and every one of you over the course of the past eight years."

Star Wars Galaxies first launched for PC in 2003.

I remember when it came out. So excited. Shame I never got to experience what it was.

I have always heard about this game, but I never really new what is was. That's a bummer they're shutting it down after 8 years.

Well, with The Old Republic coming, the servers would just pretty much drop.

Oh, that is still in the making? Huh, I thought it was out already. But I guess that makes sense, it's cheaper that way.

It'll be out real soon. I haven't heard anything about it since E3, though. Well, guess we'll pay our respect to SWG.

Yeah, well maybe if they are still accepting new members I'll play for a bit before it's gone.

Get the 14 day trial. You can only level up to 20 (It's been that way since like 09), but it's still a good test.
