Dear Star Wars Galaxies™ Community Member,
We write to you today to inform you that on December 15, 2011, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) and LucasArts will end all services (MMO and Trading Card Game) for Star Wars Galaxies (SWG). 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.
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.
In recognition of your incredible loyalty, we are extending special Fan Appreciation offers to the current SWG community. We also plan to go out with a bang with a galaxy-ending in-game event in December and hope to see you all there. The details relating to these offers and events as well as the timeline and specifics regarding the discontinuation of the service, are provided below.
Again, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our player community for making SWG one of the best online communities in gaming history.
Sincerely,
Sony Online Entertainment & LucasArts

-T|||I want to know what a Fan Appreciation Offer is.|||Hmm, think I got a free month for this with some star wars game a few years ago. Never got around to trying it and doubt I ever will now.|||Asheron's Call is still going. I wonder if it's just super cheap to keep their server setup going or what.|||Quote:

Win.
@Zalis: it's probably more about reducing competition.|||I played it when it just came out on a free trial, got bored with Artisan, didn't bother playing after trial. Couple months back I found a private server thing where you could play for free, but even when playing free I got bored pretty quickly...so not really going to miss it:p|||Quote:

....exactly!|||open source the ****ing thing and let people do what they want with it if you don't want to maintain the thing.|||That'll never happen. Not unless you took "Star Wars" out of the name and changed any SW references in the game. Lucas would never allow his cash cow to be used like that.|||I guess they found themselves some people to buy the SW:TOR.
