When SW Galaxies close down...

Post by spartan64 »

If you played or still play SW galaxies, you have about 5 months left to hog it all up and enjoy it as much as possible. After that, servers shut down... goodbye SW galaxies :(
lol... I never played it.

Here is what L.A had to say:
LucasArts wrote:"The decision to shut down the game has not been an easy one. SOE and LucasArts investigated every option to keep the game open, including taking it to a free to pay model. However, that model just isn't financially viable. Changing the business model for an experience like Star Wars Galaxies takes a major investment and overhauling of the existing infrastructure of the game. We're unfortunately at a point in our life cycle where a change of this magnitude is just not possible. The harsh reality is that we've reached a point where the game is no longer a sustainable business. None of us wanted to see this point, but we're extremely proud of the last eight years of the game and the community that has supported it.

We have a lot planned between now and December and we want to make sure that from now until then, we send off Star Wars Galaxies in a style befitting such a great game. We'll be right there in the game with everyone else, counting down until the end, making sure we connect with all the friends we've made over the past eight years. It may be bittersweet, it may feel like it's happening before it should, but we have approximately five months remaining where we can all enjoy the game together. We sincerely hope the community will join us."
I highlighted the interesting part. If comic-con fails, there might be another chance for BF3 to be announced this year, between now and December. You never know.. they might want to close the servers with excitement...

I'm not shedding any tears for this game's shut down. I played the 14 day trial and IMO it sucked. If they have to shut this down to make Battlefront III then I'm fine with that.
On another note them working on things between now and December could mean anything, it could be about the Kinect game or the MMO SWTOR, but it could also be SWBF3 which I'm hoping it is. :D
Hope Rises, So Trust in the Force. Battlefront WILL RETURN!

They may only be focusing on PC gamers as SW Galaxies was a PC only game, so I think they will most likely reveal new things for TOR during that period. They may also release TOR right after they shut down SW Galaxies. Then again, they said they have a lot planned so you never know...

SWTOR is being released this fall,maybe that's the "plan" between now and December? :?:
Their gonna release alot of Old Republic-era media to go alongside the MMO like novels comics and perhaps source-books.

Now to December is five months...they could just be saying there is a lot in store for SW Galaxies. Like tournaments, play with the developers, etc.
Gaming is a way to show someone you ARE better than them :P
