Most should know - Man53 - 11-10-2008
Most of you should know this by now, but according to Sony Online Entertainment and Lucas Enterprises, Star Wars Galaxies will be coming to its long over-due close.
The up and coming release of "KOTOR: Online" combined with the massive failure of Star Wars Galaxies to hold an active player base (Probably because it was a paid beta test for nearly 4 years) has led to this event. Current account holders of Star Wars Galaxies will be given some form of special compensation for their dedication when KOTOR: Online is released. Naturally this "compensation" will be trash, as they cannot allow unfair advantages over other players that will last for more than a "brief" period of time (a few days or so sounds about normal, if anything good at all) in an massive multi-player, so ladies and gentlemen of the SWG realm, unfortunately, the end is near.

I don't know where you get this claim from Man. They came out and said that no, Galaxies would not be shut down.
This is as of October 24th. http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/55548

I think what you'll see happen, is a scaling back of SWG, such as fewer galaxy choices. Ultimately, it will be the # of paying players that will decide it, 1 way or the other.
On the other paw, man's done an excelent job of getting this forum active again... :-X
;D
