Star Wars Galaxies Server Closures

[Sep 15, 2009, 1:51 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The Star Wars Galaxies Forums announce that 12 servers are being shut down for SOE's Star Wars MMORPG, which represent just under half of the game's 25 servers (thanks MMORPG.com). The free character transfer serviced offered earlier this year has been successful at increasing the population on the 13 servers that will remain, but this has left the 12 servers being closed even more desolate, and they say new character creation on the impacted servers is no longer allowed as of today, and remaining characters are being given the chance to migrate to one of the better populated servers right until their old homes are shut down on Thursday, October 15, 2009, at 4:40 PM Pacific Time. Here are the 12 severs being closed next month, which range from the inappropriate (Intrepid) to the ironic (Wanderhome):

- Corbantis
- Europe-Infinity
- Intrepid
- Kauri
- Kettemoor
- Lowca
- Naritus
- Scylla
- Tarquinas
- Tempest
- Valcyn
- Wanderhome

This is something that needed to happen years ago by all accounts.

Sony, more so than any company I have ever seen, has huge ego problems when it comes to admitting to mistakes. Maybe it's that whole Japanese "loss of face" thing.

Whatever it is, it's tiresome and old and they should remove themselves from gaming all together and stick to (root kitting) consumer electronics.




I don't always drink carbonated Mexican rat piss, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.
