Star Wars Galaxies running on last legs
[SHOTR=261;]54[/SHOTR]Sony Online Entertainment has sent out word that their long-running MMO Star Wars: Galaxies will close its doors soon. As of December 15th all players will have to look elsewhere.
SOE president John Smedley said this is a decision of Sony and LucasArts together. The contract between both parties stops in 2012 and with Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures and The Old Republic in sight the curtain will finally close on SW:G.
Sony did say that if they could do things over they would have launched the game a year later.

Populations have stayed pretty steady for a long time now. In fact, we recently merged a bunch of servers to help the prime-time population. But gosh, the game’s been running for a long time now, and it’s been a great run. We’re glad to have done it.
There are going to be a lot of fans that are going to say, hey can’t you give us the source code, or can’t we run a server, and the answer is going to be, ‘I’m sorry — we have to decline that.’ It’s just not possible.
Fans shouldn't expect to be able to run their own server. There are going to be a lot of fans that are going to say, hey can’t you give us the source code, or can’t we run a server, and the answer is going to be, ‘I’m sorry — we have to decline that.’ It’s just not possible.

I would have made sure the ground and space games were launched all at once. I would have given the game another year to develop and really polish it quite a bit. I think we created one of the most unique and amazing games ever created in the MMO space. It is the sandbox game. Nothing else even comes close to what we did there.
I would have really taken our time and polished combat right so we never had to do the NGE (New Game Enhancement). At some point the only thing to do is acknowledge the mistakes you made. But we can also look and fix them in the future.
The employees currently still working on SW:G will get a new project although it's yet unknown what that will be.I would have really taken our time and polished combat right so we never had to do the NGE (New Game Enhancement).
