The tumultuous run of Star Wars Galaxies finally comes to a close on the 14th December, and Sony Online Entertainment has detailed how the MMO will come to a close.
According to SOE in the official forum:
* The Galactic Civil War will end and scoring will be frozen on Wednesday, December 14th, at 9:00 p.m. PST. At this time, all players will be notified who won and who lost.
-
Scheduled restarts will occur on the morning of Thursday, December 15th, and afterward various battles and events will begin. (These are optional, of course.)
-
The servers will close on December 15th at 9:00 p.m. PST (5:00 a.m. GMT).
Please note that the battles and events on December 15th will be open to and enjoyable* for both sides, regardless of who won or lost the Galactic Civil War. You may have lost the war, but you can still win the battle! We invite everyone to join us for what is sure to be a memorable day.
*Of course, the day may be slightly less enjoyable for the losing side simply because the winning side will probably not stop talking about it.
The MMO is ending not-so-coincidentally around the time Star Wars: The Old Republic is launching, the 20th December.
