Say good-bye to Star Wars Galaxies. Bioware has officially roasted it.
i wonder what the fanbots have to say about this? has to be a sad day for them...
I suppose, in a way, today is their NGE Day.
Almost three years later, the day of our revenge is at hand... to paraphrase Darth Maul.
How does it feel if something replaces your 3 years investment ?
If at the same day of the NGE EVERYONE would have canceled we would had been happier alot , the whole 3 years and today.

$OE - eternal enemy of online gaming
-We finally WON !!!! 2011 $OE accepted that they have been fired 2005 by the playerbase and closed down ridiculous NGE !!
"There was suppression of speech and all kinds of things between disturbing and fascistic." Raph Koster (parted $OE)
Could someone please explain what all the excitment is about?
SW:tor hasn't gotten races or classes announced, all we know is that you can play jedi or sith with sickly big lightsabers... But really, this new game might not be released until 2010 or even 2011 if we are unlucky.
In the press release video they said early stages of progress and the lacking amount of media about the game makes me kinda dissapointed with the annoucement... Been working on for years and what do we get? 5-10 screenshots and a few concept art.
I think SOE can squeeze out quite a few more buck from the SWG subscribers without breaking a sweat.
hmm says in their gamespot talk they are gonna keep supporting Galaxies
"The Fate of Galaxies
The amount of energy, resources, and enthusiasm being thrown at The Old Republic raises one obvious question: What about Galaxies? LucasArts was emphatic about the fact that there's enough room for two viable Star Wars MMORPGs to co-exist.
The ol' Sith standby Force Choke will be back.
"We're looking to continue to support Galaxies with high-quality updates on into the future," said Jake Neri, producer for LucasArts' online division. "We're focused on a chapter release around Hoth, where we're re-creating the battle at Echo Base. We'll allow players to get in groups and jump in and just participate in a very high-quality battle. We've just released a trading card game inside of Galaxies, and fans are eating it up. Looking into next year, we're going to revamp our droid system with something called droid commander." Neri also said that SOE Austin was working in conjunction with LucasArts on further additions to Galaxies for years to come, with no end to the game in sight.
That said, Nichols is confident that the lessons learned from Galaxies' checkered history will be applied to The Old Republic. "What we can bring to the table is our experience with the brand," he said. "We can bring our knowledge of what's worked and what hasn't [worked] with Star Wars, and what's popular with Star Wars fans. We can bring elements to BioWare and say 'Hey, we know what works here and what doesn't, and let's see if we can kind of work together to kind of tweak this a little bit and tweak that.' And that's how the collaborative partnership is working."
