Star Wars Galaxies is no more. After eight years, the Star Wars MMO has been permanently discontinued after losing the Star Wars license. The closure was announced back in June before officially taking effect last night.
Star Wars Galaxies first launched in 2003. It was given a major redesign in 2005 and received several updates throughout 2006. In 2008, LucasArts expected the game to be able to co-exist with Star Wars: The Old Republic, which will finally launch this month.
In a statement on the game's official site, Sony Online Entertainment said the following: "On behalf of the Star Wars Galaxies team, thank you. We have truly enjoyed getting to know you - our dedicated players - over the years. From in-game events to Fan Faires, we appreciate your continued loyalty and support. It would not have been possible without you."
