Star Wars Galaxies MMO to shut down December 15

I know some of us played SWG in the past, funny tho a day or two before this I was checking it out just curious how it was doing these days. I personally never played however.

Star Wars Galaxies, the movie-based MMO developed and launched by Sony Online Entertainment and LucasArts, will shut down its servers permanently on December 15. The official announcement was made earlier today via a post on the game's official message boards. The shut down will also affect the spin-off Star Wars Galaxies Online Trading Card Game. In a chat with the MMO web site Massively, Sony Online's head John Smedley explained the reasons for the shut down. stating, "LucasArts has a new game coming out, and the contract would be running out in 2012 anyway, so we feel like it's the right time for the game to end."
