On December 15th, and after eight years, players said goodbye to the massively multiplayer online RPG, Star Wars Galaxies, after Sony Online Entertainment and LucasArts shut down the servers forever.
After releasing in 2003, the massively multiplayer online game Star Wars: Galaxies has long provided fans of the rich LucasArts property a place to live out their greatest fantasies in a galaxy far, far away, but the end of 2011 will see Sony Online Entertainment bring these adventures to an end with the closure of the game.
Following rumours and reports across the internet recently, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) has confirmed the closure of its development studios in Denver, Seattle and Tucson.
As a result, 205 employment positions at SOE have been made redundant while the long-in-development massively multiplayer online action game The Agency has been cancelled in order to “focus development resources on delivering two new MMOs based on its renowned PlanetSide and EverQuest properties, while also maintaining its current portfolio of online games.”
