Star Wars Galaxies, the game where I met and married my wife (before we got married to each other in real life) just announced that they will close down their service and end the game on December 15 2011. We don’t play that game anymore, but it still feels like a very sad occasion as our game characters Aserhe Ostaho and Saharaa Lightningrider will cease to exist.
I plan on logging into the game in December to say my last good byes. We spent hours in that game and loving every minute of it before we stopped playing it because of the dreaded “New Game Enhancements”, we made a lot of friends that we still hold close today.
This is an excellent opportunity for both Star Wars Galaxies veterans that quit playing and current Star Wars Galaxies subscription holders to pick up and play SWGEmu.
