    Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided

    Game » consists of 6 releases. Released Jun 26, 2003

    A massively multiplayer game set in the Star Wars universe, Star Wars Galaxies shifted focus several times but never escaped the shadow of World of Warcraft. In December 2011, the game was shut down in preparation for the launch of BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic.

    The bombsquad knows it needs an account by september 15th right?

    • SWG MMO and Trading Card Game no longer available for sale or subscription
    • No new or reactivated accounts accepted after this date

    It'd suck if they didn't try and make one till December 16th and get hosed.

    It might be worth notifying one of them directly. I'm sure they probably do know, but if they don't this could help.

    I'm sure they already have an account. At least 1 of the people in the office would. And even if not I'm sure somebody here would gladly give them their account. 
     
    By the way, does anybody know if the game will be f2p for the last day?

    Man it would be a bummer if they couldn't be there. I'm sure they could always reach out to the Galaxies community and borrow someone's account if worst comes to worst.

    I was just about to say this. Sounds like they're already good to go.

    Personally, I think it would only minimally effect the coverage if they didn't have an account.  How great would it be if they had to watch somebody else's livestream and comment on it?  Or if they had to talk about what they imagined was going on?   Is what actually happens in SW:G really that great?  No, or it wouldn't be shutting down.

    Sucks that we won't get to see the wacky character creation phase.

    Also, it's going to suck when the game has an anticlimactic ending.

    I just assumed Jeff would already have two or three life-time subscriptions.

    Probably not. They covered the end of the Matrix Online, and the Star Trek Online Beta, so I don't see why this would be subscriber only content.
