Star Wars Galaxiesisn’t dead — far, far from it actually. Earlier this week developer and caretaker Sony Online Entertainment announced that it plans to kill over ten servers because the MMO’s player base is so damn lively and energetic. And it was all a part of a glorious plan. Apparently, SOE has been allowing players to transfer their characters (for free) to other, more populated servers. As a result of the mass migration, SOE now has a license to pull the plug on the less populated servers.
But, oh no — plug-pulling is not abadthing. This isStar Wars Galaxieswe’re talking about here. Playing the MMO is like touching God’s face or watching a butterfly spread its wings for the first time. It’s beautiful and glorious and wonderful.
The servers — twelve total — will be killed on October 15th at 5 PM PDT. Thirteen servers will remain from the original amount. If you were wondering why exactly this is good news, check out this official statement:
“Due to the overwhelming success of the recent Free Character Transfer Service, we want to inform you that on July 07, 2025, at 5:00 PM PT, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) will close the following 12Star WarsGalaxies servers.”
“The Free Character Transfer Service launched earlier this year with the intention of allowing players to transfer to servers with more active communities, creating a more vibrant and memorableStar Wars Galaxiesgaming experience. The Free Character Transfer Service was a phenomenal success, leaving the less active servers in an undesirable position. In order to help streamline the current and new user experience, we have made the decision to close the less active servers and focus on the thrivingStar Wars Galaxiesservers.”
The names of the servers — if this concerns you — is listed below the fold. We know all of you care deeply about this game, so be sure to check it out.
