SOE announced on the SWG forums today that next month 12 servers will be shut down, leaving 13 remaining for the player base. It’s been nearly a year since I logged in, and at that time Bria’s population was probably close to Vanguard’s Xeth server during the same time period, which is to say less than 75 players (visible to the /who list anyway) on the entire server. Maybe SWG has more players than I give it credit for, but this has to be a good move and I’m surprised SOE isn’t consolidating down to even fewer servers for the remaining players the game has.
Due to the overwhelming success of the recent Free Character Transfer Service, we want to inform you that on October 15, 2009, at 5:00 PM PT, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) will close the following 12 Star Wars Galaxies servers:
- Corbantis
- Europe-Infinity
- Intrepid
- Kauri
- Kettemoor
- Lowca
- Naritus
- Scylla
- Tarquinas
- Tempest
- Valcyn
- Wanderhome
But hey, at least Bria is still there! My main is still there, and I hear the remnants of my old guild still has a small presence as well.
Our login is correct, except… no server!
What do you mean? Where is it?
That’s what I’m trying to tell you, kid. It’s been totally blown away!

I took advantage of the free transfer a few months ago, but after the weak announcements made at fan faire, I have finally let go and given up on SWG for good. It’s sad though, Wanderhome was the server I started on and played till the free transfer.
