I'm not going to pay for a month so I can log in for the end, but I might activate the free 45 days (I guess we have til the end of August to do it) to wander around out of morbid curiosity. That'll be more than enough time for me to piss on the corpse.
They should offer free to play till then imo. Let players return to see some old memories before it closes. Also would make sense then to remind players of their other games to possibly pick up new subs on those.
I will. This game was such a big part of my gaming life. Even though i havent played since the NGE i want to wonder, explore and see my dyeing friend pass away.
I will be I have to be there when the conn goes dead. I was there before pub 7 and I must be there when the lights go out. Does anyone know why they did not go F2P?

Only If it goes F2P the last week. But I highly doubt they would do that and give everyone who hated the changes the chance to rub it in their face one last time.
I logged in all of my toons for final screenshots...I am officially done. My son however is still trying for those 4/5 holocrons for the cloak. I wish they would give a friendlier drop rate since it is shutting down. He has worked very hard and I would love to see him accomplish that before it ends.
Nope. SWG is dead and it has been for awhile to me. I'm not going to pay $15 to be there when they pull the plug...I'd pay it to actually PULL the plug...but not just to watch the servers go down...did that enough while I was subbed that I know what it looks like
If i manage to find my game and the passwords, i was on a free trial when i took my 2 or 3 curiosity looks into the nge swg. But maybe its nice to say goodbye...

Wouldn't want to log back into the game again. Seeing Ahazi a ghost town? No thanks. I remember how quickly and how badly Ahazi depopulated after the NGE. It was a terrible, left behind feeling, especially vivid memories as to how the server was once lively. It was weird seeing it empty: Theed, Coronet, Mos Eisley, Bestine. All ghost towns.
I'd never want to go back to seeing it, even as a chance to gloat over the remains of SWG.

They blew up Intrepid... I got nowhere to go even if I wanted to.

We write to you today to inform you that on December 15, 2011, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) and LucasArts will end all services (MMO and Trading Card Game) for Star Wars Galaxies (SWG). The shutdown of SWG is a very difficult decision, but SOE and LucasArts have mutually agreed that the end of 2011 is the appropriate time to end the game.
We are extremely grateful to all of the SWG fans. We have had the rare opportunity to host one of the most dedicated and passionate online gaming communities and we truly appreciate the support we've received from each and every one of you over the course of the past eight years.
In recognition of your incredible loyalty, we are extending special Fan Appreciation offers to the current SWG community. We also plan to go out with a bang with a galaxy-ending in-game event in December and hope to see you all there. The details relating to these offers and events as well as the timeline and specifics regarding the discontinuation of the service, are provided below.
Again, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our player community for making SWG one of the best online communities in gaming history.

What's the point? Besides Pre-cu will be still available at that point anyway, where as NGE won't.

the point is to see old friends, visit your houses one last time, take a few screenshots and show the NGE crowd what "full" servers were like.

I'll be there. I want to be on the stage when the curtain is pulled forever.
I miss the good ol' days when nerds were actually intelligent.

Highly doubt Im going to give SOE more money, but if its free at the end i might.

My Free 45 days are ticking right now, there will be no return in december for me, Unless they give us the last month or 2 as a free pass.
Frankly, no. The game in its current state is akin to the last days of Vegas era Elvis.

If there were something to say goodbye to then I'd consider it, but Kauri as it was no longer exists.
I will be there just to see how it all ends.
