Everyone has heard the rumors circulating that Star Wars Galaxies will soon leave Sony Online Entertainment at the request of LucasArts. Not true says LucasArts Community Manager Casey Keefe. Their voice for SWG issued this release to clear things up:

Several websites are passing along spurious internet rumors regarding Star Wars Galaxies. Rest assured, these rumors are completely untrue.

LucasArts and SOE have no plans to “sunset” Star Wars Galaxies. The two companies will continue to work together as partners in making Star Wars Galaxies the ultimate online Star Wars experience. As has been announced several times previously, LucasArts and SOE are 100% committed and determined to continue to support Star Wars Galaxies together, especially with our renewed focus on improving the game for existing players through robust publish and content offerings in 2006. On our forums, we have shared early plans for game updates through Publish 34, which can be found: here.

Additionally, LucasArts and SOE will be hitting the road this April and visiting several cities across the US with a series of Community Summits in an open “town hall” format where players can meet face-to-face with development team members, ask their questions, voice their concerns, as well as meet and hang out with fellow Star Wars Galaxies players.

Thanks to Casey for passing this along.

Very, very sorry to hear that these rumors are NOT true. I don't know a single person who plays who is content with the game. SOE has caused a train wreck with this and now is simply sitting back and watching it smoke and burn.

Truely dissapointing.

I'll believe it after E3.

They denied the nge before it hit too. They're not denying any involvement with Bioware either.

As long as LA continues to stand behind the mess of SWG/SOE, they will continue to allow the bad word-of-mouth
advertising to continue. That results in lost sales both in terms of SWG and non-swg offerings from both companies.

LA it is time for a change in direction and to cut SOE loose. Frankly, unless that is done, SWG/LA will continue
to suffer from an angry fan base. The only way to quell the customer base is by disolving the SOE-LA link
utterly and completely. Until then, SWG, SOE and LA deserve all the bad publicity they get both through
commercial outlets as well as the word-of-mouth, speculation and rummors. The more you fight the customer base,
the more money you loose.

By the way, this is a very Star Warsy and Iconic opinion to have since the market has rejected "kill, get treasure, repeat" as the end-all to getting Cool New Loot. And by the way, it is not technically impossible to do a rollback.

SWG is the Titanic, and the devs are playing the Violins on deck.

Dana,

With no disrespect intended, it is Julio Torres that posted this message to the offical SWG boards.
So, apparenly Casey didn't say this.

Thanks,

They would have been better saying nothing.

They denied enough things that finally happened that it's not even funny.

It's indie, sandbox and free! http://www.golemizer.com

I really believed that rumor too, it just sounded to real to be fake. I wouldn't be suprised if it was true, but for now I guess we have to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Its interesting because 1/3 of the orignal rummor which was coupled with this has been confirmed (Ralph Koster leaving).
The other 1/3, Cindy Armstrong leaving for webzen, I believe is a pending rumor to be confirmed.
The most recent license rumor "LA is not extending SOE the license" were coupled to the above departures.
Alas, "not extending" doesn't mean lost... yet.

Also note that the Dev Town Meeting/Trail thing was stated here and that is includes
both Lucas Arts and SOE. The original Thunderheart announcemnt failed to explicitly
state Lucas Arts role in this.

This much is clear: LA is taking on a much more visible role in the SWG fiasco.
Maybe SOE is on super secret probation that will result in License loss if they
don't do certain things.

Anyway, I think it is Iconic that all that is Star Warsy is coming back full circle.

How awful!

There is no hope now for SWG.

All is now lost. SOE now can completely destroy this game with LA's approval.

Time to remove SWG from my hard drive to go along with my cancelled accounts.

I don't know why LA thinks SOE will make something of this mess they have created.

If they ever do get it to work, no one will be left to play it.

WOO HOO, for them to come out and say that its not happening, means that there is a 100% chance that it IS happening.

But seriously if nobody sees that Lucasarts is the real reason for the downfall of the game, then you're just blind.
Sony makes a crappy game, but initially they had some really good minds that put together the game in the first place. But once those people started getting the royal scepter treatment from King George, they got out quick. So its puppet smedley, thunderheart and crew left holding the bag.

Once again I'll say this game had more promise but was a bigger failure than any game I've encountered. And NOW you're gonna get public feedback??? Hey, knuckleheads, You had 2 years of that already and you did squat with it.

Uninstall, burn the servers and give the license to a great company with a big payroll. You may not make as much money George, but you just might make a great long lasting game.

I never believed the rumors. But if SOE is officially denying it, now I am convinced it's true.

EQ1, EQ2, SWG, GW, CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War, and a slew of free trials and beta tests

too bad.  im playing till i accomplish everything i wanted..should take about 2months and them im out for good..again :)  game is so dumbed down and easy to play i think i'll go back to playing FF1 or something more interesting.  we all want a roll back or drastic change to the game, something similar to what it was with the devs focused on making the game stable first then expansions and content.  once again..im paying to beta test.

Thank so much! Now I wont have to worry about coming back. I was getting

tired of all the rumors flying around this game. But since LA said that them and SOE

are still going to be joined at the hip.

Thank God my subscription has been dead for over a year now.
