Just received this email, WTF?

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
Character creation will be disabled on the affected servers beginning September 15, 2009 at 4:00 AM PDT.
In accordance with the server closure date, the Free Character Transfer service has been extended through October 15. 2009. Between September 15, 2009 and October 15, 2009 at 4:59 PM PT all characters on the affected servers are eligible for a one way, one time Free Character Transfer* to any of the remaining thirteen (13) Star Wars Galaxies servers. After October 15, 2009 at 5:00 PM PT, any characters and their associated items and structures remaining on the identified servers being closed will no longer be accessible on your Star Wars Galaxies or Station Access account.

I'm surprised they are actually acknowledging the fact that servers NEEDED to be closed.

For the longest time, it seemed like SOE had their fingers in their ears and were just trying to ignore reality. There is nothing worse for an MMORPG than empty servers in my opinion. They should have consolidated years ago...

Why is this in the rumor room? Did the OP post it here? Or did a mod?
