Star Wars Galaxies Servers Closing

Sony Online Entertainment’s free character transfer service for Star Wars Galaxies was so successful, they’re closing a dozen severs next month.

That’s right, free character transfers are so popular that everything must go by October 15! Go from the twelve closing servers to the remaining thirteen, that is. From the SOE forum post on the subject:

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:

o Corbantis
o Europe-Infinity
o Intrepid
o Kauri
o Kettemoor
o Lowca
o Naritus
o Scylla
o Tarquinas
o Tempest
o Valcyn
o Wanderhome

Players have between now and October 15 to vacate the premises and head to a more populated server for some Death Trooper re-killing action. Any characters remaining on said servers past October 15th will be permanently removed from your account, so if you’re a lapsed SWG player on any of those servers, you might want to hop on and move your Jedi to a safer harbour.
