Sony Online's long running MMO Star Wars Galaxies was launched over six years ago but despite a major attempt to revamp the game in 2005 the game has been losing players steadily over the past few years. Now Sony Online has announced that they will be shutting down 12 of the game's remaining 25 servers on Oct. 15.

Character creation has been disabled on the affected servers and all characters still remaining n those shards can be moved over for free to the 13 remaining Star Wars Galaxies servers. The game itself is still generating new content for its players including the upcoming Halloween themed event Death Troopers.
