The final endgame for the soon-to-be-closed MMO Star Wars Galaxies will include some dramatic events according to the official website.
The game’s Galactic Civil War is set to begin escalating starting September, when the Rebel and Empire factions begin working their way toward a decisive victory.
By the game’s closure on December 15, points will be tallied to see which side has the highest score within each server.
“The side with the higher score will win the game, and the galaxy, for each server, as well as change the way the game will end and what happens in the final moments,” a post by a community manager stated.
“Celebrations will be in order for those who win and, for the losers, let’s just say they’ll be going out with a bang.”
However, neutral players who take neither side will be given new decorations in the Storyteller system that will allow them to host their own shutdown event.
To take part all users must have an active paid subscription, Game Pass, or SOE All Access Game Pass as of September 15.
Retired players can purchase a 30-day pass to reactivate their account, and will only be charged once as long as they continue playing until the December endgame.
The closure of Star Wars Galaxies has been blamed on the incoming arrival of Star Wars: The Old Republic.
